"We've received over a million votes..."
They've said this the last two nights.
Considering 8-10 million people watch, and 5 free votes a night, this figure is pretty poor, isn't it? |

Yep, could be that just tens of thousands are voting. 80,000 voters is 1% of the viewers. And it's probably less than that!!

Shocking really, that they can give everyone 5 free votes and there still aren't as many cast as when they used to charge. |

In big brother 2 Brian got 4.2 million votes and Helen 2.6 million and they were all paid for votes! Mad! Those were great times though.

Are people joking? We can't get people to vote in a General election let alone a tv talent show

That just really captured the mood of the nation didn't it- Incredible to think that the nation pretty much stopped at that moment and everybody was talking about it
It was fab-u-lous and my mum and I phoned each other during the ad breaks to discuss it. ![]() I've gone from that to non-verbal communication with strangers. Its all a bit sad.

We don't choose these acts, producers do. We had 2 impressionists this week - one was taken by producers and put in a complicated and irrelevent set, made to run around crazily, was left to write his own material and did difficult and novel impressions of quite well known but not easily thought of celebrities, especially to Cowell who has spent most of the last ten years in the USA. We know this is not his act becausr it bore no relation to what he did at the audition which was much better. Then he stood centre stage and did a classic act. It as BGT producers that obliged him to do something that didn't work. The other was given a giant screen projecting images of every character he did, most of which were bog standard US impressions - the muppets, mickey and Minnie mouse etc. He was given a song to sing so he had no material to write. He got 4 standing ovations from the judges and won his heat over the favourite. He was immensely helped by the producers' staging, the directing, the huge amount of work that went into the giant video screens and the judges' comments. It's really clear with singers who is favoured and who us not. None of these contestants choose their own song or the arrangement or staging or what they are wearing. Yes, uf you got someone with a diva personality and huge drive they might insist on what they get to do but most of these people are amateurs and they rely totally on the advice of the show. |
