BGT Semi Final 2


A theme running through tonights show was the incessant chatter from the judges that Susan Boyle had better watch out, she has competition. Well does that ring true in tonights 2nd Semi final? the answer would be a resounding no! As Simon said himself there was a lot of junk out there tonight, among the junk was a drag fat man, nervous guy, not so hot honeyz, and DJ funny but no talent. There were a couple of acts in the middle though they had talent were not amazingly entertaining, The Ventriloquist and the Magician. A nice name for a pub, watch your woes dissapear as you drink our finest ales.

That leaves us with Sean Smith X Factor avoider and Flawless the dance act that made a mistake. Can these two if they go through really contend with the populous internet sensation Susan Boyle.

The likely hood would be these two going through tonight as I wait for the results. The Geordie duo have announced the phone lines are now closed so we don't have long to wait.

The First Semi finalist through to the final with the most votes is...................................................


No surprise it is Flawless!

The two acts fight it out for the judges decision are...........................................................................


Shaun Smith and Gareth Oliver..... This should be interesting.......I can't see anything other than a clean sweep for Shaun here, they really loved him.

Simon goes for............... Shaun

Piers..................Gareth, he likes the more variety style act.

Amanda............ doesn't like making young people cry, so goes for Shaun.

Shaun is in the final!


Gareth a gracious loser, wishes Shaun all the best for the final and will vote for him, a class act.

The question that arises again is anyone going to stop the juggernaut that is Boyle!

What do you think?

BGT SBOYLE SPORTS



The Britain's Got Talent semi finals began tonight and we have no doubt who the producers are supporting. Susan Boyle was in the favorable position of performing last. The sheer gaul of BGT to make this decision and think we the viewer are not aware that her position was anything other than a producer's selection is shocking. Does she really need any more help?? She has already had 100 million viewers on youtube, has appeared on Oprah and has had name drops on South Park and The Simpsons. She is a guarentee to win the competition which is a shame for all the other acts who think they are even in with a chance. With Susan Boyle known around the world Simon cannot wait to milk that cash cow. Her moments of madness may put that to end we will see. She seems a bit body popping mental.

All of the above was reaffirmed when the results for Semi Final 1 were revealed and Boyle was the act with the most votes and is through to the final.

The judges choice revealed more than just the second finalist. In a straight shoot out between talented dance troupe Diversity and sickly cutesy future x factor loser Natalie Okri the judges were split. Piers went for the flawless Diversity and their intelligent storytelling in their dance sequence. Amanda Holden went for Okri, what did we learn? Amanda Holden clearly bases her decisions on cuteness and not talent, she fears the hard decisions.

The night was saved when Simon made the decision that everyone wanted...... he made a little girl cry. Forget about the brilliant Diversity going through.....Simon made a little girl cry.

On Britain's Got More Talent the house band was the brilliant The Brett Domino Trio. I was still holding hope that they were in the Semi Finals but alas no. If I ever get a chat show they will be my Paul Schaffer.

X Factor Bores me to "Tears."



I've finally had enough of the X Factor, and its no suprise that it's coincided with the departure of Diana Vickers. Last nights show was bland, predictable, boring, and full of vomit enducing close ups of peoples salty tears as they explained how much they "wanted it," and just how hard they'd "worked," to get here.
The judges bleet about how this is a "talent" contest, but when it boils down to it, the public are more interested in who can shed the most tears and act like the biggest muppet. First there was the inexplicable success of Daniel Evans, who, although seemingly a throuougly nice guy, couldn't sing for his supper, yet was kept on week after week. We can only imagine because of his 'hearbreaking' tale of love lost.
Next theres Alexandra (Leona Lewis) her mum needs a kindey op don't you know! She is a great singer, but haven't we been here before? What does she offer the market that Leona doesn't already own. Her songs bore the life out of me, and when i see the judges giving her a standing O' i want to launch my fish supper at the tele.
Next theres the living foetus Oweighn Quigges, who looks like an adorable high school kid who's been smacked in the face with a spade and then had his hair tied to a ceeling fan... oh... and he can't sing!
JLS seem to be totally genuine guys, but their vocals are terribly weak, having said that i hope they win, just so i can see Louis Walsh wet himself.
Granted Diana was poor the last couple of weeks, and looking back at her best bits last night i couldnt believe just how far she's fallen since her excellent performances in boot camp; the pressure got to her, and Cheryl Cole tried to Iron any sort of quirk she had flat by dressing her up as Avil Lavigne.
The final is going to be a drab affair full of Alex's "big voice" EOughing's "big fun" and JLS's "Big Performances. Excuse me while i fall asleep.
