I simply can't wait to sit around for a whole 2 hours plus watching singer after singer after singer, waiting to see who wins a competition for talent where everybody in the final has no talent.
How fabulous eh.
Let's see the rest of the world laugh at our idea of talent.
70 million people and this is who we provide as our finest talent.

Britain's Got Talent viewers with the sensibility to spend money on Talent Show voting voted and have spoken, not the public.
I don't think there is one act I'm looking forward to seeing.
I just hope the magician wins and sticks it to Syco.
I take a certain pride in watching rubbish though.
To be fair, Ant and Dec are getting better
Not as better to stop me watching.
9 musical acts!
I love Lettice and I was hoping Jenson Zhu would make it through.
Everyone else is a singer or dance act
It's not unheard of though - series three had five singing acts, four dance acts and one 'variety' act, namely Julian Smith the Saxophonist. And that was the highest rating final in the show's history.
- The singers/dancers in that series were of significantly higher quality than those in this/other series.
- Out of those 5 singers, three of them were Susan Boyle, Hollie Steele and 2 Grand who are more 'variety' type singers than the likes of James Smith, Bailey, Jack Pack, etc.. Pretty much every act in the final of that series had something unique about them, whether it be that they had a twist to their act or that they were just absolutely brilliant.
The problem is that there's a much higher volume of 'average' singers and dancers coming onto the show. They're all just completely interchangeable, have absolutely nothing to set them apart from the crowd and generally are just dull as dishwater.
Don't then, why are you still watching?
but he will probably be sent out first, simon is after another singer
so long as the winning act wasnt formed by the show, hasnt won a foreign national contest, and doesnt rap then i might be happy... (prepared to be miserable)
...on acts entirely selected and preselected by the producers and judges, with one of those producers being a big-wig in the disposable tweenie plop music world.
And then had a free choice after the public vote influenced by their hype, to choice half the acts in the final.
So all in all, we didn't have much input at all.
Hold on a minute.
Didn't the rodent rapper win a semi?
Surely you wouldn't class that as singing? Or would you?
Variety shows - even going back to Victorian entertainment halls - have always been dominated by singing and dancing acts.
People love singing and dancing.
Personally, my favourite BGT act of all time was that bloke who regurgitated snooker balls. Bloody brilliant, he was. Anybody who can unlock a padlock with his stomach, manipulate Amanda's ring into place, lock the padlock and bring it all up in one piece is talented beyond measure.
True variety and true talent.
Who won that year? Bet it was a singer or dance troupe.
Spellbound won
Twist and Pulse runners-up
Starr didn't even make the final.
