[Kazanne]

Aw sad Pudsy is no longer with us,lovely dog

[Ant.]

Pudsey had a film? :(

[Ant.]

I'm nearly in ****ing tears I hate hearing about dogs dying

[Kazanne]

Blimey tearing up already,lol

[Tony Montana]

Can't believe Pudsey died 2 years ago.

Time flies.

[Denver]

I was the only person I think not keen on the act no matter how beautiful Pudsey was

[Ant.]

I don't know spoilers but Ashleigh and Sully deserve to WIN

[Amy Jade]

Ashleigh and Sully :flutter:

[Ant.]

Even Amanda is making me want to cry :(

[Amy Jade]

Bit silly putting the very best act of BGT on 1st

[Owoaje1993]

read the spoiler if you want

Ashleigh and sully dont make the finals

[Kazanne]

That dog is adorable the way he is snuggling into her

[Ant.]

read the spoiler if you want

Ashleigh and Pudsy dont make the finals

I ****ing hate this world

[Kazanne]

read the spoiler if you want

Ashleigh and Pudsy dont make the finals

Pudsy wont make the finals he passed on 2 years ago.

[Denver]

So Connie has not been edited out

[Owoaje1993]

thanks for reminding me my bad and Ashleigh and Sully dont make the finals

[Amy Jade]

The winner revealed!

Rx6_zIevyUE

[Tony Montana]

Mess @ his hair.

[Kazanne]

thanks for reminding me my bad and Ashleigh and Sully dont make the finals

:wavey:

[Ant.]

I'm ngl I wasn't sold on the international acts (because I wouldn't have any sentiment to them) but I'm EXCITED to see these two

[Tony Montana]

This is cool.

[Kazanne]

This is really clever .

[Ant.]

HOLY **** they made it more impressive

[Denver]

Great fans of these individuals so its genius they teamed up

[Tony Montana]

This is is so intense.

[Ant.]

I really like that this man has character too

[Tony Montana]

That was phenomenal.

[Tony Montana]

I really like that this man has character too

Same. He's really likeable.

[Amy Jade]

Ash was still better we would have needed one to fall to top a dancing dog

[Tony Montana]

Give them the golden buzzer.

[Ant.]

Same. He's really likeable.

He's nothing like you'd see over here. I don't mean to discredit our daredevil stuntsmen and stuntswomen, but they aren't really too memorable. I can't see myself forgetting either of these, from their dynamic and the dad's speech

[Vanessa]

Simon is looking good.

[Ant.]

Give them the golden buzzer.

I wonder if the Golden Buzzer will top this? The bar's been set pretty high

[Kazanne]

Connie has changed so much she was on our local news last week, lovely girl

[Ant.]

They've not shown her face just yet

[Tony Montana]

He's nothing like you'd see over here. I don't mean to discredit our daredevil stuntsmen and stuntswomen, but they aren't really too memorable. I can't see myself forgetting either of these, from their dynamic and the dad's speech

I agree.

[Tony Montana]

I wonder if the Golden Buzzer will top this? The bar's been set pretty high

It really has. I doubt they'll be topped, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[Amy Jade]

Connie is great!

[GiRTh]

Surely, Connies too big to be back on this? :shrug:

[Ant.]

I would've been the same age as Connie and even still I remember her :omgno:

[Kazanne]

She's beautiful and has a great voice

[Amy Jade]

I like the song too if she wrote it

[Ant.]

The fact she's playing piano is just the cherry on top :flutter:

[LukeB]

Connie performed at the hotel i was staying at in Gran Canaria last year :laugh: she was soo good

[Amy Jade]

She's amazing but still the 3rd best tonight

[Ant.]

Not to sound like an imbecile but why wasn't she performing on the main stage?

[Denver]

I like the song too if she wrote it

It's an original I believe

[Denver]

I'm surprised Simon never signed her and pushed her?

[Ant.]

2 of the 3 acts have made me emotional tonight :laugh:

[Owoaje1993]

all acts been good so far

[Tony Montana]

All 3 acts have been great so far.

[Ant.]

Not to judge them before I see them but I really think the comedians will fall flat compared to the first three acts. Nothing against them, but comedy can be hit and miss (especially since humour can be regional)

[Kazanne]

All 3 acts have been great so far.

We could be spoilt for choice if all the acts are as good as the first 3.

[GiRTh]

Hope the show boosts Connies profile even further.

