On April 15th, Ant and Dec return to present the next series of Britain's Got Talent along with judging panel Simon, Amanda, Alesha and David to see who will be the next act to take to the stage at The Royal Variety Performance.
Posted by: Jade 🐱 7th April 2017, 12:25 AM
Hyped for this!
I don't watch much TV but BGT is one of those shows that I have followed since the very start. May not be quite up there with the peak of 2008/09 but still enjoyable.
Posted by: Mack 10th April 2017, 11:50 AM
More guaranteed thing about will happen in BGT is that David will put an novelty act through as his 'Golden Buzzer' act.
Posted by: PeteFromCats 11th April 2017, 04:42 PM
Great to see this back! Would love some help in the http://bgt.wikia.com/wiki/Home, especially by posting in the http://bgt.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:3906 which is always dead
Posted by: Lieowstic🐱 11th April 2017, 04:58 PM
The most guaranteed thing is that the whole thing will be shite
Posted by: PeteFromCats 11th April 2017, 05:07 PM
I would love to see a non-child act get a decent sized hit from BGT though (The Neales Fathers' Day joke doesn't count 
), Wayne Woodward has released some really good music but none of it has had any sort of push 
Posted by: Lieowstic🐱 11th April 2017, 05:08 PM
Calum Scott (sadly) has had a million seller 
Posted by: PeteFromCats 11th April 2017, 05:09 PM
The fact I'd already forgotten that says something about the song
Posted by: Lieowstic🐱 11th April 2017, 05:12 PM
I wish I could forget 
Posted by: Ryan. 14th April 2017, 01:59 AM
I'm not that excited for this this time round, I think I may just tune in for semi-finals week unless there's nothing else to do!
Posted by: PeteFromCats 14th April 2017, 06:30 PM
Two of tomorrow's acts have been 'previewed' on the BGT YouTube channel - impressionist Jess Robinson and wacky Dutch magician Niels Harder
Have to say, I bet Niels will be the first act to be shown - that award has most recently gone to awful singer Vitaly Voronko and comb-player Narinder Dhani, both of whom a) weren't British, b) were dreadful and c) made the semi-finals.
Posted by: Mack 15th April 2017, 01:42 PM
I believe an act has been cut from a 8 year-old comedian calling Amanda a 'dog' as part of a joke.
Posted by: Dobbo 15th April 2017, 06:46 PM
Usually look forward to this but I'm so apathetic this time round, just seems like there's nothing new or exciting an act can do anymore & it's just rehashes of the same thing over and over.
Posted by: PeteFromCats 15th April 2017, 07:26 PM
Who are these two random kids they keep showing 
not funny.
Posted by: Sabrina. 15th April 2017, 07:28 PM
This show really is tedious
Posted by: PeteFromCats 15th April 2017, 07:55 PM
The Missing People's Choir was inspirational, I highly doubt they'll be in the semi-finals though.
Posted by: Suedehead2 15th April 2017, 08:21 PM
The cynic in me says that it depends on when the decision is made. If they haven't yet made the final pick and somebody provides some information about one of the missing people, they'll be back.
Posted by: Lieowstic🐱 15th April 2017, 08:28 PM
Ended up watching this becasue Saturday night TV is SO horrendous, jesus H Christ this girl singing And I Am Telling You is INCREDIBLE 
Also loved the daddy mind reader magicians, I adore that kind of thing and can never see how they do it!!
Posted by: lewistgreen 15th April 2017, 09:22 PM
Best act of the night for me hands down
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 15th April 2017, 09:58 PM
I didn't really enjoy the last girl actually, that song has been done to death and much better than she did too, it was pretty average
The mind reader magicians were excellent though, really excited about what they'll do next.
Posted by: Lieowstic🐱 15th April 2017, 10:13 PM
I found the missing people choir dull af, it's ofc tragic all their family members etc are missing but it's Britains Got TALENT not Surprise Surprise. They were a nice enough pleasant choir but not my thing at all. I can't and won't slate missing people getting awareness and that maybe people could be find through the act but I hope they dont'cruise to the win or top 5 or whatever just because it's a good cause.
Posted by: jase. 15th April 2017, 10:13 PM
The singer was alright, she just really oversang the song
Posted by: Suedehead2 15th April 2017, 10:49 PM
They've had some great choirs on the show over the years. I would agree that this wasn't one of them. That's why I think they will only get through if there is a chance of helping the members' search for information.
Posted by: RobBob 16th April 2017, 12:51 AM
I'm not even one for sob stories but I'll admit that I cried at the Missing Choir, really really poignant.
Posted by: Jonjo 16th April 2017, 10:53 AM
The 8 year old spilling the tea though... *.*
SAVAGE INDEED!
Posted by: PeteFromCats 16th April 2017, 11:08 AM
I've seen there's been a little controversy over the 8 year-old calling Amanda a dog. I don't really see why - I could have easily called her that age 8 and if someone 20 years older had said that they wouldn't be laughing.
Posted by: common sense 16th April 2017, 04:19 PM
According to the papers Amanda had stern words with his parents about it afterwards.
Posted by: common sense 16th April 2017, 04:21 PM
Simon Cowell thinks they will win the show. I see the McCanns are latching on to them so maybe that will put some people off voting for them!
Posted by: common sense 16th April 2017, 04:23 PM
I,along with others I've spoken to today, thought she was never going to stop. Thought they had a certain amount of time each. A big song to attempt though.
Posted by: Suedehead2 16th April 2017, 10:00 PM
It wasn't just me then. It certainly felt like it went on for a long time.
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 16th April 2017, 10:01 PM
I was thinking it'd never end also
Posted by: Mack 16th April 2017, 10:14 PM
The singer at the end had more time than the allotted time you are meant to have for the audition. Surely you can't sound like that without a bit of professional help.......... Just saying is all.
Posted by: Rooney 16th April 2017, 11:47 PM
The McCanns are part of the choir. They have purposely distanced themselves from appearing.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 22nd April 2017, 07:24 PM
Why do they seem so surprised at someone else being called Simon Cowell auditioning? Wasn't there one a few years back?
Posted by: Mack 24th April 2017, 10:21 PM
Am I the only one who thought Alesha's golden buzzer was dull?
Posted by: Suedehead2 24th April 2017, 10:48 PM
No. I thought they were very ordinary.
Posted by: Liаm 24th April 2017, 11:38 PM
2 for 2 Golden Buzzers being somewhat of a sob story, I think it was only a sort of "aw bless her she's so happy to dance isn't she nice" sort of way for the girl who was on about scoliosis. They were good but I saw better dancers of that sort of style in my friend's dance show at uni the other week
Posted by: Jade 25th April 2017, 01:28 AM
The 8-year-old magician and the dancers Gao & Liu were my highlights of this weekend's show! Pleased to see a couple of GOOD magic acts already this year, following in the footsteps of last year's winner.
