Australia’s Got Talent, and the public vote winner from tonight is…
Updated: Nine insists press footage of Monday's semi-final which announces the winner of Sunday's public vote is no conspiracy.

Each week 2 acts in Australia’s Got Talent semi-finals graduate to the Grand Final -one being the judge’s choice, the other as the viewer’s choice after phone voting.
So it’s more than a little confusing that a press preview for Monday night’s episode reveals the act that wins the public vote from tonight’s episode. A vote that is yet to open.
The footage includes Dave Hughes announcing the winning act in voice over, with matching footage of the jubilant act.
A Nine spokesperson said the vision was a temporary place holder with correct vision yet to be delivered on Monday afternoon.
Sometimes in similar situations a press preview will include a title card indicating where footage is to be inserted.
Nine assures footage of jubilant acts was shot with all semi-finalists.
UPDATED: Heavy Metal Kid guitarist Callum has proceeded to the Grand Final. Not the same act that was incorporated in the Nine preview. Conspiracy theory over….

Is this where it morphs from a “talent” contest to a popularity contest?
I watched the encore on Saturday night for the first time this series, and was amazed at the lack of talent for a Semi-final. The quality of talent when Seven had the show was 500% better than Nines reincarnation. And Dave Hughes hosting is woeful.
Will anybody be left to watch AGT whether it was rigged or not? The promos show audition level acts not finals quality.
I don’t watch this but have seen it referred to as Australia’s Got no Talent recently….perhaps they needed to generate some controversy !