[Owoaje1993]

Not to judge them before I see them but I really think the comedians will fall flat compared to the first three acts. Nothing against them, but comedy can be hit and miss (especially since humour can be regional)
Ive watched them on youtube they are brilliant and are hilarious

[Tony Montana]

We could be spoilt for choice if all the acts are as good as the first 3.

True. :laugh:

[Amy Jade]

Which episode will Fabia Cerra be on guys?

nVcmI8ELzKs

[Ant.]

Ive watched them on youtube they are brilliant and are hilarious

I hope :worry:

[Amy Jade]

Oh dear

[Ant.]

I was thinking they looked like Jesus :laugh:

[Kazanne]

LOL,Simon doesn't seem too impressed

[Ant.]

Okay the Church joke won me a bit. I hadn't liked them up until then

[Ant.]

MESS @ the Prince Philip comment

[Amy Jade]

They should have gotten Wachiraporn Tirpak on instead these arent that funny

[Denver]

They are hilarious

[Ant.]

Aleisha: that wasn't funny

:skull:

[Tony Montana]

Mess @ the egg comment.

[Amy Jade]

Omg the breast feeding nan one was a scream tbf

[Ant.]

They were good but didn't impress me too much tbh, especially since their first couple of jokes weren't too funny for me

[Tony Montana]

They were good tbh.

[Amy Jade]

They were funnier than Lost Voice Guy tbf

[Tony Montana]

I still prefer the first 3 but they were better than I expected.

[Ant.]

They were funnier than Lost Voice Guy tbf

I still can't believe he won. He wasn't bad, sure, but he was far from the best that year

[Denver]

Kseniya will make you all cry I promise

[Ant.]

They really gambled making a couple jokes about the Royal Family :laugh:

[Tony Montana]

I still can't believe he won. He wasn't bad, sure, but he was far from the best that year

Tea.

[Ant.]

I'm gonna be interested to see how many International Acts go to the finals. I'm assuming the Superfan audience are all Brits and would have some bias to the acts they've grown up seeing and loved?

[Ant.]

Training 8-12 hours daily for a month? This is gonna be interesting

[Owoaje1993]

I'm gonna be interested to see how many International Acts go to the finals. I'm assuming the Superfan audience are all Brits and would have some bias to the acts they've grown up seeing and loved?

4international acts make the finals

[Denver]

They are amazing

[Amy Jade]

Ah-maz-ing

[Ant.]

I also really like how we've got some acts have merged (the American stunt performers and the salsa dancers). Would be interesting to see if they did that to some British acts

[Ant.]

I was sorta sceptical before they started when they said one month but that was AMAZING

[Ant.]

NOT Simon stans

[Denver]

We love Antons and Katyas strictly replacements:clap1:

[Denver]

Everyone get ready she will blow your mind

[Amy Jade]

Was she the sand artist from Eurovision?

[Denver]

Was she the sand artist from Eurovision?

Yes

[Amy Jade]

I love her already

[Ant.]

It's honestly a shame only two acts can go through out of nine. I already love her so that's 4 out of 5 acts I'd want to go through but only two can :laugh:

[Tony Montana]

This is amazing.

[Tony Montana]

It's honestly a shame only two acts can go through out of nine. I already love her so that's 4 out of 5 acts I'd want to go through but only two can :laugh:

Same. So many great acts.

[Denver]

She is one of the best acts in the history of the franchise and that's the truth

[Kazanne]

She is brilliant love this art concept

[Ant.]

Oh my goodness :(

[Ant.]

This is so poignant especially with how she mentions the work she does for people with cancer

[Ant.]

As if I'm almost in tears for the third time tonight :laugh:

[Tony Montana]

Beautiful. :(

[Amy Jade]

Beautiful

[Kazanne]

Wow !!!

[Ant.]

YES

[Denver]

Deserved

[Amy Jade]

I'm crying

[Ant.]

Amanda has had great taste this year

[GiRTh]

Nice, very nice but boring.

Golden Buzzer :joker:

[Kazanne]

What a gorgeous woman too

[Ant.]

Nice, very nice but boring.

Golden Buzzer :joker:

Each to their own, but boring?

I appreciate it's not a stunt or whatever but did you not find it interesting thinking about what she was doing next?

[Denver]

She is an inspiration which is why it makes the performance ever so much better

[Tony Montana]

Not Boogie Storm.

[GiRTh]

Each to their own, but boring?

I appreciate it's not a stunt or whatever but did you not find it interesting thinking about what she was doing next?Not really no. Its not an act.

[Denver]

Relying on a sob story by using cancer to prey on people’s emotions.

