Britain Has talent

Aw, that's a shame. I reckon Dominic has probably been talent-spotted though.

I thought the opera singer was no more than average.

Is this another Cheap programme? Is this where our Licence money goes. It's time good programmes were put on instead of repeats and rubbish

[WillowTheWhisp]

Cheap program or not it's showcasing some of the sort of variety acts we see far too little of these days.

Is anybody else really annoyed with the way Tony Laf's performances are being over looked for some sob story?

He's a great singer/songwriter with an original quality about him but on this programme we have stupid bints like Amanda Holden making a quick comment about the song and then going on about the way he's a great guy bringing up his brothers kids blah blah blah.

I'm not watching this to get a re-run of Surprise Surprise, I want to see if any of these reprobates have talent.

It was either this or Big Brother....come on... I'd rather see talent...and these people DO...well some of 'em anyway

I agree that it's supposed to be about his singing/songwriting talent not about his tragic life and courage and devotion in bringing up his deceased brother's children.

I'm rather surprised the Barwizzards have got through though. I expected it to be the impressionist.

was it the final tonight? did i miss it.

[West Ender]

I said I wouldn't be watching the follow-ups but I've seen some of them and I watched tonight. That little girl, Connie, is terrific and deserved to win. She was spot-on with every note and that's more than a lot of adults can manage.

Tony whats-his-name is, in my opinion, mediocre and used his sob-story to get on the show. Why did we have to be told about it in the first place? What has it got to do with talent? Anyway I'm glad he didn't win and I didn't like his song either.

[ploppysirploppy]

I kinda agree with West Ender.... Sob story...Aww.... etc etc...it's a talent show not Trisha
And I did love the little girl... don't mean to critisize her but he singing last time was a lot better

PS.. I wanted the impressionist to go through too

[lindsay ormerod]

I am now worried that the gap toothed winsome toddler with a weak voice will actually win and beat the real talent in the show just on the strength of her being "cute"; she was pants tonight but none of the judges had the spine to say that for fear of being lynched ! The impressionist was far more talented, and to be honest I would have had Tony thru with or without the sob story. The final will be a mockery if it comes down to voting for the 2 kids. Paul Potts should walk it but I don't trust the judgement given tonight's spineless display.

It's a shame Dominic didn't get though. I would have liked the Cheeky bits to have got through they were really good.
I really want Either little Connie or the girl who sang wouldn't it be loverly to win.

Why can't there be an 'Alternative Royal Variety Performance'?....I'm sure the Queen must get tired of the same old Celebs being trotted out every year...with the same old, same old.
Many of the acts that have been knocked out had enough talent to be able to perform in front of her Majesty....and it would be a true variety show of the old order.
I'm sure it could be organised.

[WillowTheWhisp]

I wonder if her Maj has been watching the show?

The final is tonight Tombraider.

We do not have a T.V. out ere in Paradice. Is it something like the X-factor?
