Another short week has gone by and as I sit here scoffing a kebab, it's time for another fun packed Britain's Got Talent! So, without further ado, tonight's first act is the Bosom Buddies, two men in drag who think they will have a starring act in Las Vegas... not quite sure it will get that far! What happened next was not to be expected... They sang... But they sounded like two women AND it actually sounded good?! Typically, David loved this act! Anything camp and he's all over it! But Simon was a little reserved when deciding. But with four 'yes' responses from the judges, they were singing their way through! With a montage of the 'bonkers' acts, we were treated to a man putting a sword down his throat and pulling a trailer with the crew on - from the end of the sword hanging out of his mouth and a lovely act doing 'Funkacise', a mixture of "funky dancing" and exercises. After all that excitement it was time for a break!

Next up we were treated to some rather interesting dance acts. A very camp dancer whose dreams of dancing in the West End were crushed by the four judges with Simon saying it looked like he had "walked into a kebab shop, drank two bottles of wine, got drunk, fell out on to the street. someone turns on Footloose and you start dancing." We were then graced with Walentina, whose 'different' style of dancing also went down like a lead balloon. A dance about friendship was next, which can only be described as very sloppy. They definitely need to re-evaluate their friendship with whoever told them that their dancing was good. But thankfully, saving the embarrassment was Mariella and Martin, from Holland, who have been dancing together for two years. Trust it to be people not from Britain who are providing the talent this year! They described themselves as a 'lift act' but it seemed more like he was flinging her around more than lifting her! She was like his rag doll. Nevertheless, they received a deserving standing ovation and there was no way that one of those judges would have said no.

Next up was dance troupe, Shockarellas. Thankfully, we haven't had to endure too many dance groups this year, I feel as though it's getting a bit tiresome with the amount of dance groups that have performed and got into the finals in the past. The same with the singing acts, I don't mind the young singers who blow us away (such as 2010's runner up Ronan Parke - who was amazing), I feel that the singers over sixteen years of age should apply for the X Factor as Britain's Got Talent seems like a fast track for singers who want to bypass having to compete against other singers. Rant over. We then were introduced to MckNasty, who happens to be Labrinth's older bother, who happens to be signed to Simon Cowell's label... coincidence much? His drumming was amazing to be fair, but was this just for show publicity?
An unusual act next, Thomas Bounce, a bounce juggler. Bounce juggling is "basically upside down juggling," or in other words - throwing balls at the floor and catching them. A lot of applause and shocked faces for a young boy throwing balls at the floor... Something that you tend to see in the holiday camps a lot from magicians. Simon buzzed the act, making him loose his rhythm and having to take a moment to get it back together, and the rest of the judges and Ant were not happy! Simon's main criticism happened to be the stairs were not good looking enough. After saying he didn't like the ping pong balls, Thomas corrected him and Ant came out from the wings to throw balls at Simon. With David and Amanda saying yes and Simon saying know, it was down to Alesha to make her decision. If she said no, Ant and Dec would throw balls at her, if she said yes she would be making a young teenager very happy. Luckily for him it was a yes!
More singers were showing us why they shouldn't compete, because they were all dreadful! Gwendolen Ellis turned down a ten month cruise contract to appear on the show, but Simon told her she should have taken the job... Which is right because she didn't get through! Twenty year old Alex Keirl, who was bullied at school for his singing (sob). If anything, he should have been bullied for his great singing. It was something that gave me slight goosebumps which rarely happens to me. A standing ovation from the room, there would have been something wrong with them if this guy did not get through!

And fitting in with the trend, the show has ended on a high and that's all there's time for this week sadly. We've got to wait another week for more excitement and frolics when it returns. Thanks for reading and I will see you next week!
