Why bgt egg throwing

At least one toss must have hit its mark, because Cowell removed his jacket after the incident. Cowell tweeted on Sunday : "I don't think eggs should be allowed on talent shows. Holt is not the first person to throw something at Cowell. When he was a judge on "American Idol," he panned and snickered throughout Jonathan Rey's audition for the third season.

A post shared by Natalie Holt natsholt. However, I am not sorry for pelting Simon Cowell with eggs. I hoped it would come across as a British panto-style jape, which might also generate some more serious debate.

Richard and Adam were definitely not forgiving. They blamed Natalie for destroying their dream and costing them the win. They finished the competition in third place.

In her essay in The Guardian, Natalie said she was already facing some consequences to her actions. She did have some work cancelled and also felt the press made her out to be this wild unhinged woman. But her parents and her boyfriend still stood by her. Simon did not press charges so Natalie did not face any legal action. Her band Raven Quartet were disappointed in her actions.

The group disbanded in She actually went on to win the Ivor Novello Award in She was also nominated for an Emmy award in as she has continued to pursue music. We want to hear from you guys. Would you be bold enough like Natalie Holt to throw eggs at Simon Cowell on live television?

Her work has been featured at The Blast. When she isn't binge-watching reality television shows or binge-eating fried food, she loves hanging out with her friends and family and petting puppies.

What do you think? My actions were intended as a non-violent, egg-based protest because I think Cowell has too much power and influence in the entertainment industry. I also just wanted to make him look a bit silly. I hoped it would come across as a British panto-style jape, which might also generate some more serious debate.

I have received many messages of support from well-known musicians who I've worked with in the past, who've contacted me privately, but who are unwilling to express their support publicly. Everyone is scared of standing up to people like Cowell.

I don't dislike him personally; I just don't like what he represents. Reality TV talent shows are not the way to discover the next Beatles, or to nurture talented musicians and entertainers. The people who seem to benefit most from talent shows are the judges. The consequences of my prank have already turned out to be more serious than I had anticipated.
