Yes this. As was said above, I have a vague image of them being a rock band, but the very limited amount I have heard is modern BGT warbley pop. Trouble is, everything I have heard drifts straight out of my head. I am sure I listened to them only yesterday when replying to Editor in another...

I was the BGT vote :mad: :oops::D

Yep, came up on the thread about it plenty at the time: UK captains of industry have charity night where they sexually assault young female 'hostesses'

So David Walliams is a twat again https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/nov/10/david-walliams-recorded-derogatory-remarks-britains-got-talent-bgt-contestants Wasn't he at that presidents club do some years back too?

One direction, little mix, Olly Murs have all decent careers on the back of x factor. And Rylan too, though I think he was BGT

Whenever In Our Time has a listener's choice week, they always choose a really shit topic. :(

...should be. Not that everything that'd come from that would be good, willing to bet the first things people would rally behind would be Strictly, BGT and Top Gear but the potential for supporting interesting stuff lower down could be huge if people were willing to mobilise a fairly negligible...

Should you not be off fretting about how male dancers on BGT are warping your kids minds :)

It wouldn't be off-topic when discussing the artistic merits of a street dance troupe, but that's not the topic of this thread. It's a pointless tangent. I mean, there's not really any debate to be had - some people like Diversity, and you don't. You are not obliged to like them, and nobody else...

...and put it better than I did. Expecting for art not to be populist shit isn't elitist and it's condescending to the working class to claim that BGT is for them and that they wouldn't want anything better. That is not off-topic when discussing a street dance talent show act and it's artistic...

It's not about elitism, though, is it? bgt is shit in the same way that Stock, Aitken and Waterman were shit. That's not an elitist statement. Motown in its heyday produced a mass of not-shit music that was also popular. SAW just produced shit that was popular, thus filling with shit spaces that...

...naming people after places they've visited, yeah, sure. There isn't, so it's not the same. Diversity, SuBo, etc, are Britain's Got Talent performers, but that doesn't mean BGT owns them. I don't get why the distinction is apparently important, but anyone trying to correct my English can fuck off.

I would never have watched this had it not been for this thread, and it certainly reminds me why I never watch shite like bgt. Acts on that kind of show have little space to demonstrate artistic merit tbh, because to have artistic merit normally means to present some kind of a challenge to an...

...because of course...every single one of those people are so outraged about violence and racism that they are actively anti-racist in their everyday lives because they absolutely will not let theirs or anyone else's kids experience it or have to witness it and make no mistake!

Have you actually seen the video? It's hardly a disturbing scene and without context it just looks like an unusual dance move. So no, these ultra-sensitive Daily Mail parents can fuck right off with this bullshit. You'll see infinitely more disturbing scenes on TV every fucking day, pre-watershed.

Stop being disingenuous. You know full well what's behind the vast majority of those complaints.

Can you understand parents concerns regarding family viewing, perhaps not suitable for little ones seeing a dancer dressed as a policeman kneeling on someone’s neck? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/ofcom-not-investigate-diversitys-bgt-22698415.amp

Yes but entertainment is political. The fact that it is supposed to be apolitical and mindless is a political statement, and it seems that people complaining about it was an overtly political statement engineered by right wing interest groups

Maybe some people watch BGT for entertainment and don’t particularly want political messaging (regardless of the cause) involved?