I was expecting something AMAZING to be coming from that guy setting the ladder on fire. Lmaaaao at that being the entire act :')
WTF was that Johnny Awsum thing.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 25th April 2017, 01:02 PM
No offence but as soon as she revealed she has scoliosis I KNEW they were getting the Golden Just so predictable.
Posted by: Dobbo 25th April 2017, 06:31 PM
They'll most certainly have to change their act's name by the time the Semis come around too.
Posted by: Mack 27th April 2017, 12:37 PM
What is the weirdest act you've seen on Britain's Got Talent?
For me it would be the Humpty Dumpty woman.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 27th April 2017, 03:24 PM
Definitely the guy who farted to music
Posted by: Dobbo 27th April 2017, 06:22 PM
Has to be this guy for me:
Posted by: Mack 29th April 2017, 07:29 PM
The second time there has been a world record on Britain's Got Talent. Well done Ryan.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 29th April 2017, 07:38 PM
Not watched tonight's episode yet but didn't that balloon-popping dog break a world record a year or so ago?
Posted by: Mack 29th April 2017, 07:44 PM
Yes, Cally The Wonder Dog did break a world record back in 2015.
Posted by: Dobbo 29th April 2017, 07:47 PM
The best World Record attempt on BGT was the Ferrero Rocher guy
Posted by: Jade 29th April 2017, 07:55 PM
Loved that last guy, I am just a total sucker for the piano 
the bollywood group earlier on were fun and that golden buzzer guy made me laugh. Some good talent tonight!
!
when even Ant did a better job than him *_*
Posted by: Mack 29th April 2017, 08:00 PM
And he did a After Eight challenge a couple of years later.
Posted by: Liаm 29th April 2017, 09:04 PM
I caught the comedian guy bc my friend sent me the Youtube saying I "have to watch it", he was bloody hilarious
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 1st May 2017, 12:06 PM
The comedian was my favourite so far, he was excellent
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 1st May 2017, 06:32 PM
Really liked the comedian, was not seeing a golden coming though! 
Didn't care much for the kiddies choir though, it all seemed a little too 'perfect'
Posted by: Mack 6th May 2017, 07:21 PM
A children's choir bound to go through...... With Pitch whatever they are.
Posted by: Mack 6th May 2017, 07:23 PM
And....... Surprise surprise they did so predictable.
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 6th May 2017, 07:32 PM
Big iTunes boost for Gravity by Sara Bareilles please 
Posted by: Mack 6th May 2017, 07:36 PM
Hoping yes 'Gravity' can have a boost.
Finally a bad audition.
Posted by: Dobbo 6th May 2017, 07:45 PM
That contortion group were by far & away the most impressive audition on this series so far.
Probably another series where my fave act aren't British
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 6th May 2017, 08:22 PM
Here's my mini-prediction list
Jay Wynn: He'll get to the semi purely so they can give him 4 buzzes
The Boys: We won't see tham again
Martin & Faye: Low placing in the semis
Perfet Pitch Creation: Finish 4th or 5th in semis, or we'll never see them again
Grace & Ali: Last in final
Irshad Shaikh: This year's Jenson Zhu - he'll be deliberately bad in the semi but won't touch the Final
Angara Contortion Group:Last-in-semi fodder
Harry Gardner: He'll sing a different song in the semis and scrape through to the final where he'll sing this again
John Parnell: Either gets sent home in next round or 3 buzzes in semi
Dizzy Twilight: 
Anyway, another for last in semi methinks
Posted by: Suedehead2 6th May 2017, 09:03 PM
Another prediction - the mother and daughter (who were awful) will turn up at another audition and will do a lot better.
Posted by: Mack 7th May 2017, 05:58 PM
I've seen less bad auditions than usual in the last couple of weeks.
Posted by: Mack 7th May 2017, 09:24 PM
Did the actor who played Robbie Roscoe in Hollyoaks take part in this show as a comedian in 2008 as a youngster? I'm sure he did.
Posted by: Liаm 7th May 2017, 09:26 PM
All I caught this week was that DJ woman 
Queen x
Yep
Posted by: Liаm 14th May 2017, 01:43 AM
Wtf was that idiot who got And and Dec's golden buzzer..... Didn't find him funny at all and the magic trick wasn't that particularly mind blowing
Posted by: Suedehead2 14th May 2017, 09:55 AM
He was quite funny but I'm not sure how much more he has to offer. I suppose the golden buzzer gives him longer to prepare something for the semi-final (even if, in reality, it's only a matter of days).
Posted by: Mack 17th May 2017, 07:23 PM
David Watson tried and failed on his 7th BGT audition.
The magician was too Lee Evans for me.
That dance group with the 15 year old was very uncomfortable to watch.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 18th May 2017, 08:26 PM
How many choirs this series?!
I too wasn't that keen on the magician, he was a nice fellow and I'm glad he got the golden, I just didn't really love his performance
Posted by: Ryan. 19th May 2017, 07:34 PM
Right I haven't watched barely any of this series but I SWEAR I saw actual Destiny Chukunyere belting out Freedom in the preview advert of tomorrow's episode?
Posted by: Liаm 19th May 2017, 10:44 PM
OMG IT WAS I THINK !!!
Posted by: Ryan. 19th May 2017, 11:13 PM
It's officially her as confirmed by spoilers released at midnight!!!
Posted by: Klaus 19th May 2017, 11:36 PM
WAIT WHAT?!?!!! IS SHE ACTUALLY AUDITIONING OMG. 
Posted by: Liаm 19th May 2017, 11:41 PM
QUEEN GOLDEN BUZZER PLZ
Posted by: mdh 20th May 2017, 07:48 PM
Why are they putting mediocre singers through yet they snubbed a brilliant dancer that brings something totally different to the table.
Awful.
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 20th May 2017, 07:51 PM
Awful.
I really don't think he did bring anything different sadly
he's talented but that kinda act, we've seen it time and time again on BGT. Same goes for the opera kids and choirs tbf, I think the same of them, but I'm glad they didn't lie to the dancer guy!The magician before was excellent though
I mean I don't want to think about how he learned to do that but it was gripping and exciting!
Posted by: Mack 20th May 2017, 08:20 PM
Probably the most sensible golden buzzer act David has put through.
That cocky dance guy who plagiarized Aidan Davis dance moves was so sure he was going through.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 20th May 2017, 08:28 PM
The dancer wasn't amazing unfortunately Seen that sort of stuff LOTS before
Posted by: Suedehead2 20th May 2017, 09:10 PM
Yes, the dancer was good but he needed a better routine. The magician was seriously weird 
Posted by: Liаm 20th May 2017, 11:32 PM
He was fit but that dancer was so cliche, it's about time they stop spaffing over all the same stuff It was a bit harsh though for them to just do it to him and in the same episode go mad over a young male singer singing one of the most obvious talent show songs and sounded like he was singing with 3 dicks in his mouth, his diction was so offputting!
I thought Destiny and the opera girl were fab but the former is so clearly 7th in the semi fodder lmao, and again neither were anything unique.

