Are you telling me that in the terms & conditions for this show you don't even have to be resident in Britain to win Britain's got talent? any mime artist from France can hop over and have a go.

I was gobsmacked watching it just. It's just made the show even more of a mockery. Talk about the producers trying to be politically correct.

Presumably he didn't win the French talent show he entered so had a go at BGT instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uuVXqquYV0

The real joke is that you don't even have to be talented to get through an audition on Britain's Got Talent.

Non-british acts don't bother me, unless they're also untalented.

Well I guess the ball's coming out at the semi-finals then.

Why should it bother anyone where he lives? As long as he paid his own way to get to the audition, then why not?

He's obviously very determined to ,make a success of himself if he's willing to even go to another country to have a go!

I suppose it's because the programme is called Britain's Got Talent, and purports to be about finding talent within the country. I don't think people should have to be British, but they should have to live here.

It's set in Britain. The French act was the best act so far.

That French guy and another Romanian guy were very very good, comparing with the mayority of the "british" acts. If they didn't allow them to participate in the first place the show would have been even worse.
