The start of the live shows!

May 31st, 2010

Well that’s it - the last of the audition shows for Britain’s Got Talent 2010 has been and gone and it’s been one hell of a ride. It seems like we’ve had everything in this week’s show, from pigs to pole dancers, dance troupes to dummies, funny fellas to fathers and sons, monks to Madonna and everything in between. It was a virtual tour de force of all that makes Britain’s Got Talent great and was the perfect way to send off all the insanity, eccentricity, hilarity and phenomenal talent that’s been the 2010 auditions.

Piers, Simon and Amanda truly had their work cut out whittling down the 200 acts that made it through, but now we have our final 40 for what promises to be a rather spectacular bout of semi final fever. Trust us when we say we can’t wait to begin the next round…this is when it gets truly competitive as each act realises it’s make or break, sink or swim, dance or die!! (Well, not literally of course…).

7:30pm tonight will be the start of it all as the first eight acts go head to head for your vote, the chance to win £100,000 and that all important place at the Royal Variety Performance. It’s going to be a truly unforgettable week of talent - even your goldfish will be hard pushed to etch the next seven days out of their tiny aquatic minds!

As we saw last year, anything can happen. Even we never know what to expect, and we’re blimmin’ hosting the thing! The order of the day is to expect the unexpected and brace yourselves for a white knuckle rollercoaster ride!

We’ll keep you updated with all the backstage gossip as the week goes on, but in the meantime let us know if your favourites made it through, who you’re most excited about seeing and who you tip for the win! We may even pass a few of your messages on!

See you on the telly tonight!

It was crazy! :D Ant and Dec you were so funny last night! When Dec picked up that knife/saw thing that Sean Sheehan used in his act i was like ‘No Dec!’ I didnt want him to hurt himself! haa :) Then when Ant was like ‘No, don’t touch it’ it reminded me of when Dec did that to Cat on sm:tv in Chums…I know it’s quite sad that i remember that! :D
You were awesome on BGMT too! The interview you did with Steven was hilarious!
Keep up the great work! :) Love you both!

Katie_Germany says:

Kevin Cruise got through… I didnt like him.
I have two questions:
1. Was stephen really on a roof near you and you didnt see him or was it filmed separately and put together?
2. Did Ant really get a goat? I wonder what you do with it?
I probably seem very gullible, but stephen can make anything happen :P
Katie xx


Jessica says:

AbbylovesDecDonnelly xx & Ant Mcpartlin xx says:

Great blog too XX


AbbylovesDecDonnelly xx & Ant Mcpartlin xx says:

My favourites at the moment are Tina and Chandi, Twist and Pulse and Olivia Archibald , and Spelbound and The Arrangement. I hope that The Arrangement win.
see you tonight , looking forward to it. Love Abby XX


Paula from Essex says:

The Belarusian pole dancer was talented alright but I’m not sure if she’s exactly um.. family-tv material, haha.

I’m so happy they let Connected through, I LOVE them!

Why on earth did they kept the drummer kid, I’ll never understand. I’ve seen drummers younger than him playing a much more fantastic solo. He should do more practice, ’cause that’s what it takes for him to get to the finals (which I don’t think he will).

Good luck to all of them, can’t wait for tonight’s show !!

Love your work guys, have fun tonight and let it show! Say hi to Simon ;-)
xxxxxxx


Jade Cook says:

Hiyaa!
Yeah pretty much ALL my favourite acts got through!
I love Paul the Impression guy…I would tip him to win this year, It
would be good to see something like that on the Royal Variety..It’s something different and I bet the Queen would LOVE him..hehehe :)

Madonna was Interesting..hasn’t she changed (used to be such a good dancer)..I’m only kidding he was really funny bless him! No match for the real deal though!

Can’t wait to see you both on the telly tonight..7:30? I’ll be there on time and then More Talent on ITV2. :)

See You Then and Good Luck for a successful first show!!
It’ll be great!
Lots and Lots of Love
Jade xxXxxxxxxxxXxxxx

P.S. Please pass my message on! LOL. :)

Can’t wait to see


natalie says:

cant wait for tonights show good luck lads lots of love xxxx


Amanda - USA says:

Good luck, lads. How do you feel about being in HD for the first time? :)

I’d pick Connected to win, but Simon bizarrely seems to have something against them. So I’ll predict it’ll be either Spelbound or Paul Burling. I’m interested to see what Kev Orkian comes up with next. He could be a dark horse.


louise says:

but i want the 14 year old liam mcnally to win!xxxxxx


louise says:

i love twist and pulse, there amazing :)
love you ant and dec! xxxxxxxxxxx


beth says:

hey guys!
i am soooo glad that oliva got thru! she has a fab voice! give my congrats to her!
love you both!
love beth x x x x <3


Chloe says:

Sooo looking forward to the show tonight! Really cant wait! :) The final 40 is a good and mixed bunch, i would love to see Paul Burling win! He is amazing and it is complete variety! I’d love to see what else he has up his sleeves :) I also love Spellbound, Tobias Mead, Twist and Pulse and the Chippindoubles :) if any one of them win i will be very happy!
Thanks for the great blog!
See you on the telly :D