Thought it was just who was thinking that when he sang, the young male singer sounding like.
Posted by: Khappa MJ 21st May 2017, 08:33 AM
Ridicolous, as all other Talent shows... anyway
Posted by: Klaus 21st May 2017, 10:04 AM
'I won Junior Eurovision'
Simon: 'I didn't know there was one'
poor Ryan!
Destiny slayed of course though!

Posted by: Jade 21st May 2017, 11:42 AM
I am glad they didn't just put the dancer through based on his technical ability as the routine just didn't work. Definitely one who could benefit from coming back in a couple of years with more thought put into his audition performance.
That whacky magician was the clear highlight of this week's show for me! Strange but impressive.
Posted by: Dobbo 21st May 2017, 08:00 PM
The Japanese magician is easily my fave act this series so far!
Also liked that French dance group but that was about it from yesterday.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 25th May 2017, 06:18 PM
Who do you think will be performing on the BGT Live Shows?
People I'm thinking could:
Wednesday - Olly ft. Louisa all but confirmed surely?
Rita?
Miley?
Any of the 1D boys possibly
Some surprise release next Friday/Saturday like Tears from last year
Little Mix? (though I think they are touring)

Little Mix have the Sunday off, and they're in Europe so I think they'll do it.
Hoping for Katy!
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 25th May 2017, 06:26 PM
Hoping for Katy!
Fab! Hopefully they'll do it then!
Some really strong potential guests this year, would also love someone like Lorde to perform as well!
(watch how we end up with Ed/Rag n Bone Man/James Arthur knowing our luck
)
Posted by: Dobbo 25th May 2017, 06:59 PM
Those names would still be far bigger than what we've had in recent years with the likes of Ricky Martin, OneRepublic & the cast of Motown.
Can't see too many big names performing, I suppose they'll invite back some of last year's finalists like Wayne Woodward...
Posted by: Ryan. 25th May 2017, 07:07 PM
5 After Midnight are launching a single next week right? Did they sign with Syco or another label, if the former then they must be potentials.
Posted by: cqmerqn 25th May 2017, 08:12 PM
Olly Murs & Louisa Johnson
5 After Midnight
Fleur East - has new music on the way
Rita Ora
Little Mix & Stormzy
Charlie Puth
Camila Cabello
James Arthur
Katy Perry
These are the most likely. OBVIOUSLY I'm not suggesting that all of those will appear. But it's likely that a couple will.
Posted by: Suedehead2 25th May 2017, 08:37 PM
Bleachers 
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 27th May 2017, 09:25 PM
Well the guest performances are completely underwhelming 😂😂
Little Mix and Camila though *.* <3
Posted by: cqmerqn 27th May 2017, 09:34 PM
Full list anyone?
I wanted Ellie and surprised Olly isn't there!!
Posted by: jase. 27th May 2017, 11:16 PM
Confirmed: Little Mix WITH Diversity, Alfie Boe and a hologram of Vera Lynn, Camila Cabello, 5 After Midnight, Richard Jones (last years BGT winner), and the cast of the Bat Out of Hell musical
Clearly they were strapped for cash
Posted by: cqmerqn 27th May 2017, 11:46 PM
Oh ffs 
Posted by: Jonjo 28th May 2017, 12:05 AM
TBF, don't BGT always have more varied performers?
I just saw the dance troupe who did Little Mix... eh. Too messy and far too stiff for me.
Posted by: Ryan. 28th May 2017, 03:18 PM
I'm confused as to where Olly and Louisa are, why on earth are they releasing on Wednesday of all days without a BGT performance?
Posted by: Liаm 28th May 2017, 05:23 PM
Glad to see Camila perform and of courwe Little Mix, meh at the rest but they do tend to have more variety, Jonjo is right and tbh so they should as it is a show for all types of talent. But I'm just not that excited for what they've lined up
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 29th May 2017, 06:39 PM
Technical issues when we're one act in Is that a record?
Also think it's odd to put these guys first - I thought the show was buttering them up for a victory?
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 29th May 2017, 06:53 PM
That police officer was horrendous 😂
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 29th May 2017, 06:55 PM
I have to agree unfortunately, I was really looking forward to him but it was nothing really, all those people behind him were just pointless
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 29th May 2017, 07:04 PM
What a mess!! That was dreadful as well 😂
The choir were ok but they were also better the first time
Posted by: Rob Spears 29th May 2017, 07:05 PM
They played Work Bitch! 
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 29th May 2017, 07:07 PM
Oh so we finally get to see the clip when David told Kyle to get a vocal coach!
Putting him fourth is an interesting move though
Posted by: Rob Spears 29th May 2017, 07:08 PM
Putting him fourth is an interesting move though
He's dreadful.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 29th May 2017, 07:11 PM
That was ok. Felt more X-factor though tbh!
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 29th May 2017, 07:21 PM
In Common AND Freedom *.*
Another poor act though 😂😂
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 29th May 2017, 07:23 PM
The dance troupe were my favourite act so far but I can see them 100% coming last
Posted by: Ryan. 29th May 2017, 07:34 PM
This semi-final has been diabolical so far, but thank god for DNA who finally held my attention for an entire performance unlike the others before him.
Posted by: dandy* 29th May 2017, 07:37 PM
This whole show is a mess today, I haven't liked anything so far. Isn't the first show usually the one packed with potential finalists to draw everyone in?
Also, so many good acts this year that didn't make it through. I feel like there has been loads of decent acts from abroad this year that haven't been shown since their audition - in particular the Japanese magician and the couple who could balance and lift each other and also did that move where she almost lay on the floor (don't know how else to describe them!!!)
Posted by: dandy* 29th May 2017, 07:39 PM
Oh and I absolutely HATED these first time around so not really looking forward to this one either. :/
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 29th May 2017, 07:45 PM
Why have they left this girl-group until last? Seems a little odd
I hate acts like Tyrone & Mina, I have to turn away because idk if I can trust stuff like that on live TV.
Posted by: Ryan. 29th May 2017, 07:45 PM
This is what happened to several of the good acts:

When they were pefrectly fine to have the winner of Russia's Got Talent on last year?
Okay, I get it for the non-British acts, but for people like Sian I don't get, it doesn't say anywhere they have to be amateur?

Oh thanks for that - yes, all of those were good enough to make the semi finals better.
Surprised that the Junior Eurovision entrant was allowed to make it through, feels a little inconsistent.
Posted by: Ryan. 29th May 2017, 07:57 PM
Yeah I'm surprised Destiny has been allowed considering she's won the biggest international children's music competition there is (HYPE FOR JESC!) but I'm relieved! Thankfully Simon's non-awareness of the competition seems to have worked in her favour, although I imagine she was asked to do the show for that very reason.
Posted by: Suedehead2 29th May 2017, 07:58 PM
Well, that was a bit of a waste of about an hour. At least watching it on catch-up has shortened the ordeal. DNA were good but the others were either average or - in the case of the girl band - terrible.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 29th May 2017, 07:58 PM
My rank for this semi:
1. DNA (3 votes)
2. Empire Dance Troupe (2 votes)
----------(BIG GAP)-----------------
3. Kyle Tomlinson
4. Niels Harder
5. St. Patrick's Junior Choir
6. Miss Treats Vibe
7. Dan Graham
8. Tyrone & Mina (only because I couldn't bear to watch it)
Posted by: Ryan. 29th May 2017, 07:59 PM
DNA should ease through but I imagine it will probably be Kyle and girlband with DNA 3rd if they reveal the positions.
Posted by: Dobbo 29th May 2017, 08:06 PM
Still catching up with this series so only just seen the last auditions. Completely not surprised they binned off the 2 best acts for a load of crap.
That "DJ" has to be the worst act of all time on this show.
Posted by: cqmerqn 29th May 2017, 08:20 PM
The choir at the start. Why did the backing track (that started to play) have a choir singing? Fix
Posted by: dandy* 29th May 2017, 08:29 PM
I thought that as well - but then I thought the vocals were for a different song so assumed I was wrong.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 29th May 2017, 08:37 PM
I voted 5 times for the girlband cause they were ok! I didn't even use my other 5 free votes the semi was so poor 😂😂
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 29th May 2017, 08:41 PM
I really think Simon's pushing the girlband WAY too much - they're nothing special really
Posted by: Jade 29th May 2017, 08:46 PM
Quite a poor semi on the whole oops. Gave all 5 of my votes to DNA who were the clear highlight.
Posted by: Ryan. 29th May 2017, 08:49 PM
Jade right for a change

