BGT’s Simon Cowell takes a hilarious swipe at Alesha Dixon after a DOG performs one of her songs
“It’s better than the original!” Britain’s Got Talent’s Simon Cowell hilariously lashes out at Alesha Dixon after a DOG sings one of her songs – but viewers weren’t impressed
Simon Cowell made a hilarious swipe at Alesha Dixon on Saturday’s Britain’s Got Talent when he declared that a dog performing one of her songs was “better than the original.”
In the final round of auditions, hopefuls tried to impress Simon, Alesha, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli in hopes of earning a place in the live semi-final rounds.
But when dog owner Michelle and her pet dog Mouse took the stage with a performance of Alesha’s 2008 song Breathe Slow, Simon couldn’t help but examine her singing skills.
Simon gave his verdict on Mouse’s audition, saying, ‘When I heard the song I thought it couldn’t get any better, but actually it’s better than the original!
“Normally I don’t say this, I mean it!”
Cheeky! Simon Cowell made a hilarious swipe at Alesha Dixon on Saturday’s Britain’s Got Talent when he declared that a dog performing one of her songs was ‘better than the original’
Oh dear! When dog owner Michelle and her pet dog Mouse took the stage to perform Alesha’s 2008 song Breathe Slow, Simon couldn’t help but examine her singing skills.
Fortunately, Alesha thought it was all hilarious and burst out laughing when she heard the dog’s song choice.
Meanwhile, Amanda suggested the two could do a duet, while presenter Ant McPartlin suggested the dog’s howling was a “cry for help.”
But despite the judges seeing the funny side of the act, viewers at home disagreed and soon took to Twitter to share their disappointment at seeing a dog “howling into a microphone.”
“Who’s going to pay to see a dog howl. It’s a NO from me,” one viewer tweeted.
While a second shared, “Just because it’s a dog and cute doesn’t mean it’s good.”
“Why do they clap a howling dog into a microphone?” asked a third spectator.
“What was the point of that?” asked an unimpressed fourth person.
With one more addition: ‘Do people really think their own dogs can sing, seriously nooooooooooooo.’
