Britain’s Got Talent fans fuming as they noticed a problem with Alesha Dixon’s semi-final performance – the Mis-Teeq star took to the stage to perform her new song.
Britain’s Got Talent viewers were fuming after spotting a huge problem during Alesha Dixon’s semi-final showstopper.
The beloved judge dazzled the audience with a medley of her greatest hits during the show on Friday, 31 May, taking us back to her Mis-Teeq days and then dropping her latest single, Ransom.
As Alesha stepped into the spotlight, viewers were quick to jump on social media to comment, with many pointing out the same detail about her act.
Alesha, who took a brief hiatus from the music world, opened up about her return, saying: “I think that the beauty of being at this point in my life, the age that I’m at, with the experience I’ve had, and also being an independent artist, I’ve got a bit more of a relaxed attitude about it.”
But eagle-eyed fans didn’t miss a beat, spotting something amiss with her performance.
One observant Twitter user remarked: “And for my next trick…. The ‘LIVE’ sign has reappeared. I love how Alesha is missing from the judges panel even though she pre-recorded her act before the show began this evening,” while another chimed in with a chuckle: “AS IF THEY MADE ALESHA LEAVE TO PRETEND IT WAS LIVE LMAO. Also look the LIVE logo is back. #britainsgottalent.”
One viewer chimed in: “Why are they still pretending that alesha’s performance was live #bgt #britainsgottalent,” while another commented: “So obviously Aleshas performance was pre-recorded. And now she’s just hanging off stage while they talk to the judges, like it was live.”

In a candid chat with Rolling Stone, Alesha – who confused fans with her choice of outfit for Thurday’s BGT semi-final confessed that the most crucial part of her return to music was the freedom to be herself and release what she wants without being tied to a record label.
“I want to be back as Alesha Dixon the artist. I’ve been recording throughout the years, but hadn’t felt quite ready to release anything for a multitude of reasons. One of them being the fact that I’m an independent artist now and it’s very expensive to put out music, and the industry is very tricky. The business aspect of it is what has put me off going down that road again,” she revealed.
Alesha further emphasised that she didn’t have the luxury of time to “play the music industry games” and wasn’t concerned about her chart position, but simply wanted her music to connect with both herself and her audience.
