Yes, there were some very good acts on there again tonight.
The Vietnamese duo were fantastic.
I agree, I was expecting them to get the golden buzzer but they didnt.

I did watch it and yes... My ex has texted each week to guess which act made me cry this time. He's always right :-)
The show should be re-named 'The Worlds got talent'. Plus it now seems that the saddest story some acts can air, then the better it is for their success.

I didn’t see it last night, but last week we had a magician tugging at heart strings and if this tugging continues I shall abandon the show altogether, as I have the X-Factor for the same reason. I detest anything designed specifically to generate support by tugging at the heart strings - Children in Need, etc., included. I don’t want to watch people crying - I want to be entertained.
I don't think it should be open unless you are resident in the UK, it's not as though they dint have their own version.

But have to admit those brothers were fantastic. I, too, thought they would get the golden buzzer.
The aphasic (inability to speak)comedian made me feel very uncomfortable and embarrassed and in mu opinion should not have been eligible for the show.
Are you saying the should have a clause saying that acts with disabilities need not apply?
Mamy...no i am not.
I just feel that people with cerebral disorders as i have described, should not be eligible.
We have had many threads on AB criticising comedians who make jokes about the disabled, indicating that it is bad taste. I feel that in this case, for me, it was uncomfortable.......like a performing bear.
I guess appreciation of humour is a personal matter then.

Hi choice, his routine - and it was clever
I agree with Sqad. He wasn't at all funny in my opinion, just uncomfortable viewing. Certainly not, as stated by one judge, the funniest comedian they have ever had on the show. Same as the bumble bee dancers. Good on the little girl, but got the sympathy vote. Now the Vietnamese brothers were fantastic . They should have got the golden buzzer.
mamy....I am not saying it wasn't clever....it was, but it made me feel uncomfortable and in my opinion was out of place.
I don't often agree with Naomi, but I also don't wish to be made to feel emotional in the way that mass-appeal shows like this do.

If I wanted back stories, I am sure the media will produce them, for a long back story to accompany one act is an unfair advantage, people are voting for the tragedy affecting one member, not the talent of the troupe as a whole, which is unfair to both, and to everyone else on the show.

I am going to have to stop watching this show - David Walliams' creepy on-going campathon is really getting on my wick.

It's only the stratospheric beauty of Alisha Dixon that keeps me viewing at all!
I agree the duo were great .I did say to hubby the girl dancers will get through even if they were no good .
A great show. I loved the singing Priest and hoped he would get the golden buzzer. I agree with Sqad about the 'comedian'.
It now transpires Father Ray Kelly has previously had a recording contract and released albums - although not against the rules a little more upfront honesty wouldn't go amiss in some cases.
Just saw him again on our local BBC NE News. Apparently he’s well known on the working men’s club circuit up here.

So he does it a lot. I didn’t find it awkward at all.
The disabled bloke I thought his act was very funny.
hereIam - // A great show. I loved the singing Priest and hoped he would get the golden buzzer. I agree with Sqad about the 'comedian'. //

The priest falls into that odd category of 'entertainment' that the industry has cottoned onto in recent years.

A similar thing is the 'Military Wives' choir - the notion that somehow a group of women whose only tangible link to each other is being married to a serving military man, will make a choir good enough to sell CD's is seriously tenuous, but it works for the people who like that kind of thing.

Closer to this example is 'The Priests' - again the notion that men who do the same job will make a good choir is actually nonsensical when you think about it.

With regards to a singing priest, I am minded of Doctor Johnson's witty observation - "This is akin to a dog walking on its hind legs It is not that it is not done well, rather that one is surprised to see it done at all."
