Britain’s Got Talent Week 1

April 14th, 2009

So, this weekend saw the return of Britain’s Got Talent, and what a phenomenal first show it was! If you were one of the millions who tuned in, what did you think of some of the first few acts to hit our screens?

Father and son Greek dancing duo Stavros Flatley had us and we’re guessing the whole country in stitches with their hilarious take on Riverdance - we certainly weren’t expecting their comedy routine and it definitely had the desired effect on the judges who put them through to the next round. We can’t wait to see what they’ll do next!

Other highlights for us included Flawless whose dancing skills were just that, and Susan Boyle who literally blew EVERYONE away with her beautiful singing voice, and even nearly reduced Amanda to tears! And then there were the not so good acts… the Ferraro Rocher man only managed a paltry four chocolates but our very own Ant scoffed five! How many do you reckon you could put away in a minute?

Leave us a comment and let us know who your faves are now!

i have to say although there have been some amazing acts on this show, GOOD EVANS are still my favourite, i fell in love with them when they sang and i think it was great to get some family acts on the show for once (:


Jackie says:

OMG that Gymnastics club Allstarz were amazing its so nice to see something so different and refreshing rather than singers all the time! What a talent those balances were so high hope they get through


STAN says:

GREAT SHOW … SUGGEST YOU SELL YOUR SHOW TO THE USA AND CANADIAN MARKETS..WHY NOT.. PURE PROFIT ..I DONT THINK YOU’LL HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING SPONSORS ON BOARD


Livstar says:

ATTENTION: for all you people not from the UK, and some of the ppl in the Uk who don’t Know:

Ant is the dark haired tall guy, who stands on the left. He has amazing eyebrows.
Dec is the short, light brown haired guy with chubby cheeks, and a mischievous smile. :D

hope that helps :D

i heard some guy on the radio earlier, duno who he was cuz he was quite boring and i have selective hearing. he said he wanted to send u both on a one way trip to the moon! well, ant and dec fans, we’d better go buy our tickets too… (the rocket would be well over booked because so many ppl wud wanna go). then see what this guy says! ha.


Izzie says:

OMG!!! That little Shaheen is my idol! I cnt stop smilin! He was sooooo good! sometimes a little thing can change ya llife! I wanted flawless to win… but he is a born WINNER!

Hi Guys,
Great show on Saturday. Absolutly loved “Stavros Flatly’s” take on “Riverdance”. My family and I were completely surprised by Susan Boyles performance, completely unexpected!
On BGMT, I loved it when Stephen stole some of your “secret” stash. BTW Steven your also another one of my favourite TV presenter’s aswell. I also loved the bit when your both jelouse of Stephens props, made me laugh even more than I already was.
Looking forward to Saturday.
Talk soon
Love Claire xxoo


Kay says:

Hey, great show! Flawless were great but I loved andy, sooo funny me and my brother were in stitches. I liked the singing family and I thought it was a bit harsh of the judges saying they should split up. I can eat more Ferraro rochers than that guy! And he blamed it on Steven. One of my favourite parts was on bgmt when Steven was waving a flag and ant and dec were going itv2 have props, where r r props?! LOL love u both loads xxxxxxxx


Dave-NYC says:

I’m a gay male living in NYC. Not to embarrass the guys but I’ve had a long term respect & BIG CRUSH on both Ant & Dec. I’m so happy that they are part of the over the top viral video and world wide exposure due to “Britain’s Got Talent” & Susan Boyle.
Well deserved for all around & again here’s hoping this expands Ant & Dec’s US popularity.

Mike Drips says:

Never heard of you two guys. Seems like the TV broadcasting from the UK just doesn’t quite reach California, but it was really entertaining to watch you two and the incredible Susan Boyle.
Um, not easy to find out your names. Perhaps your mums could embroider your names on your shirts for us overseas viewers?
Anyway try to tweet on Twitter a bit more. Just put down the pint for a second and use the keyboard. It’s rather simple.


