Thanks. I'll keep an eye on these.

Got a feeling the show will go all out this year after the 2015 mess.

I agree with this

I was thinking of auditioning but have missed my chance

You can just upload a video online. Why anyone bothers to queue up nowadays is beyond me.

I thought that about the 2014 series after the 2013 mess, and then the 2015 series after the 2014 mess. I actually think the 2015 series was good in terms of its "cast" but the blatant favouritism of Louisa, only having 7 live shows and the poor presenting really damaged it.

If we getting any contestants in the league of Fourth Impact, Sean Miley Moore, Mason and Lauren this year, it'll be a great year for talent.

By the way, is Dermot definitely back?

I think we've had two years of good talent so hopefully we'll get a 3rd!!

Is that a joke? Last year had Reggie N Bollie in the final two. It was a shambles.

No but I talking about the likes of both years combined - Sean, Louisa, Lauren, 4th impact, Fleur, Andrea, Lauren platt

There's been a bundle of good talent - Reggie and Bollie have energy on stage and with the right material could have reasonable success - they have good stage presence, singing isn't their forte but possibly rap?

All the best singers go on BGT now.

The talent has been decent for the last few years, but as usual, SYCO chooses its winner at the start of the series and most of the decent acts get thrown under the bus along the way.

Not many turning up for auditions so far
