Bruno told Ace: “You took a huge, huge risk tonight, that was a very, very difficult song to do. You were clever enough to use your middle range, which is where you are strong at. You made it work for you. So you succeeded.”
When it was Simon’s turn, he said: “Bruno, you said it was a risk, what did you mean?”
Bruno started to explain that it was because it is usually a female song, but Simon interjected saying: “I don’t understand what you are saying.”
Rushing to comment, one viewer wrote on social media: "Simon absolutely SHUTTING Bruno down.”
