Britain`s Got Talent

Jim the crow!!! Lol

He he Bluebelle and there was I thinking my performing dog who voluntarily spends half his day on two legs was in with a chance!

I don't watch it. But I caught the end yesterday when we switched on the TV at about 8:50, and a man was playing with a stuffed octopus. Sound was down, so no idea what that was about.

I was, however, transfixed by the display by the judges of the art and skill of the Plastic Surgeon.

Me too volver - like a row of plastic dolls.

Especially Amanda Holden.

I did not recognise Charlotte Church on the Michael Ball show- put on weight and a totally different face.

I should say - of course its everyone's own decision whether they have plastic surgery or not, it's none of my business. I found it a bit distracting that they were all sat there in a row though.

I never noticed, it wasn't distracting at all <lies>

Just saying ... the American professional singer was vg but I don't think Britain has found a new talent.

CC did look different, that's maybe what having 3 children does to you, (to me weightwise anyway!)
I thought she sang beautifully.

People are saying that the man who got up to sing after his mum brought his daughters on stage, had a microphone pinned to his chest whilst in the audience. We are being conned.

Yes and I noticed he had brought his guitar with him.
And his words to sing.

That is it! I am not watching it anymore. The last act on saturday night is a professional! Why the hell was she allowed to be on the show? Also I dont agree with little children under a certain age being on their. They get so upset if they are not picked and it sets some of them up for life thinking that they are not good enough. They cannot rationalise what is going on. That poor little lad when he fell off the scooter made my stomach churn. Did anyone ask how he was? He was plopped straight back on the scooter. No the programme will not be on in our house. That is me switching off! Did anyone else wonder what was going on with Simon Cowell’s eyes? They looked weird along with Amanda’s face! The whole programme is one big set up!

Yes one of simon's eyes looked not quite right so perhaps as a result of his accident. He also has such a shiny face.

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.

Christ on a bike, I have read it all now. So maybe this ghastly attempt at entertaining the masses should be renamed "White British Ethnics' Got Talent"

I'm signing up the cat for next week's show. Please all vote for us. Happy to share the winnings amongst those on this thread.

No not at all Gill. It used to be about ordinary folk being given a chance to shine. Now they are coming from all over the world. That's absolutely fine. However they need a new title. The World's Got Talent perhaps.

Gill I didn't mention 'white'. Lots of Brutish people aren't white.

I thought last night's show was much better, with some genuine home grown talent - especially the comedian at the end - a natural.

I don’t have any problem with people coming from anywhere if they want to, if Australia and Israel can be in the European song contest then why not !
However no one professional or semi pro should be in it and NO animals of any kind
I probably won’t watch again I can’t really stand the judges
I thought some of the acts were fairly good especially the comedian at the end the man with the octopus was ridiculous and not funny and the awful antics of Wallams in front of children makes me think of Jimmy Saville Cowell looks weedy maybe lost too much weight ? Amanda Holden is just plastic on a seat, silly lady and her laugh is like a baying donkey
It all needs a BIG overhaul

Fair enough! Sorry I was a bit unduly harsh but I really dislike the show with its cruelty and fakery. Also there is the unfortunate coincidence of most of the people in the entertainment industry that I dislike all being on one show! I did laugh at the descriptions of all the waxy faces in a row ?

I have a huge problem with Walliams in particular, failed comic actor who launched himself as a writer of children's books, many plots stolen from established authors. It is interesting what you say about him Bluebell, I too think there is a touch of Savile about him, he makes my flesh crawl and he certainly fails the "would you let him babysit your GC?" test. I think he will be outed one day.

I won't be watching again Gill. I used to enjoy it but agree with what you say.

I think it should be British people only why call it Britains got talent. As for the two Holden buzzers they are both professionals. Why even allow them on yes they are good but that's because they are professional this is meant to be a show to find new talent these people already have a career and are basically snatching that away from the ones who may never have a career because they can't get the leg up.

That's a bit of a leap.
I don't particularly like him and don't find his brand of humour funny these days.
Although I thought he and Matt Lucy's were brilliant together in Little Britain and Come Fly With Me. (Probably not a popular ooinion)
but to accusse someone of being a paedophile wirh no evidence is very wrong.
