BGT Wild Card

[lankeela]

Does this mean they will allow back an act that has been booted off? If so my money is on the lad who sung a song to his girlfriend - didn't he sign up with another company so couldn't continue? If so I bet he has got out of it and will come back and win the final.

[vodkancoke]

From what I understand there will be a wildcard from each night so I think 5 wildcards in total are allowed back

He had signed to another show and he was trying to get out of the contract. Knowing how Simon Cowell's shows work, he will be back!

[MASS1961]

I think there's only 1 wild card, otherwise they would've put 3 through each night?

[vodkancoke]

Apologies! Mass1961 you are correct. The judges have a wildcard vote from the rejected 35 acts...I'm not sure who gets the final say though!

I'd hate for the lad who was in another show to get the wild card-it would be so unfair to the rest

[JackDanielsU]

This guy is in the semifinals though? so he has a chance anyway of getting to the finals

It absolutely won't be the lad who sang the song to the girl he likes. He was chucked out.

My money is on either the magicians or the Twist & Pulse dance troupe.

[vodkancoke]

JackDaniels, different guy. They guy we are talking about didn't get to the live shows because he had signed a contract with another tv show.

[sp1814]

It's a real pity that he was signed to another show, but in terms of BGT, it's actually quite good, because there's another guitar-playing young chap (Sam Kelly, who was put through last night) and they would've cancelled each other out if they both went through to the finals.

It's all a bit moot though - the top three will be Jonathan & Charlotte (opera singers), The Lovable Rogues and Only Boys Allowed.

Impossible to say who will win, but I can see all three acts being picked up by record companies after the competition closes.

He is back in - I saw it on ITV website

[Mick-Talbot]

I thought , Sams version of Iris was bland

[MASS1961]

He's on next!!! Not sure I agree?

[dr pop]

Sp1418, while I would agree re Jonathan and Charlotte and the loveable rogues methinks the other top 3 place will go to Ashleigh and pudsey :)

[sp1814]

Oh...hang on!

He's on tonight's how!

All bets are off now...

[lankeela]

Aha!

[ELVIS68]

I think The Loveable Rouges will win it after the amount of time they had for their first audition, they were filmed out and about driving their car, then filmed at home in their garden shed/ games room.

Personally I think they sound too Lily Allenish

[vodkancoke]

Is anyone else as confused as me?? lol I must have missed being told he was coming back lol

Had to leave a comment about this programme somewhere and this is as good a place as any.
I've not long left work, where in the rest room a member of staff asked me to switch the TV over to BGT.
I would never watch this programme of my own volition and tonight gave me another reason (as if I needed another) to never do so.
I sat incredulous at what was billed as an 'act'.
Could someone please explain to me what the talent, skill or entertainment value is in watching a fully grown adult sing a song in a Dalek voice with a glittery saucepan on his head? Anyone?
Am I SERIOUSLY expected to believe that people actually watch this drivel and furthermore a panel of judges deem it worthy of televisual viewing?
I often despair at the utter sh!te that is passed as prime time viewing and entertainment on TV but this seriously left me literally open mouthed at how banal and stupid it was.

Rant over.

[ELVIS68]

Granted Philtaz but wait until you see the dancing dog

Honestly - tonight was the weakest show of the week. Think of it as the modern equivalent of 'Opportunity Knocks'. Monday and Tuesday night had the best acts...if you look up 'Jonathan & Charlotte BGT' on YouTube, you'll see what I mean.
