BGT's Simon Cowell leaves fans baffled as he SLAMS semi-final act – despite voting to put them through
BRITAIN'S Got Talent judge Simon Cowell has left viewers scratching their heads after blasting an act - even though he previously backed them.
Brutal BGT star Simon kicked off the live semi-finals on Saturday night by slamming dinosaur-themed rock band, Heavysaurus.

The animated group kicked off proceedings with a mix of Guns N' Roses and The Darkness songs - but Simon was less than impressed with their cover.
Cowell bluntly critiqued: "Maybe I was just in a really good mood on the auditions.
"I'm surprised we started the live shows with an act who are really, really not gonna win the show."
Berating the band, he later told presenters Ant and Dec: "I know this sounds stupid... it was like dinosaurs doing karaoke, which I know that's what it was, but it was just very... weak."
Fans ranted: "Then why the f**k did you put them in the semi, Simon? To fill it with s**t for your own act... d***head move."
A second flagged: "Simon, who put them there? Oh yes, the judges!"
"It's about time we had the old Simon back," applauded another viewer.
Despite the slump, the show started with a bang and saw Karis Anderson, who plays the iconic Tina Turner in the musical Tina, give a stellar performance.
The singer is one third of girl group Stooshe - who shot to fame in 2012.
Simon Cowell left fuming as BGT live semi-final thrown into chaos after act causes last minute line-up change
Elsewhere, Ant and Dec confirmed that this year's stand-in judge, KSI, would be featured on the panel later in the run.
KSI originally stood in for Bruno during some of the audition stages.
The YouTube star took Simon's seat during a day of auditions in Blackpool when he stood down following the death of singer Liam Payne.
The boxer appeared in every episode of the audition stages and now will sit on the panel once more as the series continues.

The degrading moment the 'best TV show' crossed a line and never looked back
There have been plenty of TV moments that critics and viewers have declared 'crossed a line'. I'm thinking of shocking moments like when Spike assaulted Buffy, the time Negan introduced Glenn to Lucille, or Black Mirror's very first episode (if you know, you know). Yet arguably the best TV series of the 2010s made a name for itself in doing things that other TV shows would never dare to do. I'm writing, of course, about Game of Thrones, a show where heroes were slaughtered, villains triumphed, and the good trampled under the boot of tyranny. From its very first episode, which ended with the attempted murder of a child who'd witnessed incest, Game of Thrones was deliberately transgressive. Yet despite its reputation for pushing boundaries, it took until season five for critics to claim the series had 'crossed a line'. Ten years ago today, the season five finale, Mother's Mercy, aired, during which Jon Snow was betrayed by his brothers, Daenerys was captured by the Dothraki, and Myrcella was murdered. However, it wasn't those stories that shocked fans and critics alike; it was Cersei Lannister's (Lena Headey) penance walk. This scene saw the former queen of Westeros walk through the streets of King's Landing naked while the common folk pelted her with rotten food. When you read those words, it may sound a bit tame – especially considering the moment has evolved into the 'shame' meme – but it genuinely was horrible to see Cersei, a character who'd always seemed so in control, robbed of her dignity and pride. The scene was criticised at the time for being gratuitously cruel, overly long, and a lazy attempt to drum up sympathy for a widely despised character. In their article for EW, Melissa Maerz – titled 'Cersei's walk of shame: Too much on Game of Thrones?' – wrote that what bothered her was how 'sexual violence and humiliation have become TV's laziest trick for getting viewers to sympathise with cold female characters.' She went on to say, 'There are more creative ways to create empathy for Cersei without resorting to sexual humiliation'. The walk, however, did inspire a lot of sympathy for Cersei. A quick scroll through the comments under the clip on YouTube will show lots of fans saying how they hated Cersei, but that this scene had made them feel sorry for her. Here's the thing, though, I think Cersei's penance walk was just the final bow from a season that taught the Game of Thrones creators the wrong lesson. You see, season five generated a lot of controversy. Beyond Cersei's walk there was the brutal murder of Shireen and Sansa Stark's rape all of which shocked viewers and got the series a lot of publicity. After this season, I think Game of Thrones – in the absence of books to adapt – became addicted to shock and scandal. That's why we got moments that seemed spectacular in the moment – I'm thinking specifically about Cersei blowing up the Sept of Baelor – but don't make much sense when you stop and think about it (why would anyone follow Cersei after this?). This wasn't a huge problem in season six, but as we moved into seasons seven and eight, characters seemed to keep losing IQ points between episodes, acting in stranger and more ridiculous ways. Our Deputy TV Editor Tom Percival shares where Game of Thrones went wrong… Game of Thrones fell off in a big way in its last two seasons, and there are a couple of reasons why. As we've addressed in this piece, the series got in a sort of arms race with itself, with each season trying to up the spectacle and surprises at the expense of its characters and the story it was trying to tell. It's also undeniable that the series lost its way a little when it ran out of books to adapt, leaving the writers with only a vague idea of where George R.R. Martin planned on taking the books. Finally, and I think this is probably the biggest problem, everyone working on it was exhausted after a decade of making the show. I think this led to them rushing the final season and caused the massive pacing issues (especially around Daenerys' turn to the dark side). It was clear the show had become more and more dependent on scandal and shock as the quality of the writing waned. More Trending This all culminated, of course, with the much-maligned season eight finale, where Jon Snow killed Daenerys after she went mad and torched King's Landing. This ending, while undeniably surprising, was widely criticised as rushed and poorly executed. And you know what put the show on the road to ruin? I think it was Cersei's first few steps of her penance walk. All eight seasons of Game of Thrones are available to stream now on NOW. Got a story?

