May 30, 201114 yr I thought the biker could've used a different soundtrack imo but he was still easily one of the best tonight
May 30, 201114 yr Did Amanda just tell the cyclist guy that he just topped himself? Yet another ODD choice of phrase from her! :lol:
May 30, 201114 yr It annoyed my how condescending the judges were to that 92 year old man. He was out of time, he was barely in tune. You'd think they were worried about giving him a heart attack if that said anything negative.
May 30, 201114 yr I thought the biker could've used a different soundtrack imo but he was still easily one of the best tonight I don't like that song, but it could've been worse. He could've chosen 'Bicycle Race' by Queen. Nothing wrong with the song, but you can't really bike to it, ironically enough.
May 30, 201114 yr Top marks to BGT for using Belle and Sebastian for background music. I approve of the music directional approach.
May 30, 201114 yr Oh, and the final singer is singing an obscure Bob Dylan that most definately has never been performed on a Simon Cowell show before <_<
May 30, 201114 yr Ronan did good enough, he's gonna walk this thing anyway, but he's got a good voice that song choice though <_<

May 30, 201114 yr Ronan was pretty fantastic singing 'Make You Feel My Love'! :D Now to watch it climb the chart again, not that I'll be bothered. :lol:
May 30, 201114 yr Ronan did good enough, he's gonna walk this thing anyway, but he's got a good voice that song choice though <_> I was actually quite nervous for him. I was really hoping he wouldn't screw up :lol: Thankfully he didn't and he was always going to do it more in the style of Adele than Bob Dylan. A 12-year-old boy would struggle to sound like Dylan. Of course it was typical of Cowpat to refer to Adele with no mention of his Bobness.
May 30, 201114 yr All very ordinary..and yes, Ronan Parke's the winner...but... err... can someone have a word in, ahem, 'music mogul' Simon Cowell's ear? What the hell has Adele got to be proud of listening to Parke sing 'Make You Feel My Love'??? :rolleyes: It's an old Bob Dylan song, something of a modern standard, that's been covered by oodles of people, the latest in a loooong line is Adele. Who sang it very nicely.
May 30, 201114 yr Ronan was technically the best tonight. But that choice of song.. uninspired to say the least. And lazy. And slightly annoying, given its... ability in the charts :drama:. He'll be going through then. Out of the remainder, either the bike guy or the martial arts sisters, hopefully at least.
May 30, 201114 yr The best three acts tonight were easily the martial arts sisters, the biking lad and the young singer at the end (sorry, I'm not good with names :P ). I've said all along that BGT 2011 will be won by a child act. The 12 year old boy who sang 'Make You Feel My Love' is definitely through to the final, and I've already predicted he will come in the top 2. Who is the other act? The autistic boy who does ballet dancing - a modern day Billy Elliott. Easily the best two acts, imo, this year. However, I do think this proves that the standard has definitely slipped compared to Spelbound last year who were incredible, and even Diversity in 2009 who really set the standard of street dance that nobody has bettered since.

I often do prefer covers of songs to the original, but it really annoys me when its regarded as 'their song' with no regard for the original writer :(

Who sang it very nicely. Because we have a generation of people who are musically ignorant. Two of my neices thought 'Uptown Girl' was by Westlife. I mentioned Billy Joel to them and they just looked blank at me - says everything. -_-
May 30, 201114 yr Only reason i like Ronan is because he's a big gaga fan and he said he would sing one of her songs in the Final :D
