Viewers of the latest edition of Britain’s Got Talent<\/a> on Saturday, February 28 had a huge complaint just minutes into the show as freestyle rap act Macshane and Delby took to the stage during the second week of auditions for the long running talent competition<\/a>. The duo performed after the opening act, rock band SOS, who had been awarded four yeses from the judges Amanda Holden<\/a>, Alesha Dixon<\/a>, Simon Cowell and KSI. As they arrived on stage to introduce themselves, it became obvious they weren’t locals as they both spoke with a broad Australian accent. They confirmed this, revealing they were in fact from Perth and had travelled for 30 hours to make the show.<\/p>\n

These watching at home were not impressed and took to X to vent about the lack of British talent on the show.One fumed: “Australia Got Talent again tonight.” Another added: “Scouted Australian act again.” A third chimed in: “This is Britain’s Got Talent and this rap act is from Australia!”<\/p>\n

A fourth shared unamusedly: “Aussie got talent.” A fifth concurred: “Australia’s got talent.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a sixth raged: “BGT Australia again? THIS IS BGT FFS, however, this was right up KSI’s Street for sure.”<\/p>\n

Speaking to the judges before they performed, Delby said they had flown 30 hours, “for the best three minutes of our lives.”<\/p>\n

When Simon Cowell said they must be confident, they laughed: “We must be quite insane, because we don’t know what we’re doing.”<\/p>\n

Explaining their act they said: “We freestyle rap so what we do is we make everything up on the spot, but we use…the audience.<\/p>\n

“We rhyme about what we can see,” they said asking the audience and judges to hold up intersting items they had in their pockets.<\/p>\n

Joking they had “never been more under prepared” they gave an energetic performance which received a standing ovation.<\/p>\n

They also managed to get four yeses from the judges who had been impressed by their act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Viewers of the latest edition of Britain’s Got Talent on Saturday, February 28 had a huge complaint just…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":510586,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,255873,255875,255870,255868,255869,255872,255871,58346,134,6207,255874,247624,427],"class_list":["post-510585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-bgt","tag-bgt-latest","tag-britains-got-talent-auditions","tag-britains-got-talent-complaints","tag-britains-got-talent-latest","tag-britains-got-talent-macshane-delby","tag-britains-got-talent-news","tag-britains-got-talent","tag-entertainment","tag-itv","tag-itv-bgt","tag-itv-britains-got-talent","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=510585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510585\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/510586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=510585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
