Almost immediately after the result was revealed, thousands of viewers flooded social media claiming that fan-favorite singer\u00a0Matty Juniosa<\/strong>\u00a0should have won.<\/p>\n

The Filipino vocalist had become one of the breakout stars of the season after earning not one but\u00a0two Golden Buzzers<\/strong>, first from Simon Cowell for his explosive rendition of\u00a0Purple Rain<\/em>\u00a0and later from Amanda Holden following a show-stopping performance of\u00a0Dream On<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Posts declaring\u00a0\u201cMatty was robbed\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0began spreading across X, Facebook, TikTok, and fan forums within minutes of the final result.<\/p>\n

Some viewers argued that no contestant generated more buzz throughout the season, while others questioned how one of the competition\u2019s most talked-about performers failed to reach the final podium.<\/p>\n

Their win marked a historic milestone for the show.<\/p>\n

Yet not everyone was convinced.<\/p>\n

While some praised the public for rewarding a group that represented ordinary working people, others argued that the final outcome favored sentiment over talent.<\/p>\n

Several viewers also pointed to the season\u2019s strongest vocal performances, insisting acts such as Matty Juniosa deserved greater recognition.<\/p>\n
