Well hello again you!
Firstly we hope you all enjoyed last week’s show as much as we did, over 12 million of you tuned in - can you believe it!? Britain’s Got Talent has well and truly begun - it’s all over the telly, the newspapers, the internet - you just can’t escape the BGT juggernaut at the moment and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Week two now and still the talent keeps on coming. Saturday’s show set a new benchmark for gross, yet worryingly compelling acts in the form of Stevie Starr aka ‘The Regurgitator’, an act we hope you watched AFTER you’d had you tea! A man so in control of his stomach he puts belly dancers around the country to shame. Watching from the side of the stage was gripping and it is with some slight grimacing that we can verify we heard the noise of the coins clicking together as they fell into his stomach… gross, yet neither of us could avert our eyes as the human cash machine as he did his thing. As you all know, we’ve had farting acts and burping acts but the sight of a man chucking up cash proved to be one of the most grossly compelling forms of entertainment either of us have ever seen…and when he swallowed the billiard ball, we damn near wiped a tear away from our eyes. If money eating, ball swallowing regurgitating is wrong then we don’t want to be right!
(Incidentally, please don’t try to do any of Stevie’s tricks at home, trust us when we say it wouldn’t end well!)
Less disgustingingly, there was another dog act, which needed to be something special to beat the dynamic duo of Tina and Chandi last week. So as Melissa took to the stage armed with a guitar playing canine in the shape of her dog Laika, you can imagine how excited we were at the prospect of a dog vs. dog final…..it soon became apparent that Laika had never played a guitar in her life. In fact it looked like she’d never even seen one!
She was confused, embarrassed and as resentful of the guitar as she was of Melissa for putting her through such an ordeal! Simon of course is still determined to find a dog capable of playing an instrument - so if any of you out there have a dog you think could master a trumpet/piano/guitar or even kazoo; you have a year to practice. We’ll see you at the 2011 auditions!
Other highlights for us this week included ’The Arrangement’, the classical music group with a modern ‘pop’ twist. They were amazing, we’re hoping they get through to the semi finals, but while their version of Beyonce and Lady Gaga was brilliant, it was nothing compared to Maxxie Oliver, who stunned us all with THAT Lady Gaga performance, is the world big enough for two Gaga’s? We hope not.
Gymnastic troupe Spellbound were truly ‘spellbinding’ (sorry!) and we couldn’t talk about this week’s show without mentioning Christopher Stone, the accountant accompanied by his Mum and Dad who flawed us all with that big, theatrical voice which no one expected. Is it just us or did his performance evoke the same kind of ‘wow factor’ that Susan Boyle did last year? In fact that should be our…….
Big Question of the Week!
Is Christopher Stone an early contender?
Did you see it coming? Let us know in the comments below!
Until next week,
Antlan & Decthony
PS - Sorry, back to this whole musical dog/animal thing…we actually can’t get this out of our heads now and we’re getting slightly obsessed, so if any of you have any pets that can play instruments/street dance/sing opera(!?) etc let us know. Put the video on YouTube and send us the link at Officialantanddec@iViva.com and we’ll have a look….we might even show it to Simon if they’re brilliant!
