Six acts do far and what have we got?

A hyperactive group of little kids who are certainly cute, if you like that sort of thing, but talented? No way.

A young lad who is pleasant but inclined to be a little too cocky at times. But amusing? A comedian? Never.

An 11 year old who has some talent but is likely to have a real emotional issue when she almost inevitably gets rejected. Come back in a couple of years.

A 14 yr old girl who has managed 4 or 5 notes on the piano and struggles to sing in tune.

An average group of four who included, for no discernible reason, some sort of clown at one end complete with rucksack and strange gyratory motions.


Luckily there is one genuinely talented duo but sadly too many talented acts have been rejected.


To be totally fair though, for the first time ever one of the Judges, Amanda, was totally and brutally honest in assessing one act last night. Why can't all of the judges be as honest and avoid offering hollow and meaningless platitudes?

You must really hate the show. I don't know why people who hate it bother posting.

No, it will not be the worst final ever. The worst still stands to be 2011 which had only a few good acts. Acts like Francine and Attraction are still to come, among others. Some of the acts we have in the final are really good and deserve to be there.

Not at all - but what I do hate is the fact that, already, genuinely talented acts, genuinely entertaining acts have been rejected in favour of some less deserving acts.

If only all acts were presented fairly and equally with no extended back stories, no bias from the Judges, no bias from the producers, then the show would be much, much better.


Just one example, that has no bearing on the outcome, but when, last night they did the usual showing of the acts with the phone numbers, why, in the name of fairness, did they have to show a clip of the young juggler with the two buzzers included. His act may have been less than inspiring but he was genuinely trying. The way that clip was shown was a blatant manipulation of the public at voting time, making sure that he received virtually no votes.


Why not let the public see each act without the various bias and so on - why not be honest..

We won't know the voting stats until next week after the final so anything could have happened.

With respect, though, you hve missed my point somewhat:

Why not let the public see each act without the various bias and so on - why not be honest.
