Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

We turned the disco off at the club tonight to watch her, let's hope she goes far! It was worth it for Cowell's reaction, but I am very sceptical now, Hollie may well turn out to be related or something.:eek:

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Hollie goes to the same dance school as my grandaughter, in fact saw her the other week in the schools annual show at the Civic Theatre in Oswaldtwisle. She did a few solos there but you didn't get the full effect of her voice, she is very good and do hope she goes far:)

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I like the look on Cowell's face again, when she was just dancing he was about to hit the button, soon changed is mind when she started to sing. There's a write up in the papers this morning which says she is being bullied at school, apparently when she came of stage after her performance she said to her mother, see I'm not ugly like those girls at school say. What is it that makes kids be so nasty because some other kid has a talent they can only dream of, the green eyed yellow monster, envy is a terrible thing

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

What is it that makes people think you can even half believe what you read in a quality newspaper nevermind the fiction in tabloids...

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Get Britcliffe to sign her up to turn on accy`s Xmas lights before she signs a contract with Cowell like Diana Vickers did.............

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Sooner the papers than some of the drivel you post on here:rolleyes::D

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I read today that Susan Boyle's family think she should cut loose from BGT as she is "already a big star". They are telling her she is too big to go into the BGT semi final and are pestering for her to record a "single". Where were they before she went on the show, did they think she was so great back then? :rolleyes:

For a chav's kids entertainer he'll do great :D

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I thought she was averagely good last time with the song from Les Mis, but thought she was worse than average with her rendition of Memories from Cats.

The first note was as flat as a pancake, though she managed to recover a little.

Away from all the hype, I think she has no better a voice tham hundreds of others, performing in musical Am Dram groups throughout the country.

Her kookiness, flirting with Piers and doing Manuel from Fawlty Towers, is starting to grate too.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I didnt like her singing tonight either .. in fact i secretly hoped she wouldnt go through ... as it is the royal variety performance .. theres going to be enough singers with all the groups and singers that will be there .. i want something different .. prefer diversity .... they were brilliant .. something a bit different and wide age range .. and before anyone says owt .. that bloke with all them holes etc YUCK that was a bit too horrible ... i wouldnt want to watch that at the variety ...

anyone know whos on tomorrow?

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

The stripping Elephant Man, the tap dancing Siamese Twins, the bearded lady contortionist, and the Flaming Midgets.

:D

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I bet Mrs. Thatcher had no idea when she closed down all the long term institutions, and created Care in the Community, that it would evolve into a successful talent show, with a television crew instead of nurses.

:D

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

thinking about that did you notice the black and white minsterals dissapeared round about the same time as she got rid of the miners

is it possible they were going straight from the mines and performing as the misterals because you never saw the two in the same place at the same time and it would explain how they got their black faces so perfect :confused:

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

You mean to say next years BGT we will have the whole of accyweb to watch ...:D:D:D

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Have seen better over the last year in Am Drams Garinda .. I lie not.
Just watched her ... she really was shaky, and will need to lift herself up quite considerably to win this competition.

Didn't think that Natalie was anything special either .. not much personality came across ... wasn't relaxed, which makes an audience uncomfortable.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Watching it now.......hoping Mama Trish doesn't stick his finger in his belly button and lick it again......ewwwww. :eek:

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Well what a load of tosh in tonights line up, Cant believe another dance troop got through and I didnt think they were a patchon Diversity last night.
I think the ventrilaquist (sp) should have gone through along with Shaun Smith who was brilliant.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

we liked the puppet man :D

anyone watching britains got more talent? who are the numptys singing on there?

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I agree about the Vent ema, was very good, with his gokkle of gear and singing it too, as for the "group" on more talent, the girl singer was very nice:D

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

yeah but i got the impression that she thought she was a lot better than she actually was!

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I was gutted about Gareth not getting through... thought both his acts with throwing his voice were very good!

Good publicity for him tho :)

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Exactly Accylass, some of these 'artists' are already playing the clubs, pubs, etc., so sure will bring them a few extra bookings with this exposure (even the belly button guy .. :D). 'As seen on BGT' will be the billing.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Ema I wasn't talking about her voice:rolleyes:

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

You really couldn't make it up could you, this guy is throwing himself about the floor like a demented fool and hes on DLA, Mobility at top rate, which indicates he can only walk a few paces before it affects him, and Care at Middle rate which means he needs help daily with his personal care, me thinks this chap may have a tad of a problem with the Works and Pensions:rolleyes:

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I could enter next year and do an impression of the belly button guy kate, I have all the assets:D including fluff:D

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

You would probably make more in the way of movement too Jaysay!

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I also totally agree with what Piers said.. it's supposed to be for a "variety" show
We have X-factor for singing talent, why not give the other talented people a chance

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Brilliant to see Stavros Flatley go through to the final, tonight. That chap seems so lovely, you can see he adores his son and the act is fabulous. I hope they win. :D

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I thought the best act won, though I thought it was a strange choice of song.

