BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT REVISITED

The dancers are doing it on that talent show. You know the one? I don’t have to give them a plug again do I? Oh all right then: BRITAIN HAS GOT TALENT It has you know. This week I saw not only another brilliant youth street dance troup but an absolutely brilliant young Scottish plumber who came out onto the stage like a mouse and roared with a voice like a LION. And my dears.... What a lion rendition he gave. Clear crystal tones with a hint of sultry under tones wafting through the big notes. The boy was good. I don’t think he will be a plumber for very much longer because regardless of whether he wins this talent contest or not, He’s got a massive future ahead of him and I know we will be hearing more from this young man over the coming years.
So you know what? I’m gonna stop being snobby about this show and celebrate the really great talent that is showcasing on this expose and laugh in the spirit of things at the way you are meant to with these things, at the ones who are downright hopeless but brave, the ones who are performers but not quite up to scratch and sympathise with those few who just missed the cut because the competition was just too good for them.

So I can only mention acts from the three shows I’ve seen and say good luck signature
Good luck the girl with the really, really clever dog whose act you have to see to believe.
Good luck the Michael Jackson lookalike dancer and his Sikh sidekick
Good luck the failed footballer with the amazing ball control skills
Good luck the dramatic Actor/singer who refused t be put off when Cowell told him that the piece he had chosen to do was the one piece that he Simon hated most in the whole wide world. The audience was aghast. Simon’s fellow panellists rebelled and interceded to give the poor guy another chance as he had not prepared anything else. The music was reset and starting from scratch this 18 year old went on to perform exactly the same piece and deliver a tour-de-force performance with the commitment and passion that had the audience stomping, shouting, standing and cheering in the stalls and galleries. It was nothing less than rapture in the house. Simon very graciously put his hands up and admitted that his performance was so dynamic that he was without question more than likely the find of the series.
Good luck Charlie Green.
Good luck to everyone who has got through to the semi finals and may the best act prevail.

Nice one Britons You got Talent.

The prize is to perform on stage at the Royal Albert hall in the presence of HRH Charlie Prince of Wales
