While I really congratulate Hollie Steel for successfully completing her song on the second attempt I feel that it was totally wrong, and unfair on all the other contestants, that she was chosen over Greg Pritchard to go through to the final tomorrow night. Had any other performer foundered during their act they would have been buzzed without hesitation.
The judges re-wrote the rule book of any talent contest - you should be judged on your performance on a professional basis. Greg Pritchard got his performance right the first time - Hollie did well on her second attempt in a squeaky-voiced way, but it was not a showstopping performance and it should not have qualified her to win over another contestant who got it right the first time. Let’s say to hell with it and admit Greg Pritchard to the final tomorrow night anyway!
So, if someone stuffs up tomorrow night do they also get a second chance…?
Like I said, well done to Hollie - but the result tonight is not a fair one by a long shot.
