[cecil39]

Just been told that some idiot threw eggs at Simon on bgt last night, what was that all about? I missed it as was out.

Only done for a yolk....

[cazzz1975]

the cynic in me thinks it was a production planned attempt to grab newspaper headlines..

[albaqwerty]

agree with cazz, the act didn't bat an eyelid.

Just another Simon Cowell publicity stunt imo.

Don't watch it, never will, and turn the page in the paper when I see his name or see his photo.
Narcissus eat yer heart out.

yes it would be on iplayer, but I wont bother, there are times I would like to throw something at Simon, I just wondered, nothing newsworthy then.

It has to be a stunt.

As mentioned, the act didn't stop singing, or even falter for a moment.

And surely, someone would comment if a member of a choir turned up on stage for a live show with a box of eggs, which she then took on stage, and walked to the front and got four or five of them away before any security people appeared.

No, it just doesn't ring true, at all.

she was in a violin quartet that were in last years show and not put through to the final apparently, brain dead eejit, if she'd been in the USA I reckon she'd have been shot dead on the spot, they don;t mess about in theatres over there

cecil39 Some of us think that You're an idiot if you don't want to throw eggs at that Bloke !!

[Octavius]

Must admit, staged or not, I thought it was funny. Originally because it all kept going I thought she was part of the act and was throwing out flower petals or something (i.e. cheesey guff).

Seeing as she was sitting on a stage seat carrying a violin, I wondered where she'd hidden the box of eggs.

[ummmm]

It doesn't look like it was a stunt. Apparently it did ruin the act.

ummm - if it wasn't a stunt, how come Cowell was within range long enough for the silly woman to get her length and actually hit him?

And, this is the bit that i really can't see as being 'real' - how did neither of the singers falter even slightly? There was no break in either vocal, and neither of them seemed to think what was happening was worth looking around at anyone offstage - it just doesn't ring true.

[sir.prize]

A stunt? Well the singers didn't think so . . .

[ummmm]

It was discussed on TV yesterday. Apparently they did falter and didn't perform in a way (I don't know the name of types of singing) that they did in rehearsals. Because we hadn't seen their rehearsals we were non the wiser.

They were also talking about the fact that this viola player is going to struggle to get jobs in the future because she can't be trusted when her contracts are not renewed.

I'm not surprised the act carried on as normal; I've done various singing engagements over the years and you get used to carrying on while there's mayhem elsewhere on stage or in the audience! I was surprised at what a good shot she was - considering she's a woman! And I'm a woman so I can say that!!
