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 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.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)!
