Amanda Holden SMASHES First Live Golden Buzzer on BGT 2025 Semifinals — The Crowd Went WILD!
History was made on Britain’s Got Talent 2025 as Amanda Holden delivered a jaw-dropping moment during the first live semifinal. For the first time ever, a judge hit the Golden Buzzer during a live show — and the audience was not ready for what happened next.
Amanda’s buzzer-smashing moment came after a sensational performance by The Blackouts, a Swiss LED dance troupe whose electrifying routine combined flawless choreography with mind-blowing visual effects. The synchronized lights, high-energy moves, and creative stage illusions had the entire audience at London’s Eventim Apollo on their feet — and screaming for the Golden Buzzer.
Amanda, visibly emotional, stood up and declared, “My heart just exploded watching you.” Without hesitation, she slammed the Golden Buzzer, sending golden confetti raining down as the dancers collapsed in tears of joy. Just like that, The Blackouts became the first finalists of BGT 2025.
Even Simon Cowell was impressed, calling it “a world-class act that could win the whole thing.”
This season introduced a major twist — each judge gets one live Golden Buzzer during the semifinals, instantly sending an act to the finale without a public vote. But not everyone was thrilled.
Fans online were quick to question Amanda’s timing, pointing out that she used her buzzer just three acts into the show. “Too early!” some fans wrote on social media. “What if something better comes later?” Others argued the move robbed later acts of a fair shot.
Still, Amanda stood by her decision, and it’s hard to argue when a performance leaves the room breathless.
The night wasn’t short on drama. 8-year-old magician Teddy Magic had to pull out last minute due to backstage issues, forcing Simon to improvise on live TV. Meanwhile, horror performer Auzzy Blood stunned the crowd with a nail-biting act, and comedian Akira Ohashi left the judges in stitches.
Amanda Holden’s buzzer moment wasn’t just dramatic — it was iconic. Whether you loved or hated the early buzzer, one thing’s for sure: The Blackouts are through to the finals, and they’re coming for the crown.
Get ready — if this was just Part 1 of the semifinals, imagine what’s still to come
