Hello
There are children up and down the country in schools from primary to secondary who have acts like this in school talent shows.
What is special about these guys? Where exactly is the talent that makes them stand out from thousands of children who do performances at school every year?
For some reason they are liked but it seems that is obviously related to them being lauded by Simon Cowell and nobody wants to go against Simon Cowell, God forbid.
Generally a dreadful act but I would like to here a constructive estimation as to what makes them stand out as talented. What are they doing that is unique?
It's nice they have the opportunity to perform and they performed but with the publicity, horridly un-necessary publicity they've recieved and the backing it's unfair to other people who have spent decades on their talent.
Thank You.

Agree 100% I just don't understand their popularity, they both have very little talent and all I can assume is that it's because they are Simon Cowell's golden buzzer act. Why were they appearing on an American talk show it's just ridiculous
No?
Exactly.
I'm very suspicious that two lads as young as they are would even know who Ellen DeGeneres is.
When they had a quick chat with with Ant and Dec before the vote result announcements one of them actually said that she is a very special person.
It sounded like a response you'd expect from some celebrity who's had some media training from their people.
I'm sorry but something just doesn't ring true for me with that at all.
I just don't think it's that likely that lads that young would even know who Ellen Degeneres is, let alone be big fans.
Was it pure co-incidence? My ar*e as a Royle might say.
So why were these two given the privilege over all other BGT acts to go over there before they had even been on the semi-final?
I don't see the appeal either. Of the acts that have gone through to the final so far, they're the one I like least... I'd sooner vote for the French drag act that went through last night than those two untalented brats.
In what way are they brats. It seems a common trend that every child acts are brats on this forum
Was it their hamster?
Was that a joke....
What, you mean that they've already been on that chat show?
I didn't know.
I thought that when they were told that they had good luck messages from Ellen, that it was just some nonsense about her watching BGT.
I didn't know that these kids had actually been on her chat show.
It's hardly a level playing field is it?
It's as though now in 2014 Simon Cowell feels that he doesn't even need to bother with any sort of pretense that this is a fair competition.
After all why should he? The show still gets lots of viewers, and in his mind the ratings performance will be the justification for whatever he does.
However, I do think they are very good and have a strong teenage fanbase on social media already.
I do now. Where is she now?
It reminds me of The Simpsons sketch where Homer hears an advert that goes something like "Are you some guy?" and he replies "Huh?! I'm some guy!".
She can sing better than them and obviously play the violin better than them, plus, her personality isn't manufactured.
I think it was because he was bullied, maybe. I was bullied. I never got to see Ellen. I just crawled in a ball and cried.
I think I would vote for the French Drag act too but I thought they lacked talent as well. Not sure how dancing in high heels is worthy of great talent. Been seeing that on Strictly and Cinema for decades.
On the basis of having a sense of entitlement and people being around to tell them they're entitled.
When you're young you're entitled to have respect for your elders not run around you telling you, you're brilliant. Respect comes from your actions.
In fairness though, Darcy, Paddy and a couple of others went equally viral, its because they're kids, I hope to some extent that the young lad with the guitar splits their vote enough so they're not a shoe in winner