Okay, what?! The contortionists and the Japanese acrobats were my favourites, hadn't even noticed they didn't make it!
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 29th May 2017, 08:56 PM
BOO at Miss Treats being in the Top 3 ahead of the choir
Posted by: RobBob 29th May 2017, 08:58 PM
The only winners, for sure! Thoroughly deserved in a weak semi.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 29th May 2017, 08:58 PM
The girls deserved to go through over that singer!
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 29th May 2017, 09:00 PM
Destiny *.* and Dizzy, and Leah!! All my faves tomorrow ofc! Love them all bar the tap dancers!
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 29th May 2017, 09:07 PM
I think the right 2 acts got through, glad Miss Treats didn't make it
Posted by: Suedehead2 29th May 2017, 09:11 PM
Were the contortionists the ones from Cirque Du Soleil? If so, I don't think they should have been allowed on in the first place.
Posted by: cqmerqn 29th May 2017, 09:15 PM
Wanted the girls to go through
Who's the guest performer tomorrow?
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 29th May 2017, 09:39 PM
Camila iirc *.*
Posted by: Liаm 29th May 2017, 09:43 PM
The Cirque Du Soleil ones were taking the piss a bit but I think that Sian woman they axed was a bit silly, they have loads of singers of that calibre on XF, and then the
acrobats and razorblade guy for being on Asia's Got Talent? Loads of acts have done multiple Got Talents, that doesn't make a professional.
Haven't seen tonight's semi yet but glad to see DNA through, by far my fave from auditions. I just love stuff like that!
Posted by: Jonjo 29th May 2017, 09:56 PM
Just saw Miss Treats performance on Youtube, I liked it! But what's the deal with them not going on something like XF? :\ I really think unless you're an operatic, musically trained or under age singer, then I just think it's a waste of time on going on this? I don't see the point when XF exists. I guess it's coverage and that less groups/pop singers are likely to audition, so they get hyped more etc.. but I don't agree with it.
Hopefully now that they've been given the shot, they can get some sort of record deal.
Posted by: Mack 29th May 2017, 09:59 PM
Miss Treats would have been great on X Factor.
DNA the only bright spark from the semis.
Pales low in quality compared to Susan Boyle, Diversity, Flawless.
Posted by: Ryan. 29th May 2017, 10:11 PM
Who's the guest performer tomorrow?
Destiny Chukunyere, although she's actually competing as well!
(Camila Cabello as Sam says!)
Posted by: Mack 29th May 2017, 10:15 PM
When Hollie Steel got through to the final........ That one year back in 2009.
Posted by: Liаm 29th May 2017, 10:40 PM
The girl group were very good, but I agree - why wouldn't you go on XF like that? I think you have to be more niche, as Jonjo said, usually that's opera but there was that swing guy last year (not that he was very good, but he still came 2nd). I suppose it's an artistic thing, on BGT you sing whatever you've prepared, anything you want, whereas on XF you're gonna have to do 80s week and disco.
DNA were brilliant, I have no idea how they do it :/ There was a similar act on AGT that got revealed but I think they're better than that one, that one when I found out how they did it I was like oh but that doesn't apply for this one.
(also does D stand for daddy because the one in the black jacket can do anything to me)
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 30th May 2017, 09:06 AM
Speaking of Wayne Woodward (the swing guy), I have to say I was a little disappointed his single didn't do anything officially but then again it didn't really get any promo
Posted by: Liаm 30th May 2017, 06:35 PM
G'won Destiny babe
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 30th May 2017, 06:41 PM
She was very good, but I agree with Simon that she shouldn't have done another Aretha
Posted by: Ryan. 30th May 2017, 06:43 PM
Effortless slayage
Posted by: Liаm 30th May 2017, 06:45 PM
I loved her but it does kind of scream 6th in the semi She should have sang like Whitney or something, it makes it seem like she can't go outside of that style.
Posted by: Klaus 30th May 2017, 06:46 PM
not that I'm watching but SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE NOT MY SOUL.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 30th May 2017, 06:52 PM

Tonight feels like it is ridiculously competitive compared to yesterday's borefest of a show. :/
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 30th May 2017, 07:34 PM
I have to say I've been quite disappointed so far tonight, Matt was good and I'm hoping Grace & Ali/Taptastik can surprise me
Posted by: Liаm 30th May 2017, 07:41 PM
That opera girl was out of this world, bloody fab. Not my thing at all but she is such a talent! I didn't get Simon's comment about personality, I hardly think it's important for an opera singer, how can you show a bubbly 14 year old's personality with an opera song? I liked those two dancers as well, I tend not to like contemporary and it feels like they just flail about sometimes, but that really had a story and feeling to it.
That idiot who got Ant & Dec's golden buzzer has to be one of the most embarrassing "comedy" acts I've ever seen, I don't get how that was supposed to be good?!
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 30th May 2017, 07:44 PM
He appeals to quite a specific audience I think, I actually quite liked his performance!
Posted by: dandy* 30th May 2017, 07:47 PM
His performance was okay, his tricks were obvious and I've seen them done before.
The girl who sang opera and the couple who danced are my favourites so far tonight (can't see the tap dancers changing that either).
Posted by: Liаm 30th May 2017, 07:52 PM
Lmao thi is so cheesy, it's the stereotype of what people think tap dancing is
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 30th May 2017, 07:56 PM
I'm really questioning their choice of closing act this series, I mean they were good but surely it would make more sense to put Leah or Matt last?
Posted by: dandy* 30th May 2017, 07:57 PM
They seem to be deliberately steering away from looking like they're trying to influence the voting, no judges choice each night and the running order has been more varied.
Posted by: Liаm 30th May 2017, 08:01 PM
I voted 5 for Leah on my phone and 5 for Issy on my iPad!
Posted by: Jade 30th May 2017, 08:05 PM
Gave all 5 of my votes to Grace & Ali the dancing couple, I found their performance stunning even despite that awful Sam Smith song seems much more competitive tonight, could feasibly see any of 5 (Grace & Ali, Opera girl, guy who sang 'Supermarket Flowers' and the two magicians) battling for the top 2. If I had to predict then I'd guess opera girl has won the semi and Grace & Ali second.
Posted by: Liаm 30th May 2017, 08:08 PM
Yeah I'm thinking Leah first and Grace and Ali second, both very deserving! I worry that the kid who's nan died will get one of the slots, Issy or Matt feasibly could but I feel like Issy is a strong contender for judges' wildcard anyway. I think they should have to put Leah, Issy or Grace and Ali in the semi last night and they probably would have won.

