Simon Cowell confronted with AGT audition that divides audience and judges

Simon Cowell was left stunned in the latest episode of “America’s Got Talent” thanks to the magical moves of contestant Jannick Holste.

Simon Cowell is typically seen behind the “America’s Got Talent” judging table, not onstage as part of the acts.

Simon Cowell was once known as television's most vicious judge, with the music mogul striking fear into the heart of contestants on The X Factor, Britain's Got Talent, and Pop Idol. If there was anything not to his liking you would be hearing about it. His reputation for savage insults, damning criticisms, and blunt comments made so many waves that he was picked to judge American Idol shortly after.

One “America’s Got Talent” contestant horrified the judges on Tuesday’s show.

Drake Milligan took to the stage of “America’s Got Talent” this week, and if the name seems familiar it’s because this isn’t the first television talent show he’s been on.

This is one “America’s Got Talent” act we haven’t seen before.

Simon Cowell admitted that son Eric gave him an "earful" last week after he failed to put Amber and The Dancing Collies through to the Britain’s Got Talent 2022 final.The adorable dancing dog act returned to the hit ITV show on Sunday night as a wildcard where they impressed with an incredible routine to Grease. And during the judges' feedback, Simon, 62, hilariously admitted that his eight-year-old son Eric was not impressed when the act was eliminated last week.

Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell gave an impassioned speech after an act broke down in tears on stage during the ITV talent show final. Alesha Dixon's Golden Buzzer act Flintz and T4ylor wowed judges with an emotional rap song.

The Britain's Got Talent judges' panel has been taken over by some new stars ahead of this weekend's final – the children of the judges themselves. In an adorable snap published to Amanda Holden's Instagram page, it showed her youngest daughter, Hollie Rose Hughes, sat in Amanda's seat – with Simon Cowell's son, Eric Cowell, to her left, and Alesha Dixon's eldest daughter, Azura Ononye, to her right.

Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell apologised to a young girl during tonight's last semi-final after he made her cry.The music mogul, who is normally not afraid to give incredibly harsh critiques to artists on the show, regretted his comments on this occasion when he realised one of the young members of Matrick's Illusion had been left in tears. Simon was unimpressed by the performer's latest act, and didn't hesitate to call it "not magical enough".The group's disappearing act was dedicated to Simon, as versions of him were used on-stage in the live semi-final. At one point, a cardboard cutout of the judge was even produced in a quick move from the act.

Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell has envisioned how he would react if his son Eric was bullied, and it seems he can’t fathom the thought. On Thursday’s live show of the ITV competition, the fourth semi-final of the week, dance group Five Star Boys were the second act to take to the stage after pantomime dames Dame Nation ahead of Sunday’s final. Five Star Boys wowed the judges and public alike during their first audition, when they explained that they went on the show ‘to spread the word for boys who can dance’, while admitting that ‘it’s not always easy for us’.

Sharon D Clarke’s performance of the showstopping musical number “Lot’s Wife” in the second act of Caroline, Or Change will almost certainly be among the Broadway highlights weighed in the minds of Tony Award voters when they cast their ballots for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical. The number, and the performance, are harrowing: Clarke’s character Caroline, the Black maid in an early 1960s Southern White Jewish household, has reached a breaking point of sorts, her years of struggle and loss erupting in one exchange of words with the young Jewish boy she’s all but raised, and the words of hate and cruelty that emerge from deep recesses of characters that had long shared real moments of connection and affection have shaken Caroline to her core.

Britain’s Got Talent viewers have called out the show for reaching an “all time low” after Simon Cowell demanded that act Ranger Chris and his dancing dinosaurs win in the final. Fans immediately condemned the judge for making the statement after the act’s bizarre performance on Tuesday’s live semi final episode, which saw the ranger get up and dance in between two giant dinosaur figures onstage.
