I like the first audition when all the audience stood up and that was really good; and the semi-finals when I was singing that the audience was clapping; but unfortunately the judges didn’t like it.
“I met Simon Cowell after and they said you're brilliant Charie but I didn’t like the song. Yeah I really had good times in "Britain’s Got Talent."Charlie also denied reports that he didn’t get the chance to win the contest because of racial discrimination. “No, it’s not true,” he said.