Lee Evans 2.0 was so annoying he had much longer than the other acts.
Posted by: RobBob 30th May 2017, 08:45 PM
I reckon Issy will go straight through aswell, with Grace & Ali in second though I think it'll be close between them & the opera girl.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 30th May 2017, 08:46 PM
Camila was fab
Posted by: RobBob 30th May 2017, 08:47 PM
Also, I think we can safely say Camila is no interesting break out from Fifth Harmony, not sure why anyone thought she'd make an interesting solo artist because that proved she's got very little when she's not sqwarking over the other girls.
Posted by: Liаm 30th May 2017, 08:53 PM
I adore the song but yeah that was a bit shit She was good at the BBMAs so idk why she did it so flatly this time.

I can see Josephine making it tomorrow as well, she's brilliant. It's an insult to place Matt in the same category as her, Issy and DNA though.

Issy <3 my absolute favourite. So cute!
Posted by: Jonjo 30th May 2017, 09:19 PM
I really don't like Issy at all! I feel bad for saying that as she's only a kid, but I really don't "believe" her magic much and it feels far too contrived to me.
Posted by: dandy* 30th May 2017, 09:22 PM
I don't believe it either Jonjo. Plus I believe the stories about her magic all being expensive gadgets, I've heard so many times that the 'magic' in those types of tricks is basically done by someone backstage writing on the special equipment, a bit like a modern etch a sketch if you will!

Oh wow that's great!
I guess Little Mix's performance will be scrapped now, unless they pre-record it/move it to their only other free date of tomorrow?
Posted by: Klaus 31st May 2017, 11:26 AM
Looking at the YouTube clips of the performances last night, why does everyone get between 2/2.5 mins and that Matt guy get nearly 6 minutes of air time for his performance??
Posted by: Liаm 31st May 2017, 11:49 AM
And still they said he "needed more time'
Posted by: Mack 31st May 2017, 12:36 PM
Seems very unfair that Matt got 6 minutes of air time when the others had 2 minutes.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 31st May 2017, 06:40 PM
Josephine was INCREDIBLE. I know there are already quite a lot of magicians in the final but I really hope she can make it through! Loved the feminist theme

That was very good but I can't see her going through with Tokio & Sarah in this semi
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 31st May 2017, 06:45 PM
Josephine wasn't particularly impressive I thought. The presentation was good and unique but the actual tricks are very "seen it all before", certainly not as good as Issy or especially DNA.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 31st May 2017, 06:53 PM
London School of Bollywood are one of my favourites this series I have to say
Posted by: dandy* 31st May 2017, 07:00 PM
I thought Josephine's tricks were quite obvious as to how they were done, she presented it well enough though - I thought Simon was very harsh on her and he came across as though he just didn't want another magician... which is fair enough as neither do I.
Posted by: dandy* 31st May 2017, 07:02 PM
They were okay but they only seemed to get about 30 seconds air time.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 31st May 2017, 07:12 PM
@ Ned! Loved that DNA reference at the end and I like the fact he addressed the stuff about his parents as well.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 31st May 2017, 07:24 PM
To be fair that Jay Wynn was actually a decent singer, the robot was just a bit unnecessary to be fair
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 31st May 2017, 07:28 PM
Sarah was terrific and one of the best so far easily! That was vocally incredible and she completely slayed that
That transformer thing though was diabolical 😂😂😂
Posted by: Liаm 31st May 2017, 07:31 PM
Jesus christ I think that performance of Purple Rain has to be one of the best I've ever seen on a show like this!!
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 31st May 2017, 07:41 PM
I liked the tap dancer as well! I think tonight might be my favourite semi so far! (barring Jay obviously)
Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 31st May 2017, 07:45 PM
Nobody bother searching for that Indan BOP for BJSC; I beat Britains Got Talent to it by a year x . It flopped of course due to Beaverdoniaism. If a popular country sent it it would have won tbh.

Gave all 5 of my votes to Tokio tonight *.* His audition was quite possibly my favourite this year, so I was really hoping he would deliver again. Not quite as good as the audition but another gripping and impressive performance that stood out from the crowd.
I imagine Tokio, Ned and Sarah will be the top 3 tonight. Hard to predict the exact top 2 but I'll take a stab at Tokio and Ned, hopefully the former isn't just wishful thinking.
Posted by: Mack 31st May 2017, 08:21 PM
Am I the only one who didn't like Ned?
He had much longer than the other acts did.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 31st May 2017, 08:38 PM
Gave 5 votes to Sarah and 5 votes to Josephine, really hope the latter can go through! <3
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 31st May 2017, 08:45 PM
Ik Sarah is probably certain to go through but out of the actual contenders I'd love it to be Ned and Josephine!
Posted by: Liаm 31st May 2017, 08:47 PM
Ned wasn't funny at all, he's pushed on by the fact he's young. The same jokes would be lame from someone like 10-20 years older. I just found him annoying.
Posted by: HarryApa 31st May 2017, 08:52 PM
Ned is by far the best tonight I really think he could win it tbh
Posted by: Mack 31st May 2017, 08:56 PM
Expected with the three
Shame about London School of Bollywood and Josephine.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 31st May 2017, 08:57 PM
I've found every single person that has come 2nd so far to be overrated af 😂
Come on Sarah!
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 31st May 2017, 08:57 PM
at Ned getting through! Sarah must be first now though
Posted by: Mack 31st May 2017, 08:57 PM
Oh for f***s sake. Sorry he's young but it weren't for me. Ned.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 31st May 2017, 08:58 PM
WHAT. How did Sarah not go through after that performance?
Definitely think she could get the wildcard spot hopefully
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 31st May 2017, 08:58 PM
Sarah's out! I'd be shocked if she wasn't the wildcard though
Posted by: Mack 31st May 2017, 08:58 PM
Major shock. What the f*** is wrong with the public. Tokio fully deserved.
Posted by: HarryApa 31st May 2017, 08:59 PM
Bye Sarah and your screechy OTT vocals
Posted by: Mack 31st May 2017, 09:00 PM
I'll be amazed if Sarah didn't get the wildcard.
Posted by: Jade 31st May 2017, 09:04 PM
SO pleased that Tokio's performance connected with the public enough to top the vote!
Posted by: dandy* 31st May 2017, 09:06 PM
Tokio!!!! I really assumed he was going home then, gobsmacked that he won the semi.
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 31st May 2017, 09:14 PM
Definitely the right two through tonight! Tokio adds the variety and Ned was hilarious, Sarah gave a good vocal (and was SO much better than her shrieky audition) but what does she offer that Jennifer Hudson doesn't?
Posted by: Suedehead2 31st May 2017, 09:20 PM
But he isn't ten years older. He's just turned nine. You could say something similar about Issy last night. The delivery of her patter was far from perfect but you wouldn't expect perfection from an eight-year-old.
Posted by: :up: 29. Sigrid 31st May 2017, 09:30 PM
Not surprised Tokio won. I'm shocked not-that-funny Ned came 2nd.
Sarah was ROBBED, but she's clearly the wildcard considering the judges faces when they heard she was 3rd.
Posted by: Liаm 31st May 2017, 09:56 PM
Sarah will be the wildcard but that has to be one of the most ridiculous results I have ever seen That performance from Sarah was absolutely incredible, and Ned was just embarrassingly unfunny. I'm so fed up of kids getting a pass because they're young and cute and genuine talent missing out. Just not my sort of comedy at all. It's a shame that tongiht and last night were so competitive though, I feel like on Monday Sarah or Grace & Ali could have won the semi, but I suppose you can say that any year There's always a weak semi and a couple of really strong oens.
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 31st May 2017, 10:01 PM
I think there's more to Ned's credit than is being made out really, I certainly found him very funny and I think he is talented for sure!
Posted by: dandy* 31st May 2017, 10:04 PM
I agree, I thought he was better than his audition. He didn't put a foot wrong and was very confident in his delivery.
Posted by: Suedehead2 31st May 2017, 10:09 PM
For a nine-year-old, his delivery was remarkably good. Some of his punch lines could have been spotted from space but the same can be said for some adult comedians.
Posted by: :up: 29. Sigrid 31st May 2017, 10:11 PM
He doesn't write his own stuff
Posted by: dandy* 31st May 2017, 10:14 PM
Neither did Sarah...
Both did well. I liked Sarah but I am finding it refreshing that the singers aren't getting through and clogging up the final like they usually do.
Posted by: Suedehead2 31st May 2017, 10:24 PM
I'm sure he doesn't but he's (just) nine. I suspect he contributed to the material but, at his age, a lot of the talent is in delivering the material whoever wrote it.
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 31st May 2017, 10:25 PM
This really doesn't matter for me, I still laughed no matter who wrote the jokes! Ned's still a great showman and his delivery really was great for someone so young.
Posted by: burbe 31st May 2017, 10:26 PM
wtf at Sarah not getting through
Posted by: jase. 31st May 2017, 11:25 PM
WOW @ Simon's facial expressions after it was revealed Ned and Tokio were through. He really couldn't hide how pissed off he was
Sarah's going to be the wildcard, obviously, which is a shame because I wanted the dancers (the boyfriend/girlfriend couple) to be
Posted by: Jonjo 1st June 2017, 02:11 AM
Just caught his performance on Youtube and although predictable, I still ended up laughing! So confident!
I also saw Sarah's performance, I really don't rate it at all! Like, she has a good voice, but it's a bit TOO much for me and I really don't get the hype?
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 1st June 2017, 08:32 AM
Whether he writes his own jokes or not, Ned has a stage prescence and confidence most of us could only have dreamed of at his age. He didn't stutter or forget any of his jokes, and even remembered to take his jacket off at the right time. It's clearly something he wants to do and enjoys doing.
Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 1st June 2017, 10:03 AM
So confidence is once again mistaken for talent, saddling us with the Robbie Williams and Westlifes of the world. Great.
He is atrocious, sorry. I have no clue how anyone is entertained by childish jokes he didn't even write.
Posted by: Jonjo 1st June 2017, 10:06 AM

