Am I the only one who thought the Luminites were crap? They sounded flat and out of tune to me. I'm not exagerating here but I was really shocked that no one buzzed, and even more shocked that all the judges stood up.

I just couldn't see the appeal :/

I don't know what the act brings to BGT. Same with Robbie.

Had either of those two been on XF they would likely have been the two performances of the night, they were good.

But as a one-off act for a Variety show, I can't see what it offers that you don't see every day.

I don't think they were crap.

I would say they were kinda of average/slightly above average.

IF they win (unlikely) would they be asked to change their name? Very very close to the Lumineers

I thought her voice was M.I.A.

But they were good compared to the other acts on what is probably the worst semi-final so far.

At the end of the day they are the chosen act for tonight and they are through , no doubt about that .
Extremely average but great song choice and look like pop stars

It was about as interesting as Janet Jackson covering a BeeGees song.
i.e not very.

I agree the woman was out of tune in parts there more suited to X Factor.

Nothing wrong with my TV. It's just my opinion. Didn't like them.

Jesus wept, some posters on here genuinely have zero ear for music.

So, you're saying there's only one valid opinion on the subject? That's not how opinions work.

We're all entitled to an opinion. I didn't like them, end of.

Exactly. I'm not berating people for liking them so they shouldn't berate me for not liking them.

I liked the luminites. I accept that they may not be to everyones taste, but its a bit harsh to claim they were "crap".

But to me they were. If I said otherwise I'd be lying.
