If money eating, ball swallowing regurgitating is wrong then we don’t want to be right!

April 26th, 2010

 

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!

Tessa Leigh says:

Spellbound were amazing, I can’t believe they used a girl as a skipping rope - fantastic!! I think they should win, having gymnastics on the Royal Variety Performance would remind me of “when I was a lass” when we used to watch the men dressed as policeman/superheroes flying over/off trampetes & gym horses!!!
I expect you remember that guys as I’m only 3 years younger than you!
Great show, really enjoying it as usual - but then I enjoy anything as long as you’re in it!!


Irene says:

I hope there are more dog acts.
I thought we’d seen it all last year but it just shows you you never know what to expect from BGT.
Looking forward to seeing what else got through the edit.

LOL

Sarah and Jamie says:

I felt so appalling embarrassed for poor Laika the dog. How disrespectful of her owner to ridicule her like that. Laika definitely has more intelligence than her ‘owner’. Poor, poor dog- I wonder what Chandi the dancing dog’s owner could do with her if given a chance…

Melanie Y. says:

It doesn’t bode well for any contestant to get on stage and claim mastery of some bodily function as a talent, but that regurgitator dude had me speechless. I actually really hope he wins! Was that a bottle of dishwashing liquid on the table there?? What’s it there for, to help get it down? How miserable that must feel to do that.

I will email a link to a video that is not mine, but I think you (and Simon) need to see it if you haven’t already. It’s making scientists rethink the theory that animals (or at least birds) don’t have any sense of rhythm like humans. It’s pretty amazing.


Little Lou says:

Hi Boys,
I think this year is the year that a variety act wins. Christopher Stone, yes he can sing and you don’t expect it but who cares. Spellbound were amazing and have a huge amount of skill that they have worked hard for years on. There young kids who care about what they do and are not spending time doing what other kids are doing at there age, they are making something of there lives. I believe that should be applauded and to go far. Why are there always bad acts in the semi final? Lets have a 100% talent semi finals. Please not the Maxxie bloke! Talent and skill is what we want to see. Not what ever that was.
Keep up the good work lads
xx


Laura says:

Antlan and Decthony haha! Can’t believe the papers made out that ur little joke with Stephen mulhern about u two copying him was a serious arguement! LOL …. P.S I don’t think Christopher was half as good as susan Boyle… Couldn’t stop laughing at the end of his auditions were he kinda put his arms over his face in an awkward way haha xx


Toon Army Faithful says:

We are the Champions! We are the Champions! Was at the game on Saturday and was totally amazing! Would love to hear about it if you were there. Newcastle Newcasle!
xxx
P.S.Loving seeing you on BGT every week


Kirsty says:

Spellbound were brilliant, they definately have to be in the final shows.

Lucy says:

Oh and i saw the clip of you two doing the moves to ‘Rhumble’for next sat and if you are and knowing me , i will get up and join in :)!!!! i luv you guys <3!Haha the Antlan and Decthony thing is witty and clever , keep up the good work and take care xxxx


Lindsay says:

I saw Stevie Starr wen I was in the audience at the auditions! Thought it might be magic but it wasn’t! Great to have you back on TV :D
xxxxx


Beccaa Loves Ant&&Dec Loaaads xxx says:

I LOVE BGT, AND I LOVE ANT AND DEC MILLIONS! :D XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


Lucy says:

Stevie Starr is gross , but good . The answer to the question about Christopher would have to be a no , yh some people are great singers , but that is getting a little old and we rather see a different type of act to win .I would enter my rescue dog into BGT but we cant at the moment as she has problems thanks to her previous home , and we are working to sort out these problems (like we have for the past 2 years , and with great success the work is payng off)even though she can do a little bit of dancing , we are going to wait until we are ready so maybe in a few years time?


heather says:

Antlan & Decthony trading name now are we you guys never let me down lol

ps.Decthony is a very nice girls name


Annette says:

I think Spellbound could win it this year, which would be good as we’ve had enough singers/dancers winning it. Christopher Stone was evidently good, but it’s getting a bit old and boring now, with someone like him every single year.
Loved the arrangement, and so funny when the horse pooed on stage!
And that boy’s sixpack!


