Before I start talking about who got through tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent semi finals, can I please mention how cheesy and ridiculous it was of the BGT producers to plaster a huge picture of Madonna’s children across the screen as she was singing The Greatest Love Of All.

I know that the British public are easy to manipulate, but this really was one step too far. The woman is not a great singer. She is a good singer who only ended up in the final because of her sob story. It is a sad story, there is no doubting that, and I would love for Madonna to earn enough money to bring her children to live with her in the UK. But this show is called Britain’s Got Talent, not Britain’s Got A HEART! I refuse to vote for someone just because some telly bigwig thinks he can make me cry by putting pictures of cute kids on a huge screen!

Anyway, they didn’t let Madonna go last so she didn’t get through to the finals thankfully. Not surprisingly the first act through to the final were the classical quartet Escala, who in my opinion deserve to win the whole series! The public vote left the Judges to choose between Craig Harper and Nemesis. Simon had to cast the deciding vote for the last place in the final, after each act received one vote each and he choose to put Nemesis through.

So the final lineup for the Britain’s Got Talent final tomorrow night will be:

-Kate & Gin
-Signature
-Andrew Johnston
-Cheeky Monkeys
-George Sampson
-Strike
-Nemesis
-Escala
