Well, Britain’s Got Talent is back with a bang!
What a way to start the series - we saw everything from the ridiculous to the sublime! ‘Doubletake’ and their tambourines, sorry timbrels, kicked off this year’s series, didn’t quite make the cut and off we went. We’ve barely scratched the surface of the talent we saw but what about little Chloe who blew everyone away with her stunning rendition of ‘White Cliffs of Dover’… It was deservedly met with a standing ovation and a lot of leaky eyes from the audience.
Tobias Mead got a fantastic reaction with a very creative performance, another skilled street dancer to add to the already bursting list of street dancers Britain’s Got Talent has discovered over the years. And wasn’t it great to see Kieran the drummer boy back? So many of you were gutted after he didn’t make it through last year, (as were we) so it was a real treat to see him back and finally getting the recognition he deserves. It was touch and go there for a while wasn’t it, but the judges’ decision to send him away, dump his Mum and Dad and let come back as a soloist was absolutely the right call! We both let out a collective sigh of relief and a shout of joy, (not easy, try it), when he made it through. As with Chloe, he’s a lovely kid with a good chance in the competition this year and is it just us or does he remind anybody else of a young Adrian Chiles!
The other big story of the show of course was that Simon was stuck down by flu, which meant there was a space on the panel that desperately needed to be filled. And who else can desperately fill a space quite like Louis Walsh!? The other two, Piers and Amanda were like school kids when the proper teacher is away and you’ve got a supply teacher in, they were quite mischievous. It was actually quite nice to have Louis around the place for a few days, and I think he enjoyed being out of his sheltered accommodation for a bit, bless him! And boy oh boy he absolutely loved that buzzer didn’t he? He couldn’t get enough of it, watch out for him bringing his own buzzer along to next year’s X Factor auditions!
Simon’s illness meant he missed out on one of the best dog acts we’ve ever seen on the show, Tina and her best friend Chandi. They were brilliant weren’t they!? Simon is a huge dog lover and is still gutted to this day that he wasn’t there for their audition. Their appearance has created a bit of an argument between the two of us though, we can’t decide whether Kate and Gin the dog from series two are better than Tina and Chandi. We started to argue about it and we can’t quite agree so gang, please help us decide in our…
Big Question Of The Week…
Were Tina and Chandi better than Kate and Gin?
Let us know in the comments below!
Until next week,
Ant & Dec.
