Guilty Pleasure: BGT

I confess to having watched BGT this weekend! I know I'm not the only one! What I wondered was do they have some kind of 'seeding' system whereby the best acts are spread over all the semi-finals. There seemed to be several acts on last night's show which could have progressed to the final - the girl with the electronic violin, for example and all the judges had seemed to think highly of the boy band which came third. My money is on Pudsey the cute dancing dog and Ashley his trainer.

Greatnan I like children to be seen as natural as possible. I would also prefer to hear them singing songs that are more appropriate. No matter which acts go through to the final, they are all well deserving. It would be my worst nightmare to perform on a vast stage, in front of judges and an audience of millions [if you include television viewers] I made my mind up the moment I heard Charlotte and Jonathan sing. Jonathan's voice sent shivers down my spine. He's also a very likeable, decent young man. Charlotte must have worked so hard to boost his confidence. flowers

If a dog can win BGT, then so could I! Shame on you Simon C for being so wet. angry

My OP said my money was on Pudsey and Ashleigh. For once, I was right! Sadly the said money was only metaphorical. grin

Technical term 'knackered' had about 2 hours sleep last night due to arthritic pain. Work tomorrow, so off to bed.
Sleep well all of you!smile

I think Ashleigh needs to go solo. Pudsey is holding her back.

What happens if Pudsey goes to the Big Doggy Place in the Sky before the Royal Variety Show? It could happen; Will Ashleigh have to return her 500k? wink

Oh, Gally! He isn't a very young dog. Didn't she get him for her 11th birthday? She's still a teenager, I think. She's planning to set up as a dog trainer and is obviously very gifted in that direction, so will doubtless be training Pudsey's successors for years to come, but not in time for the Royal Variety Show unless she has something else up her sleeve.

Lol Gally we were saying the very same! On a similar but different note...couldn't believe that Jonathan and Charlotte were only 16 and 17. The maturity of their voices was stunning. They should have won IMHO

We put in 3 votes between us for Only Boys Aloud, I thought they were wonderful! Not sure if Jonathan could have stood up to the pressure if he and Charlotte had won, they are very good though.
