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.

Britains Got Talent Part 2 - The Results
New Bounce, or what ever they're called (I forget already, oops) won, as I predicted. The runners up were the 2 acts that I said I would like to see win through to the final. When Jean Martyn and the magicians came in front of the judges it was obvious they would vote Jean through but well done for the magicians (I keep calling them the magicians because I can't remember their names right now) putting magic where it belongs and giving Mr Cowel something to think about. Anyway, that's it for tonight.
Until tomorrow.
Until tomorrow.
Britains Got Talent Part 2 #fb
I'm going to try and write as I watch this evening. The second act, Enchanted has just finished so here goes...
2 and a Half Men
They were ok, lots of energy, no buzzes, and they mixed the old with the new. A few flips, a bit more dancing, and a bit of slap-stick comedy thrown in. Amanda said they had a chance. I thought they were ok. Only ok. A little boring if anything.
Enchanted
They had a singer that looked like Julian Clarey. They wore Lion King type outfits, swung from the ceiling, bounced and flipped a little, but they had about 20 people doing what about 3 people could have done better. I can see why they call themselves Enchanted, but for me, they didn't enchant - I'm not a fan of the theater and this was a low-rate wanna-be theater performance. Pretty boring and 2 buzzes to boot. Simon Cowel got it right when he said he didn't get it. I didn't get it.
True to form I think the better of the acts will play later on and the best act, and the act Mr Cowel wants in the final will play last. Herbie Armstrong is just about to play. I like him, he reminds me of a solo singer/guitarist from the 60's or 70's. Let's see if I'm right...
Herbie Armstrong
He's doing a cover of Mandy in his own style but I think he's a bit off key. Let's see what the judges have to say. No buzzes. The crowd liked it. Comedian made a joke. Amanda kind of liked his version of it. Simon said he had a nice tone to his voice but said it was the wrong song choice (and mentioned his age, 60, but said he was a cool guy). The Knight Rider said he loved every minute of it - bless him. I like him and I would love to go and have a whiskey with him and talk stories of old gigs and nights out, but I think he was a little off tonight as a performer. Still, at the age of 60 he's doing pretty well.
Act 4 - Lorna Bliss (Brittany tribute act)
She got 3 no's in the auditions yet she's in the semi-finals. Got to be the body! Came out with a snake and lots of skin showing. Good start. She has got a look of Ms Spears about her. Simon and Michael have just buzzed - she's obviously not showing enough skin. Simon just buzzed. The Hoff said it was a step backwards and she didn't shock enough. Michael made a joke. Amanda said it was better than her audition - she obviously had more clothes on. Simon said the performance was as limp as her python. Lorna said she was disappointed at her performance and she held back too much. I agree, I thought she was a pretty good impersonator but I agree with the male judges, I think she should have gone more racy, more daring, and shocked. Shame. At least I don't have to visit the bathroom!
Next up - New Bounce (the Jackson Four)
I'm quite shocked, I really didn't want to like them, and even though they did sing a cover they impressed, loads. I think they sang their hearts out and looked the part too. Simon just agreed with me - I should be a judge! He said they were the first act he'd seen in 2 days that are going to be successful in their own right, and I agree. Miles better than their audition. They may even win straight through to the final tonight which will mess up Simons plans to play the best act last, but I would bet money that the act that performs last now wins through in second place! New Bounce, a name to look out for.
Jean Martyn
59 year old boogie woogie queen Jean really knows how to play piano. Very Jerry Lee Lewis without the vocals and on-fire piano. Very working mans club but very entertaining. Nice act. No buzzes. Let's see what the judges have to say... David loves her. Michael loves her. Like Victoria Wood on acid said Amanda. Simon said he shouldn't like it but he does like it.
Time for a break.
Next up a magic act. David and Karen. I love magic. Ask my friends.
It's an escape act. It wasn't bad. It was a quick swap act where the magician ended up in the locked water tank etc etc... I've seen it all before but it was well done. Simon said he liked it, and he hates magic! He said he wasn't mental about it but it worked. I did really like it and because I do like my magic so much and watch a lot of it, I guess that's why I say I've seen it all before, but to a lot of people I bet this was a really good illusion.
Another break...
I really wanted to mention about the shit adverts that may have been on in the break (think Halifax, Go Compare, Confused.com), but there weren't any!
Up and Over It. I'm looking forward to this one.
Simon buzzed, he didn't like it. This had the added element of tap. Very original act and I kind of liked it, but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Shame.
That's it, and I think tonight, or this year at least I am wrong about the order of acts. Maybe we should wait and see if my theory comes back in to its own tomorrow night, but tonight I don't think the last act, Up and Over It will be making the final. Earlier I said I would bet money that the last act to perform will come second next to New Bounce. I would like to withdraw that comment. Oops.
I think the winners tonight will be the Jackson Four. Sorry, New Bounce. Very impressive. No dog acts tonight. Phew! I'd like to see Jean Martyn or the magicians go through as well.

Thank God the Dog Didn't Win Through ... #fb
I'll be quick because Hawaii Five-0 just started and I haven't seen it this week yet ...
A few years ago I blogged about Britains Got Talent and thought I'd give it another crack this time around.
I missed the actual semi-final (the first this week) but I got to see the results show and it was no surprise that Ronan Park won straight through to the final as he is widely tipped to win the whole competition. I don't know where he performed tonight (what order he sang), but I'd bet good money on him being the last act to perform because that's how Simon Cowell does things - the act he thinks will get more viewers and the act he wants to win through to the final performs last, because that gives them the advantage with the public vote. If you don't believe me, watch the show this week - the act that wins will most probably play last. Every night!
2nd and 3rd places, the pianist and the bmx dude split the judges vote, and even though they were both good at what they did, neither of them were the best at what they do. I've seen many great pianists better than the guy that eventually won 2nd place on the public vote, and I've seen many great bmx freestylers (is that what you call them?)... ok, I've seen many great bmx dudes. At least they took part and between them they stopped the dog getting through though. Thank God.

