I loved the last act, the girl who got the golden buzzer, but did anyone else get the feeling that it was all pre-arranged? She is more or less a professional singer.

Well of course it was all pre arranged that’s why I didn’t take to that act as good as she was She’s a pro and shouldn’t be on there at all however it was a pretty good show I had gone right off BGT and wasn’t going to watch but there were some great acts

Yes, she was good, but there was no wow factor in tonight's show - not for me anyway. And Amanda's had some work done on her face - lips, I think

Joseanne Sat 16-Apr-22 21:49:22

The ventriloquist boy was my favourite, but not outstanding.
I love that Showman song, but it did seem a set up.
What was that weird ghost act?

Ragtime Sun 17-Apr-22 07:08:56

I used to love but but last night's show was beyond dire..and yes the last act? All pre arranged

snowberryZ Sun 17-Apr-22 07:24:51

Is this show still still going?shock
I havent seen it for, must be 5 years.

Ragtime Sun 17-Apr-22 07:39:37

You have missed nothing!

snowberryZ Sun 17-Apr-22 07:49:00

I went off it when that little girl burst into tears on stage. I think she was singing Eidelweiss.
The judges were full of faux concern but you could tell they were living the drama and probably thought it would boost the ratings.
Or could that have been X Factor?
Either way. I hate the cruelty of these shows and they way they make fun of people. Especially people with special needs.

The grandma bringing on the 2 little girls to get their daddy to sing was dreadful as was the resulting song! And I am usually the first one to get emotional over things. No.. No.. No.. it was all wrong!! hmm

Serendipity22 Sun 17-Apr-22 08:18:42

Thought the whole point of BGT was to allow Joe Public a stab at stardom !!

Kim19 Sun 17-Apr-22 09:16:29

Certainly didn't do it for me. Boring. And that last act was the biggest set-up ever.

Kate1949 Sun 17-Apr-22 09:42:03

I agree Hellogirl. I used to enjoy it but don't think I'll watch again. The early heats used to have some really awful performers which gave us all a bit if a laugh. There weren't many last night. I suppose we're not allowed to laugh at people now. Also too many acts who weren't British so it's not really Britain's Got Talent.

Hellogirl1 Sun 17-Apr-22 09:45:05

I don`t see why they`re still allowed to call it BRITAIN`S Got Talent.

Grandmadinosaur Sun 17-Apr-22 09:46:14

My thoughts too Hellogirl

henetha Sun 17-Apr-22 11:03:02

I enjoyed the whole thing, except that there was a feeling of 'set up' about the last act, great though she was.

nanna8 Sun 17-Apr-22 11:05:14

Is that ghastly Simon man still on it ?

GrannyGravy13 Sun 17-Apr-22 11:08:14

I am still to be convinced that BGT is the right showcase for an American professional singer who sung one of the biggest hits, and no doubt got paid a great deal of $$, in a massive film like The Greatest Showman, which has been heard and seen by millions worldwide.

Being awarded the Golden Buzzer deprives an up and coming artist, sorry but in my opinion it’s just plain wrong.

JaneJudge Sun 17-Apr-22 11:11:32

I quite enjoyed it but it was spoilt by my husband moaning all the way through that it was set up grin

henetha Sun 17-Apr-22 11:16:17

I just checked my Greatest Showman CD and she (Loren Allred) is credited on there as being the singer of "Never Enough". So, yes, she is a professional singer, and it makes it definitely wrong for her to appear on BGT.
What a pity they have to do this. I otherwise enjoy the show but don't enjoy being duped.

Joseanne Sun 17-Apr-22 11:51:13

Is it only me, or did one else question that dangerous act with the kids on the scooters? That little boy looked as though he had been knocked out.

joannapiano Sun 17-Apr-22 13:59:49

It’s starting to be a children’s talent show. And they’re always put through to the next round. It should be over 16’s only. It was mentioned in the newspapers on Saturday that the American singer who got the Golden Buzzer, was a professional. I loved the robot squirting water.

DanniRae Mon 18-Apr-22 08:14:21

I'm going to record it next Saturday so I can fast forward all the ads and any nonsense acts that I don't want to watch .... not sure this will leave me much to watch tbh! shock

lemsip Mon 18-Apr-22 08:21:30

a dire show which i only watched half of then turned channel. David Walliams is disgraceful...... ripping his shirt off
and dancing with an old lady...on stage..... ..full of himself like john barrymore in my opinion!
course it's all staged and edited before we see it. It's a 'Show' after all

Joseanne Mon 18-Apr-22 08:44:59

I only watch it for the dog acts. That border collie was amazing, so quick!
The rest is rubbish.

BlueBelle Mon 18-Apr-22 09:27:24

I am switching off because of the dog acts I think it’s horrendous we ban circuses but allow this awful over training to be cheered and clapped That poor dog ‘in shoes’ I only saw a bit of the act so no idea what that was all about and I know you ll say the dog loved it but it obviously knows nothing else

A dog is a dog and should never be performing for our
entertainment How far is it from dancing bears ? Or horses no longer allowed to prance around a circus ring or elephants standing on their back legs It’s all cruel and outdated (or should be outdated)

Totally agree lemsip David Wallams a childrens author is a disgrace
Won’t watch any more I thought it might have improved
