Britains Got Talent The Final

So I blogged all week about Britains Got Talent and got bored by the time the final was on so instead of me babbling on about who should have won and what I thought of all the acts here's a video link to my favourite act in the final, win or lose (he didn't win - that gives you a clue). For a bit of fun see if you can guess who it is before you click through...

Britains Got Talent Part 5 #fb

Tonight's show was a good one. Hula hooping led to crazy Irish dancing led to squealing dog (more later) led to liked rapping kids led to good dancer led to great singer led to great dancer led to Simon standing and clapping a sqealing dog act and trying his best to get the squealing dog to the final. Sort it out Simon, WTF do you think you were playing at. Thank God justice prevailed and the correct act got through to the final on the judges vote.

Razzie won straight through and "phew" for that otherwise the squealing dog may have made it to the final. Raz man deserved it. One of the best singing voices I've ever heard will also be in the final (sorry, forgetting names again), and I hope he has a chance of winning.

Amanda hit the nail on the head and confirmed what I've been saying all along, although she wasn't aware she'd done it. She said (to the squealing dog act) "I love you so much... you are so cute" (or something similar to that). Exactly! You are so cute... the single, one word that never got used but should have was "talent". You are so cute (not talented)! Don't put people or animals through because they are cute or they have a "nice" story - put them through because they are talented. The show is called Britains Got Talent after all!!!

On another note, and you may have heard in the news that Ronan (the 12 year old with lots of talent) was managed and moulded by Simon Cowell for the last 2 years. Both Simon and Ronan said it was ridiculous, and for once I believe Mr Cowell. Good luck to Ronan in tomorrows final.

Britains Got Talent Part 4 - The Results

The guy with the huge voice won. I can't remember his name (I'm not very good with names am I?), but he was a crowd favourite, and he was really good. He may even have a chance in the final.

I wish Blogger wasn't set to pick up spelling mistakes when I spell something correctly in English, and it picks it up and underlines it in red because it's spelt wrong in America. Come on Blogger, the language is English after all.

Back to the results show (part 4). Shock. Steven the (comedy) Dancer got the judges vote over the guy who sings the kids songs. I personally don't understand that - he seems to be a nice bloke, but this is about talent right? ...or have I just been confused all week?

Britains Got Talent Part 4 - Simons Announcement #fb

Simon said there were 2 brilliant dancers and questioned "why did only one get through to the final"? and so he invited Michael to tomorrows (Fridays) semi-final for a dance off with Razzi. Personally I think Simon favours Michael, but we'll see what the public think tomorrow.

On the same note, Amanda said she had so many people twittering her saying we had 2 brilliant singing acts and 2 brilliant dog acts, why couldn't we have 2 brilliant dance acts too. Wait a minute, did Amanda just say "2 brilliant dog acts"? What the fuck was she thinking. So far the dog acts we've had have been so so sooooooooooo bad, why couldn't they just put Michael through instead of this crap in the first place?!? Dog acts ARE NOT GOOD.

I said all along why did they put the dogs through when so many good acts never made it, and I was thinking about Michael all along. I may even have mentioned him in an earlier post, although I wouldn't have mentioned his name, I would have said something like "crazy body dancer" or something like that.  I hope Michael is his name - you know who I mean anyway.

Can I also just mention that to phone costs up to 51p per call and ONLY 15p from each call goes to the Royal Variety Charity. That means that Mr Cowel gets 36p from each phone call to share out however he sees fit! With the millions of phone calls they get each night that's millions of pounds going in their pockets. Let's hope next year they give a little more to charity. It wouldn't have hurt to give an extra 5p from each call to something like Cancer Research would it?

Britains Got Talent Part 4 #fb

Quick one today but I'll blog again after the results are in...

Any one of 3 acts can win tonight - Edward Reed with his grand voice and kids songs, the guy with the huge voice that did the Evanescence cover, and the chaps from Oxford Uni who did the "Jump" cover, although I think they may get knocked out in the judges decision.

Crazy night tonight. Feel sorry for the girl from Killamarsh (Sheffield), she can play piano, she looks good, and she has a nice voice, but I think the nerves got hold and like Simon said the song choice was wrong, but I was rooting for her with being a local girl. Shame, but I hope she has a good future in music.

The dogs...

Thank God that one of the judges had the nerve to buzz for the dogs. It's about time the judges got embarassed about putting such crap through when there were so many good acts that never made it. I hope they have finally learned their lesson.  Remember to tag your tweets #notothedogvote when tweeting about Britains Got Talent.

Simon still hasn't dropped his bombshell yet. Has he?

Britains Got Talent Part 3 #fb

Ok, so my fingers ached after yesterdays post so tonights will be a (much) shorter roundup on tonights performance (and results) show.

I'm not surprised that Les Gibson (the impersonator) made it straight through to the final although I think if the ballet dancer (sorry, I forgot most of the acts names tonight) had not been completely covered in dry ice (smoke) for pretty much half of his performance and the viewers could have seen more of what he was doing I think the vote may have been a little closer if not swayed his way.

The show started with the Circus of Horrors and I really like them - I think there's lots going on and they are real entertainment. Would the Queen like to see them? Maybe not.  Then there was the singer, the walker, the dog (let's just say no more about the dog). The dog! What were the judges playing at putting the dog through? OMG!?! How shit is that? Sorry, no more about the dog (tag your tweets #notothedogvote). Then came other acts (can't remember who or what. Les Gibson was brilliant like he was in his audition, and the bell ringers finished off with an pretty good performance, reflected in the public vote when in the results show they came third - even though my theory of the best act playing last has been shot to bits this year I think the fact that the bell ringers being in the last 3 goes some way to confirming my thoughts that the act to play last has some advantage with the public vote - something to do with the sub-conscious I think. Would the bell ringers have made the last 3 if they had performed earlier in the evening? Maybe not.

Congratulations to Les Gibson (you've got to love the Ant and Dec impersonations), and to the ballet dancer, and good luck in the final.