Jade Cook says:

Hiyaa!!!!
Good to hear from you both again! :)
Yeah I think he could be a contender along with Tobias Meid (the dancer).
I think even though he was nervous, he put on a great performance!

You two defiantly looked a little creeped out by Stevie…I have to admit I was…and I had literally JUST had my tea so…:( Uggh..but very good!

Hope your both well and speak soon

Lots and Lots of Love
Jade XxxXxXxXxxXxXxXXxXxX

PS - Love your little change around on your names….Antlan and Decthony..LOL hahahahah! Class


officialstephensangel says:

really loved this weeks show i keep forgettin its only been the second show and saying bgt and bgmt are amazing this year. that stevie starr guy made me bolk. the answer to your question christopher shocked me but hes not the best singer you’ve had.


Jo says:

I am still finding it very difficult to believe he is actually swallowing that money and ball … I honestly can’t see how it is humanly possible. However, it does make for very good entertainment … I’m sure it’s something the Queen would love to see :P
Although i’m with Simon and you two and would love to see a dog/animal act win it this year … If only i had a dog :(

is Christopher Stone an early contender? No. I think the amazing singers coming from the unexpected is getting a little bit old now … Paul Potts, Su-Bo … He’s good but i’d rather a variety act win it :) x


Chloe says:

Hi Ant and Dec,
The Regurgitator was absolutely gross…but equally amazing!…yes it made me gag a few times but i couldnt not watch! :D and it was unbelieveable when he swallowed that billiard ball! :O i couldnt believe what i had just seen…and then him bringing it back up…!!!
Laika ‘playing the guitar’ was hilarious!…i actually thought she was going to play it properly but obviously not! :D
Maxxie Oliver was really weird!…and please NO not another Gaga! :D Spellbound were outstanding! i dont think i have ever seen gymnastics like that in my life! i hope they go far!
Christopher Stone was awesome…his voice was amazing but he just needs more confidence :) i dont think he is as good as Susan Boyle though..
i love the ‘Partners in Rhmye’ thing you do on BGMT…but i must say that Dec’s pictures are much, much harder than Ant’s! Come on Dec you can win!!!! :)
ooh and loving the title! :) The ‘Antlan & Decthony’ thing at the end really confused me! haa :D
looking forward to BGT this Saturday! …and by the looks of it you may be doing the Rhumble…if that is the case i will be dancing along! :D I CANT WAIT!!!
xxxxxx


AbbylovesDecDonnelly xx & Ant Mcpartlin xx says:

Christopher Stone a contender? maybe? fantastic voice though. Love Abby XX


AbbylovesDecDonnelly xx & Ant Mcpartlin xx says:

yes poor Laika and Melissa , they tried so hard and did not get anyway , ah never mind , I was’nt keen Stevie Starr , his act was horrible and I thought Maxxie Oliver’s send up of Lady Gaga was silly and daft , but omg he got through , the Michael Jackson act really hilarious , loved The Arrangement and Spellbound brilliant and Christopher Stone really great. I love Ant XXXXX and I love Dec , love Abby XXXXXXX


Sanna - Finland says:

Stevie Starr has been coming to Finland and performing on our telly for years. I’ve been waiting for him to do BGT and he finally did. I guess we Finns like our ball-swallowing oddities ;)

I felt really sorry for Laika. Poor thing. She clearly didn’t like people laughing at her. I read somewhere that Melissa has contacted Simon’s people in the hopes of Simon adopting Laika. I wish he would - she was lovely! Simon shares my taste in dogs - we both love old, “nobody wants me”-dogs. ♥ ♥ ♥

And the answer to your Christopher-question: No. :P
