Whilst I didn't think it was bad - I do agree it wasn't that great to be honest and definitely didn't deserve the coveted final slot of the show.

And you think that the Bell Ringers from last week did.

I'm sorry but are any act unique these days?

People probably saw a Spelbound act long before they won the show.

Keeping this BGT-related, but giving Frisky and Mannish the acclaim they so rightly deserve, I wonder if he'll attempt to do, oh, I don't know...Pussycat Dolls in a Music-Hall stylee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzLVA...eature=related

...or maybe...Noel Coward doing Lily Allen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8V5F...eature=related

Go on, Ed!

Fair enough, inspiration has to come from somewhere
And anyway go further back and a number of acts do parody lyrics or one song to the tune of another - The Wurzels, Baron Knights...
The Wheels on the Bus to the tune of Sounds of the Underground was brilliant

Yes there are lots of parody artists about...

But there are lots of same old acts on every show, it's natural... I thought he was entertaining, much better than some talent from last week anyway.

I liked him too, he was entertaining, something a bit different and I hadnt seen Frisky/Mannish
Although initially I did think "Errr.. WTF?" when he came on
Of course theres the king of parody - Weird Al

It has also been done on a radio show, ' I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue' (One Song to the Tune of Another) they used mash ups from various different songs.

Thart impressionist wasn't very original either, I'm sure I've seen people doing impressions before.

And that dancer, didn't a dancer win BGT a few years ago ? so that's been done before as well. Come to think of it, all of the acts are probably carbon copies of acts done before, singers, comedians, dog-acts ect.

That dancer was doing something that had already been done by Keanu Reeves in the Matrix movies!

So what? It is he who has had the guts to get up on stage and do it. Why didn't those on You Tube enter then?

Did he sing the exact same songs to the same tune as "Frisk and Mannish"? If yes, stolen. If not, not stolen.

Unlike that old git who ripped off Evolution of Dance right down to the song selection.

Probably because they are already well established and don't want or need BGT as a platform to kick-start an already successful career.

I hadn't seen the Frisky & Mannish act and thought the BGT act was OK but something I'm happy to see once and not something I want to see again as I'm not sure where he can go with it.