Tokio was incredible - by far the best in the show this year. Also liked Ned, but imo Sarah absolutely KILLED that performance in a bad way

Yes, boring!
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 1st June 2017, 06:53 PM
I have to say I am sick of people booing madly whenever Simon says ANYTHING remotely negative 
Posted by: Liаm 1st June 2017, 06:56 PM
Definitely agree Pete! It's a shame acts like say Josephine and the Irish dander don't even get top 3 when whoever wins this semi probably would struggle for top 3 in other semis. Of course it depends who does really well on the night but I don't see much potential for it in the line up.
I bet we'll end up with the token really weird finalist like Jean Martyn tonight I imagine
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 1st June 2017, 07:08 PM
I can't see tonight going anywhere other that The Pensionalities, MerseyGirls & Jonny Awsum really, although none of them scream 'finalist' to me
Posted by: Liаm 1st June 2017, 07:10 PM
Yeah I think MerseyGirls and Pensionalities, but they'll be in the bottom 3 or 4 of the final I imagine

Reuben and the girls were the best for me and that's saying something as I did not like MerseyGirls first time round
Posted by: Liаm 1st June 2017, 08:05 PM
Yeah deffo the girls and the old guys, I think Jonny will probably be 3rd or maybe Reuben.

This semi final was very poor Sarah would have easily topped the vote had she been in this semi final .
Posted by: Jade 1st June 2017, 08:33 PM
That semi final was by far the weakest we've had so far! There's no one I am particularly rooting for today like I have the past few days I assume the dancers and old men will be through, both of them were only 'decent' for me (the latter mainly for the sweet factor), oops

Posted by: UltraGreenLight 1st June 2017, 08:35 PM
HORRENDOUS show, worse than the first semi which I didn't think was possible.
The only act I liked/loved was Mersey Girls, they were fab and I gave them all ten of my votes!
(My top 3 would probs be the hot singer and the balloon guy which says it all, I loved the musical guy the first time round but this rap thing was dreadful)
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 1st June 2017, 08:38 PM
I bet we'll end up with the token really weird finalist like Jean Martyn tonight I imagine
Omg Jean *.* icon <3
(She was my favourite BGT act when I was younger 😂)

