what do you think???
I'm of the same opinion really.

If children are to enter these shows they need to be prepared for disappointment.

I felt sorry for Simon tonight, having to make that decision but I think the right decision was made.

It would not be fair to discard other acts purely out of not wanting to upset a child.

If children get through it should be on merit and not because the judges don't want to upset them.
