Plus C2C’s The Beat for coming soon montages

I don't think I recognise that one actually!

'High Hopes' by Panic! at the Disco is another one I've noticed lately though.

Yep!

They've used Take That's Greatest Day for the golden buzzer moment three times. Ain't No Mountain High Enough three times, Fix You (Coldplay) twice, You Are the Reason twice etc.

They like Lauren Daigle's 'You Say' as well!

Bit of a mix tonight. I just knew that GB would get complaints from people who take the show too seriously with the "waste of a Golden Buzzer" thing, but he was fun.

The couple who closed the show would have been my pick though.

I like when funny acts like that get the Golden Buzzer laugh.gif entertaining people is still a very hard talent that a lot of people would struggle with. I felt the same about Viggo Venn last year. There's no way an Average Joe could win over the public like he did.

I still think they should've just stuck to the 5 Golden Buzzers though.

I’ve finally caught up on the latest episode - I think Denise & Stefan are the most likely winners so far.

Could be - although it's been a few years since we've had a winner with a backstory like theirs so let's see if that trend continues!

Not sure what to think of that final act tonight laugh.gif

Blitzers seem to be reasonably popular in Korea! Almost half a million Insta followers and a Top 10 album there.

I'm not sure how I feel about that, I guess it would be like Caity Baser auditioning for Korea's Got Talent? (trying to think of a recent-ish mid-sized popstar haha that's fairly popular on social media).

Good episode. I liked the comedian and the magic act. The opera singer, I just knew would be a bit bonkers.

I struggle to connect emotionally with dance acts but I knew Bruno would go for that. They're good at what they do.

Yeah. There’s always several dance acts with loads of kids on stage each year, and this one didn’t feel much different. I can’t see them getting to the final.

It’s like Simon’s/the producers’ knowledge of current music died when X Factor did. laugh.gif

I mean, I probably wouldn't expect the likes of WAP or Unholy to be used as backing music. biggrin.gif

I’m surprised they aren’t playing Houdini during the magic acts. laugh.gif

There’s been plenty of other songs released!

That being said, I think they could get away with Unholy’s instrumental during a creepy act perhaps.

I was going for the most unlikely, at least in terms of lyrics. biggrin.gif

Any thoughts on who we could see winning? Of the sixteen winners:

4 comedy acts
4 singing acts
2 dog acts
2 dance acts
1 magician
1 musician
1 shadow theatre group
1 gymnastics troupe

You could argue that we had 5 singing acts if you wish to include Jon Courtenay, but yeah.

Standard of act is more important to me than variety, but it's interesting that of the last five winners, four have been comedy acts. It wasn't until series 4 that a comedy act made the final, and series 7 until one made the top 3.

I'd be open to someone like Innocent Masuku or Sydnie Christmas winning, if the public decides that they'd like a singer this year.

It's always so hard to predict who will click with the public! I was wondering whether a solo child act would take it this year after two runners-up in a row but there haven't really been any interestingly enough. Maybe it's time for another magician to win?

It's interesting that we've only had one solo child winner, and that was back in 2008. No solo female winner either, they've either been part of a group or accompanied by a dog.

I'd welcome a good magician winning. It's interesting with Richard Jones because I think he is a good magician but the routine in the final was his weakest.

I wouldn't mind if a really good singer won. I don't think a danger act will ever win because they can be very "seen it once, seen it all".

Tonight was good, I did like the GB act. I thought they were too similar to Billy and Emily until the sparks came on.

As for Ace, I think his voice is very much an acquired taste though he is likeable. I think if he was in the live shows, he'd be swallowed up by the bigger vocalists already through.

The returning magicians at the end - I'm not sure what went on there. It was a bizarrely sudden ending which makes me think that they're not actually competing.
