The impressionist was dull as ditchwater
Not one joke in his act, and he did Sir Alan Sugar, Kevin Webster and that bald guy from EastEnders. :sleep:
Same as last time. So dull. And absolute rubbish. I hope he goes. |

Do you like anything? The threads you have started all appear to be very negative!

Here. Here. He was even worse than the awful Paul Burling from last year and stumbled completely through the opening of his routine.
Cal, who they showed on ITV2, was much better and I'd have liked to have seen them give a chance to a young man starting out rather than an old balding bloke who has been on the circuit for 13 years and got nowhere - with very good reason. |

He was far from dull, and he did more than the 3 people you've mentioned.

I didnt find him dull and just because he's been doing this for 13 years doesnt mean much, there are plenty who are good but never get the big break they need in this business. As for sticking with some of the same people -Ross Kemp and Dec, I think he was right to do that, this is the biggest gig of his life so go with what works and is popular. I didnt think his Gordan Ramsey was great but other than that I enjoyed it

i didnt think he was an exceptional impressionist. And his impressions just seemed dated.
I mean all he did for Ant and Dec was a geordie accent. The person who gets pushed in front of the queen needs to be top of their craft and he isnt. |

Impressionists really do well.
Remember the last one? Had a Christmas special then faded fast... |

Believe it or not I actually saw Les perform at a tiny camping site in North Yorkshire only a couple of weeks ago, whilst I cannot deny he is very good at Kevin Webster he then carried on to do about half an hour of utter rubbish impressions and so out of date jokes it was almost cringeworthy.
He even said that if Kevin left Corrie then he'd be on the dole - that was the funniest thing he said all night! |

He was dire. His Kevin Webster was OK, but he already did that for his audition. His dialogue was crap too.
There have been better impressionists on the show before. He was just lucky to be in a weak series and on a live show where most of the acts are crap. |

He was good. It's hard for BGT impressionists as they don't get an hour to show off like the TV stars do.

His 'Ant' actually sounds more like Tim Healy.

Exactly he did a generic irish accent which was supposed to sound like Louis. Watching the apprentice now and his Alan Sugar is way off the mark.As for the rest of his very poor impressions... pah !
Talent my arse. I am temped to upload a youtube video myself and do some impressions...couldn't do much worse and I do a mean Dolph Lundgren.....