Jude says:

Great show - Susan Boyle brought tears to my eyes, Flawless were just that, and Stavros Flatley were hilarious! The stars of the show, however, were of course, Ant and Dec :)

Love you loads

Tom J says:

The best was Susan Boyle. You two were so good at keeping her relaxed and positive (”I’m going to make that audience rock!”) before she went on-stage to face the judges. You reminded me of nephews encouraging their favorite aunt to do her party turn.


Angela Hall says:

thought last sat’s show was the funniest thing i’ve seen, just what i needed to make me laugh.
Well done to Ant for eating the Ferraro rocher, Flawless group were brilliant and Andy’s dancing how funny was he and you guys going on and getting him! HA HA, can’t wait for this sat’s show.

Keep doing what your doing.

Livstar says:

also wanted to say well done ant for beating tht guy with the choccies. i have to say he was a bit of an idiot. i personally think he shouldnt have entered, he had even managed to match the current world record ever before, so he shouldnt have tried to beat it. well done ant, you beat him without training. :D


Livstar says:

Wow… what else can i say?! it was brilliant. its the first time iver ever properly decided to watch BGT. i saw bits of it last year but wasnt oo fussed. im glad ive been turned onto it tho. i really am. susan boyle was such a shocking act. bless her, with a makeover charge she could go far. the greek father and son were billiant. my step dad laughed so hard tht he cried. flawless really were flawless. Fabia, that woman who got her boobs out? well, good for her. she’s obviously a brave, self-confident, self assured lady. good on her lol. i loved how ant ran out and gave her the hat to cover herself up…. i dont think tht the hat was big enought to cover them both tho sumhow. dec was peeing himself laughing through that performance tho wasnt he! he just stood there laughing himself silly, which made me laugh even harder. great show. brilliant to have summat to watch on saturday nights now. x


hayley says:

Hi guys
I loved BGT on saturday is was brilliant and its great to see some good programmes on the tele was a change!
My favourite has to be flawless they were fantastic! they were incredible. Also the funny man with the swaying arms was hilarious and it was so funny when u guys went on and joined in and then dragged him off the stage! lol I reckon he should of got through :) Also well done Ant for eating more Ferraro Rocharers than the bloke who auditioned! lol Keep making us laugh guys xx love u loads xx cant wait for next weeks show even though its only on for an hour :(


Holzii says:

Fab 1st week guys!!! oh course like every1 else i luved FLAWLESS they were just amazing. i cant believe that james only ate 4 Ferraro Rochers when ant ate 5, he also seemed pleased that he ate 4 like it was a big deal. i thought it was a bit harsh when he blamed stephen coz he didnt win. lol. i loved the swayer dude was funny aswell especially when you guys had to literally pull him off stage before he could wreck anymore of the set. i was blown away at susans singing. she was ace.!!!. we were all taking the mick out of her when she first came on, she reminded us of someone last year. the guy who did impressions of the 3 MPs and for one of them he put a fake beard on. if you remember him u will c the similarities. lololol. well dun guys on a great show. Hope next weeks shows is gonna b as gud. kisses always holzii xxxxxxx


kieran says:

hi guys i would like to say that my favourite act was the man who just swaved his hands around in the air and the best part was when ant put the track back on and dec went to go and get him !


Laura says:

Fantastic first show guys ! My favourite act was Flawless, who were really
professional and slick looking.
It was so funny when Ant put the track back on for the man who wouldn’t leave the stage,and kept dancing (swaying).Then when Dec danced onto the stage to get the man off,and Ant coming on to help.
Simon’s face was a picture ! You two are so funny,just like naughty schoolboys.Also I love when you both take the mickey out of Simon’s voice/accent.It is very good.You two are just so down to earth and that is so refreshing ! There is no putting on any act-you both seem just the same Geordie lads that you were years ago.And you seem proud of your Geordie roots,which is great to see.I love some of your little ‘Geordieisms’.It is great that you haven’t seemed to have changed the guys that you are,and are proud of your hometown.
I am a Newcastle United fan too !!
Anyway,keep up all the great work.Keep looking after each other.You are both so lucky to have such a close and great relationship.It’s very rare to have a soulmate like you both have in each other !
Love to you both.xxx


