May 9, 20241 yr Author 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.
May 10, 20241 yr This post I saw perfectly describes the repetitiveness of the show's music :lol: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.
May 12, 20241 yr 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.
May 12, 20241 yr Author I like when funny acts like that get the Golden Buzzer :lol: 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.
May 16, 20241 yr Author I’ve finally caught up on the latest episode - I think Denise & Stefan are the most likely winners so far.
May 18, 20241 yr 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 :lol:
May 18, 20241 yr Author 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).
May 19, 20241 yr 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.
May 19, 20241 yr Author 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.
May 19, 20241 yr This post I saw perfectly describes the repetitiveness of the show's music :lol: It’s like Simon’s/the producers’ knowledge of current music died when X Factor did. :lol:
May 19, 20241 yr It’s like Simon’s/the producers’ knowledge of current music died when X Factor did. :lol:I mean, I probably wouldn't expect the likes of WAP or Unholy to be used as backing music. :D
May 19, 20241 yr I’m surprised they aren’t playing Houdini during the magic acts. :lol:Or the Harry Potter music like they seemed to do for a while. :D
May 20, 20241 yr Author I mean, I probably wouldn't expect the likes of WAP or Unholy to be used as backing music. :D 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.
May 20, 20241 yr 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. :D 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.
May 25, 20241 yr 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?

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.