You are a horrible horrible horrible person,

This is her life, she works to give kids the courage to fight cancer and you just sit on your arse trolling for a living

[Tony Montana]

Relying on a sob story by using cancer to prey on people’s emotions.

:facepalm:

[Amy Jade]

Relying on a sob story by using cancer to prey on people’s emotions.

She never had a sob story, she helps children with cancer and told their story from experience.

Why don't you go write a love island story or whatever it is you clutter up the forum with.

[Ant.]

Relying on a sob story by using cancer to prey on people’s emotions.

:umm2:

People were applauding her for her performance before she introduced the cancer part

[Ant.]

If that performance wasn’t reliant on the story, it wouldn’t get the praise it’s getting. It’s not about the act at all.

People were cheering before she introduced the cancer part.

Adam, did she use her art to talk about cancer in her original series? Because if she didn't (and she won) it pretty much proves it IS about the act

[Ant.]

They have to, the audience are told to applaud.

It's not a ****ing conspiracy love

People liked her

[Denver]

I didnt watch her original one but she didnt on the US champions? Well not what I can remember as this seems to be the first I heard of it

[LukeB]

It's not a ****ing conspiracy love

People liked her

I’ve been to a bgt audition and we were not told we have to applause everyone, they said we can cheer if we want to just no booing

[Ant.]

I didnt watch her original one but she didnt on the US champions? Well not what I can remember as this seems to be the first I heard of it

Oh, so she's loved for her talent then?

Thought so :smug:

[Tony Montana]

Out of all the acts of 2016, why Boogie Storm.

[Amy Jade]

“Clutter up the forum” says the one with over 47,000 posts

And more to come, stay pressed won't you!

[LukeB]

I’ve been to multiple semi finals (which is what I’m talking about, not auditions) and they tell you to applaud before and after every act.

i call bull****

[Ant.]

I’ve been to a bgt audition and we were not told we have to applause everyone, they said we can cheer if we want to just no booing

Ah cheers, I've never heard of that before

James I think you dropped this!

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/IHkAAOSwB3JdKPjy/s-l300.jpg

[Denver]

Oh, so she's loved for her talent then?

Thought so :smug:

I just checked her audition for that and she did it about a boy who became a famous artist and got lonely which led to Terry given her the golden buzzer

[Ant.]

not flossing

[Amy Jade]

This is meh

[LukeB]

Ah cheers, I've never heard of that before

James I think you dropped this!

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/IHkAAOSwB3JdKPjy/s-l300.jpg

people boo anyway so the crowd don't listen to the warm up guy :hehe:

[Owoaje1993]

loved it loved it loved it

[Denver]

This seems like it was included for kids

[Ant.]

I just checked her audition for that and she did it about a boy who became a famous artist and got lonely which led to Terry given her the golden buzzer

If BBUK-Fan somehow tries to justify the Golden Buzzer as being nothing more but pity for the "sob story" I'd be Disappointed But Not Surprised

[Tony Montana]

I fear they may go through. :worry:

[Ant.]

THe only pressed one is you

Would we be having this conversation if she was a man

[Denver]

Would we be having this conversation if she was a man

No because he would be in the toilet jerking

[Amy Jade]

THe only pressed one is you

What am I pressed about?

Just grossed out you'd suggest a lady who dedicates her time to helping sick children would use their illness for self gain.

[Ant.]

No because he would be in the toilet jerking

:joker:

[Tony Montana]

[Amy Jade]

Sacred Rhianna :love:

[Tony Montana]

Dafuq is this.

[Ant.]

Never heard of her but I'm intrigued
Reminds me on a BGT act this year whose name escapes me

[Denver]

Perched for Amanda skidders

[Amy Jade]

They always target Amanda :laugh:

[Ant.]

I hope she swears again

[Denver]

That was amazing

[Amy Jade]

So amazing!

Really want to see part 2

[Tony Montana]

That was really good.

[Lewismacfarlane]

My favourite has been Ashley and sully

[Denver]

Mess at her family being a bunch of dolls

[Denver]

Mess at her family being a bunch of dolls and bears

Monty teas when he got a visit from home in BB?

[Vanessa]

Loved that magic act. Absolutely brilliant!

[Ant.]

I really shouldve paid attention that performance but I was too busy talking to Morgan trying to explain that I was asking when she was on America's Got Talent and why if she was if she was on Asia's Got Talent

"Because I used to watch AGT and because she was a contestant". I think he thought I meant why he watched AGT and why he did :suspect:

[Kazanne]

Loved that magic act. Absolutely brilliant!

