Dressed in flashy boots and sporting a \u201cHollywood smile,\u201d he charmed David Walliams immediately, though Simon Cowell remained skeptical from the start. Christian explained that he had worked hard on his image and was ready to change his life forever, but no one was prepared for the actual vocal performance that was about to follow.<span id=\"more-767\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As soon as Christian began his high-energy rendition of \u201cSex Bomb,\u201d the atmosphere in the theater turned to chaos. While his confidence was undeniable, his singing was widely considered off-key, leading Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, and Amanda Holden to all press their red buzzers in an attempt to stop the act. Despite the rejection from three out of the four judges, David Walliams was clearly entertained by the sheer absurdity and joy of the performance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"b-r b-r--middle_content\"><\/div>\n<p>In a move that stunned the audience and left Simon Cowell visibly angry, David Walliams stood up and pressed his Golden Buzzer, sending Christian directly through to the live semi-finals. Simon described the act as \u201cappalling,\u201d but David defended his choice, arguing that the show is about personality as well as talent. This remains one of the most controversial moments in the show\u2019s history, proving that on Britain\u2019s Got Talent, anything can happen if you find the right supporter.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"David Walliams's Golden Buzzer act Christian Spridon SEX BOMB | Britain's Got Talent 2014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OKVeKFZGxHI?feature=oembed\" width=\"730\" height=\"411\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-original-w=\"730\" data-original-h=\"411\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"b-r b-r--after_content\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"rating-box\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christian Spridon, a 35-year-old waiter from London, walked onto the Britain\u2019s Got Talent stage with a dream of becoming a global superstar like Lady Gaga or Beyonc\u00e9.
