Do the BGT judges know what talent is?!

Source BGT Judges

I've been watching Britain's Got Talent (BGT), the episode where the acts are told if they have a place in the live semi-final or not, and I have to say, some of their choices have really confused me.

One of the main issues I have with BGT is that they allow singers to audition when Simon already has a talent show for that known as the X Factor. The Variety show is the perfect place to show people a unique performance, singing is too normal.

Now 40 acts have made it to the live semi-finals, but the judges seemed to be on something when they sent through at least three acts:

Pip and Puppy

Bar worker Pip along with her dog auditioned through the Youtube auditioning process and performed their act in front of the judges in Birmingham. This is one of the stupidest act I have seen this year, but according to the judges, its great! Their act involves Pip singing Pie Jesu and puppy 'singing' with her. I can't help but question this act! How do we know that the dog is singing with her? To me it just sounds like it is howling, maybe it can't stand Pip singing that song to her. If so, isn't it classed as animal cruelty! Also what happens when they perform during the live show. Does the dog sing any other songs, or will we have to endure another Pie Jesu with an annoying dog. It reminds me of when I went to a wedding and had to listen to babies and children crying and screaming all through the ceremony. Not really what I call entertainment!

This man does one thing...he makes his eyes pop out of their sockets! That is it! He can do the left eye, or the right eye, or both eyes. So now we have seen that, what else is he going to be able to do, unless he can actually make them hang out of his face like the comedy glasses you can buy. No point in sending him through! Waste of a place!

It is a well-known fact that Simon Cowell is a huge fan of acts involving dogs. But when Melanie brought her two dogs along with her, she was hoping to re-create the extremely popular act 'Kate and Gin'. What actually happened was her dog act became a comedy act as she had no control over them. One chihuahuas went off and did her own thing, and the other one thought that this was the perfect opportunity to catch up on some sleep. Now I must admit I found it funny, but one of the questions the judges have to ask themselves is what would she be able to next time which will have the crowd in stitches once again. Because we know what is going to happen next time, is it going to have the same affect? I think we are going to be disapointed.

I hope these acts proves me wrong, but I really doubt that they will. Might have to change the channel when it is their turn.

BGT successful acts axed even before the next round!

Looks like the judges have been greedy when is comes to letting acts through to the next round. Their open door policy has kicked them in the backside and it has resulted in producers having to take control and axe acts who until today, thought they were through to the next round. Acts such as Hot Potato Theatre felt used, that they were axed before they has a chance to impress a second time around.

Lizzie Delves explains how excited they were that they got through that they started on a new routine straight away. Not being funny but their first routine wasn't very good anyway. 'Then we got a call saying 'Thanks but not thanks' It was frustrating but they showed us getting put through last Saturday, so viewers will think they'll see us again. Its unfair, we feel used'

A spokeswoman for ITV says '...All contestants are informed that they may not make it through to this stage and that footage from their audition may still be used.'

The problem with BGT is the judges! Since Simon and Piers left, neither of the replacements have stood their ground and have been bullied by the crowd which represent the general public, who kept Wagner and Jedward in the X Factor final for so long...(i realise i keep going on about it but i need to know why they did it!)

The most memorable moment in this years talent show is when the judges said no to The Highwaymen when everyone else thought they had talent. After receiving boos and jeers from the crowd and being questioned by Ant and Dec, rather than standing their ground, the give in and change their no to a yes! Now I'm glad The Highwaymen went through as they were great! But what I didn't like was how easily the judges gave in! They remind me of the Coalition!
