Amanda Holden is not talented enough to judge singers, she cannot sing herself and so cannot legitimately comment on the talent level (or not) of any contestants. She can only comment as a lay person.

I personally think that Amanda’s decision is right.
i think, as long as she has an acceptable reason for that, whatever she does is correct/acceptable.
BECAUSE
theres rumors that Jamie Pugh is fake,
SO
she thought that Jamie wasnt sincere and genuine
THUS
she thought that Jamie shouldnt have qualified for the semi, and so she axed him

look, if I know that someone is fake, i will also do the same as Amanda did.

dont judge her like that! she may be harsh sometimes, but do try to understand her.

Jamie Pugh was fantastic during his audition but unfortunately didn’t perform as well during the semi-final. But then again neither did Susan Boyle. I do, however, feel that Amanda Holden was biased and hypocritical. Holden at the end of Boyle’s presentation said “I was biting all my acrylic nails off” and to Pugh said you are “there to entertain me and I was uncomfortable and nervous”. Surely her comment to Boyle also signals her nervousness; perhaps she buzzed Pugh because she had no more acrylic nails to bite off! I trust Pugh will remember the comment that he made at the end of his audition, that he felt “complete” and use that feeling of completeness to keep singing, to push through the mental barrier, and to persist even more with his dream. Good luck Jamie Pugh!

I agree with all of the above. I’m really sorry he did not get through, but the song choice did not do him any favours. I really hope now that he does have hypnosis and tries again. There’s nothing wrong with him applying to BGT next year – George Samson won it second time around! I hope if he does that Amanda Holden is not one of the judges. She has assassinated his character in the press and then, knowing how nervous he was, buzzed him in the middle of his performance. Even Simon was shocked at that. I hope that the American audience will now see her for what she is……………I’m a big believer in what goes around comes around, so she may have thought it clever the jeopardise Jamie’s chances when in fact she may have damaged her own at the same time!

Amanda is a bitch for buzzing him. Wrong song choice for him tho. I hope he makes a CD

He is truly talented and I absolutely loved his audition! I do, however, believe a different song would have made the act 100x better.

Amanda was publicising her American career in the News of the World and decided to use Jamie’s performance as a lever to get more publicity in the States. Jamie’s performance wasn’t his best last night but he remained dignified throughout and with the right support and encouragement this man will go far.

I feel so sad for Jamie. What a singer, tho’ unfortunately the wrong song song to show of his fantastic voice. It happens to the best. I’ve heard Katherine Jenkins voice waver in concert when she went out of her comfort zone.
The dream is not over. Just have to put it down to experience, and use it to your benefit.
I look forward to hearing that voice again in public on the big screen.
Pengam.Blackwood has a heroic talent, assist him in nuturing back to where it belongs.

I am so sad for dear Jamie. he was such a genuine guy and clearly has a lovely voice. I just hope he gets a chance to sing again in public. The dream is not over.

Jamie’s voice gave me goosebumps at the first audition

I hoped for him to be in the final,Sadly the song choice for me did him no favours.
He does have a grand voice and that needs to be heard.
Someone will take him on i’m sure.
