Britain's Got Talent 2013 - Week 2

We're back! It's the second week of Britain's Got Talent for 2013 and we are starting in Manchester. First off, it's dance duo AJ and Chloe. A fantastic duo who proved that at the age of eighteen, dance does appeal to youngsters (but not me!). I'm  sure Simon will definitely be booking them for his new strictly inspired show premiering on ITV in the autumn. Sadly, there was a few other dancers who hadn't quite practised all trying to get through, but none of them were up to the high standards of AJ and Chloe.

Over to Birmingham now, where the gorgeous Sinitta is in the audience! And out next act is singing duo Richard and Adam Johnson who are brothers from North Wales. Unfortunately, I am not into opera singing, so this act did not appeal to me, but the reaction from the crows and the judges were incredibly positive. Even as someone who does not like opera, I cannot begin to tell you how outstanding these two were! Who would have thought that two sandwich making brothers would have such a great talent?!

Next up was unemployed singing act Two Ways. There song 'Up and Down' could possibly contribute to the reason as to why they were unemployed... If they are chasing the dream of being singers, it's definitely time to give up. With arguments over the judges, Simon and David sent the two guys packing, whilst Amanda sent her water over Simon's head. This was the start of the boy girl divide. A tap dancer was the next to split opinions but the biggest feud was thanks to the Pop'Arazzi Crew, who in my opinion where awful! Even as an audience member, I did not enjoy it, and the second time round I did not! David and Simon didn't like it, but with Amanda and Alesha loving it, they stormed out in rage when the boys did not want to put them through. Eventually, David caved in they guys got through. Was it a good act to put through? No. So with that, David and Simon were left to judge on their own and put ex-pastry chef, Neil, through to the next round - despite him not being the best of singers.

So with their differences put aside and Amanda and Alesha back in the room, the CEO Dancers took to the stage. What I can only describe as having a fit on stage, they bootyshook their way through to the next round. With Simon saying how much he 'loved' them and the girls finally agreeing with the boys, could this be good news for the rest of the acts of the day?

Afro headed singer and pianist Tariq was next to get for votes through from the judges, followed by five year old Jordan Nash. With Nash purely getting through on the 'cute' vote thanks to his cute face and cute dancing will this streak of people getting through end? Well Jordan O'Keefe was going to make sure he got through. The definite teenage girl's vote, who will purely get through the semi final rounds thanks to the good voice and good looks that teenage girls all over the country will fall in love with.

Next was On The Edge. A boyband who were so out of tune that Simon even proclaimed they would have no chance of ever getting a recording contract. But saving the stage was mum of two, Francine Lewis, who is an impressionist. What a breath of fresh air Francine was to the show! Portraying Stacey Solomon, Amy Childs, Katie Price, Holly Willoughby and Cheryl Cole, it was a change from the show which has been full of singers this evening. It's rare that we see female impressionists on the show, but Francine proved that there are some still left out there. As long as she can do more impressions of other celebrities, she will go far.

The last act of the show was MC Boy, or MC Prick, which is what he should have called himself. We're shown him trying to chat every girl up he can get the chance to talk to and then he tells everyone that he has a dream that he auditioned for the show... and didn't get through... Not quite what you should be letting them know. With a VERY bad dance routine which involved the funky chicken and an awful rap, his future isn't looking very bright. However, he got the audience dancing, Ant and Dec dancing and even the judges (minus Simon) dancing. Luckily for him, he got through, but perhaps he will turn out like last year's novelty act Mr Zip... who we haven't heard from since...

Sadly that is all for this week and I will be again getting withdrawal symptoms from the show! I'll be back, same time, same place next week for the third week of the 2013 auditions!
