Britain's Got Talent - 2008

Enforced attendance of the Royal Variety Performance is the one single thing that makes me feel sorry for the royal family. This is just one extra turn of the screw.

That extended exhibition of canophilia was rather unsettling.

"Cause, a singer is only a singer, me boy, but a dancing dog is a..."

Everyone knows that a dog with clothes is still a dog.

dog had no clothes.

THAT'S NOT THE POINT

Here is a kitten on a clothes line.

I HATE kittens.

So you'll love "Cheeky Monkeys" then.

I guess the Operation Ore lot will have been recording the numbers of everyone who rang in to vote for "Cheeky Monkeys."

Not that I give a toss about BGT in the wider scheme of things but children ought to be banned from the show, not just on Larkin/Minipops "it only encourages them" grounds but also because far better acts get nudged out by the grannies' aw diddums votes.

dogs, kids, whatever next?

I suspect the final winner will be strangely Cowell Marketable.

(i.e. not Dance Troupe, Dog, children, jugglers, magicians, comedians, mmmm who does that leave? Some singery thingy)

Kind of undermines the concept of the show, i.e. Not The X-Factor, if they just let singers win, but maybe Cowell didn't realise that before thinking about how to make a buck out of the proceeds.

I dunno, I just had my suspicions after last years Paul Potts beating the lil girl last year. Oh, and the vent who actually came second.

Heck, if they can give A&D the phone-in-vote prize over CathTate on a whim, they can do owt. Or can they? would it be suicide to try it again?

I would still put my house up on that they knew Rhydian wasn't the winner before the drumroll keith final announcement.

that kid wot got bullied will win innit. sob story + singing = album sales

Why don't they just bring out different kids with sandwich boards consisting of sob stories hung round their necks then they can stand onstage and people can vote for them depending on how properly they cry if that's all it takes? It'll be 1821 all over again!

because people like to be made to feel they are making choices out of their own will and to have the illusion that their 'compassion' isn't simply forced upon them?

*insert Patrick McGoohan quote of your choice*

be seeing you?

seeing you be!

sorry that's Bruce Forsyth

Brucie would have been GREBT in "Fall Out"!

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we are here to discuss the question of revolt, the question of revolt we are here to..."

"DISCUSS!"

"You get nothing for a number 48 - NOT IN THIS GAME!"

"Number 2?"

"Higher, higher, lower, lower!"

"That Number 6 - didn't he do well? Numbers make points and what do points make?"

Should have been Signature.

yeah.

Lad good though. At least, it's not opera/classical/SCowell fodder.

Any of us could have won it, if jumping in a puddle was all that was required.

But yet again the public proves that all they want is children crying.

B-b-but Little George Sampson has DEFIED DOCTORS to dance, as he has a rare SPINE DISEASE.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1023557/Britains-Got-Talent-winner-risks-crippled-dance-routines-rare-spine-disease.html

As the late Tommy Cooper used to quip: "I went to the doctor and said doctor when I put my arm up like this it hurts. He said well don't do it then."

At least George Sampson has used dancing to stop him falling for the evils of suicide cult "Emos"

It's a shame that he only has six weeks to live says sister.

Stop with the stories!

It's OK, kid! You passed won!

It was totally unfair on Escada, the Shed 7 to Bond's Cast.

So, what d'ya think about Susan Boyle?

my gay cousin loves her

LOLz

you'd have thunk the mother of a well known break dancer would have known to 'shred it up'

So, wuz me and Ding the "Alas Smith and Jones" of last year?

(ok, ok ...)

this is the winner of ukraine's got talent - it's pretty incredible

why yes it is depressing if you try to imagine her on britain's got talent

This years winner, a so-so magician that ramped up their Forces credentials.

I sigh, and then I cry, and wonder why?

Better than another dancing dog act.

I should have had a bet on the Chelsea Pensioner, had him pegged as a winner after the semis.

A ton better than the ex-polis with the comatose mind-reading dog that ramped up the force credentials and didn't bring on any puppies this time.