The most diva-ish, campest, in a mascara running down your face, pulling your hair out, ripping your clothes, song in the history musical theatre...but he pulled it off with great aplomb.

He possesses a much more impressive vocal talent than Susan Boyle, in my opinion.

For anyone who doesn't know the original, here's the amazing Jennifer Holliday, from 1982 Broadway production.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I'm pretty sure the young lad that went through tonight is on a children's TV programme that my lad watches.

If it his him then the show is an easy way for talent agents to pedal their wares in all honesty.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Apparently he's done quite a bit of acting.

Shaheen Jafargholi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Though on this show he's being judged on his vocal talents.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

shame the ventriloquist didn't go through yesterday,,,,i really liked the singer and flower arranger,,well they were certainly different from all those dancing groups

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I think they'd have gone down better if she'd have been sat there, dressed as Britannia, and he'd made her shield out of flowers, presenting it to her at the end of their set. It would have made more sense of the connection between them.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

ooh yes,,,nice one

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Thanks for link, I was near certain it was him. I've read this morning that the ventroloquist (Gareth Oliver) is touring with Brian Conley at the moment and already has an agent.

Some of the acts are hilarious to watch but sadly at the end of the day it isn't Britain's Got Talent, it's Who In Britain Can Make Simon Cowell More Money.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Well one from last year didn't theprisoner Faral Smith refused to sign up for him:mosher:

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Simon Cowell rarely picks anything other than singers, and as you say, it is because they make him the most money. I thought all the entrants were contracted to Cowell and co if they got past the audition stages though?

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I always thought that if they got past the auditions then Cowell and the other two had first pickings.

Im shocked at the lad having done so much other stuff .

Last night I thought the young dancers should have gone through along with the ventrilliquist. Oh well how wrong can we be? lol.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Think that was Pop Idol or whatever its called

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I thought the little lad who was "Mowgli" tonight was really good. Shame he didn't go through. I do hope the old fellah who's on Disability and break dancing gets "done", if only for his utter stupidity.

It appears that Susan Boyle has been getting a bit stroppy with the Press. I didn't see all the news report but I gather our Sue has been throwing a few undeleted expletives around in a car park and the Fuzz were called. Love it! :D

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Funny how a dose of fame unsettles people. The kid who did mowgli was good, and a novelty, it escapes me how they keep saying they want 'variation' but choose the same categories to go through time and again.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

is amanda holden drunk tonight?? lol.. she is very jolly

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Oy! Dont be dissin Amanda... shes awreet! :D

errrm! I have no further comment! Back to thread, the family group were dire!

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Oh my word, poor Hollie

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

its hollie :( i am crying :( poor baby

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Come on Hollie , you can do it for accy .

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

simon said they will find the time for her to try again...


i think her messing up gives her a better chance of votes tbh..

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Poor girl had to feel sorry for her!
liked the little temper tantrum when she knew she couldnt go again

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Oh hell young Holly from Accy a just imploded hope she gets another chance

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

i thought it was more despair than temper

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

ooh i haven't watched it yet,,,sounds like a bit of fun tonight,so was Amanda a bit squiffy then :D :D

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Lets hope Hollie don't bottle it again ? What do you say too her ?

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

That little girl is one of the bravest performers ever. She's not from a stage school or an agency, like a lot of the kids on there, she's just a sweet kid with a sweet voice and her nerves got the better of her.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Hope she does well in the final .

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Dont want to sound harsh,but time to make it over 16s only.If one of the adult performers mucked it up would they be given a second chance?

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

No just like none of the others have had a parent on stage with them.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Although Holly was very brave to go on again she mustn't win. She's a lovely kid but she hasn't got what it takes to get out there and perform no matter what the stress. I really don't think she can cope with the Royal Variety Performance - and she wouldn't have Dec there to cuddle her.

It's not just the age thing, though. Susan Boyle has nearly cracked up through all the stupid publicity. To be honest, I didn't think her last performance was all that good and I think she got through, originally, on the strength of being a middle aged spinster. This week has shown that she appears to be obsessed with Piers Morgan (or Piersy Baby as she calls him). Her outburst in the hotel seems to have been down to his saying someone else was the best singer in the show.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Agreed west ender, I thought the winner tonight was the right one too, Holly would probably fair better in a couple of years, we have seen/heard a few have a bad start, they pulled it together, Holly didnt, and hopefully that was her age and inexperience. I didnt want to see another dancer win, but Aiden is going to take some beating imo, and the saxophonist will fair well, but not just for talent, but because they seem to be very humble, genuine, nice people, and I am not sure that is right either.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

If she can't do a performance without crying, surely she's not that great. Surely everyone who makes a mistake now should be allowed a 2nd chance?
will be interesting to watch her tomorrow night

