I haven't watched the show for long so don't know how many seasons the had the golden buzzers. But for example, last year, was the winner a golden buzzer recipient? My apologies for my crap memory.

And in your opinion, are the golden buzzers being utilized correctly (for lack of a better word)? I've read opinions on here where they should be used for acts that are unlikely to make it to the semi-final stage on their own.

2015 golden buzzers did not do so well, none of them top 3 in the final, some of them not getting past the semi final stage.

Cowell - Calum Scott - Won semi-final 5

Ant n Dec - Boyband - Judges vote semi 4

Holden - Revelation Avenue - Lost judges vote, eliminated semi 2

Dixon - Entity Allstars - Won judges vote semi 1

Walliams - Lorraine Bowen - Eliminated Semi 1, didn't get to judges vote even


The winning dancing dog(s) were not a golden buzzer

The year before Bars & Melody got to third place, so they will be the most successful golden buzz so far.

I didn't remember either, good thread

Some first year Golden Buzzer acts.

Ant and Dec - The black "comedian"

Alesha - The girl group.

Golden Buzzers 2014

Holden - Dance act Paddy & Nico - Won judges vote semi 5, didn't make top 3 in final

Cowell - Bars & Melody - Third Place

Walliams - singer Christian Spridon - eliminated semi 1

Dixon - REAformed (girl group) - Eliminated Semi 3

Ant & Dec - impressionist Toju - eliminated semi 4

Sounds like quite a mixed bag then. What is the point in it all? Just a gimmick to get the audience in a frenzy?
