Que? No silly. Duh.
What I meant was that we, the audience, are led to believe that these are all young and aspiring people who are just praying for their big break, loitering in the shadows, unknown and undiscovered, etc,etc. But some of them are not.
Some have been flogging their skills for some years and just haven't quite made it. BGT tracks them down to dilute the crud that ARE unknown (for very good reasons) so that the whole show is not a total disaster.