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I have seen Holly performing with the dance school she attends. In fact given the show I attended the school seems to be branching out into more like a performing arts sort of thing with singing, dancing and drama all combined. She was very good in that and I'm not saying she wasn't good tonight(when she conquered her nerves) but to me it seemed to be her mothers dream rather than hers. Just my opinion but she seemed to really crave it more than Holly.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I missed it when it was on as we had a power cut. :(

However, I saw Hollies second performance live and have since watched her first performance on youtube. :)

I think what happened is a shame and we will never know if she would have got through to the final anyway if she hadn't broken down. That happening has just given the school bullies a chance to taunt her further by saying she only got through because folk felt sorry for her......but that might not have been the case, we will never know. I did feel sorry for the other guy that the judges chose her over because as soon as he heard his name against Hollie he probably thought he'd no chance but he may not have had anyway, we will never know. :(

I didn't think it was Hollie's nerves that gave way. I took it to be that she started singing well and then missed a couple of words, she mumbled into the microphone that she'd like to start again but the music kept playing and by this time she'd lost her place, realised she'd fluffed, panicked and started crying.

I think that this must have happened to hundreds of singers and actors or we wouldn't have shows like 'It'll be Alright on the Night'..........ok these people usually fluff in rehearsal rather than on the live performance but there you go. It happens.

My children watched tonight with me and it did make uncomfortable viewing but I turned it into a positive by saying how brave she was to ask to do it again and not just run off and refuse to come out again.

How do we know what would have happened if another contestant broke down? That hasn't happened. :confused:

I don't think it shouild be made over 16s only.......the Welsh fella was shaking something shocking and cried a lot (but not on the live show) and nobody started saying that Welsh men in their 40s should be banned from entering BGT.

I'm quite confident that tonight was a one off and that Hollie will be fine tomorrow. :)

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I loved the Barcelona chap...now that was different,,it was supposed to be a variety of talents :cool:

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Totally agree.Thought at least he was different & made an effort with his visuals to accompany the song.As for Hollie...i thought it was verging on child abuse the way Cowell & co played mind games with her...you can't sing again..no time....you can sing again...we've miracously found a couple of minutes.This show is an end of pier freak show that plays more on emotions than talent(all to line Cowells already fat wallet) & to play on the already fragile state of a 10 year old is scandalous.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

The little lass is there because she wants to be, just like the rest of the thousands who entered, It was only the intervention of Simon Cowell that allowed her to sing again.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

You may find that Holly was there because her mum is chasing a dream more than Holly herself, I doubt that Holly entered herself into the competition.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I doubt she did this herself either,Hollie Steel or her facebook page.

Quite frankly I doubt I'll be watching tonight. After last nights awful happenings.

The sight of her mother manically begging Simon Cowell to let her try again said it all for me. :(

Re Greg Pritchard, I thought he was brilliant. Didn't have a chance when up against Hollie did he? Doubt the cape thing was his idea though. May have contributed to him going off key slightly coz he was having problems with it. He will be a star soon whatever happens.

Another thing that really annoys me is local papers and TV programmes urging us to vote for Hollie because she is local. Erm, pardon? Surely we will vote for who we think is most talented?

I sincerely hope she doesn't win tonight. I don't think she could cope with it.

Also, just wondering how they managed to find her extra time? Seeing as with singing plus judges comments, would probably amount to about 5 minutes. Had they allowed for this possiblity in the first place?

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I always thought you couldn't have a Face Book account at 10 years of age:confused:

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Think if i was Hollies mum id be pulling her out of tonights final the pressure for such a young girl isnt good.I remember Lena Zavaroni and that was a sad ending for such a sweet girl who won a talent show.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I suspect Hollie won't bottle it tonight .. therefore gaining votes from the public for not doing so ... :rolleyes:

Didn't like her performance anyway when she got that second chance .. cracking up on most of her notes, and sadly needing some sort of personality transplant ... sorry.

Greg was rubbish too irrespective of the situation ... he was off notes mostly, and the fear in his eyes made me very uncomfortable.

Anybody's guess who is going to win this ... think you have to ask yourself whether you would pay good money to see any of them. For me, the only one is the saxophonist ... would watch him in concert.

Aiden is excellent with a wonderful personality ... but how would his career shape up ? Maybe not as a solo performer .. bit limited ... mmm not sure.

Haven't seen 'em all though.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

My money is on the saxophonist,although i do think two grand might be in with a chance on the sympathy vote

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I wasn't going to bother, but I've just voted for Diversity.

Utterly mesmerising.

For me the second most talented act was Shaheen, although I preferred his semi-final song choice.

Third was Julian.

I'd be happy for any of them to win, with the exception of Susan. Away from all the hype she's an averagely good singer, though the song that made her famous works for her.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

The whole Hollie thing yesterday was odd.

