Britain's Got Talent

[Lisarocket]

I don't even understand why everyone was raving about George. He does a bit of breakdancing in the rain and that's it

Aye. There is no way he was the best talent there tonight. FFS

 

[May Kasahara]

I'm happy that George won - he really is very good - but in the true spirit of Royal Variety it should have been Signature. Plus they were my favourites. And such lovely people too! <sniff>

 

[ChrisFilter]

I don't even understand why everyone was raving about George. He does a bit of breakdancing in the rain and that's it

It's incredibly, incredibly good break dancing though. Up there with the best I've ever seen.

 

[moomoo]

Yeah, I'm just cross because the kids were right.

Again.


Anyway, we're planning our routine for next years show. It was going to involve the dog but he keeps running off.

I think we've got some work to do.


I agree with you May that Signature were lovely chaps! Real sweethearts. I hope they do well, I think they will.

 

[Lisarocket]

Ah, I'm not. That kid is very good, a nice lad, worked his arse off for it. Plus, it'll make a massive difference to his life and they'll both do well out of it.

I can tell you don't usually watch this sort of thing. You believed the hype of his sob story.

You would have really liked Madonna if she'd got through...

I know. It's just sour grapes

What, watch breakdancing? I've seen plenty, my Mrs is well into it.. plus, I hate sob stories. I fucking hated that little victim opera singer - grow some balls ffs.

 

[lontok2005]

Incredible talent at that age and getting better as he grows, coupled with determination like that and not a hint of arrogance about him, plus the sheer joy he obviously gets from doing what he does, not to mention how big a difference this will make to his life, unlike some of the others who will do well anyway.... how could you not want him to win?

Exactly. I wanted Signature to win, but don't begrudge the boy his victory.

Signature are incredible, but I would like to have seen them do something that wasn't Michael Jackson.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Signature are incredible, but I would like to have seen them do something that wasn't Michael Jackson.

Yeah, but to counter that, George complately ripped off the VW advert from a couple of years back.

 

[Disaster]

I'm glad that kid won. You could see the grit determination in his face and he clearly didn't have much at home.

I did vote for Kate and Gin twice though

 

[moomoo]

I don't begrudge him at all. I just think that Signature were a much better act and that people voted for George because he is a cute kid. Admittedly, he is very good at dancing but I thought Signature were far more entertaining.

 

[Passdout]

George did well and I am really pleased for him, however, it should have been signature.

 

[Lisarocket]

I didn't mean breakdancing ffs. I mean't you don't watch this type of show often..

I didn't think his head spin was that good if yer on about breakdancing.

He did the same routine as the semi final. The other street dancers (Nemesis) did a completely different routine from their semi and were slated for it...

 

[lontok2005]

Yeah, but to counter that, George complately ripped off the VW advert from a couple of years back.

But that was only one of his routines. All three that I saw of Signature's were MJ. My feeling is that for all their amazing talent as dancers, George is more creative.

Do you think you might be taking this a bit seriously

I really don't get why you're arguing with me when we agree that Signature should have won, but to answer your point, to my shame I've watched every X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent for the last three years. I have no choice. I totally hated the last X-Factor for all the sob stories so perhaps get off your slightly bemusing high horse

 

[ChrisFilter]

He did the same routine twice though. But yeah, there was more to his routine.

 

[moomoo]

But Signature added the Bhangra element which made it more exciting and entertaining imo.

 

[moomoo]

It IS serious dammit!

I'm not on a high horse, but you did tell me to 'grow some balls' so you surely expected an answer

I thought there were more talented people than George... that's all

 

[Disaster]

Come to think of it, I do remember the Golf ad from a few years ago with Gene Kelly in it. I thought I recognised the singin' in the rain theme from somewhere.

 

[ChrisFilter]

I didn't actually, I was referring to the 3rd place singer when I said 'grow some balls'

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

but you did tell me to 'grow some balls'

can you do that Lisa?

 

[ChrisFilter]

can you do that Lisa?

I would imagine not.

 

[lontok2005]

But Signature added the Bhangra element which made it more exciting and entertaining imo.

Don't get me wrong. I think Signature rock. Bhangra is amazingly funky and they know just how to do it. But I think all in all George has more potential than they do. If you asked me who I would rather see in five years' time to see how they had developed, I'd say George, because I can imagine he would have grown enormously whereas I imagine Signature would still be basing their act on Michael Jackson.

Can't believe I got this much into a talent show....

 

[May Kasahara]

Yeah, what was with that 3rd place opera singer kid? He looked well moody and ungrateful when he lost.

 

[Lisarocket]

can you do that Lisa?

Not sure i'd want them actually

 

[Lisarocket]

Yeah, what was with that 3rd place opera singer kid? He looked well moody and ungrateful when he lost.

I thought he just looked a bit upset as he walked off

 

[moomoo]

He cried. That annoyed me. I'd have been dead proud and pleased to have come third in a national talent show. I've got a feeling he believed his own publicity and really thought he was going to win.