Sarah L says:

Loving ‘Flawless’ so far, but ‘Stavros Flatley’ were hilarious!
The saga of Ferraro Rocher guy (on both BGT and BGMT) was fun to watch, good on you Ant for getting more than him ;)


slc baby! :D says:

Gotta love flawless. my fave so far. best performance i have EVER seen. Pure Talented.
Loved elliot - saw him at the birmingham auditions.
Funniest so far was ‘the dance king’ on britains got more talent.

Charlotte says:

Tina Finch says:

My favourite would have 2 b Flawless at the moment :) But the best worst audition was Andy the dancer. :D I was actually in the audience that day and found it hilarious when u Dec came out on stage waving your arms 2!! It was a shame we didn’t c that much more of u and Ant during the day as u were backstage most of the time :( But it was lovely shaking your hand as u went up 2 do a link that really made my day!! :D Thanks Xx


Kat says:

my favourite has to be Flawless they were AMAZING!!!
i almost cried with laughter at the man who was eating the ferrero rochers well done Ant for beating him!! =P
however, my favourite worst audition was Andy the dancer [or swayer] loved your dancing Dec when he had to be removed from the stage hehe =D
a brilliant show hope the next show is just as gd if not better =P


Kayleigh says:

Great 1st week!
Well Done Ant for eating more Ferraro Rocher’s.
Flawless have got to be my favourite - they were amazing!
I agree with lisa antndecscottishlass, Andy the dancer’s act was hilarious, Simon’s face,when Ant put the music on the second time lol and especially when Dec danced onto the stage.


Danielle says:

My favourites were Flawless but the funniest were the Fererro Rocher lad (who Ant won), the bloke waving his arms who Ant and Dec had to pull off the stage and the woman who stripped at the end. The show wouldn’t be the show without Ant and Dec though


Heather says:

i reckon i could probaly beat 7 quite easilyy xD
and btw i watched this morning, this morning and Ferne Britten beat you Ant, She ate 6 :P

And Flawless were WOAHH
and the good evans were soo cute :)
but they were on this morning today and Elliots broken his voice now…bit of a problem :S
and tbh me and my mate were taking the piss out of Susan at first, and when she started singing we were like ohh erm WOW!
Sooo unxpected

and did anyone watch the inbetweeners on Thursday?
Charlie Wernham form last year was on it xD

cant wait till next weeks!

Chloe says:

Hey Ant and Dec,

Cant wait for the next show on saturday will be great

Katy-Ann says:

Ant eating the Ferrero Rochers! relly Funny

5 Ferrero Rochers for me


Emma says:

Flawless were my favourite! They were amazing. I love the dance acts.
I dont see how the woman who stripped got through.
It was a great show


Sophie says:

OMG at Fabia Everyone’s faces were hilarious!!

Loved Flawless - AMAZING.

The singer Susan Boyle was fantastic - totally did not expect her to sound so good!

Stavros Flatley were good.

Ant & Dec made me laugh a lot especially with Ant eating the Ferrero Rochers!


lisa antndecscottishlass says:

my favourite has got to be andy the dancer the best part was when dec came on dancin

but im stickin with the scots susan boyle cos i was in the audience that day n she blew me away


Loz says:

I had a Ferraro Rocher easter egg- i managed 7 but i dont eat the nuts in the middle- so it doesnt count :(

Gotta say Flawless were my favourite, but that woman or stripped will scar me purely by having to tell my family that she wasnt wearing paper union jacks over her top…!

But yeah the boys certainly made the show, well worth the 11 million viewers- well done guys!