Looked like a scene from The Ring :laugh:

[Amy Jade]

I find Paul Potts so overrated

[Morgan.]

Well you asked me where I’d seen her, I said AGT, and you asked me why :suspect:

[Morgan.]

I find Paul Potts so overrated

Same. And I get bored by opera as well :joker:

[LukeB]

I find Paul Potts so overrated

I always said Connie was robbed

[Owoaje1993]

im bored

[Tony Montana]

I've muted my tv.

[Ant.]

Same

Well you asked me where I’d seen her, I said AGT, and you asked me why :suspect:

just SHUT UP or I'll block you on messenger

[Ant.]

See Morgan, why couldn't you have distracted me during this tripe :idc:

[Tony Montana]

[Kazanne]

I've muted my tv.

:laugh: I like a bit of opera, depends what it is, also like some classical:hee:

[Vanessa]

Looked like a scene from The Ring :laugh:

Yes. My favourite act of the night.

[GiRTh]

First three were the best. Liked he artist, clever but boring.

[Vanessa]

Looked like a scene from The Ring :laugh:

:laugh: I like a bit of opera, depends what it is, also like some classical:hee:

I like opera, especially Il Volo :love:

[Tony Montana]

:laugh: I like a bit of opera, depends what it is, also like some classical:hee:

I don't mind opera but when it's on these talent shows, I'll keep it on mute. :laugh:

[GiRTh]

WTF Simon giving a professional Singer advice.

[Ant.]

I've muted my tv.

If I had the remote nearby I would've!

[Amy Jade]

Between Sacred Rihanna and Ashleigh and Sully imo

[Morgan.]

1. Kseniya Simonova - Breathtaking, I love her storytelling
2. The Sacred Riana - She’s Doble better, but still amazing
3. Ashley and Sully - Again, not their best, but they’re BGT icons and impressed
4. Bad Salsa - Incredibly talented
5. Belo and Annaliese Nock - Stunning, Although a bit repetitive in parts
6. Connie Talbot - We’ve had better singers, and she had more of a spark before, but still beautiful
7. Boogie Storm - I mean they’re good, but too novelty for me and not amazing enough dancers
8. Paul Potts - I’m not an opera fan so I found this boring :hehe:
9. The Nelson Twins - Okay humour, we’ve seen better, and it was awkward in places

[Kazanne]

I like opera, especially Il Volo :love:

I like all different kinds of music tbh ,I find some opera and classical really emotional.

[Morgan.]

The Sacred Riana was the OG Elizabeth and I think she does it way better as well

[Morgan.]

I hope we get placements this time around. In AGT Champions they did this weird thing where they announced the top 3 and went through them saying ‘Susan Boyle, you got your votes from women aged 16-24 who live in Texas’ as if anyone actually cared.

[Ant.]

Morgan can you **** talking about how 'great' Rhianna is I GET IT I DIDNT WATCH HER

[Owoaje1993]

for me I loved 6 out of 9 acts
1;Bello and Analyse Knocks
2: Boogie Storm
3:Nelson Twins
4:Kseniya Simonova
5: Ashley and Sully
6: Connie Tolbert
7:The Sacred Riana
8:Bad Salsa
9: Paul Potts

[Ant.]

The Sacred Riana was the OG Elizabeth and I think she does it way better as well

"Connie you got your votes from Ken aged 80 to 100"

[Amy Jade]

Awww yay

[Denver]

Why is Jack Carrol stealing Ashliegh and Sullies screen time?

[Owoaje1993]

Omg what :o
its just my opinion and what I enjoyed the most

[Tony Montana]

:clap1:

[Amy Jade]

Get Riana in this top 3 and its perfect

[Morgan.]

"Connie you got your votes from Ken aged 80 to 100"

:joker:

[Morgan.]

[Tony Montana]

Oh **** off

[Morgan.]

Riana robbed

[Amy Jade]

Boogie Storm :umm2:

[Denver]

Amanda Is devastated

[Ant.]

Boogie ****ing STOrm?

[Morgan.]

I’m moving country this is appalling

[Amy Jade]

If the novelty dance act win :umm2:

[Amy Jade]

WHAT

[Morgan.]

WHAT

[Amy Jade]

I hope the audience all get diarrhoea

[Tony Montana]

What the ****!

[Morgan.]

This is why it should’ve been live and we should’ve voted.

[Amy Jade]

Boogie Storm will win this what a travesty

[Denver]

Calm down Ya'll

[Tony Montana]

Trash if Boogie storm get to the final.

