Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell was blasted by viewers for his critique of young singer Tina Connolly's performance. After 15-year-old Tia belted out Katy Perry's hit Firework in the second live semi-final on Tuesday (May 30), Simon bluntly told her she was put through from the audition stage "not because you're the best singer in the competition, but because you've got guts."
Fans thought Simon had reverted back to his days on The X Factor as he then went on to tell her that she should join a group instead. Amazed viewers took to Twitter to have their say on his remarks.
@bugisnotonfire said: "Not over Simon saying ur not the best singer u jus have guts as if she’s not stood right there #bgt." And @WhoPotterVian tweeted: "'Not because you're the best singer in the competition...' - Erm, you do realise she's stood right there, Simon?"