At Sean 'Diddy' Combs' trial, some online content creators are playing by different rules
In recent years, the defamation suit between actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard and the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion by fellow rapper Tory Lanez put a new spin on how celebrity trials are covered, as content creators and vloggers flooded social media feeds with the most explosive moments. The federal trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs is no exception. Each day, outside a towering courthouse in lower Manhattan, a horde of traditional media outlets, online streamers and curious spectators jostle to score a seat inside the main courtroom where Combs is facing sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges that could result in a lengthy prison sentence if convicted. Sign up for the ' Diddy on Trial ' newsletter for key developments and analysis When the proceedings pause for a lunch break or conclude for the day, it's the dozens of content creators who take center stage, scrambling to the sidewalks to set up their cellphone tripods and emote the latest testimony and courtroom drama for their eager followers. But with Combs' fate unfolding in a trial that is not being televised, the rush to relay every sordid detail and rack up views can pose challenges fraught with ethical issues as well. The real-life consequences came to light when two women who took the stand using pseudonyms were exposed when their presumed names were leaked online, highlighting how irresponsible behavior in this new wave of content creation can be harmful. Federal prosecutors said 'Mia,' a former assistant to Combs, had her identity revealed by a YouTube streamer who had been in the courtroom and her name was also posted on X, while another court watcher may have unmasked 'Jane,' an ex-girlfriend of Combs who testified over six days. Jane's personal lawyer told U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian last week that such 'posts and media outlets threaten her safety and privacy that led to the court's pseudonym order.' Subramanian has said he would consider specific media gag orders or barring violators from court in a trial poised to continue through early July. Revealing the names of Combs' accusers wouldn't necessarily impact the trial itself, since jurors aren't supposed to consume media about the case or talk about it to others — but it still represents a line that must be tread carefully, said Mark Chutkow, a defense lawyer who handled racketeering cases as a federal prosecutor in Detroit. If names are leaked, he said, 'it could deter victims from coming forward in future high-profile cases because they won't believe the law enforcement assurances that their identities will be protected.' To help protect the accusers' identities, the court sketches of them released publicly have not included their facial features, and traditional media coverage of their testimonies hasn't included physical descriptions. For the creator behind the YouTube account Make It Make Sense, which has more than 213,000 subscribers, shining a light on the accusers' experiences was an important reason to cover the trial, he said. He temporarily moved to New York to be in the courthouse each day. 'Do not try to guess who Jane is, please,' he told his followers recently. 'It's not a joke. She is supposed to remain anonymous.' The creator behind Make It Make Sense told NBC News after court ended this week that 'legacy media' may understand the repercussions of certain actions, but there is a different attitude among some content creators who are attending these high-profile trials for the first time and seeking to go viral. 'Exposing people's names does not move the needle or change the story,' said the channel's creator, who asked for his real name not to be used because of fears for his personal safety. One afternoon after Combs' trial let out, a woman who said she works as a court employee gushed as she watched popular online streamers — like the man behind Make It Make Sense — leaving the courthouse. 'They're how I get my information,' she said. And no legal background is required. For some content creators, it's simply about fulfilling people's curiosity — and their own. Michelle Bracy of Manhattan said her TikTok account, miss_knockout, has grown from about 9,000 followers since Combs' trial began in mid-May to now more than 35,800. She said she goes live in the mornings before the trial starts, sits in court where she takes extensive notes on a legal pad, and then returns outside the courthouse at the day's end, sometimes broadcasting through the evening. 'I do follow the rules because, of course, it's TikTok, and you don't want to be removed,' Bracy said, 'but I also make my coverage more relatable to people. And I stay in the middle. I'm not on this side, I'm not on that side. I just get the facts on both sides.' The 2022 courtroom dispute between Depp and Heard showcased a new frontier among online content creation. The trial, which was televised, attracted droves of livestreamers and spectators to outside a Fairfax, Virginia, courthouse where they could show their support for either side. Online as well, memes and hashtags, particularly ones manufactured to support Depp, popped up and gained billions of views on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. Combs' case has not attracted that same groundswell, as the initial appearance of people in 'Free Diddy' T-shirts early in the trial has subsided outside the courthouse. But on days when certain witnesses have taken the stand, including his ex-girlfriend, Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, the rapper Kid Cudi and Jane, their presence reinvigorates interest. On Friday, the courthouse was buzzing with a surprise appearance by the rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, who tried to get inside the main courtroom to support Combs and was ushered instead to a court overflow room, where he stayed for several minutes. When he left, members of the media and vloggers ran for the elevators to follow him outside, sprinting across the promenade to catch him before a car could whisk him away. It's these viral moments and quick interactions with key figures in the trial that content creators like Bracy yearn for, she said. She had her own moment last month with one of Combs' defense lawyers that helped increase her followers. 