    Yes she was very good. I liked the boy comedian at the start as well.

    Jesus a lot of unnecessary standing ovations


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,392 ✭✭✭CH3OH


    The 15 year old certainly deserved her standing ovation- powerhouse of a voice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,280 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    Anyone singing on it bores me to tears.

    You want to sing, go on X-Factor, I watch this to see something more original and unique.

    Few decent acts tonight. Can't believe doga is a real thing. People are nuts.

    Great show tongiht! They seem to have tightened up quite a bit as regards production. We didn't have to suffer the bad acts in full.
    Loved young Ned at the start. Amazing for an eight-year old! The two mind-readers showed an extraordinary gift. Enjoyed the 15-year old singer, who got the gold button, but did think her performance was drawn out longer than necessary. "Yoga" was one of the worst performances i've seen in a long time. Obviously it was there as a "joke act", seeing as all of the judges and Ant & Dec had brought in their own dogs. The icing on the cake was when the large dog pee'd onto David W's shoes. Overall - very enjoyable show!

    The kids dad is a comedy writer for BBC, on the show.... Not going out, he wrote the jokes for his kid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,677 ✭✭✭Eyepatch


    It's obvious an adult wrote the jokes for the kid, but for an eight-year old child, his delivery and timing were amazing.

    Wow that kid was amazing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,948 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    Loved his confidence and his attitude pose at the end , brilliant !!

    Hate dancing and singing children.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,948 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    I love the fact that these young ones have great belief and confidence in what they are doing , lovely to see.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,677 ✭✭✭Eyepatch


    Another very enjoyable show tonight! I was delighted the "danger" act got the thumbs down. The little female magician was brilliant - and so charming. Loved the Chinese acrobat/dancers. The little one with the scholiosis did great. Also very talented and brave was the sixteen-year old singer who wrote his own song and accompnied himself on the piano. The final act with Ant and Dec was a scream. They must have put in some time rehearsing that.

    Enjoyed the kids choir but thought Amanda Holden was a bit condescending.

    "Imagine the excitement in their little village"

    Now if they are from a little village in Co. Down and she knew that fair enough.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,677 ✭✭✭Eyepatch


    The female magician was brilliant. My fave!

    Also the young pianist.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 27,629 Mod ✭✭✭✭Posy


    The whole thing with the nervous woman Simon stopped singing and made do another song looked so staged, I just couldn't enjoy it.

    also thought the pianist Tokio Myers was excellent - could be a winner

    Angara contortion were out of this world.

    So strong and so bendy.

    Another very entertaining episode! Loved the young boy who sang the song re his Granny's state of dementia.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,948 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    Liked that chap Jamie singing , really nice voice.

    That magician Guy at the end had me in stitches:)

    Loved him ! Brilliant entertainer , delighted Ant and Dec pressed the Golden Buzzer , would watch him again !

    I needed to post after watching that this evening.

    That Matt Edwards magician segment at the end was one of the best made few minutes of television you'll see.

    The act itself was great, but the way they built up Ant and Dec's golden button push was an artform perfected. From constant cuts to Ant and Dec through the judges comments, to the background music (Coldplay's 'Fix You', no matter what you think of it, is perfect for a build-up of tension), to Cowell's speech, to Walliams' eyes moving to Ant and Dec just as they come out, to Edwards' slow realisation as they pass him what is actually happening, to the 15 seconds it takes Ant and Dec to get to the buzzer, to the push itself, to Edwards' drop to his knees, to Ant and Dec's heartfelt explanation on stage.

    It was probably mostly choreographed, but as I say, purely as a piece of reality TV, it's as perfect as you'll get.

    Seemed like there were more red X buzzers pressed by the judges on this episode than on any previous ones. Just about three good acts. I liked Jamie singing, the girls' choir and the final crazy magician.

    Not the whole thing, but his act. Loved it.

    Leah from Meath was outstanding, did Ireland proud.

    I do like a good opera singer.
