Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/a> viewers claimed one singer was \u201crobbed\u201d of a golden buzzer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ITV talent competition returned tonight<\/a>, with Stacey Solomon<\/a> stepping in for Simon Cowell as she joined KSI, Alesha Dixon, and Amanda Holden on the judging panel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The variety show on Saturday evening saw another round of auditions, with a stuntman, a magic trio, and a school group taking to the stage.<\/p>\n

Rounding off the episode, dad-of-three Nic Vani stunned audiences with his rendition of The Lion King\u2019s Circle of Life.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my music career, I\u2019ve always been at the back, so now I think it\u2019s time for me to be in the spotlight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"Nic<\/p>\n

After his incredible performance, the judges were blown away, with KSI saying, \u201cNic, I\u2019m speechless, you weren\u2019t in the thick of it, you owned it. That was phenomenal, your vocals were so crisp, clean, and made the crowd go crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cYou\u2019re not a backup, you are the main event.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amanda praised: \u201cI couldn\u2019t agree more, the clarity of your voice, you\u2019ve got such an amazing tone, I mean, you really, really made that song your own, it\u2019s obviously a very familiar song, but I don\u2019t know why, it felt like I was hearing it for the first time. What a star.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stacey added, \u201cI loved every bit of that. You\u2019ve got such a powerful voice, the fact you can get that high was just incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Stacey<\/p>\n

\u201cLoved the polished tone to your voice, absolutely superb, can\u2019t wait to see more of you, you deserve to be at the front of that stage,\u201d Alesha said.<\/p>\n

Viewers couldn\u2019t agree more, though several fumed Nic had been robbed of a golden buzzer, which would propel him straight to the live semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Typically, each judge and Ant and Dec get to press the buzzer for one act they see at the audition stages, with Stacey giving hers to a group of school children earlier in tonight\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n

One viewer fumed: \u201c#BritainsGotTalent golden buzzer baffles me. Actual talented people don\u2019t seem to get it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another slammed: \u201cSorry, how did he not get a golden buzzer??? \u2018No one had any left\u2019 idgaffffff Bruno used two before, pretty sure Simon\u2019s used two as well, they make their own rules, bro, he deserved one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Someone else said, \u201cNick, you have one of the most beautiful male voices I\u2019ve ever heard. Such a beautiful tone. What a star!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow THAT was a Golden Buzzer act!!\u201d another agreed, as someone else echoed: \u201cNow THAT is golden buzzer worthy!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGOLDEN BUZZER WORTHY,\u201d yet another viewer wrote, as one shared: \u201cThis is giving me goosebumps.\u201d<\/p>\n
