We've got 2 pianists and 2 singing kids acts, are you happy with the results so far?

Personally I'm not i wanted the magic act to go through!

I'm happy with Jean, and Ronan I suppose.
Would rather Joe and David & Karen or Two and a Half Men get through.

Nope, Joe and David and Karen should've gone through - variety and talent.
And there's never been a biker or magic act in the final before!

A kid singer
A kid Jackson 5 become 4 wannabe tribute band
A pianist
A hyperactive plinkplonky woman 'playingh a keyboard

Oh, joy what a final it is this year!

I didn't mind Ronan and Paul going through, I'd have personally rather Joe gone through than Paul...

**** no, last nights result was awful... Karen/David or Up and Over It should have gone through with Two and a Half Men.

So far all my choices have got through, so not only happy but thinking of asking Simon if I can join the panel.

The magic act was very good but Jean Martyn was more entertaining.

No! Not at all!

Think of what a great Variety final it would be just featuring the judge's rejects so far.

Singers and bad keyboard playing is not Variety.

so much for not putting through the 2 dancers because they were to similar, the final is going to consist of at least 3 singing acts probably more, as we have still got the bloke who sang cant remember his name and he will get through, this thing is turning more into x factor with every passing year

Only in the same way watching someone slowly go mad is entertaining.

And was I the only once to notice that she hit the wrong notes about 20 times?

So far over both semi's (not just the one's they were in) I would liked to have seen get through to the final:

Bruce Sistaz
Ronan Parke
Paul Gbegbaje
Joe Oakley
David and Karen

I know that's 5 but I do like Ronan but if I had to narrow it down I would sacrifice him so:

Bruce Sistaz
Paul Gbegbaje
Joe Oakley
David and Karen

Particularly disappointed with last night's results as I wanted the magic act and 2.5 men to go through to add some 'variety' to the final. Also thought the 'biker' from the first semi would have provided a great spectacle in the Royal Variety show.

Still - I don't vote in these shows so can't really complain.

I'd replace Jean and Ronan with the Bruce Sistaz and Two and a Half Men so far. Paul is OK and I like New Bounce.

Thinking of the acts that are still to come, I'm only really looking forward to Circus of Horrors and Razy. What a disappointing year.

Not at all. It’s a complete farce and a joke. Not one of the four finalists are proper ‘variety’ acts. When the first serious came about I was excited because the Royal Variety Performance was just full up of singers/pop stars, and I thought this would be the time to turn it around.

Those that should be in the final:

Bruce Sistaz
Joe Oakley
Up and Over It
David and Karen

That would have made a proper variety show. I found all of these much better and exciting to watch than the painfully cringeworthy Ronan and easily forgettable oh not another boyband New Bonce! Paul is not bad on the piano, and Jean’s excitement and happiness is infectious, but neither really fulfil the criteria of what the show is, or should be about.

No a lot of the acts in the semi finals have been awful & no way should Jean have gone through over the magicians

Not really happy with it at all
Paul and Ronan aren't bad but having 2 kid singing acts and 2 keyboard players (only 1 is an actual piano player) is a joke.
All these are more deserving of a final place than what we have:
Bruce Sistaz - they were really good
David and Karen
Up and Over It

I wonder if Simon coming back on the panel has had an effect. He seems to be looking for musicians to make him more money therefore he has not given favourable critiques of the other acts.
Unfortunately Simon is quite powerful in swaying some of the public voters.
However I am not displeased with the four finalists so far but we really have seen some excellent talent in the fisrt two semi finals.
Bruce Sistaz, David and Karen, Joe Oakley and Up and Over it. I would swap any of them for New Bounce.
But let's not forget that Susan Boyle didn't win.

Not over the moon about the 4 through.

I would have liked more variety but there are still a couple of acts I like that are yet to perform and may have a chance to make the final.

I'm happy that Ronan and Jean are through. Not the other 2 acts.

Would rather have had The Magic Act and the BMX Guy.

We think alike my friend
I'd put 2 & 1/2 Men over Bruce Sistaz personally.

I can live with Ronan being there because however irritating he is, he has a great voice.
New Bounce however were terrible in their audition and this was drowned out by a backing track on the live show. Did you hear their harmonies?
