Bruno told him: “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.”
Those watching at home were not impressed with his curt comment and took to social media to discuss it.
