Britain’s Got Talent <\/a>viewers insisted one performer was “robbed” of a golden buzzer.<\/p>\n

The ITV<\/a> talent show returned this evening, with Stacey Solomon filling in for Simon Cowell<\/a> as she sat alongside KSI, Alesha Dixon, and Amanda Holden on the judging panel.<\/p>\n

Saturday night’s variety programme featured another series of auditions<\/a>, with a stuntman, a magic trio, and a school group performing.<\/p>\n

Closing the episode, father-of-three Nic Vani captivated audiences with his performance of The Lion King’s Circle of Life.<\/p>\n

“In my music career, I’ve always been at the back, so now I think it’s time for me to be in the spotlight,” he explained, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following his remarkable performance, the judges were left astounded, with KSI commenting, “Nic, I’m speechless, you weren’t in the thick of it, you owned it. That was phenomenal, your vocals were so crisp, clean, and made the crowd go crazy.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “You’re not a backup, you are the main event.”<\/p>\n

Amanda enthused: “I couldn’t agree more, the clarity of your voice, you’ve got such an amazing tone, I mean, you really, really made that song your own, it’s obviously a very familiar song, but I don’t know why, it felt like I was hearing it for the first time. What a star.”<\/p>\n

Stacey remarked, “I loved every bit of that. You’ve got such a powerful voice, the fact you can get that high was just incredible.”<\/p>\n

“Loved the polished tone to your voice, absolutely superb, can’t wait to see more of you, you deserve to be at the front of that stage,” Alesha commented.<\/p>\n

Audiences were largely in agreement, though a number were outraged that Nic had been denied a golden buzzer, which would have fast-tracked him straight to the live semi-finals.<\/p>\n

\"Stacey<\/p>\n

Ordinarily, each judge along with Ant and Dec are each permitted to press the buzzer for one act during the audition stages, with Stacey having already awarded hers to a group of schoolchildren earlier in the same episode.<\/p>\n

One frustrated viewer posted: “#BritainsGotTalent golden buzzer baffles me. Actual talented people don’t seem to get it.”<\/p>\n

Another hit out: “Sorry, how did he not get a golden buzzer??? ‘No one had any left’ idgaffffff Bruno used two before, pretty sure Simon’s used two as well, they make their own rules, bro, he deserved one.”<\/p>\n

\"Nic<\/p>\n

One viewer gushed: “Nick, you have one of the most beautiful male voices I’ve ever heard. Such a beautiful tone. What a star!”<\/p>\n

Yet another raged: “ROBBED SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE GOLDEN BUZZER.”<\/p>\n

“Now THAT was a Golden Buzzer act!!” one person concurred, while another chimed in: “Now THAT is golden buzzer worthy!!!!”<\/p>\n

“GOLDEN BUZZER WORTHY,” a further viewer declared, as another added: “This is giving me goosebumps.”<\/p>\n
