Britain's Got Talent 2009

Normally, I can't stand this type of show, but I love BGT. It's the perfect demonstration of the human mind's capacity for kidding itself. I mean, why would someone who can fart the Walting Matilda in C minor*, possibly think that it's a talent worth sharing? (Would love to see that being performed at the Royal Variety though, just for the look on Queenie's face).

But seriously though, there was some kid on yesterday, 'playing' his nose!

Also, there's something indefinably sexy about Piers Morgan.

*Obviously, that's a made up example purely to highlight the point i'm attempting to make.

Jamie Pugh was brillant (he was the male version of Susan Boyle)

Susan Boyle at 22: Early Performance Revealed!

Not sure where else to post this.

I don't think he was brillant, he had a nice voice but i didnt think it was anything special. He still had me in tears though.
I thought the girl sue playing the violin was good but the backing track seemed to play alot of the music so it was hard to tell what she was playing and how good she really was

Don't be too disappointed. Beleive it or not, some guy's just been on tonight, done almost exactly what I said in my original post.
Quite frankly, i'm stunned.

overexcitedaj · 13-05-2009 11:59am

So that Opera guy was fantastic wasnt he?
This is the first year ive been able to keep watching this type of show.
Americas got talent is just dire imo and previous seasons of BGT didnt keep me occupied for more then 10 mins but this year i believe its the most entertaining programme on at the mo

Cant believe they let that loon of an old priest on the show never mind actually putting him through. Perfect way to represent Ireland!:rolleyes:

Couldn't agree more. I recognised him as soon as he appeared on TV. For someone like Piers Morgan (a former newspaper editor) to not recognise the guy who ran onto the track at Silverstone during the British GP, or the guy who ran onto the marathon course at Athens 2004 and ruined the chances of the Brazilian runner who was leading at the time by hauling him to the ground, is pretty bad in my opinion.

the way amanda holden claps really annoys me

dmcg90 · 24-05-2009 12:45am

Yeah, she reminds me of a seal when she claps in amazement that someone is actually good.

Very wierd tonight when the 200 people in ''bootcamp'' I think it was called were called back, they all were wearing the same clothes, same facepaints (for some) eg Susan Boyle wearing the same dress, no dyed hair (you could tell the last episode wasn't done recently).

i thought Susan Boyle wasn't as good as she was at the auditions,

Diversity were good.

Piers was really rude to Nick Hell. he didn't need to say those things in such a way. They put him through to the final ffs.

yurmothrintites · 24-05-2009 9:50pm

Diversity and Susan Boyle will sail through tonight I think!

35notout · 24-05-2009 9:56pm

I really dont like that Susan Boyle - I think she has made it already and is milking this now - Diveristy are sooooooooooo much better

Mint Sauce · 24-05-2009 9:59pm

he's a lovely man that simon, making a little girl cry

IanCurtis · 24-05-2009 9:59pm

This show is sick.

Is making children cry Sunday night entertainment now?

Absolute lowest common denominator television.

jaffa20 · 24-05-2009 9:59pm

Really having a 10 yo girl on the competition is ridiculous. She honestly thought she'd do great. They put stars in her eyes and now she is heartbroken

I felt the judges were a bit mean with nick hell

and would you prefer if he put her through? even though diversity were the better act? everyone is upset when they don't get through, just because she is ten years old doesn't mean she should be given special treatment.

Age requirement: 15+

Jako8 · 24-05-2009 10:06pm

Thank God they chose Diversity.

I really believe that they should put an age limit on it. Anyone 16 or over. Cute little girls will always win over the majority of the public.

It was sad to see Natalie's heart broken. She is very young and shouldn't be subjected to the disappointment. I do believe, however, that Diversity were the better act.

I am already sick of Susan Boyle

ProperDeadly · 24-05-2009 10:07pm

fair enough, but then you miss out on talent as well. Look at Connie, from 2 years ago.

Yes, she was way too young. It was more a matter of cuteness than talent there.

If she's talented then she'll surely stay talented until she's 16.

yurmothrintites · 24-05-2009 10:19pm

They drowned out Natalie with the backing music tonight. Such a terrible song choice as well. Diversity should win. Sure Susan Boyle is talented but she has already done extremely well and undoubtingly will get a record contract. Diversity on the other hand would benefit greatly from winning the show.

It will be interesting to see how that young Iranian lad does and Flawless also.

Cactus Col · 25-05-2009 11:50am

Darth Jackson really shouldn't have taken off his helmet.

Min · 25-05-2009 11:52am

Nick Hell was a sick act...really...

Yea i agree about the song choice, i really thought see was good when she sung alica keys, but that song choice and the backing music was just terrible...

smares · 25-05-2009 4:30pm

Diversity defo deserved to go through as did Susan Boyle. But Flawless who are on tonights show are very similar to diversity.
Anyone see on Britains Got More Talent when they were talking about Jamie Pugh singing tonight Simon said to Amanda how it would be awkward after what she said in the papers for her. Any idea what he was talking about im dying to know???

Mad_Max · 25-05-2009 4:39pm

Just seen the acts there now, that young girl just wasn't better than diversity. Its tough on her but if she's not the type of girl that can handle that level of dissapointment her parents should never have let her go on, knowing that she would in all likihood fail.

There probably should be an age limit but the young kids are good tv for Cowell media so that won't happen.

I can't wait to see stavros flatley and see what they do! Loved their audition but surely they can't do that again.