It's Britain's Got Talent Time Again!
...and in the tradition we all got used to last time - the judges favourite and the act the producers wanted to win through to the final performed last. You might remember last year when I correctly predicted every week that the last performing act would win through to the final, and damn, it looks like it's going to happen again. Why can't the producers just let the public decide who they want in the final? Ok, so the lady from Scotland with the big voice performed last... do I really need to say any more? I do have to say that the violinist deserves some sort of career similar to Vanessa Mai because she really was talented and the dance act at the beginning deserved a standing applause but will I write every day about the show again?... maybe, but maybe not, because it looks like it's going to be very predictable again! Britain has got talent though - you may remember a band several years ago called Meringue Opinion?

Britains Got Talent - The Live Final
What an amazing night of talent, and what a shock result. No Escala and no Faryl Smith even in the top 3 places. Third spot went to Andrew Johnston, second to the much loved Signature and the winner of Britains Got Talent 2008 was George Sampson who pulled off an amazing, flawless repeat of his semi-final performance "Singing in the Rain".
I was wrong about the predicted order of the performances in the final but was still shocked not to see Escala or Faryl in the winning positions. It was an all inspiring showdown with everyone performing like their life depended on the outcome of tonights result and I take nothing away from all of the nights performances (apart from the Blue Peter dog who should never have been in the final anyway) as they are all future stars and I'm sure you'll see each and every one of them making a success of their acts for years to come.
Do you think you have what it takes to make it to the top of Britains Got Talent 2009? If so you need to visit here for more information. Maybe I'll be writing about you this time next year?

Britains Got Talent Rant No.5
5 out of 5 and the performance order is officially a fix. I know it makes for a better show if the best act performs last but it is unfair on the acts that peform earlier in the evening. Having said that, I was right all along and I can tap myself on the back - it was a fix!
Anyway, I'm not going to dwell on another ITV fixing scandal any longer, I just hope the money from the phone calls really is going to charity, and I'm going to talk about my thoughts about the show as a whole.
Escala won through to the final, and why not, they were the best act of the night and indeed the best act of the week but Piers got it wrong when he said that bookies all around the country had ripped up the odds for the show because Escala had just become red hot favourites, in fact, the aren't even the favourites, Faryl Smith is. The sexy four piece are very close second favourites and in my opinion do deserve to win and I really hope they do but I'm just thinking Faryl might get the sympathy vote too so if you are going to place a bet then she is probably your best chance of winning. Nemesis got the second spot in the final and they aren't bad but there are going to be better acts in the final so I think they may struggle to have the same impact they have had on the public so far.
I actually watched this show as a replay because I was losing at poker last night so the final is actually tonight, so best of luck to every act in the final but I hope it's going to be Escala that represent Britain all around the world, and not a jumping dog.

Britains Got Talent Rant No.4
Once again the outcome of tonights show was totally predictable...
...and once again the judges favourite performed last, and once again the act that performed last won. Faryl Smith deserved to win because she really does have star quality, and I predict due to certain things Simon Cowell has hinted that she is going to win the live final. She's perfect for the Royal Variety Show and the judges all but want her to win anyway so I also predict that as per every show so far that she will perform last in the live final - you heard it here first!
Second place went to Andrew Muir and so it should have, he has a quality voice and I can see him as a solo artist having several top performing singles in the near future.
Let's see if the act that plays last tomorrow night wins and makes it a predictable 5 out of 5?

Britains Got Talent Rant No.3
As I had earlier predicted the act playing last on the night would be the judges favourite and also the act winning an automatic place in the final. George Sampson did a pretty good dance (in the rain) and performing last won through to the final - now that's a surprise! He actually won through with the biggest vote of the series so far so good on him.
The judges surprised me this week by choosing Strike (the martial arts dancers) over Charlie (the young singer) so things might be looking up.
Fingers crossed.

Britains Got Talent Rant No.2
After the second night of so called talent a few things have come to light. The act that the tv bosses (namely Simon Cowell) want to go through to the final and probably the most talented act of the evening is on last - this means it's more memorable and will no doubt get more votes. It happened on night 1 with the Jackson throwbacks and now it's happened again on night 2 with the Aled Jones throwback, Andrew Johnston, who is afterall quite talented and although he played the bullying card he still deserved to go through on his talent alone (this does not mean that I condone bullying, I just believe its a talent show and therefore its talent that should win through).
The results were very predictable again with the Cheeky Monkeys and Flava making it to the play-off and the Cheeky Monkeys probably being chosen to go through on likeability (there so cute arrrggghhhh), although for 9 year olds they are pretty good.
Anyway, I'm yet to see any real stand-out talent. Bring it on...

Britains Got Talent Rant No.1
I've just finished watching Britains Got Talent on Monday nights first live semi-final, and I'm pretty sure we all agree on the winners "Signature" getting through to the final but why on earth have such talented judges put through what can only be known as "a jumping dog and her owner"!!! This act would best be watched on Blue Peter and if this is the best talent Britain has to offer then I'm off to America (or anywhere else) just to escape the sheer embarrassment.
Did you see Simons face when the belly dancing "Sophie Mai" came on the stage - it was a true picture and in my opinion she should have won the second vote to the final.
No more dogs please (unless it's Crufts or Blue Peter)!