She was obviously upset, but after her second attempt, all the accolades about it being the bravest thing the judges had ever seen, was way over the top.

Perhap if Simon, Amanda, and Piers might have their eyes opened to true bravery, if they took time out to visit a children's hospice.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Just what I thought G they really do overplay this going on stage lark:)

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Well Hollie did falter a little tonight having said that im more sure now last nights outburst was a voting set up

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Oh Hallelujah! Susan Boyle did not win! Thank you gods.

Diversity are superb, very slick and I love the little ones, but the real stars didn't win. Who could beat Stavros Flatley for sheer fun? They are brilliant. :D

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I feared Subo might win because of the patriotism of the scots, the best act won on the night, no question, dont forget though, all the finalists now go on tour and will make some good money for it. I agree with Garinda about the childrens hospice, I visited a childrens hospital in Manchester, it is very heartwrenching what some of those kids go through, us mere adults would rather just die than put up with what some of those kids do, and they smile through it all.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I didn't really have a favourite this year and thought that Diversity were worthy winners. I presume that at least half of the finalists will already have contracts so good luck to them all.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

George Sampson, who won last year, was performing at Butlins Bognor Regis last week. Farryl Smith, a runner up, has a best-selling album out. Says it all, doesn't it?

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I really liked the Saxophonist, and I am sure that the exposure will have done none of the acts any harm, regardless of whether they won or not.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Me too Margaret, wanted him to win ... could see the Queen really appreciating his playing. Sure he will glean a better career out of this anyway.

Diversity ? Well, they were OK I suppose ... comment was 'perfectly in step', but to be honest just found them a hotch potch of reforming lines and chucking a couple of kids around. I preferred Flawless. Better dance groups around backing singers, least they are trained.

Still, we all have different ideas about being entertained don't we.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Exactly, Katex :)

Dance troups aren't really my thing. I would have liked Susan or Stavros Flatley to win. I like Susan's singing and Stavros Flatley are a comedy act. :)

I thought Hollie did well tonight, she was like a different person to yesterday, much more confident in herself. I read in the paper today that Simon Cowell had one set of adverts axed in order to make time for her to sing twice yesterday.....bet that didn't come cheap.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

I liked him as well, but having a shufty through the headlines just now, came across this.


Saxophonist had made three records for Cowell

Saxophonist Julian Smith has recorded tracks on three albums for Simon Cowell’s record company - despite being billed as a struggling teacher.
Viewers were told Britain’s Got Talent was the musician’s ‘last chance’ to make it big.
He was said to have performed at a few pubs and restaurants around his home town of Birmingham, and was making ends meet by teaching music.
But Julian is already a recording artist - under his stage name Joolz Gianni.

His tracks appeared on the Classic Chillout album compilation series - alongside recording artists such as Moby and Dido.
The albums were released by Sony Music TV, part of the Sony BMG record company which runs Cowell’s label Syco TV.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...rformance.html

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Flawless were out of time on more than one occasion.

Diversity's choreography was much more exciting and current, and they were in complete synchronicity with each other. The only time they weren't was when the little lad's afro kept bouncing, after they'd all frozen stock still at one particular point.

The precision of their hand movements, when they were doing those three insects, showed much greater skill than any classically trained Balinese dancers.

Their dance moves were much more inventive, as well as exhibiting humour, with the head/buzzers/audition etc.

Up until tonight both dance troupe acts were very good, but I didn't think either stood a chance, but after the (not quite) Flawless Michael Jackson parody (purleaseeee, twenty odd year old music, and moves), along came Diversity and blew everyone else out of the competition.

I hadn't been their champion, and I had no intention of bothering to vote for anyone, but I guess a lot of other people must have felt the same, and made them the ultimate winners.

As was posted earlier, we all appreciate different things, and that makes the world a richer place.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Hollie, a very sweet little girl, but whose singing is a little shrill for my taste.

I liked her first audition, but the comparisson with the mature vocals of Julie Andrews and Petula Clarke, when they were children, was way off the mark.

I know my Scrabble partner's been on 'holiday' last week, but I have a sneaky suspicion it was actually Gayle running on to the stage, and on camera, to comfort Hollie, and not the girl's mother.:D

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Lol, sorry to disappoint but I voted for Diversity.

I don't buy into that whole 'vote for Hollie because she's our local lass thing' and I certainly didn't buy into the 'vote for Susan Boyle because she's got a good voice in a rough package' either. I couldn't decide between Diversity and Flawless up until last night but after last night's performance it was a no brainer for me.

Re: Britain's Got Talent
 

Diversity were fantastic and well worth their win, in fact the whole show was a good nights entertainment. Even though Susan didn't win she will be made for life and will end up with millions in the bank, and I just say good luck to all those who appeared and hope it helps to mould their futures