I thought magician bloke has left his job (as a cook) with the Army. Is he allowed to wear the uniform?
Posted by: Suedehead2 1st June 2017, 08:47 PM
That said, his trick tonight was far better than his "Look at me, I'm in the Army" performance in last year's final.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 1st June 2017, 08:55 PM
Reuben in the Top 3! Jonny really screwed up that performance then
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 1st June 2017, 08:57 PM
Yasss Mersey Girls
Hoping Reuben goes through but I doubt it!
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 1st June 2017, 08:58 PM
MerseyGirls & The Pensionalities through. What a surprise
Posted by: dandy* 1st June 2017, 09:03 PM
I'm okay with those two going through, they do each add something different to the final list.
I'm not at all sure who is left for tomorrow aside from Amanda's comedian.
Posted by: Jade 1st June 2017, 09:09 PM
The line-up for tomorrow:
Daliso Chaponda (Comedian)
Code 3 (Dancers)
Jamie Lee Harrison (Singer)
Perfect Pitch Creation (Choir)
Jess Robinson (Impressionist)
Missing People Choir (Choir
)Lords Of Strut (Dancers)
TNG Characters (Dancers)
Looks faaaar more competitive than tonight's show! I remember Daliso, Jess, Missing People Choir and Jamie all having hype for their auditions at least.
Posted by: dandy* 1st June 2017, 09:14 PM
Ah, thank you Jade.
I liked Daliso and I also thought Jess was okay too. I quite liked Lords of Strut too but I can't remember really caring for any of the others.
Posted by: Suedehead2 1st June 2017, 09:15 PM
I'm not at all sure who is left for tomorrow aside from Amanda's comedian.
Add what? Tenth and eleventh place?
Posted by: Liаm 1st June 2017, 09:15 PM
Jess my fave from auditions but she'll get lost in that semi, it'll be Missing People's Choir 100% winning the semi and then probably Daliso, who I loved too. Typical, tonight's semi where I barely liked anything and then the two surroudning it I feel spoilt for choice as I'd easily put Jess and Daliso through but one (or both even) will lose out because of the choir.
I just hope the Missing People's Choir don't win but I can't see past it. I get the sentiment and I don't want to sound heartless but there isn't that much talent in it compared to other acts (most choirs sound the same and can be decent with a bit of practice) and I'm just not a fan of choirs. I know it's good visibility for the missing people and if one can get found they're doing a good thing, but acts shouldn't be buoyed almost solely by emotional value.
Posted by: Sigrid(ft.Quavo) 1st June 2017, 09:43 PM
How can they fit all semi finalists in when they've cut the show short by a day?
Posted by: Suedehead2 1st June 2017, 09:46 PM
They haven't. The semis were always due to be Monday to Friday with the final on Sunday. The only change is that the final is now on Saturday. That's pretty tough on tomorrow's winners and the wild card, but there you go.
Posted by: Houdini 1st June 2017, 11:59 PM
It's kind of symbolic of the British mentality that in a choice between a young creative teenager with his whole future and life ahead of him & a couple of pensioners who don't have much future ahead of them that it's the pensioners who got the reward.
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 2nd June 2017, 07:56 AM
Shame Reuben didn't get through, he was one of my favourites last night along with the Pensionalities.
Posted by: Joe. 2nd June 2017, 08:11 AM
Do we know who's performing on the final yet to replace little mix?
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 2nd June 2017, 09:40 AM
I have to say I can't see this going anywhere other that Missing People and Daliso really.
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 2nd June 2017, 10:02 AM
Wait, how come they're not performing anymore?
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 2nd June 2017, 10:11 AM
Because the final was rescheduled I think
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 2nd June 2017, 10:14 AM
BGT final moved from Sunday to Saturday because of the concert and Little Mix have a concert in Amsterdam (?) on Saturday night
Still surprised there has been no statement whether they are performing or not, or doing an alternative such as the video premiering etc? Also have no clue who will perform instead if they don't, the only two people I could think of are Niall and Olly/Louisa (and according to another post, Olly can't) unless there is a surprise performance?
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 2nd June 2017, 10:18 AM
Engelbert maybe?
Posted by: Suedehead2 2nd June 2017, 10:46 AM
I suspect it may be as simple as them not being sure themselves yet.
Posted by: Liаm 2nd June 2017, 12:50 PM
It'll probably be someone really lame now on such short notice, or like a former winner who just happens to be in London or close enough to perform
Jai McDowell plz xxxxxxxx
Posted by: Joe. 2nd June 2017, 01:46 PM
They're probably busy but Simon should so fly Fifth Harmony in to perform Down.
Posted by: HausofSZA 2nd June 2017, 04:45 PM
The Mersey Girls from last night are my favourite act now. I don't even know what it is, but both performances have basically almost reduced me to tears. They are such beautiful girls and what they do is always so stunning and tells powerful stories. Them to win I think (especially with Grace and Ali out!).
Also liking Ned, Issy and Tokio. Matt is the worst by far, not funny or entertaining AT ALL i really don't get it.
(these finalists are missing a dog act )
Posted by: Klaus 2nd June 2017, 05:18 PM
They could just show last year's BGT performance of Work From Home and just edit out Camilla?
Posted by: HausofSZA 2nd June 2017, 06:39 PM
Jess was hilarious! Much better than the audition.
Shame she won't be through as this is such a strong semi
Posted by: Jade 2nd June 2017, 06:39 PM
Loved Jess, found that even better than her audition! The impressions of Adele, Alesha and Kate Bush in particular were brilliant.
Posted by: Sabrina. 2nd June 2017, 06:44 PM
I don't know. I just wasn't that keen on her and found myself agreeing with Simon
Posted by: HausofSZA 2nd June 2017, 06:44 PM
Such a shame she won't even be looked in as a wildcard despite the fact her singing voice is more pleasurable than Sarah's AND she's hilarious.
I really can't with Sarah i'm sorry. So overdone.
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 2nd June 2017, 06:48 PM
Jess was FANTASTIC, I was laughing from start to finish. Simon's comments were ridiculous, the fact he didn't find a single thing to praise in that is a joke. Adele's singing impersonation wasn't amazing BUT the point was to highlight the contrast between her singing and talking, which it did perfectly and in a very comedic way.
Posted by: Jade 2nd June 2017, 06:51 PM
That just reminded me of something we would've sang for our year 6 leavers assembly at school :') down with kid choirs x
Posted by: HausofSZA 2nd June 2017, 06:55 PM
Kids no.
Their faces were so annoying (is that a mean thing to say?). My class >>>>
Posted by: Jade 2nd June 2017, 07:11 PM
Ahhh Daliso was brilliant again, his material is just so HIM and refreshingly funny on this show!
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 2nd June 2017, 07:13 PM
Daliso was just sensational, I've not laughed that hard in SO long. My favourite act this year!
Posted by: Mack 2nd June 2017, 07:36 PM
If someone from TNG Characters jumped out on me like that. I wouldn't be happy. Clowns are shit.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 2nd June 2017, 07:40 PM
PIECE BY PIECE!! ❤️❤️❤️
This semi has been incredible
Posted by: troylovesmusic 2nd June 2017, 07:45 PM
TNG Characters were great definitely the the best dance related act this year imo .
Posted by: Jade 2nd June 2017, 07:56 PM
Given 3 votes to Daliso and 2 to Jess!
I imagine it will be Missing Choir winning, Daliso 2nd and that guy who sang 'Piece By Piece' 3rd.
Posted by: Liаm 2nd June 2017, 08:34 PM
"I'm black, 200 years ago this would have been an auction" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I AM DONE
Daliso and Jess have both been by far my faves this week, along with DNA. It's a shame Jess will come like 6th in this heat I hope Daliso wins this heat, but ofc it will be the choir.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 2nd June 2017, 08:42 PM
My poor ears.
This is horrific.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 2nd June 2017, 08:44 PM
That was genuinely worse than all the performers tonight 😂😂
Posted by: troylovesmusic 2nd June 2017, 08:45 PM
Sorry not sorry I was bopping to that 5 after Midnight song that was a pretty good performance as well there good performers
Posted by: Liаm 2nd June 2017, 08:46 PM
That is one of the worst songs I've heard in my life.
Posted by: HausofSZA 2nd June 2017, 08:48 PM
I was jamming to it
Posted by: Jade 2nd June 2017, 09:00 PM
Daliso winning the semi, g'won *.*
Grace & Ali to somehow be the wildcard please
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 2nd June 2017, 09:00 PM
I enjoyed 5AM too
So delighted Daliso won the semi over the choir!! Backing him for the win *.*
Posted by: dandy* 2nd June 2017, 09:05 PM
I thought the 5AM track was called 'Ugly Hair'.
(oh and yayayayay Daliso etc)
Posted by: Liаm 2nd June 2017, 09:06 PM
Fab result there (well, the 1st place anyway lmao), really good to see Daliso triumph over yet another choir. A comedian has never won BGT so it'd be nice to something totally different again after we had the first magician win last year. Comedy tends to be something we don't see a lot of done well in BGT as well!
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 2nd June 2017, 09:35 PM
I called it
Posted by: jase. 2nd June 2017, 10:26 PM
Who do we think will win then? I think it's between Daliso, the missing persons choir, the Pensionalities, and I really believe Tokio is a dark horse.
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 2nd June 2017, 10:29 PM
I have a feeling the missing people choir have peaked too soon and I can see them ending up 4th or so, behind Daliso, Tokio and the Pensionalities. Think Daliso stands a really good chance of winning if he continues the high quality of tonight! I wouldn't rule out DNA either actually. Pretty wide open this year.
Posted by: Liаm 2nd June 2017, 10:37 PM
I can see Daliso winning, him or Tokio perhaps, but it could be DNA. I think it's genuinely going to depend on the night!
Posted by: Jade 2nd June 2017, 10:55 PM
Omg Daliso, DNA and Tokio are legitimately my favourite acts in the final so that would be an insanely good top 3 *.*
Thinking it is definitely Daliso or Tokio's to take at the minute, I agree that the Missing Choir have peaked too early.
Posted by: jase. 3rd June 2017, 07:04 PM
Anybody watching?
Just checked William Hill - Tokio and Daliso are joint fave I kinda wanna put something on DNA..
Posted by: Jade 3rd June 2017, 07:20 PM
Not DNA's strongest performance tonight a shame especially that they messed up the page number!
Posted by: jase. 3rd June 2017, 07:23 PM
Good job I didn't put anything on DNA. That was NOT good
Put £35 on Daliso (returns would be £100.62) and £25 on Tokio (returns would be £81.25)
Posted by: jase. 3rd June 2017, 07:29 PM
Matt makes me cringe so hard
Posted by: Sigrid(ft.Quavo) 3rd June 2017, 08:06 PM
Lol at Rise Up being performed
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 3rd June 2017, 08:07 PM
Daliso's done it again, incredible
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 3rd June 2017, 08:08 PM
It's gotta be Daliso or Tokio I think - possibly Missing People Choir also in the Top 3
Posted by: Jade 3rd June 2017, 08:18 PM
Daliso, Issy and Tokio are a fantastic trio to end the show with! Daliso once again delivered which is impressive considering he only got through yesterday! Issy's performance was also a joy to watch, not as much magic as before but it felt like an appropriate way to see out her time in BGT.
C'MON TOKIO I'M ROOTING FOR YOU
Posted by: Ryan. 3rd June 2017, 08:18 PM
That was strangely so emotional, I don't think there was much magic talent there but she certainly told us about how magical life can be. I wasn't expecting this to be the goosebumps moment but it was, Issy to win and I never imagined I'd be saying that! Childhood hope and innocence can't be displayed any more perfectly than Issy did there, utter genius.
Posted by: jase. 3rd June 2017, 08:26 PM
Tokio was absolutely incredible. It's gonna be him vs. Issy isn't it?
Daliso was good but the weakest he's been for me. His odds now seem to agree with me
Posted by: Jade 3rd June 2017, 08:27 PM
BREATHTAKINGLY good. I haven't rooted for someone to win BGT this much in years, c'mon Tokio you can do it!
Posted by: jase. 3rd June 2017, 08:28 PM
Just voted for Tokio and Daliso.
Posted by: Ryan. 3rd June 2017, 08:29 PM
All 5 votes to Issy and I'd never have imagined I'd be doing that at the start of the show!
Posted by: jase. 3rd June 2017, 08:35 PM
+ 4 app votes to Tokio and 1 to Daliso.
Posted by: dandy* 3rd June 2017, 08:37 PM

