The girl group were very good, but I agree - why wouldn't you go on XF like that? :lol: 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)

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 :(

G'won Destiny babe

She was very good, but I agree with Simon that she shouldn't have done another Aretha :(

Effortless slayage

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.

not that I'm watching but SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE NOT MY SOUL.

And now we have the 'talent' of jumping up and down whilst pretending to be mixing songs! :cheer:

JESUS H CHRIST WHAT ON EARTH IS COMING OUT OF THAT KID'S MOUTH IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD :manson:

 

I'm not being insensitive but jesus christ that was actually painful to listen to.

Tonight feels like it is ridiculously competitive compared to yesterday's borefest of a show. :/

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

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? :lol: 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?!

He appeals to quite a specific audience I think, I actually quite liked his performance!

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).

Lmao thi is so cheesy, it's the stereotype of what people think tap dancing is :lol:

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?

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.

I voted 5 for Leah on my phone and 5 for Issy on my iPad!

Gave all 5 of my votes to Grace & Ali the dancing couple, I found their performance stunning even despite that awful Sam Smith song :kink: 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.

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.
