Mr. Cowell, please consider the following for next year:

1. Replace David Walliams.
2. Replace Amanda Holden.
3. Restrict applicants to over 16 only.
4. Variety acts only, singers to be redirected to the X-Factor.

I thank you.

    Keep David Walliams.

    Have a limit on catergories.

    Only allow singers who wouldn't get onto XF.

    Adults only.

    Categorise semi finals for example all singers go in one semi final all dancers in another semi final and just mix and match the rest . That way will only get a maximum of two singers and two dance acts in the final

    How would it be variety if singing wasn't allowed?

    Well it's not is it lol. The singers on this show have been either too young or the wrong genre of music for The X Factor.

    No idea why kids shouldn't be allowed either, although I suppose it would stop people here calling a teenage boy a 'vile brat' with nothing to base it on.

    I don't mind Amanda or David so I would keep the pair of them too.

    I just think singing belongs in its own show. BGT should be for variety acts that would never otherwise be seen or have a chance to showcase their talents; singers have other competitions they could enter.

    And as for the kids, Hollie, I just think it is unfair to put children up against adults, some of whom need this kind of show to earn a living. Children do not.

    If people are that keen on seeing children "entertain", maybe Mr. Cowell should think about a children's version of the show.

    And as far as Amanda & David go, I know so many people (myself included) who just cannot watch the programme any more, purely because of them. Therefore, if Mr.C were to get rid of them, his viewing figures might do better. ;-)

    Well in that case I propose no dancers because they have Got To Dance. So now we're down to adult magicians/illusionists, impressionists and comedians. That doesn't exactly seem much variety.

    Simon should consider running a 'Junior Britains Got Talent' for under 16's. It's not really a level playing field when kids get through solely on the 'cute' factor.

    What about jugglers, acrobats, musicians, ventriloquists, hypnotists, stunt acts..... there's so much more to variety than you've stated.

    As long as Amanda stays, i'm not bothered. We really need more variety though.

    The only thing I'd change is that I'd like less singers and more variety in the live shows, other than that, I think the show is fine the way it is.

    If the judges we have now returned next year, I'd be happy, but if the stuff about Simon leaving and David being replaced do turn out to be true, I'd love it if Paul O'Grady joined the panel. I'm not sure how likely that is to happen, but I think he'd be perfect for judging BGT. Regardless of what happens though, I hope the rumors about Piers Morgan returning turn out to be untrue.

    To be honest I don't know how grown up people have so much venom towards little kids! They are bigger idiots than anyone!
