It's also called "Britain's Got Talent "

NOT "X-FACTOR 2"
If you want to sing - audition for X-FACTOR !!!

I agree! I think they dis-allow singing acts that is what the X-Factor show is for. I would much rather see something completely different on BGT.

For that reason I'd quite like the magician to win. He is freakin' AMAZING!!! I love Beau too though, so I guess we'll see!

I love Stormtroopers but also Jasmine Elcock (Yes, I know she is a singer but too young too young to apply for X-Factor).

HoneyBooBoo_2

100 Voices of Gospel to win!! And I'd love Kathleen Jenkins to get the wildcard. I really don't see how the mother and son singers are in the final actually. Also Jack Higgins for the other wildcard!

Its a variety show, that's the point, that will include all sorts of talents, including singers.. singers that audition on BGT get more flexibility over what they do, they don't have to run to themes and do boot camp etc.. its more them doing their talent, not them singing and then being guided and down a path that someone things is right for them.

I think despite the quality (or lack of) in the semi finals, I think the final will be quite good, maybe with the exception of the act that cant be performed live on a live show... that annoys me.

Hope Wayne is feeling better and able to perform tomorrow

Unfortunately like a lot of TV shows it is not as "real" as it is made out to be

Take last nights winner, his audition was a Paul Zenon TV trick from years ago and his semi final and final acts were both on Americas Got Talent, I have no issue with it but do laugh when Cowell says its original when he owns Americas Got Talent - I know not a judge but he is a control freak and manages the show so watches it all

What I think a lot of people do not realise is a lot of acts are recruited with the guarantee they will go to the semi finals - they have to sign waivers to say they will not talk about it- and its to the point I know of one act who was guaranteed to go through and when he got on stage before he had performed saw the judges comments for him on the auto-cue!

Its not different in many other shows but think it is wrong personally because they ask people to vote it in, I wonder how many would if they knew some of the acts have been given guarantees they will be in the semi finals

The show is all about the judges anyway - they get paid more per series than the winner gets.

Yeah they do too! Bit disappointed with the winner this year - his magic tricks were nothing special last night- I think he won because he is a soldier and used a bit of a 'sob story'! (my opionion so don't bite!) Anyway, I thought there were other acts I thought were better on the night......but life goes on.....dear John.....

Haven't there also been allegations that the singing impressionist 'borrowed' his act? I have to admit that I wouldn't have had a clue who most of his impressions were of if it hadn't been for the great big pictures behind him as he performed.
