Holden said, “Farming touches every single person in this country,” according to the Farmer’s Guardian. Meanwhile, KSI prompted, “The whole of the UK knows how important each and every one of you is. That was one of the best choir acts I have ever heard in my life.” Moreover, Simon Cowell also applauded the group after their performance. “I actually really liked the song. I love what you stand for. It might be a bit annoying to see Jeremy Clarkson’s smug face is the only downside. Well done,” he said.
