Thats the thing, I suppose. The winner is just a debating point, and in truth it hardly matters to me.
But for some reason I would rather see Paul Potts, or Susan Boyle win. Or jamie raven. It's the difference between saying at the audition that you are a professional trying to get a break, compared with the deceit (sort of) of concealing the fact that you are semi-pro at least.
In my opinion.
And I think the idea of non brits competing and winning BGT is little short of ridiculous. I have no idea how attraction won. I would never have allowed them in, let alone voted for them.”
IIRC Paul Potts was shown as a lowly mobile phone salesman, not that he had spent some 20 grand on Opera Singing lessons including from Pavrotti himself
We know they do it, and I really don't care. I would rather see a bunch of pro / semi-pro talent acts who never quite got the break they wanted to appear on BGT, much rather that than folk not good enough for The Voice or X-factor
