It seems he can't get his (sob) story straight. yesterday he said:
But today he said:
Not that I care one way or another that he's watched the show, but it's strange how in one interview he's playing down the whole "gypsy" angle and in another playing up to it. Sounds like he'll say whatever the papers want to hear to get him in them

They still work and have full-time jobs. They just wanted to get out of the busy city.
“I’ve never even seen Big Fat Gypsy *Weddings, so I don’t really know what *everyone is talking about.”

We watched Big Fat Gypsy Weddings. Who wouldn't want a wedding like that - although I'm not sure about the huge dresses!

No elaborations of the sob story though!
Has the nation really been that amazed or is this the media trying to ram its latest underdog our throats?

Unfortunately I do not feel that the hype has been built up entirely by his talent.
Clearly Michael is trying to take the Subo ( unlikely looking star etc) route but he is far from the finished article and has a nice sound that he needs to learn how to use if he is going to sell an album.Maybe the trick will be that he transforms into something other than a tracksuit tramp by the time of the next round too.
Generally I am finding this stage of the BGT annoying, chavvy and cynically manipulative ( anyone with any sense knows that every act that makes it to the screen has already been pre selected so why all the surprise etc) and I am hating myself for even watching it and can't answer the question as to why I am watching it..........will probably come back again for the stages where the genuine talent gets involved rather than watching borderline psychiatric cases being indulged and/or patronised by Ant and Dec.
And anyway, his target market is waiting for "scruffy real musician" Matt Cardle's album.
He's good, but not a winner.
My view too.
Finally someone notices that the Emperor doesnt have any clothes.
absolutely agree with you, he was the best of a very bad bunch, and he is talking about how he is going to to buy his parents a house and another one for him and his fiancee
100% agree. I thought he was good, but nothing amazing and it didn't know who people were talking about when people mentioned 'the male subo' and the talking point of the show was a young man and his guitar. I was just like
And I don't believe half the people that say SuBo's first audition was amazing, most people don't listen to that kind of music and I don't understand the big deal with her either.
The Susan Boyle effect is getting very tiresome! :yawn:
No better and a whole lot worse than the bilge that's been winning American Idol for a couple of years.
I certainly liked him and thought he was good. But if other's on this thread thought he wasn't then would you like to tell me who was good on Saturday's night's show?
There was not one single act that made me slightly think we might have a winner on our hands.
I felt the same.
And it was absolutely appalling that the handbell couple were given three yeses.
The same goes for the dancing grandad. They must surely just be aiming for early target numbers by putting him through. Sigh.
Joking aside, I thought he was good, but just another person who will eventually be found out. The fact is that he needs to be seen again to really be judged. He did well with a song that clearly suited him and could hide any weakness that he actually had in his voice. It happened last year with a guy I cant remember the name of, pretty decent first audition and people had hope, got to the live stages and performed his own song and bombed big time with one of the worst singing performances in the shows history. I can see this guy not being far from that, hyped big time at the start, only to show that if he really takes on a test of a song, he'll be found out.
Taking nothing away from the guy, because it's not like he was bad or anything, but I personally cant see him winning this show.
Another act last year who was pushed too hard (and too far, imo) was Janey Cutler. The show was obsessed with marketing her as the next Susan Boyle ('Nubo') but she clearly was not in Susan's league and at times appeared to be confused about what she was even doing on the programme.