[Amy Jade]

YES!

[GiRTh]

Well....

[Tony Montana]

Yesssssssssss!

[Amy Jade]

Thank God talent put a halt to the lame dancers

[Kazanne]

Disappointed for Ashley and Sulley and Connie

[Amy Jade]

Boogie Storm shouldn't even be champions. They're awful.

[Denver]

I mean they deserved it for the fact they put their lives on the line without taking safety measures

[Ant.]

I didn't see any five year old boys in the audience so how did Boogie Storm get so many votes

[Ant.]

Lost Voice guy... :worry:

[Tony Montana]

Great opener.

[Denver]

I didn't see any five year old boys in the audience so how did Boogie Storm get so many votes

Eric threatened to leave home if Simon didnt put them in the top 3?

[Tony Montana]

Lost Voice guy... :worry:

I'll be muting his performance.

[Amy Jade]

Lost Voice guy... :worry:

Get ready for BBFAN-UK to claim he's using his disability for sympathy?

[Tony Montana]

Eric threatened to leave home if Simon didnt put them in the top 3?

You and me both. The "my accent is from PC World" comment was funny but I can guarantee you now he won't be anywhere near my top 5 if that night

[Ant.]

Get ready for BBFAN-UK to claim he's using his disability for sympathy?

:joker:

[sleleen]

That was one of the best BGT episodes in a long time.
Ashleigh & Sully, Annaliese (forget the guys name), Connie, Bad Salsa, Kseniya, Riana were all incredible:love:

[Lewismacfarlane]

I want a dog like sully

[Rufus]

I hope Robert White is in this, he was robbed in his series.

[Morgan.]

I hope Robert White is in this, he was robbed in his series.

He’s not :(

But I saw him live on his tour, and he’s so much better without the watershed and PC restrictions :laugh:

[Rufus]

He’s not :(

But I saw him live on his tour, and he’s so much better without the watershed and PC restrictions :laugh:

Robbed once again :(

[Owoaje1993]

I thought all the acts were good last night few I thought were good but not my cup of tea

[Tony Montana]

I thought all the acts were good last night few I thought were good but not my cup of tea

I enjoyed everyone apart from Paul Potts and Boogie Storm.

[Nicky91]

Kseniya :love: :love:

a real talent

[Ryebailey23]

The nelson twins were dreadful everyone else was good

[Strictly Jake]

Was really shocked at who the audience put through! But I'm gonna love this series I like it so far

[Owoaje1993]

I just find it weird that they are not doing it in the order they filmed things for example

Semi final 2 line up
Daliso Chaponda-Comedian
Collabro -Boyband
DMX- Dance crew
Twist and Pulse-Dancers
Vicki Barbolak-Comedian
Ben Hart- Magician
Bars and Melody- Singing duo
Gnaddy Tchenko-Singer

Paul Zerdin- ventriloquist
Gao and Liu- acrobatics
Alexa Lauenburger- Dancing dogs
Lost Voice Guy- Comedian
Antonio Sorgentone- pianist
Mersey Girls- dancers
Deadly Games- danger act
Jai McDowall- Singer

But this week
100 Voices of Gospel- choir
Paul Zerdin- ventriloquist
Gao and Liu- acrobatics
Alexa Lauenburger- Dancing dogs
Lost Voice Guy- Comedian
Antonio Sorgentone- pianist
Mersey Girls- dancers
Deadly Games- danger act
Jai McDowall- Singer
are performing

[Morgan.]

They don’t have to show it in order :shrug:

TXF auditions were never shown in order

[Owoaje1993]

They don’t have to show it in order :shrug:

TXF auditions were never shown in order
I know but I’m wondering how are they at the end gonna show all the acts who have made the finals so far? It’s gonna look like so many errors I think

[Morgan.]

I know but I’m wondering how are they at the end gonna show all the acts who have made the finals so far? It’s gonna look like so many errors I think

Well they just won’t show who’s made the final so far, or they’ll have it as an on screen graphic and narrate over it. It’s not hard to cover up.

[Owoaje1993]

Well they just won’t show who’s made the final so far, or they’ll have it as an on screen graphic and narrate over it. It’s not hard to cover up.
True but I was just thinking what they usually do with the original series but they would probably just show clips of who the finalists are

[Ant.]

SCREAMING at Alesha fuming about Lost Voice Guy

[Cherie]

Mersey girls ...:umm2:

[Owoaje1993]

Paul should of gone through the mersay girls only went through cause of sympathy

[Tony Montana]

Hopefully this is a good act.
