Britains Got Talent

Anyone watched this weeks ?

Totally blown away by two acts

The young girl who sung the song from Wicked - spine tinglingly brilliant performance from someone so young

And the chap swallowing swords - wow - just wow , unbelievable

How is this rubbish still on tv?

No idea. While some may well have some wonderful talents (or cheat and substitute their dog) the majority are just freaks looking for their moment on the box.

As I said all very nice, but does it justify a whole chunk of prime time viewing especially with the dross too? Not for me and if I wanted sword swallowing I'd go to a circus.

Two things on telly strain my marriage. X factor and BGT.

Having said that sad to say LP has hit the nail on the head.

1, a 12 yd old girl nailing a difficult song was unbelievable.

2, that bloke swallowing swords was unbelievable.

3, me and phil need to get out on a Saturday night.

I'm not arguing they weren't fantastic. The girl in particular. However with the ever increasing coverage these shows, and the ever increasing recycling of a similar format, TV is simply dumbing down these days

Recorded it to watch with the wife :thup:

The 12 year olds voice was just perfect - to be that good at that age is just unreal - she has a future in theatre no doubt.

The show unearths some wonderful talent and even some of the rubbish is funny to watch.

I found the girl a bit freakish .................. brilliant but freakish!
What the hell is a little girl doing with a fully grown adult's voice.

The sword swallower was awesome, too.

That's what you see in theatre's

The little girl who sang in Lion King had the same sort of powerful voice

Bit like X Factor for me. While there are still great singers unsigned and deserving a break, as a TV concept, I think that and BGT have had their day

Didnt the final of BGT have the highest viewing figures of any TV show last year? Seems like the British public disagree with you.

It did indeed - 13 and half million viewers.

Thats why Missis T puts a tape in and 2 hrs of Rammel condenses into 20 min.

Just my opinion. Like X Factor I find it empty rubbish.

No I didn't watch it Phil. Will listen to the girl sing later after the golf, but not a fan of sword swallowing. Makes me very uncomfortable.

Good to see the negative posters at it again.:thup:

The sword swallowing prob should come with a warning - not see anything as dangerous tbh. Not sure why someone would post on a thread about a telly show that they don't watch

 

[Deleted member 16999]

Love it, sheer escapism, sad people looking for 5 minutes of fame and on the odd occassion it unearths a gem, every telly has an off button and more than one channel, easily avoided if not to someones taste.

I only watched some if the no hopers and then she sang and that signalled a switch over to the golf. She was awesome though and it's a hugely better show than X Factor for me

It's an opinion. Read what I said. The girls voice is wonderful. I just find the whole concept and especially watching the idiots without talent a waste of time
