Geordie and Mackem sound the very exact same to anyone who's not from either place. Or Sunderland or Durham or anywhere else in the North East. And Essex always sounds just intrinsically southern and common as muck to me.

Said she, with her perfectly flattened Lancastrian vowels, glottal stops and strangled diphthongs. ”

Very true. Agree on Essex too.

The accent she did was so bad though!

You're very gracious.
Here was me half afraid to say that because I thought you might come back and lambast me!!!

I'll take your word on the accent, of course. Eeeh bah gum, as we (don't ) say in my part of Lancashire.

He seemed to speak with an English accent and sing with a Welsh accent

Quote:
“Not that i could tell much cos the audience were clapping and screaming too much. How can they judge how someones sings by making as much noise. Its like the audience screaming at The Beatles or something!”

I agree but the audience are very much steered towards such behaviour.

The last act was a classic example of engineered hysteria

Another great show last night. People are having concerns about that 5-year-old we saw about half way through but I think the judges are in their right minds to not put anyone that young through to the semi-finals any more - however good they may be. Francine, the opera singers, and Jordan were the stars of the night.

The last audition was insane, but David getting up on the table in front of Simon made the episode

What got me was the sheer effortless of it. Sometimes with singers like them, the strain in their faces and necks makes you think they're going to actually burst a blood vessel before they finish, but those two just opened their gobs and the power oozed out. Fair bit of natural talent there.
”

My impression was that they had not much training at all and as Simon said some technical issues need sorting.
Their rendition of The Impossible Dream was a bit all over the place and some of their pronunciations were a bit odd.
Having said that I loved their voices and I think with some coaching they will be fantastic..

That irish guy with guitar should have gone on the voice. I knew what he would sound like before he started. All these type of singers sound the same. We usually get one or two like this every year

Just catching up with this week's show on ITV1 now.

Don't tell Christopher Maloney but these two guys have nicked the 'doing all for my Nan' line.

Looks like they work in Subway.

Sorry for the double post above

ITV1 doesn't exist

But as most of us, we didn't know what to expect from those two.

That was pretty much my thought when I saw those two.

"It was AMAZING!". I used to listen out for every time she called something "amazing"!

BGT can't be without its token teenage guitar-strumming "totty" for the girls. Ugh.

Not quite as bad as that impressionist woman but still not the amatuers that they were made out to be

Please no more cute kids, is this appropriate for an 11 year old. There should be an age limit.
