It’s the return of Britain’s Got Talent! For the 2012, Simon Cowell returns, joined by Amanda Holden and new judges Alesha Dixon and loveable Little Britain star David Walliams!
A group of headteachers have warned that constantly airing inappropriate content on TV before the watershed, while school age children are watching, is having a seriously detrimental effect on our young people.
There has of course been something of a hoohar over the ratings war between the BBC and ITV as their rival talent quest shows The Voice and Britain’s Got Talent have gone head-to-head in the battle for Saturday night viewers…
And because of a rather embarrassing defeat, The Voice was shifted to a later timeslot on Saturday nights, however, that didn’t stop comparisons between the two show’s viewing figures.
However, BGT judge Amanda Holden reckons the whole debacle is “silly,” and while speaking to Saturday magazine, she took the time to praise The Voice coaches Jessie J, Danny O’Donoghue, Sir Tom Jones and Will.i.am… Read more & comment »
Fans of Britain’s Got Talent last night met amazingly talented group Band of Voices during their audition, after which the judges, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon gave the singers resounding ‘yeses’, sending them into the next stage of the contest.
And this morning, top bookmakers Ladbrokes have revealed that Band of Voice are now the second favourites to win Britain’s Got Talent 2013.
The five-piece band wowed both the judges and bookies on Saturday night and the act are now given a 4/1 chance of performing in front of Her Majesty later on this year… Read more & comment »
Fans of Britain’s Got Talent watched in awe last night as we saw La Quebrada High Diving Productions auditioning for the show…
Their routine involved the troupe diving into a pool from a horrifying height, with one of the intrepid divers even setting himself alight before his terrifying leap into the water below.
However, diver Peter Waterfield – who partnered Tom Daley to fourth place in the ten-metre board synchronised event at the London Olympics last year – has revealed that although he looked fully composed during the audition, he was in fact petrified! Read more & comment »
Fans of gorgeous Britain’s Got Talent co-host Declan Donnelly will most likely know that he is – rather inexplicably if you ask me – single, and has been since he split from his former girlfriend Georgie Thompson in 2011…
However, he’s revealed that he’s now looking for love again, or rather, will be once his time consuming commitments to BGT are over for another year.
And Dec has a secret weapon in his romance armoury – which he’s keen to try out on any new lady who takes his fancy – a ukulele! And no, that’s not a euphemism, he’s actually the proud owner of a ukulele and he’s currently learning to play it. Read more & comment »
During last night’s edition of Britain’s Got Talent, the judges and the audience were in awe of dancer Falah Hassan, who we met under his stage name of Poppin’ Ron…
However, what the judges and viewers couldn’t possibly have known is that at the tender age of 12, Falah endured the nightmare of having to flee his home country of Syria after his parents were butchered by troops during Bashar al-Assad’s evil regime.
The Daily Mirror reports, “Falah, who won through to the next round, also revealed how he fled his homeland after his mum and dad’s murder and hid under a lorry to get into Britain… Read more & comment »
Whenever there’s any kind of event from the Simon Cowell stable – including One Direction events, X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent – you’re very likely to find Ian Royce, who is a ‘warm up man’ extraordinaire…
And brave Ian has taken the laudable step of revealing that he was the victim of multiple rapes in his youth.
The Daily Mirror reports, “On Saturday – his birthday – Ian Royce wrote a long confessional blog revealing his torment, which he said happened 31 years ago and then six years after that, on numerous occasions.”
He wrote, “I have suffered in silence for 31 years, full of shame, fear, anger, loneliness and self loathing… Read more & comment »
Aliki Chrysochou closed tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent show, with a pretty amazing performance of ‘Bring Me To Life’ by Evanescence.
The 29 year old music teacher revealed to the judges that she had overcome more than most people in her pursuit of a music career and told the panel that only a few years ago she was unable to even speak due to a serious illness.
Maarty Broekman certainly brought the crazy to Britain’s Got Talent this evening.
The quirky looking hopeful rocked up to the auditions, looking like an extra from Back To The Future and holding tight to his Keytar as he flirted with judge Alesha Dixon.
He revealed that he wants to help bring 80s music back into the charts and told Ant and Dec:
Band of Voices were one of the stand out acts on tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent show, however one or two of the singers may have seemed familiar.
Simon Cowell recognised 45 year old Lloyd Wade immediately when he came onto the stage, as he had previously appeared on the 2004 X Factor series as a contestant and later he worked with the vocal coaching team on the 2011 series, training singers such as Little Mix and Amelia Lily for the show.
