Golden Buzzer conundrum
Something that was brought up in the live thread tonight. Cannot see another thread exactly on this.
Why are the judges putting through acts by the Golden Buzzer that are clearly going to make the semis anyway? What is the point of that. Looks like Walliams, what ever you think, is the only one that uses it for the right reason (someone/act that would not get through otherwise but for whatever reason they personally love - for good or ill). As I said in the live thread from AGT here is the prime example of when and why a Golden Buzzer should be used. Other examples? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3MsZjx1K8k We have had 4 this year already - ALL been a waste of time IMO. |

All four were fast tracked and decided before the show started.
Simon actually mentioned tonight, he invited Lauren Platt's brother onto the show. |

I understand where you are coming from but generally if the act is talented enough then they get enough "Yes's" to get through anyway. I see the golden buzzer more of as a way of showing appreciation for an act they feel is exceptionally talented. If all the judges used their buzzer like David Walliams does then there would be too many "joke acts" or acts to a very acquired taste in the semis.

All we have is yet another singer/dancer - that much different from the normal procedure? No. |

Being put through to the semi finals automatically is no big deal. Almost all the acts we see put through are in there anyway.