Posted by: Sigrid(ft.Quavo) 3rd June 2017, 08:57 PM
So close Issy <3
Posted by: jase. 3rd June 2017, 08:58 PM
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! Absolutely deserved. Issy was really good but Tokio was on another level tonight.
Posted by: Jade 3rd June 2017, 08:59 PM
Absolutely delighted that Tokio won quite possibly the best top 3 ever on BGT.
(this thread is almost double the size of last year's one *.*)
Posted by: Sigrid(ft.Quavo) 3rd June 2017, 09:01 PM
So happy Issy came 2nd but when it was between the top 2 I had a feeling she'd take it.
Happy for Tokio though. The real shock to me is that DNA were 11th!
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 3rd June 2017, 09:03 PM
That really was the perfect top 3, I'd have been happy with any winning (even if Daliso was my top choice). Tokio is unique and exceptionally talented so a massive well done to him!
Surprised DNA did so badly but they were much weaker than usual tonight so not too surprising. Ned deserved more but not shocked he was pretty low down.
Posted by: Sigrid(ft.Quavo) 3rd June 2017, 09:33 PM
Ned is just SO annoying and crosses the line far too much.
Posted by: Sigrid(ft.Quavo) 3rd June 2017, 09:46 PM
Grand Final
Tokio Myers - 24.2%
Issy Simpson - 17.5%
Daliso Chaponda - 14.7%
Matt Edwards - 7.9%
The Pensionalities - 6.9%
Kyle Tomlinson - 6.7%
Sarah Ikumu - 5.6%
Missing People Choir - 5.2%
MerseyGirls - 5.1%
Ned Woodman - 3.2%
DNA - 3.0%
Posted by: dandy* 3rd June 2017, 09:59 PM
Tokio won quite convincingly then, excellent...
Posted by: Jonjo 4th June 2017, 12:01 AM
DNA's mess up really cost them then!
I just thought it was a poor performance overall and not just because of the mess up. By FAR the biggest disappointment </3 They absolutely smashed their two other performances!
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 4th June 2017, 12:49 AM
Agreed, it was much too clunky with or without the mess up!
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 01:55 AM
Having watched the top 3 performances, I'd still have chosen Issy but I won't deny Tokio's performance, it's just not at all my thing :/. Daliso was by far his weakest so far which was a shame, there was no way he was gonna win with that one Absolutely loved Issy's performance though bless her, much better than the first two I thought, it was so simple but still blew my mind and it just shone with childhood wonder and innocence as Ryan said, that's the perfect way to describe it. Tokio was very good but his facial expressions are so offputting lmao, Salvador Sobral teas (except good not f***ing awful xx).
Gutted to hear DNA flopped, they were my faves along with Daliso going into tonight. I'll have to catch up on all the perfs tomorrow!
Posted by: common sense 4th June 2017, 09:59 AM
Disappointed that Issy didn't win. Glad it wasn't the Missing Choir anyway.
Posted by: Suedehead2 8th June 2017, 09:49 PM
The Missing Persons Choir seems to have achieved a result...

^ Incredible news!
Posted by: Dobbo 10th June 2017, 11:16 PM
Must say, despite the stick I gave the series earlier it was a brilliant final & SO refreshing to not be dominated by singing & dancing acts (plus the fact they got most of them out of the way early on). Seems to me this is the year the public have got bored of singers with the supposed "best singer ever" not even making the Final on votes & finishing 7th.
Absolutely the right act won, he was outstanding - and got the pimp slot with such a short voting window which obviously helped, in the fact the last 3 finished as the top 3 unsurprisingly.
I'd rank the final as:
1. Tokio Myers
2. Daliso Chaponda
3. DNA
4. Missing People Choir
5. Ned Woodman
6. MerseyGirls
7. Jess Issy Simpson
8. Matt Edwards
9. Kyle Tomlinson
10. Sarah Ikumu
11. The Pensionalities
And Tokio would be 4th in my winners ranking after Attraction, Diversity & Spelbound.
