Britain’s Got Talent: Sue Son and Janine ‘Addicted’ Disappoint The Judges
One duo hoping that they can impress the Judges on tomorrow night’s Britain’s Got Talent, are best friends Sue Son and Janine aka Addicted (both 23 year old students). The pair met at school and have been best friends ever since. As Janine explains to the Judges their’s is a “classical act” with Janine on the keyboards and Sue on the electrical violin. Janine goes on to explain that she “is a composer as well and I wrote the piece we are going to play called Chance”.
The Judges are not impressed with Janine’s composition and all three don’t take long to buzz with Simon saying, “I think you are both talented musicians, especially you with the violin, but I don’t think the two go together at all. I thought the song was dreary and indulgent and I don’t see where you are going with this”. With Amanda agreeing that it would be “something she’d hear in Covent Garden and it sounded like you were both playing completely different pieces of music”.
It’s a resounding no from all three Judges, but as Addicted leave the stage and the Judges talk between themselves all three agree that violinist Sue impressed them and they ask producers to bring Sue back on stage on her own.
With Janine left at the side of stage Sue goes back on to talk to the Judges and Simon has a proposal for her, “we have had a conversation and we think you are really good but none of us think the act is very good, what we want to ask is if you will come back to audition on your own tomorrow?” Sue looks torn with the decision in hand, does she betray her best friend or take the Judges up on their offer, with the audience all shouting “do it” and with Simon pushing for an answer she only has seconds to decide.
We won’t have to wait long for Sue’s decision and not long after she returns to see the Judges, on her own. After being given the opportunity to audition as a soloist Sue is hoping that this time around she will get a yes.
Before she starts her performance Simon is keen to know if the friends have fallen out now Sue has decided to audition alone, “of course not, we’re still the best of friends”.
Playing Storm by Vanessa Mae on her electrical violin, Sue Son manages to complete her performance without one buzz from the Judges and gets a standing ovation from the audience. Amanda says, “I know it was a tough decision to leave your best friend, but that is going to be the best decision you ever made because that was phenomenal” and Simon agrees also describing the act as “phenomenal”. With a stark contrast to the previous comments the Judges delivered it looks like Sue Son definitely could have made the best decision of her life.

hello sue has made the decision to work alone but still be friends with genine and she has gotten through to the next round.
I think that the judges and the audience were blithering idiots to split those two up and force Sue to betray her friend as true friendship lasts for a lifetime and isn’t something that you can get in an instant…
They only split them up because they wanted to keep people entertained – if you get my drift.
Sue was good, but she wasnt THAT good. its because shes pretty.
i think Sue has made the right choice since she wanted to do this ever since she was a little girl..so yeah…go Sue Son!!

It was clearly very difficult for Sue to agree to come back, leaving her friend behind. A good friend would however say – “Go on Sue, if we can’t make it together as an act, don’t let this spoil your chances.”
I did think the original composition was not too bad – but I do think it was an indulgent decision to make for the talent show – and this would have been Janine’s doing. The pair would not be judged on Janine’s composition being fairly good – they were judged on the performance.
They should have chosen a top class piece of music to play and then maybe they would still be together.
I thought Sue was really pretty – but I also think she played really really well. A part from Jamie the Welsh guy this was the performance of the show. She is not going to win but this will help her in a career in music. She has definite potential as a commercial musician – and being pretty does help a lot.
janine shouldn’t be treated as a best friend” if she was a best friend she should’ve forgiven sue and understand that she cant turn down so many people, janines too childish
the other “best friends” shouldnt act as if she’s being betrayed…best friends won’t stop each other for pursuing each other’s future…Sue was just choosing what she believes is right at the moment…

You idiot, true friendship would mean that her friend would be ok and support her throughout.
She wasnt forced to ‘betray’ her friend, she was asked to come back on her own. There was no forcefulness about it when Simon asked her ‘Yes or No?’.
I wouldn’t really say Sue abandoned her friend as that is so not true. The JUDGES never liked her partner so they split them up, thats all it is — how would that make Sue disloyal at all? this isn’t really abandonment is it — everyone could see that Sue wanted them both to go through. To face reality the composition by Janine (performed together with Sue on their first audition) just didnt work well at all, the violin was too overwhelming, it took the spotlight — hardly hear the keyboard for that matter and it didnt sync together.
So my guess is her partner went off in a huff because she felt so humiliated that the judges left bad remarks about her and not because Sue “abandoned” her who decided to audition for the second time as a soloist.
Such oppertunities are hard to come by, to kick start their music careers, so if i was in the same situation, i would have done the same.
In my opinion, i believe Sue’s quite innocent for being taunted, and marked as the one disloyal in many discussions similar to this.
i think sue was out of order, she went on with her friend and came off without her! she should of went on and came of!!
if she was a good best friend, she would NOT have done that!! bang out xx
i can believe janiyne cut off all contact shes attention seeking !!!!
In this world,a lot of people don’t understand what the word between friend,good friend,and best friend.With Janines and Sue,I think their friendship is not as close as they call best friend. The word best friend is what ever and when ever you need,I’ll be there.”NO matter what”
I think Sue is 100% doing the right thing.But I would say give them time.time will tell you everything,neither she is your best friend or not.
man my best friend would never do that to me
we work as a team and no one can toouch us
