I so am.
Up and Over It
I can't believe they said they practice in caffs. If they were banging on the table like next to me while i was trying to enjoy my beans on toast I'd throw my tea over them!
First time was brilliant. Second time was very good too. Third time in the final...? Would be pushing it. I'm starting to get bored of them now.

It just sounded like noise to me. A few minutes of that I'd have a banging headache!

I think you'll find they weren't. They were just extras doing hand gestures.
Bizarrely I saw this act in a show in Brighton at the weekend (missed their BGT audition so didn't know who they were at the time) and they were outstanding. Their normal act seems a bit more racy and adult, which maybe I guess wouldn't suit for the BGT crowd. Anyway - I thought they were brill and would definitely pay to see them again. Perhaps the act doesn't quite transfer to such a big stage though, which is a shame.
I quite like them but I agree that it does get boring after a while. I first saw them in this video ages ago. Its a bit of a hand dance off between each other rather than their 'Americano' routine. I think they have performed at the Edinburgh Fringe festival too.

biggest mistake of the night was them putting their background music on too loud.
So their hand claps just merged into one long noise and I couldnt hear their foot taps properly either.
A quieter background song would have allowed them to put the taps and music in balance like Riverdance.
As it was the music was just too overbearing for the act

Completely agree. Maybe the sound was set up badly for them.

Ye I said exactly that at the time couldn't hardly hear them for the song, found myself giving up listening to them and tuning into the music ad it was most prominent. Odd as it's normally commented on by Simon on xf when music is too loud was sure someone would say something but nope, not to be
Well we must have some weird TVs in our house because we couldn't hear the music that loudly and felt that the hand noise was taking over too much from the music!
That said, I think Simon was unnecessarily cruel about them getting through as opposed to other acts he thought should have been. Well Simon if you had been here instead of filling your pockets with more dollars, you could have had more of an input with the judging panel.

It was different and I was fascinated by it having never seen anything like it before. Even when the pair got up and danced a bit I enjoyed watching their act..
Lets face it,would anyone pay money to see two people banging their hands on a table? They could add Amanda doing her seal impression of clapping.

Thats what i thought. Hence it coming over to me as just banging noise.

I'd watch Up and Over It live definitely... I'd be more entertained by them rather than four out of tune Jackson wannabes.
