We're only two days into a week of Britain's Got Talent semi-finals and viewers are already unimpressed. The second of five live shows took place on Tuesday night (May 31) with several more acts taking to the stage in a bid to make it to Sunday's final.
A group of young acts, including schoolboy comedian Dante Marvin, Voices of the Armed Forces Children Choir, and nine-year old magician Ryland Petty, all performed in front of the judges, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and David Walliams during the latest show.
Also on the bill were Ranger Chris, escapologist Andrew Basso, and Amber and the Dancing Collies. But it was impressionist Ben Nickless and musical duo Flintz and T4ylor have made it through to the BGT final, which takes place this Sunday, June 5.

But there was upset among fans who didn't think the right act went through. And that wasn't all they were annoyed at. During the show, BGT viewers flocked to social media to complain about the judges.
As usual, Amanda, Simon, Alesha, and David give their feedback after each performance. While the majority of the decision comes down to the public vote, the foursome do get to choose who goes through to the final between the acts who got the second and third most votes - which on Tuesday night was Flintz and T4aylor and Amber and the Dancing Collies.
But many feel like the judges are overpraising many of the acts. @poptvfilm tweeted: "Tonight has been the worst #BGT live show I’ve ever watched! How are judges dishing out so much praise? The acts tonight would’ve been buzzed off in the audition rounds in the OG shows."
@Scouseweegian said: "Are the judges not allowed to give negative criticism anymore? Is every act phenomenal even when it’s sh**e? #BGT." @LouNaylor complained: "the judges must be watching a different show to the one on my TV. Literally nothing worth voting for tonight!"
@Scotthopper1 wrote: "Are the judges sat on shock buzzers that go off at the end of every act forcing them to stand up? Can't think of any other reason why they'd be up so much tonight, painful act after painful act #bgt." @ATVFriend shared: "I do wish the Judges would hold back on there comments, how many really go to the next level Please keep it in check Once this is over the acts have to go back to reality."
However, that appeared to change when David piped up of Chris the Ranger's latest performance with his human-sized dinosaurs. He was booed by the Hammersmith Apollo audience he was "not sure where the talent is" before he continued: "You’ve got some friends who like dressing up as dinosaurs." He then jumped out of his seat and shouted to the audience: "Boo you!"
And viewers were quick to praise him. @DannyDenay said: "'I'm not sure what the talent is' David Walliams, in the 20 odd years you've been about.. first time I agree with you!" @thrashedroadfur tweeted: "Go on David! Saying what we all at home were thinking #bgt."
