BGT slammed as 'predictable' after Amanda Holden decision
- On Saturday, March 21, 2026, the Hawkstone Farmers' Choir earned a Golden Buzzer from judge Amanda Holden during Britain's Got Talent, sending the 32-member collective directly to the live semi-finals.
- Television presenter Jeremy Clarkson formed the group in May 2025 to promote his Hawkstone beer brand, but the project evolved into a supportive community addressing the isolation farmers face in rural work.
- Performing Elbow's anthem 'One Day Like This' at the Birmingham Hippodrome, the 32-member collective moved a live audience of 1,500 people who described the experience as 'surreal' and 'electric.'
- Securing their place in the semi-finals, the singers intend to donate the £250,000 prize to farming-related mental health charities if they win the competition.
- Viewers on X were split, with some calling the Golden Buzzer choice 'predictable,' while supporters praised the act as 'genuinely deserved.' Critics argued choir acts have become stereotypical for the award.
