I knew there was something I forgot to watch last night.
And there I was, watching a program about fossils. :lol:
Because of the football, there is no BGT tonight, so you can watch more programmes about fossils :D
Ahh football! :lol:
Is BGT repeated tonight? Like on ITV2...:hmm:
Shaun Smith ('Britain's Got Talent')
Wednesday, May 27 2009, 10:40 BST
By Alex Fletcher, Senior Entertainment Reporter
Amanda Holden has described him as "big competition" for Susan Boyle, while Simon Cowell has labelled him the show's "dark horse", but can the 17-year-old singing sensation Shaun Smith really win this year's Britain's Got Talent? We caught up with the down-to-earth rugby fan to find out how whether he's confident that he's got what it takes to win the crown.
How nervous were you knowing that millions of people were about to watch you sing live on TV for the first time?
"Before the show, all that was going through my mind was the idea that one minute and 45 seconds could make or break me. Luckily, it went alright. But that was all that I could focus on in my mind and the nerves just kept building up and up. When I came onstage and saw the judges and dancers, I was petrified. When I got the first note out, I felt happier and knew it was going to be okay, so I was pretty much in my own bubble after that, as you can kind of tell when you watch it back."
The judges had made some harsh comments to contestants before you. Did that concern you?
"I had seen their comments. Jamie Pugh, who I think is an amazing bloke and an amazing singer, when he got buzzed, that shocked me. I think he's an amazing talent and I just wondered, 'what are they going to do with me?' And then there was Gareth, who I'm very good friends with now, he got buzzed. I think he's just hilarious, so I really was concerned about what the judges would do with me. I was really, really nervous. But then I just thought, 'If it goes t*ts up, it goes t*ts up. Go out and do your best'."
You seem like quite a normal guy. Do you think that will prove a hindrance against some of the more unusual acts?
"That is a problem for me. Some people haven't taken to me because I'm an X Factor candidate kinda guy. I'm a normal person, who can sing. With this competition, I don't think that I stand out as much as some of other acts. I accept that I'm just normal and I'm just really surprised how far I've gone."
You won't be taking tips from DJ Talent to spice up your act then?
"Haha! I tell you what, that tune is amazing. That tune will be the Britain's Got Talent theme tune next year. I'll have that playing out of my car, it's a fantastic tune isn't it? I thought the semi-final version was amazing."
Is your aim to sign a record contract with Simon Cowell after the show ends?
"Of course that's my obvious goal. I would love a record contract. I really, really want to win this competition now. The further I've gone, the more I've wanted it. But at the same time, I've already achieved what I set out to achieve. I've sung in front of millions of people live on TV and I don't think it gets much better than that. Not many people are lucky enough to get that opportunity. I am so over the moon about how it's all going and the only way is up."
The judges seemed surprised by your song choice. Why did you pick U2?
"The reason I chose U2 on Monday was to make it a complete change from the first round audition. A lot of people were looking at my first round video on YouTube and left comments about me being a one-trick-pony. They said that was the only song I could sing, or that I could only do one genre. So I wanted to proved that I could do something new, current and different. Anyone watching, whether it's Simon Cowell or other record companies, will have seen that I'm versatile and can move around genres with my voice."
Do you believe you have a realistic chance of beating Susan Boyle?
"I don't think that you can pre-empt anything in this competition. Everyone is extremely, extremely talented. Shaheen could be the next Susan Boyle challenger, he's an amazing talent and could go all the way. But you can't predict how anything's going to go. I might end up beating Susan Boyle, but you can't say that's whats going to happen."
There appears to be a happy atmosphere on the show with all the contestants. Do you really all get on?
"This weekend, I have had possibly the best few days of my life. Simply because I've made so many great new friends. Peter Coghlan the drag act - he's a great laugh and is so funny. He's an amazing chap and I'll tell you what... I thought his act was brilliant. It was magic. It was so funny. I was in bits backstage. Gareth is a really, really close friend now. No one here is in direct competition, which makes for a great atmosphere. There's no spitefulness and I think that's the great thing about this show. Everyone wants the best for everyone else."
How are you dealing with your new female followers?
"I have a very soundproof way of dealing with females. I say, 'I'm taken, but I have an entire rugby team of friends who are available'. They are more than happy to take the girls off my hands. My rugby team are loving all my press attention. They don't like my singing, they just like the girls."
Britain's Got Talent continues on Thursday at 8:30pm.
Piers Morgan has revealed that he is disappointed at the failure of DJ Talent to make it to this weekend's Britain's Got Talent final.
The judge wrote on his blog that the DJ's song 'I Say Britain, You Say Talent' could be a number one single, despite being rejected by the public vote.
Morgan said: "I'm distraught. Why the hell is DJ Talent not in the final? In the history of musical travesties, this is right up there with Dannii Minogue never having a No. 1 hit single in the UK.
"I don't know what more DJ could have done - he blinged himself so high, I thought he'd blind the audience."
He added: "He adapted his anthem to include shameless references to all three judges, and as for his throne and glamorous assistants, it was like watching Emperor Nero making a comeback.
"And as I said last night, if Simon doesn't want to manage him then I will. I'm that confident."
:lol: :lol:
Yes, it is, at 5 pm :)Quote:
