Judging by tonights effort it would appear that Britain HAS'NT got talent.
Oh Alan it was funny that woman doing a strip at the end, can you imagine if she gets through to the live shows. Susan Boyle an amazing voice none of the judges were expecting that. Flawless brilliant and the greek father and son act were cracking.
i loved those two, it was so endearngly naff! it really looked like they'd practiced it in the front room at home, well done to them for just giving it a a go!Quote:

Simon Cowell is willing to take a pay cut to stay with cash-strapped ITV.
Cowell, 49, whose Britain’s Got Talent returns tonight, said he is more interested in making quality TV than money.
His current deal is worth about £20million over three years. But he said: “It isn’t about how much I can squeeze out of them. All I worry about is ‘Can we make a better show than last year?’ I don’t believe in making the quality go down.” Cowell ended months of speculation yesterday by confirming he intends to stay with ITV when his contract expires in December.
He said: “I have a brilliant relationship with ITV and they have been very kind to me. I will never forget the fact that without ITV we would not have launched our shows initially. So as far as I am concerned I still owe them a debt.”
It is thought ITV’s top stars will be asked to accept salary cuts of about 20 per cent a year as the channel tries to cope with a worrying slump in advertising revenue.
For Cowell that would mean around £4million less from a three-year deal. But he said he would take a cut, adding: “My main concern is the shows we make and making sure they can afford to be made.”
The Mirror revealed last month that Ant and Dec, close friends of Cowell’s, were also willing to take a pay cut. Ant said: “It’s a tough time for everyone right now.
“If we’re offered less, so be it. For me it’s all about the shows.
“I just want to make great shows and brilliant programmes and money comes after that.”
I reckon they can still afford to live after this pay cut but it is good news if the shows continue to be shown
I thought it was a wonderful show - it really kept me entertained. I thought the guy that was going to blow up the water bottle was going to be rubbish but he was surprisingly good! :o
The guy with the Ferrero Rochers - why on earth would the Queen want to watch that?! Totally bizarre :confused:
Susan Boyle and Flawless were amazing.
Fabia made me laugh but I don't think what she has is a talent. I don't know how she got through to be honest.
Cos they couldnt take their eyes off her :lol:Quote:

Thought it was great father and Son just really good :)
Also that old guy! dancing awww bless him
And I love Ant and Dec they were so funny
And when simon said: hes gonna pay for that
I was just laughin my head off! :lol:
Im so glad this is back :) I like the fact its variety - its different to Xfactor and i like that :D
Greek dancers, flawless and Susan Boyle were all ace :D Susan suprised me - i was expecting her to be rubbish and screechy and to be buzzed off, but no, She really was amazing :D
I love this show but i really don't think singing should be allowed because we have xfactor for that.
The guy who danced like a tree was funny though and the greek father/son act was good, didn't think much of the chocolate eating guy, it isn't a talent, all humans can eat :lol:
i sometimes think that, but the people who get through are usually different to what you get on the x-factor. the woman doing show tunes or paul potts singing opera is very different to the teenagers and young 'uns trying to be cool on x-factor.Quote:

VIRGIN Susan Boyle’s BGT audition has been viewed 1.3MILLION times on YouTube — and now she’s getting offers from America.
Simon Cowell will give her a record deal whether she wins the show or not.
And single Susan — who admits she’s never been kissed — hopes her new-found fame will finally snare her a fella.
The strict Catholic wowed judges on Saturday’s show with a rendition of Les Misérables hit I Dreamed A Dream.
Radio stations and newspapers from the US to Australia viewed the clip online and are now lining up to talk to her.
When we told of her worldwide YouTube success, the community volunteer, 47, said: “Over a million? That’s incredible, it’s just fantastic.
“I can’t believe all of this, but I suppose it will sink in eventually. I had no idea the show was a worldwide thing.
“I never dreamed of reaching that many people. I am very flattered.”
Simon has first dibs on which acts he signs to label Sony BMG — and fellow judge Piers Morgan reckons he wants to turn Susan into the next Paul Potts.
The opera-singing ex-Carphone Warehouse salesman has made £6million since winning the 2007 series and getting similar YouTube fame.
Piers, 44, said: “As I watched Susan’s performance back, I texted Simon in Hollywood: ‘My god, she was even better than I remembered — she’s unbelievable’.
“He agreed, and I could feel his beady eyes going ‘kerching!’.
“For, unless I am a brainless aardvark, then this West Lothian villager is going to sell a lot of records.”
Susan says her village of Blackburn is wishing her well.
She hopes the show will help her find love — and admits taking a shine to Piers.
She added: “I don’t intend to be alone for long.”
We will see and hear a lot more from her, I am sure.
Aw bless I hope Susan does really well after BGT finishes I just hope she is not exploited by the media.
Singer Susan Boyle has complained that she looked overweight on the first episode of the new series of Britain's Got Talent.
The 48-year-old from West Lothian told The Mirror that she was not happy with her appearance when she watched the show in her council home.
Boyle said: "They say that television makes you look fat and it certainly did.
"I looked like a garage. It was mortifying to see and a bit of a shock. I didn't realise I could reduce people to tears and I hope it wasn't because of that."
She added: "I'm proud to be part of the show. It really is a dream come true. Everyone is very nice and it's lovely when all the kids stop me in the street to congratulate me."
Boyle sang Les Miserables number 'I Dreamed A Dream' on the programme, which was watched by an average 10.52 million viewers, the highest of any show on Easter Saturday.
I did not think she was fat. :nono: I wonder whether she is going to change her hairdresser now though :)
love watching ant and dec their so funny
A 47-year-old church volunteer from West Lothian has become an unlikely overnight singing sensation with millions watching her perform online.
Susan Boyle, from Blackburn, stunned judges on ITV's Britain's Got Talent with her performance of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables on Saturday.
Since then Hollywood actress Demi Moore has joined the legions of fans who have voiced their support on the internet.
Ms Boyle has now become the bookies' favourite to win the talent show.
Ms Boyle, who told viewers she had "never been kissed", said she had always wanted to be a singer.
She said: "I entered the competition because I wanted to have a chance at my singing.
"I found it very nerve-wracking to begin with but once I settled down and began to sing, I thought that the audience accepted me a bit more. Then I sort of relaxed and began to enjoy it.
Ms Boyle, who is currently unemployed, is a keen church-goer and community worker who is well-known for her Karaoke performances.
She said: "It all began for me at age 12, when I used to sing in choirs and school concerts. Then after that when I got older I was singing in clubs."
Her performance on Saturday has received more than 5m hits on You Tube.
Among those who have clicked to watch are Ghost star Demi Moore and her husband Ashton Kutcher.
Her entry read: "You saw it made me teary! RT @aplusk: this just made my night. http://digg.com/d1oVwl"
After her audition performance at Glasgow's Clyde Auditorium Ms Boyle is now tipped to beat 75,000 other applicants to the Britain's Got Talent prize, a chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
i didnt see Fabia on Saturday, must have been out of room! just saw her and omg :sick: why do they think the queen wants to see that!? what's she gonna do in the next round, get her flange out!? :nono:

OMG! I keep hearing about Susan Boyle, shes like on msn.com homepage, everyone is liked wowed by her
I always find it difficult about singers I know we have the X factor, but I know the X factor isnt for all types of singers and thats why this show is great for them and of different ages but ....
well a singer one, a solo dancer won
I would either like to see a group dance win or a completely diffrerent variety act win next
It is a Vairety show they are going on to, which is always packed with singers, when was the last time that something really different was on it
TEENAGE soprano Elliot Evans could see his Britain’s Got Talent dream wrecked — after his voice broke.
The 13-year-old’s high-pitched warbling helped his family band Good Evans win a standing ovation on ITV’s launch show last week.
But that was recorded weeks ago — and for the last fortnight he’s been a baritone.
Mum Estelle said: “Elliot's voice started to get a bit croaky, then all of a sudden it dropped. At first he couldn’t sing at all. But then he got his voice back — a lot lower.
“We started practising our next number Oh Happy Day but he couldn’t hit the high notes. It’s a shame as we had a great routine.
“We’ve had to change it now.”
Viewers saw Simon Cowell heap praise on the schoolboy and even suggest he ditch Estelle, dad Giles and sisters Georgia and Olivia to go solo.
Their impressive version of the hit I’ll Be There sent them through to the next round.
FORMER Britain’s Got Talent star Faryl Smith, 13, says boy dancers Flawless are her favourite act so far this year. Faryl snubbed Simon Cowell’s offer of a record deal so she could remain a classical singer.
That is a shame, he really sounded so good :( Hope they can get a lot further still though
FABIA Cerra’s burlesque strip has landed Britain’s Got Talent in hot water with Ofcom.
The telly watchdog is considering whether to investigate the ITV1 show after receiving about 40 complaints from shocked viewers when the dancer revealed her curves wearing just a basque and stockings.
During her routine Fabia, 35, unveiled her huge breasts which were covered by tiny red nipple tassels – one of which fell off midway through her performance.
Her giant assets were covered by flags digitally added to the show before it aired on Saturday night.
Loud-mouthed judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden were left speechless by her raunchy act.
All three put her through to the next round, with Piers exclaiming: “You are my kind of woman."
It’s now thought the show could have breached the broadcasting code over taste and decency.
But ITV has defended its decision to air the audition.
A spokesman said: “Fabia's performance was given careful consideration by ITV, the producers Talkback Thames and compliance licensee Channel Television.
"As a result, the segment was edited in order to obscure any inappropriate detail and it was felt that the overall effect was comedic rather than titillating."
You could not see anything, fgs, what are they on about? Have they not got a sense of humour :confused:
Billing it as "Susan Sings For America," CBS' Early Show interviewed Scottish instant-singing-sensation Susan Boyle this morning. The 47 year-old sang an a capella version of "I Dreamed a Dream" via satellite from her hometown of Blackburn, Scotland. It was, of course, lovely.
Dressed in a simple white dress, Boyle was as charming as she seemed on Britain's Got Talent. "The ones who were mean to me, are now nice to me," she said referring to skeptics who didn't think a person not as glamorously packaged as your average pop star could wow audiences with pure ability and emotion.
In an interesting touch, the Early Show had Patti LuPone, who originated the performance of "Dream" in Les Miserables, on the phone to offer both emotional and technical praise to Boyle. LuPone talking about how "difficult" the song is to sing, "especially at the end," referring to its rafter-shaking climax. LuPone congratulated Boyle on her "pluck." Asked by co-host Harry Smith what LuPone's compliments meant to her, Boyle said simply, "That'll do."
It is exactly that simplicity and directness that has helped to melt away any cynicism and irony that usually attaches to an instant pop phenomenon. Smith and co-host Maggie Rodriguez had to ask inevitable questions such as "Do you understand" that instant fame, and "Where did the courage come from?"
Boyle said her determination to enter the British TV competition, and her performance, was "a tribute to my mother," with whom Boyle lived until she died recently.
Once again, there was talk -- among the hosts, and by LuPone -- of crying at witnessing Boyle's unadorned, powerful talent. And once again, everyone seemed to be speaking from the heart. Most of all Susan Boyle herself.

She is famous in the US now also :eek:
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were twittering about Susan Boyle :p
*Fabia - I didn't find it hilarious or anything at all, horrible even though the flags were there IMO. :sick:
*Flawless - Amazing! Would like to see them in the final. Similar to last year's Flava and *it will come to me - shall edit then!* but still as stunning! :cheer:
*Elliot (family group)- Amazing voice, would like to see him go solo though tbh..
*Susan Boyle - Wow.. That was a shocker :lol: Loved how everyone's faces just dropped!
*Father&son act - Was I the only one who didn't find this funny? I sort of smiled but I didn't think it was anything hilarious? Good on them though!
*The swaying/tree man - Now that was hilarious teamed up with Ant & Dec :rotfl:
If anyone was offended by Fabia they should have turned over no-one was forced to watch it. All these doo-gooders need to get a life.
susan boyle fabulous i think agnelli and nelson could do something with that tune....mix it up boyz:thumbsup:
BRITAIN’S Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle has been asked to appear on Oprah Winfrey’s show — setting her up for a huge US career.
The 48-year-old has become a worldwide phenomenon — with her performance on the ITV1 hit viewed more than 12 million times on website YouTube.
Susan was filmed for a string of US TV shows yesterday — joking around singing into a brush at home in Blackburn, Scotland.
And when told of the offer from chat show giant Oprah, the warbler said: “Wow! Put me down for it. I’m shaking!”
BGT judge Simon Cowell, 49, said later: “If she went on Oprah I think there’s every chance Susan will have the number one album in America.” Susan is favourite after singing I Dreamed A Dream from musical Les Miserables.
But BGT judge Amanda Holden, 38, vowed not to “spoil” her with a makeover.
She said: “I won’t let Simon make her go to his dentist and I certainly won’t be letting her go to his hairdresser.
“I think she needs to stay exactly as she is because that’s the reason we love her.
“The minute we spoil her by turning her into a glamourpuss is going to be when it’s spoilt.”
But when asked about a makeover, Susan told one US show: “I’d like that!”
From The Sun
This is just the 1st show.. it is won already???? she is now so famous around the country and the world that she is going to get the votes to win and we haven't seen everyone yet
Hmm.. she might have peaked too soon. But the way she's turned into a star in less than a week is absolutely incredible.
if she gets signed up now she will probably pull outQuote:

Simon Cowell has reportedly predicted that a young Britain's Got Talent star could challenge Susan Boyle's chances of winning the show.
Shaheen Jafargholi, 12, received a standing ovation from the audience and praise from the judges when he auditioned for the ITV1 series.
Jafargholi originally attempted to impress the panel with a performance of The Zutons' song 'Valerie', but switched to Michael Jackson's 'Who's Loving You' following encouragement from Cowell. The scenes will be broadcast in tonight's episode.
Cowell has already publicly dismissed claims that this year's result is a foregone conclusion following Boyle's international exposure.
An insider told the Daily Star: "Everyone is obsessed with Susan, but this lad is great and Simon thinks he could be her rival. It's not a one-horse race just yet."
The source added: "The Jacko song was perfect and Shaheen is another act who could make the final."
That guy who played the sax was amazing but how funny was the guy dressed as Darth Vadar.
I second that.. Was quite dissapointed with last night's episode actually.. Nothing really wow'ed me?!:searchme:Quote:
