Britain's Got Talent: Live Show 2 Discussion (25/5/09)

[Tom4784]

It was a poor show tonight. There was only 2 amazing acts and 1 good one. I'm glad Shaun and Flawless got through. I felt bad for Gareth as I thought his performance was good. Tomorow's looks like Slim pickings as well. Shaheen will win the public vote and judging from the Youtube views Stavros Flatly will get through on the judge's vote. I might be biased but I think Harmony could potentially sneak it if they perform well as there's only 2 serious acts in it tomorow.

I think it'll be Shaheen and Stavros through but I'm hoping for Harmony.

Putting so many of the great acts in the first show has really bitten ITV in the arse I think. acts like Sue Son and Natalie could have been put on different nights to spread out the talent more.

Tonight = poor
Escala = fit
Music = okish, not really into that stuff, but theres some kind of appeal from them :tongue:

And i think even if they were in a car park their performance would still have been better, I don't get distracted by lights :joker:

Yeah I know, Sue Son and Natalie should've been put on in a few days.
We had like 4 joke acts today :/
It's pretty obvious who the producers want in as they put them at the end after everyone, and they give them a huge segment in the auditions; I did like Gareth today though, even he was surprised to get into the top 3 because of his lack of media coverage

It's one of the problems of having no result shows. It's easier to manipulate the votes. It's worked everytime except last year when George won and he was fifth performing.

DS is moaning about Shaun getting through (anotehr singer).
If they want an impact, they should have bloody voted instead of moaning!!! And even though Gareth was great, i do think Shaun did a really good job on the song.

They keep saying, "Ohh how predictable, another singer", well if thats what the public voted for!! And they keep saying "Ohh the, kid singer acts should go on the X Factor" well then that could be said about Susan!! I dont see anyone telling Susan to go to the X Factor.

Talk about double standards!

All 3 of the top 3 deserved a place in the final.

I'm quite interested to see Friday's or Thursday's show. After Shaheen tomorow there's only really one more audience favourite and that's Hollie Steel. She'll win a show but I'm interested to see the other show where there won't be any Media favourites (Except perhaps Julian Smith?).

DS would moan about Mother Theresa and Ghandi if they could though Salv

Who's on tomorrow? And personally I'm surprised they never saved Susan Boyle until Friday to build momentum of "when will she be on?" over the week

And just watching More Talent. firstly N Dubz are annoying the fook out of me, secondly just shown Shaun's performance. It started well but near the end he looked like he was having a giant poo

The Barrow Boys
Ben and Becky
Floral High Notes
Harmony
Kayode Oresanya

Tomorrow in a nutshell.

It looks like we'll be getting YET ANOTHER singer (Shaheen) and ANOTHER dance act (Ben & Becky/MD) unless Stavros is on last, then one of the top 10 most talented acts they found this year is a fat bloke and his son running about the stage

Probably give tomorrow a miss tbh

[LemonJam]

Okay, late again

DJ Talent - He's so loveable hahaha

Merlin - Just a brilliant stunt.

Hot Honeyz - A bit clumsy, I'll agree with Simon, but they are good.

Jamie Pugh - Compeltley blew it.

Mama Trish - If he did the whole Beyonce dance, I would have lolled MUCH more

Gareth - Fantastic, should've gotten through over Shaun, I LOVE how he was the underdog and got into the top 3, made me SO happy.

Shaun - Very good, but Gareth was better

Flawless - Just flawless, so tight and just simply perfect.

Once again I wasnt online while watching BGT but here are my thoughts on each performance.

DJ Talent - Loved him. Think he is really entertaining and cheesy which is always good in my eyes. He gets the crowd going, no he wasnt going to win but he opened the show well and that song is being played in clubs where I live.

Merlin - I'm never a fan of these kinda things. I dont really like the whole, lets watch someone try and escape death.. so I just thought it was stupid and boring.

Hot Honeyz - I was watching with my dad and it was just highly inappropriate, they didnt need to dance around like that with their underwear on, this is for the royal family, and although certain members of the family would love this, it wasnt appropriate I didnt think and the dance wasnt even that good.

Jamie Pugh - Actually didnt like him since I found out that he had sang before and thought he looked like he really needed to poo the whole way through it which put me off watching.

Mama Trish - Very dull and boring. He just walked around and mimed VERY badly. It was actually rubbish. He should have been dancing more lively etc.

Gareth - I thought he was brilliant and should have got through to the final, i am fed up of singers going through more, Shaun should be on XF. Gareth's perfomance was good, funny and he is really talented and he should have got through for the fact it was VARIETY!

Shaun - Good song? Yes. Good singer? Yes. But thats what XF is for.

Flawless - Was looking forward to them all night, they were fabulous and I loved them so much. I love diversity and flawless so much. I loved their dance and the whole soldier idea. It was flawless. So glad they got the most votes.

[bluehill]

really anoyed me that shaun went thru omg that is what XF is for. AND IS bgt NOT xf. the judges should of said come back for xf or somthing.
gareth was far better. :cloud::cloud::cloud::cloud::cloud::cloud:
