Pressing another judge's buzzer

I really think they should make a rule so it's invalid if that happens. It's so bloody annoying! How is it fair for an act to have to stop when they technically haven't had all 4 judges buzz them?
I also hate it when they buzz straight as soon as one of the others do. "Oh, they've done it, I can now". But not half as much as pressing another's buzzer. >:(:blush:

It was staged....You should believe nothing and assume every minute of that show is staged start to finish.
That may be the case but, I didn't think Simon looked too happy.
It's not 'may' - IT WAS STAGED! Pretty much like the whole show.
I would even go so far to say that the show, from first episode to last is staged in some way, same with xfactor. We've been subject to the same thing year after year and there are no more tricks left to show, much like a magician doing the same trick over and over.
I am pretty sure he pressed it because it was scripted
There's loads of things that are probably set up on this show. The biggest setups are when a young teenage lass/lad starts singing and then all of a sudden, Cowell stops them and asks if they have a different song. Funny how he doesn't ask this of the adult singers that go on. This is probably because he knows that a lot of the viewers at home will be a) taken in by his manipulation and b) the youngster gives off the 'aww' factor. David, Alesha and Amanda probably do exactly what Simon wants anyway.
I wouldn't be surprised if Cowell told David to press it when that act was on, but then told him not to say anything to the other two so that this would mean that they'd both give off a real reaction. Cowell can be VERY manipulative where his shows are concerned. I like Britain's Got Talent all the same though.
Rules is rules. Perhaps you'd like Hawkeye & action replays being brought in. Maybe even goal line technology.
(the buzzer just a gimmick like the voices's spinning chairs.
And while on the subject of buzzers - why on earth have a buzzer active in the semi-final and final. Having whittled thousand of acts down to the last 30 or so - they then decide some of them are still so bad, they can't be allowed to finish their act either. Speaks volumes about the whole overrated experience, when you think about it.
I agree that it would be far better to let the act perform for a set time. The buzzer can even dent a contestant's performance if they're successfully getting over their nervousness on the stage. This was never meant to be a serious talent show though, but a one that's meant to entertain the viewer with laughs and amazement. It could be improved quite a bit in sensible ways but like I said, Cowell created this show purely for 'entertainment' and amazement. He's not bothered about being rational and sensible at all. This is why the producers let some abysmal auditioness through.
Blah blah blah, let people believe what they want to believe.
