number 5 is so stupid. Simon Cowell has said on multiple occasions that he is honoured that acts from other countries come and pergormon BGTIF If it's good enough for the freator of the show - Simon Cowell, it should be good enough for you.

The controversy surrounding Paddy and Nico shouldn't have been as big as it was. Another similar thing happened with the contestant Destiny Chukunyere in 2017. She represented Malta in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2015 (even singing the song she auditioned with in BGT in the national final to be chosen) and won the whole thing. She even mentions this before her audition. Additionally, in 2021, she went on to represent Malta in the adult Eurovision Song Contest, placing in the top 10.

In my opinion, Jules and Matisse was the biggest storm in a teacup. Who cares if the dog had a stunt double? People watch hundreds of movies and TV shows where stunt doubles are used for their human actors and nobody claims they were misled because of it. And it's not like someone lipsyncing to someone else's voice and pretending it's theirs - Matisse was still a talented performing dog and Jules a talented trainer.

Children under 6 shouldn't be on these shows

[@imalwaysright]

The people that complained about JLo”s dress and the BLM dance are the same people that complain about “cancel culture”, “PC world”

[@jessfawkes5727]

I couldn’t of said it better myself!

[@f1fantic1]

8:41 burst out laughing when saw this live at the time

[@dickinson509]

I found the dog controversy daft. The impressive part of the act was that she could train the dogs and If I remember rightly, she had one dog do something the other was scared to do.

[@MarquisDeSacks]

As an American, let me be the first to say that Britain takes their talent competitions WAAAYY more seriously than we do across the pond. 😆

[@tiarneethorpe8848]

The thing about Jennifer Lopez is kinda ridiculous. children wear leotards to do ballet. I think the only thing that could’ve been toned down was some of the Choreography

[@PandaClare20]

For some reason that girl in the green top reminded me of Tracey Beaker 😂

[@fairahzan]

"Bug off" 😂😂

Dont make me come down there....oooo scary

Dr Gore is an old college mate of mine, and actually one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet!

Number 1. 25000+ racists complained.

[@imalwaysright]

People really got in their feelings about these? Lmao 😂😂😂😂 “Racist towards white people”, “dog stunt double”, “but they’re not from Britain”, “granny already danced in a Spanish talent show”. So many fragile tears

[@abs_kuzmin_2010]

My favourite BGT act is Attraction

[@GuessMyName234]

Some people are just too touchy

[@chrisneville4338]

lol. If number 1 is racist, then I'm the pope's second cousin twice removed - note the sarcasm.

[@ottagol1985]

I doubt the Dr. Gore clips would disappear off the internet.

[@lewlewlaser037]

it should also be worth noting that diversity also intended to break the record of Ofcom complaints with their BLM performance, this was confirmed by Ashley banjo on the graham Norton show a few days (or weeks) after.

[@phippskat]

diversity are amazing

[@hulme187]

Everyone needs to get a grip

[@jamieweyer2268]

Number 2 is hilarious 🤣

[@timglennon6814]

This show is rigged from the start.

You are rigged

Totally rigged

Have you seen Zoës story? She told all

[@imalwaysright]

How?

@@GuessMyName234 wrong show

[@TomsTube]

Some of these “controversies” are absolutely ridiculous, especially by today’s standards!!! The BLM performance, a stunt dog, Non-British Shadow performers and J-Lo showing too much thigh are pretty ridiculous especially. This list doesn’t paint the Brits in a particularly flattering light.

[@thenewmodfather]

The most rigged show in TV history

[@MateusHonrado]

There are other shows in contention for that title.

Yes. Hells Kitchen USA. You want predictable, this has it in spades

Not really.

"Racist towards white people" lmao

[@davidz3879]

Are you saying that no such thing exists? You've not heard of Richard Everitt, Ross Parker, Gavin Hopley or Kriss Donald?

[@Maximus213]

@@davidz3879 No, but it's laughable to be offended by black people highlighting their struggle and marginalization by saying it's "racist to white people". You naming 4 random cases across the world to prove white people can be hate crimed is random. No need to be offended and project.

[@davidz3879]

@@Maximus213 If the UK is so bad for black people, why do their numbers increase substantially each year? Struggles & marginalisation in what way? Are you implying that white people are somehow encouraging them to become teenage single mothers & absent fathers? Those four cases were all in the UK, not across the world.

[@nebbynetwork2089]

Do you think they should have given that holly girl a second chance when she messed up her song? I'm 50/50 also it was so funny when Amanda said the F word

[@timglennon6814]

I know she’s a little girl, but kids have to realise that they can win everything. Parents should be teaching their kids that.

[@nebbynetwork2089]

@@timglennon6814 true somthing about a crying child just pushes all my buttons

[@imalwaysright]

Depends on the rules of the competition. The show is a competition with a large prize. Theyre legally bound by those rules. So if the rules say no second attempt, she shouldn’t get another chance even if a child

[@IrishScribbler]

@@timglennon6814 Whereas a moron like you can’t even string a sentence together correctly. “Kids have to realise that they can win everything”. Err no, they can’t. When you finish primary school you might understand that. Prat.

No she shouldn’t of. That’s way of the world, u rarely get second chances, my kids know that

this girl looks like Ariana Grande.

Hollie was just spoilt... That wasn't a sad cry, but a pending tantrum

Talking about controversial acts on BGT? Why not talk about David Twattiams potenially getting the cut for derogitory language towards contestants? No?
