Shaun Smith performed on tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent and I’m still not sure why he got a standing ovation.

Shaun is a seventeen year old rugby player, who granted, has a nice singing voice. In his audition for the three judges he sang Ain’t No Sunshine’ and at one point I was sure the audience were listening to something different to me. Shaun can sing, in fact he is a pretty good singer, but he certainly wasn’t amazing. He lacked the wow factor and I’m really convinced that he got through to the next round because the judges thought he had ‘the look.’

People have been saying that Shaun could rival Susan Boyle. I just don’t see that happening.
