[Its Just Adz]

Good start so far, the illusionists are amazing.

Simon Cowell's face moves less than Amanda Holden's.

He's looked like a caricature of himself for years now. Does he seriously think nobody's noticed ?

Don't know why I'm watching. Same old scripted sentimental tosh. The young ventriloquist is talented but his patter was something from the 1980s. Get some professional help and he could make it.

What does SC look like? The last act was a cracker and certainly easy on the eye.

[Boringvolvodriver]

Let me see if i understand this one.

The programme is called Britain’s Got Talent so they have an American on who sang on the soundtrack to the Greatest Showman, has appeared on a Buble álbum and toured with Andrea Bocelli

And gets the golden buzzer to boot.

Did she decide of her own accord to apply or was she picked I wonder.

What am I missing?

[Mikebentley]

Also the French dancers.

Based on info online it appears she was also previously entered as an "applicant" for the US version of The Voice, and another US or Canadian based singing show. All of which have some form of involvment with Cowell or one of the many production, etc, companies he has rights to / in.

In fairness though, nearly all of these shows have a reasonable number of pre selected / approved "applicants" that have ties to various agencies and have done for years.

YES!! Had us shouting at the telly, she's a pro singer, of course she'll be good!

Amazes me this is still going TBH, between the waxworks 'judging' and the invited well established talent it's well well past the use-by date.

The wife was just watching this. I said 'she's good' and she told me that she sang this for the movie.
I know a lot of the acts are selected or already small scale pro's working the circuit but this felt more contrived somehow.

It feels like they really are scraping the barrel. I've definitely seen that st robot on something else, pretty sure I've seen the French dancers before and I'd be amazed if 'The Phantom' wasn't some Stephen Mulhern related nonsense, there's no way they weren't all in on that unless we're to believe ITV are just letting randoms nick stuff from the dressing room.

Just accept it for brain out entertainment. It's nice to see it back for a bit of normality after recent years. I, for one, am enjoying every minute of it, even the rubbish acts.

The rubbish acts are more entertaining!

Once the great British public get to vote, then you know that the ine with the biggest sob story will win- it stops being any pretence of a talent show but a popularity contest.

Remember the singing Chelsea Pensioner that won a few years ago as an example.

[BossHogg]

He brought a patriotic tear to everyone's eyes with his sob story though, being a veteran myself, I voted for him.

[Geffg]

Didn’t David Walliams notice his keys missing for a few days like we were meant to believe? The guy who didn’t know he was gonna be singing for some reason had his words written down when he got up onstage; would he normally carry them with him.
But after all that it’s a bit of light hearted entertainment.

[Oakey]

It looks like BGT, but it doesn't feel like it? It sort of feels 'off'.

[cuprabob]

I can't believe SC gave his golden buzzer to that comedian. I appreciate humour is subjective but he just wasn't funny.

Me too. He was very ordinary - I think his personality got the panel carried away.

[DSLiverpool]

It’s so blatant (the set up) they no longer try to hide anything. I hate being taken for such a moron but watch anyway.

I think with the singer, we are to assume his family brought the words with them, seeing as they had "set him up"

The magic Mike singer, no one knew who she was but thats a set up too.

Everyone watches it now to pull it to bits.

Just dont get drawn in to it i guess.

The ghost one with Amanda im defo having a guess its that X bloke, this will be his 3rd time on too if it is.
