Britains Got Talent

[drdel]

Watched it and enjoyed it last night.
Only thing that bothers me (slightly) is that quite a few of the acts, whilst being very good, are not, as the title suggests, from Britain.
More and more acts are travelling over here from Eastern Europe, or even further afield, to stake their claim.
Hardly "Britain's" got talent and kind of makes a mockery of the shows premise.
Never mind. Still enjoyed it.

I agree. However, as far as S Cowell's concerned it helps to market the franchise to other countries and keeps his cash flow up so he's all for attracting anyone from anywhere.

Is BGT not just Opportunity Knocks hyped-up to a ridiculous level. I don't know as I have never watched.

Nope. It's funnier than that.

Loved the dancers from Italy and the imagination of it all - wonderful

The ballet dancer was also very good

But if it's Britain's Got Talent what are Italian dancers doing on there?

It's the need to post on every single thread regardless.

Sorry but surely a valid question. Why allow overseas acts into something called BGT? Something completely different from saying I don't like the programme. And again, I'll post what I want (within rules) thank you and for the record (yet again and for clarity for t he likes of your good self) the post count is of no interest and it's about posting on whatever threads I have something to say on. As I've said to others, ignore button is there for you to use if you don't want to read anything I post

 

[GB72]

Fair point well made.

 

[GB72]

Sorry that was commenting on Fundy's post to be clear

First to moan when you get stick, first to give it out. Never stops you arguing a point into the ground, as has been pointed out to you numerous times.

Quality

Are there any depths you won't stoop to in order to increase your post count!?

Care to expand on why that is "quality"? Would be more interested in your explanation of that rather than you posting "get a lesson" for the 15,000th time.

BGT is the only one of the "talent" shows that I watch, mainly because itsw all done and dusted in a month rather than the stuff that drags on for 3 or 4 months.

The magician was good tonight but I didn't get the euphoria over the choir at the end. That sort of thing is a very American in my mind and not something I am a fan of.

Magician was very good.

My kids watch it, clearly some very talented people and dogs about

And forgot to say agree about the choir - not a fan of that at all - she was almost screaming and just felt it all over the place and a mess but they loved it

Very well put sir!

Someone likes the 'sound' of their own voice, coz very few others listen after referee-gate.

I know that everyone has different views on the TVs output and you may watch what I wouldn't ever bother to, but for me BGT is harmless, good old entertainment that you can dip in and out of. I don't feel the need for Panorama on a Saturday evening!

 

[BubbaP]

Agree. I watched it the Saturday just gone, first one I have seen this time around but happened to be on and I stayed with it.

I suppose the dilemma for the the TV company, is the non British acts who have bothered to make the effort are probably of decent quality - so decent viewing for their ratings v.s if they enforced a Brit only entry.

I'd have called the programme, Britain Has Talent, but I suspect I am in an ever decreasing group of people in that regard!

Thank god I'm not the only one who thought that. I didn't think the lead singer's voice was that good at all. Yes the act was full of energy and a decent choir always makes a good sound but they were really nothing special at all.

Not the only one - must have felt different jn the studio - thought it was over the top which masked ok singing
