This series saw the introduction of the new 'golden buzzer'. During the auditions, as well as the standard buzzers, each judge was given one 'golden buzzer'. They could use this buzzer only once, and it would send that auditionee straight through to the live semi-finals regardless of the opinions of the other three judges.[3] Presenters Ant & Dec were given a golden buzzer as well.[4] The golden buzzer has previously been used on Germany's Got Talent.[5]

During the second day of the Birmingham auditions on 2 February, Holden was the first judge to use her golden buzzer,[6] then Cowell used his on the second day of auditions in Manchester [7] Dixon was left as the only judge yet to use her golden buzzer after Walliams used his on the first day of the London auditions on 11 February.[8] The following day, Dixon finally pressed her golden buzzer on the second day of the London auditions.[9] Ant and Dec pressed their buzzer on the final day of London auditions.

Thoughts?

I think it's a good idea myself but will see a few joke acts go through because of this.

It sounds good, better than the XF flash vote

[Samm]

Sounds good just hope they use it on the right act

[Pete.]

Great idea

[Jords]

My flatmate went to see BGT and told me about it

[Black Dagger]

Sounds good, hope they don't waste it on singers.

Last series looked like a variety series for once and it was lovely, but it was still singer centric in the final which I hate as an American Idol, The Voice and X Factor viewer.

[Headie]

Ugh, watch the Golden Buzzer people getted pimped so much.

They'll have 1 of each contestant perform in each semi-final, and they'll all get the closing slots as well *insert eyeroll*

David Walliams using his golden buzzer on Sex Bomb singing Christian Spridon.

I lmao..... Especially cos Simon was furious.

[Braden]

I thought it was absolutely hilarious. Alisha annoyed me with how she kept pressing David's buzzer, so it was an amazing screw you to her and all the other judges.

It could really backfire on David if someone good gets rejected and that singer basically took their place because of him. But I suppose novelty acts are a must in the lives now-a-days.

Agree with this.

They should be slapped in the face if they touch another judge's buzzer. Really annoys me.
