Simon Cowell seemingly ‘broke show rules’ by pressing the Golden Buzzer again, even though he had already used it earlier in the series.
The band, consisting of musicians with learning disabilities, delivered a heartfelt performance of an original song about acceptance and understanding, leaving a lasting impact on viewers.
Those watching at home were deeply moved, with many sharing their emotions on social media. One viewer wrote on X: “Well done, Electric Umbrella—brilliant! #BGT”
Another added: “Wow, Electric Umbrella on @BGT brought a tear to my eye. What an act—this is what the show is all about! #GoldenBuzzer #BGT.”
A third viewer shared: “Electric Umbrella made me so emotional—what a performance! #BritainsGotTalent #BGT.”
Someone else commented: “Electric Umbrella had me smiling from ear to ear the entire time. What a fabulous song from a fantastic group! It may not be ‘Golden Buzzer worthy’ for everyone, but in my opinion, they absolutely deserved it. #BGT.”
Simon explained that he had already used up his Golden Buzzers.
Saturday night’s episode of Britain’s Got Talent featured a diverse lineup of performers, each hoping to impress the judges.
One standout act, Williams Sanchez, shocked the panel with his unusual eye-popping routine, in which he danced while making his eyes bulge to the beat. Unfortunately for the Italian contestant, his performance didn’t land well, earning him multiple buzzers from the judges.
Meanwhile, viewers noticed that head judge Simon Cowell was absent from the panel, with KSI stepping in as his temporary replacement. Simon skipped the latest round of auditions following the tragic passing of former One Direction star Liam Payne. The show had also briefly paused auditions in the wake of the singer’s death.