'Are you Brian Steel?' she said before Steel entered the courthouse. 'Can you say 'hi' to my TikTok real quick?' 'Hey,' Steel responded. The idea that other content creators would defy court orders in Combs' trial is disappointing, Bracy told NBC News. 'You got to respect the court system and the judge,' she said, 'and be bright enough not to repeat the names.' Competition can be stiff among the creators. When court lets out, they jockey for position with television cameras as Combs' family, including his mother and children, are escorted by security to their car. The spectacle can draw a small crowd from interested passersby. Oota Ongo, a YouTube streamer from Brooklyn, gives street preacher energy as he talks to his more than 13,600 subscribers from outside the courthouse. He told NBC News that he started covering the trial, his first, to 'see everything for myself and put my biases aside.' The most surprising thing about the trial, he added, has been knowing how much sway he can have. 'How small content creators, big content creators, big publications, big news programs, all of these people are merging as one,' Ongo said. 'I really dived in,' he added. 'This is our trial of the century.' On a recent afternoon after court, he began streaming to his channel, contending with several other online streamers pacing the sidewalk, a crush of media cameras and reporters, and unrelenting New York City street noise. He took it all in, anticipating what's to come when the jury finally reaches a verdict after weeks of an energized trial. Like 'Madison Square [Garden] out here. Psychos. People on unicycles, like this,' an expressive Ongo told his followers, pointing to a man pedaling a unicycle. 'All of that going on. Drinking and juggling going by you. The Moon Man. All of that is out here because they're here every day.'

Britain's Got Talent child star hits out after having entire image 'controlled'
Natalie Okri made it to the Britain's Got Talent semi-finals as a child, and went on to get signed by Simon Cowell's music label. Now as an adult she is still making hits but has gone in a completely different direction Natalie Okri brought the nation to tears in 2009 when, at just 10 years old, she delivered an achingly sweet rendition of Alicia Keys' No One on the Britain's Got Talent stage. Natalie's performance earned her praise from all of the BGT judges, including famously hard-to-please Simon Cowell, and she even made it to the semi-finals where she competed against heavyweights such as Diversity and Susan Boyle. Sixteen years later Natalie is still involved with the music industry, but her journey towards making music that reflects who she is inside has not been without its challenges. Shortly after BGT, Natalie was signed to Cowell's Syco Entertainment label. What seemed like a dream come true quickly became overwhelming as the girl struggled to balance time at school with her new world of rehearsals, studio hours, and live performances. "My mum was very concerned, and my dad, who's a barrister, got the contract cancelled. When I was 16, I released my first-ever song and started again. I started taking it more seriously in my third year of university when I was about 19, releasing regularly from there," she previously told Cene magazine: Although she was initially pleased to be signed by a label again in 2020, Natalie now looks back on that time with a degree of regret. In an exclusive interview with The Mirror, she admitted that she feels like she lost creative control over the music she was making and the way she was being marketed, saying: "When you're so young and you have a label, so many people's hands are in it, and you don't really get that much of a say. "They choose your songs, they choose your look, they choose what you wear, and they kind of tell you what your story is, rather than you having your own story. It's very much like [a game of] design your artist." Now, as an independent artist at 26, Natalie is reclaiming her voice. The singer has done away with the influence of record execs, deleted her old catalogue of tracks that she no longer feels reflect her values, and stopped drinking in the studio. This turning point came after her track Roll With Me, which she worked on with rappers Sneakbo and Ramz, took off on TikTok - only for her to get a shock when she heard her own lyrics quoted back to her in church. Natalie shared: "I was leading praise and worship in the choir, and these little girls that were like 12 and 13 years old came up to me and started singing my lyrics back to me. In the lyrics, I'm swearing and they sang the swear words to me. "And this is in church, and they're young and I was like, 'Whoa, don't sing those lyrics.' It dawned on me that I'm influencing these younger girls to be swearing and to be drinking alcohol and just living this lifestyle that is not even a lifestyle that I live. "I just felt like it was not a good influence on the younger generation. I would like my music to inspire, to uplift, to be positive, and to encourage and not be a bad influence." The singer has called some of the expectations label execs used to place on her "toxic", adding: "They like to see you shaking a bit of arse on the music video. They like to see you doing things that are sometimes toxic and I don't want to have to be the artist that lives up to that expectation anymore. I would rather be true to myself." She has since released R&B tracks Blessings and Hot, and made appearances on BBC Radio 1Xtra. This May she celebrated a new career milestone - performing her own music at the Liverpool Gospel Festival. Fans cheered her on after she posted a behind-the-scenes video of her rehearsals, gushing: "Beautiful cover and song. Congratulations girl." Natalie added: "I feel like we're in a time where people need something that is refreshing, they need something that can uplift, motivate. I've noticed that a lot of people have been changing their kind of music into music that is more positive, cause, yeah, it's just that time. People are actually now seeing my story and seeing me for who I am. I'm really excited to see where that's going to go."
