Britain's Got Talent is back and with plenty of talent pouring in during the auditions, it's a quick start to the show with out first few acts. 2's Country start the show on a low with their awful country singing leaving the judges with sour faces. Do these people not listen to themselves singing?!
As the auditions and the talent 'pours' in, there's a lot of awful comedians. I think a lot of them really need to try their jokes out on an actual audience before trying out at the auditions. But 21 year old comedian Paul Stark hits a new low by telling plenty of awful jokes. He then goes on to insult the audience so is sent packing by Simon. Then onto the stage is young comedian Jack Carroll a fourteen year old aspiring comedian with cerebral palsy, whose jokes are all based around him and his condition. Receiving a standing ovation from the judges and audience, Jack not only shows that there are some funny young comedians around, but it is also okay to make jokes about the disabled in the right context. Most people see the disabled as a taboo subject in the comedy circuit, but Jack has proven that it can be funny.
With Simon ill, it's just the three judges putting people through, so could this mean lots of weird acts going through? Well Sia Lord was definitely a weird one and he got through... COME BACK SIMON! Next up is Martin Healey, a man dressed as a vicar with a broom dressed as a nun. Why anyone would want to dance to Adelvice with a puppet is beyond me, yet why anyone would think this is a talent confuses me. But, sweet talking his way through saying he'd be a sumo wrestler in the next round is how he convinced the three judges that he should progress.
Thankfully, Simon returns just in time for eleven year old Arisxandra Libantino who brought the house down! With a rendition of Jenifer Hudson's 'One Night Only', Arisxandra received a standing ovation and a 'yes' from all four judges. Could this be the first year a young singer wins after the amazing Ronan Parke sadly lost out to Jai McDowall?
So with the start of the new series, the judges and acts are all excited, but some of the acts are not necessarily getting into that spirit with their acts. Such as housewife and chair exerciser, Ceri Graham. Until she takes off her clothes that is..! Every man in that room definitely had 100% concentration whilst watching this act. Coaxed by David Walliams, Simon is forced upon stage for his own lap dance from Ceri and partly from David. Never has Simon ever been so sure about putting an act through than he has with Ceri. So if you want to know how to get through, just make sure you're female, wear as little clothing as you possibly can and gyrate around a chair!
Now, I am not trying to discriminate against other nations or countries, but the whole title of 'Britain's Got Talent' surely means that only British citizens should be allowed to participate? But then again, a slightly overweight Italian lady singing Italian songs is something good to laugh at. Edgar from Latvia, shows us that the Europeans are no better than us Brits at auditioning and that perhaps we do have a small ounce of talent! That is until the Attraction black light theatre audition. An amazing dance group that perform behind a screen making lots of different shapes and objects with their bodies. From churches and a car, to Stonehenge and hearts, they had it all! Accompanied by Emeli Sandé's 'Read All About
It', this act will definitely progress far in the competition,
leaving most people with tears in their eyes.
The final act, Alice Fredenham, I was in the audience for and the atmosphere and response to her was electrical in the room! A very moving singer who didn't believe in herself and has stage fright, but has the potential to win the competition and become a worldwide phenomenon. With moneybags flashing in Simon's eyes, she will get to the final. This girl's voice is unique and she deserves to go far regardless of the competition! Unfortunatly she didn't tell anyone she was auditioning because she didn't want to let them down, but I bet when she got home her family were the most proud of her they ever have been!
Just before she left the stage, I saw half of my head on screen! But that's all there is for this week unfortunately and we have to wait another week for more 'talent' and surprises! I will undoubtedly be in anticipation all week!
