BRITAIN'S Got Talent is embroiled in yet another 'fix' row ahead of the final later this month.
Singer Mickey Callisto appeared on the show over the weekend after previously crooning a Queen song in his audition.
Performing yet another song by Queen for the live semi-finals, Mickey revealed that he was not allowed to sing his own song despite asking producers.
Mickey later hit out and fumed over why he was forced to perform another similar song and not his own original tune.
After he failed to make it through to the live finals, Mickey took to his social media to have a chat with his fans.
Getting candid, Mickey didn't hold back in the slightest.
"I wanted to sing my own song in the semi final," he said in a video on his Instagram account.
"I said to the producers for weeks that I wanted to sing it.
"Because, if you've been at my own show before with Mickey Callisto, you'll see that I get the exact same response in the exact same level performance.
"But unfortunately, that wasn't the case tonight, and it was Queen" he added.
Meanwhile, in the caption, he wrote: "I wanted to sing my own song supernova about inspiring people and stopping at nothing to achieve your dreams but that wasn’t to be.
"But if there is a wildcard again this year for the final and I get it then I’ll push for it but if it is to be another queen song, like I said there’s only one song for the final."
Commenting on Mickey's video, one person said: "Well done for speaking out. You highlighted the production interference and it showed on the other acts."
Another added: "I guessed that would happen, so unfair that they manipulate what you can sing. You should have had the golden buzzer first off.
That aside you were the best singer by far, your passion shines through. Go and show Cowell what he has missed out on."
Reacting to his Saturday night performance on X at the time, one person said: "They should have allowed Mickey to sing his own song. I think he smashed it anyway! Amazing voice!"
Another added: "I don’t normally comment on BGT but producers not letting Mickey Callisto sing his preferred song choice, feels like unfair manipulation."
While a third wrote: "Mickey was definitely set up by being made to sing a Queen song."
A fourth then said: "Would’ve preferred to have heard Mickey sing his own song, he’s more like a Freddie Mercury tribute act, need to see if he would be versatile as a singer, but other than that, he didn’t seem to happy with the comments either!"
And a fifth added: "You have orchestrated so many outcomes to come your way Simon, I’m not letting you do that again.
"Download Supernova, the song Mickey SHOULD’VE SUNG. Not all winners grab the gold. Keep it up Mickey!"
On the night after his performance, judge Simon Cowell said to Mickey: "You are a really, really good Freddie Mercury tribute act and, for that, it was really, really good."
Defending his song choice on stage, Mickey explained how he wanted "to sing his own song" and revealed how he was not allowed.
