Thomas the Juggler treated disrespectfully.
Anyone else feel he was treated rudely. I do.

He suffered from the age old problem on this show of at least having a modicum of talent in what he does.
...and of not being 6 years old or singing. |

His name is Thomas. Robbie is the Welsh singer.
But yes, I agree with you. |

I'm kinda torn on this issue tbh. Yes, it was a bit rude.....but at the same time, if you enter a competition like BGT then being judged is a major part of the process. If you can't handle criticism then you really shouldn't put yourself up there.
...I stress again though, it was a tad rude of Alesha. |

I didn't think it was fair. It obviously didn't fit the criteria of singers or dancers this year of a young age.

But yes, I agree with you. They were very rude and off with him unnecessarily so. If they felt that way they should not have put him through a second time only to buzz before his act had taken off. Very disrespectful I thought |

I think he could handle the criticism. He didn't look at all bothered or upset at their comments. He came across as quite mature, and seemed older than 15 I thought.

He was treated harshly , this is a variety show , the panel should show the same level of respect to all acts.
Alesha showed lack of depth in understanding different types of skills , but hey ,he was only in the semis so the luminites would get an easy ride |

You're right...it was more the point that you are there to be, possibly, criticised and thus if you can't handle that then you shouldn't be there. Not necessarily his actual reactions, more the comments about being criticised as per the thread.
Also the clips after showed the buzzes during his act.Poor show. |

I don't think the measuring tool for talent shows should necessarily be entirely about filling 80'000 stadiums or keeping people amused for two hours plus. You can see plenty of videos or clips of phenomenal talent that is done & dusted in 30 seconds. |

TBF, it's a pretty limited act. The main highlight was him walking down the stairs whilst juggling....in between juggling. It's a nice talent to have, but unless he juggles with balls of fire then there really isn't much to get excited about.

I think the judges need to get it into their thick skulls that if someone is put through to the semifinals as a juggler, that there should be no surprise when they turn up in the semi finals...and 'juggle'.

![]() That was bang out of order. Who is Alesha to decide for the rest for us what is "cool" and what is not. Thomas was incredibly talented through his hard work and practice and I enjoyed his act. All the pathetic judges could do was snigger about balls. For a teenager I thought Thomas was vey likable and dignified taking that sort of criticism. What did the judges expect him to do? dance around and sing? |

Yes Alesha was rude. I found the dancers annoying and you couldn't see what he was doing very well because there were these legs flying everywhere
