ITV Starstruck viewers pick same fault with judges as they make a plea

Starstruck has had fans flocking to social media to have their say over the acts on Saturday nights as superfans transform into their musical icons. Each weekend the ITV singing contest sees four teams of superfans transform into their idol for a performance of one of their classic songs.

The acts are judged by superstar singers Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight and Shania Twain and West End star Jason Manford., and fans took to Twitter to have their say as they made the same point during tonight's episode (March 11). Some viewers think the judges are being too positive in their comments towards the acts.

@WindingKinky pleaded: "These so called judges are too goodie two shoes, just tell them how you really feel." And @Jamietra1 tweeted: "This is a good show but the always positive comments from the judges is annoying."

@JillHudson21 exclaimed: "I’m sure these judges are watching some other show!!!" And @CtTweets08 echoed: "Swear the judges watch a different performance to us."

Tonight the judges and viewers at home watched Team Robbie Williams, Team Stevie Nicks, Team Justin Bieber and Team Beyonce. After they had all delivered Adam said it had been a difficult decision to choose their winning team.

"We were truly torn at the judging desk," he said, before declaring the winner to be Team Beyonce. And the singer chosen to go through to the final from Team Beyonce was Esther-Olivia.

@TVMusings22 cheered: "Team Beyonce smashed it up!#Starstruck come on!!!" @craggsy82 agreed: "3 cracking singers. It has to be said. I believe the judges picked this team for their overall performances. Most definitely, it's a tough decision." And @instant_kitten wrote: "All 3 of them are cracking - so good!"

Last week Jason clapped back at a viewer who disagreed with the judges choosing Team Ed Sheeran over Judy Garland. @RedDevilWazza asked: "WTF were you lot thinking not picking the Judy singers tonight? You only picked the Eds because the one bloke looked like him, he sounded NOTHING like him." And Jason replied: "I disagree but that the fun of the show pal."
