AIBU?

To think that tonight's BGT results were a load of twaddle?

Alice Fredenham should have been the second act to go through, her voice is AMAZING Hmm

Both performances by the boys were a bit out of tune I don't think they should have gotten through to the semis personally and Gabs seems like a one trick pony.



I give my first Biscuit to myself.

I don't understand why they mix the acts up. I think there should be a semi of just dancers, just singers and you would have to have one for acts that don't fit in to a category.

Kids will always get a huge vote, just because they are kids.

The Irish boys were good for their age but need a lot more coaching and practice to make it when they are older.

Alice has a great voice and I was sorry to see her go.

I think Gabz said she had already written about 30 songs of her own and wanted to perform one of them next.

I liked Jack the comedian but it wasn't all original material, you could see some of the jokes and punchlines coming a mile away.

I've already forgotten who went through on Monday.

Alice is a sensitive plant who wouldn't last 5 minutes in the industry.

Irish lads were cute but singing at aunties wedding about the limits if their capacity.

Gabs is obviously managed by a professional and pushing her song to ITunes, can't blame her.

Jack is fantastic but needs to intermingle his jokes between his abilities and disabilities.

Love it.

I also agree with Sparklingbrook - A lot of the child singers, like Alisxandra, are good when you take their age into account, but have an average voice compared to the singers already out there.

Yeah, I get your points about Alice being nervous, but her voice is still amazing. I really hope Gabs does a new song next time because otherwise her act will be stale.

And finally someone who agrees that the Irish kiddies were out of tune! I thought I must've been watching another show based on other people's reactions to them Shock

Alice was/is a nervous wreck if she can't cope with doing a 20 second backstage interview without "being overwhelmed" she's not cut out for the rough & ready world of showbiz!

Jack Carrol the comedian went through & was brilliant, & Gabz the young singerwriter was good too, hope she can write a new song for Saturday!

YABU. Gabs was much better to watch than Alice. She has a lovely voice, but it's uncomfortable watching her because you can tell she's not comfortable being there.

I think BGT has had it's day. Too many mediocre singers and cringey 'child stars' I wanted to see a dancing cat TBH.

I don't think he's that funny. The two Irish boys were really out of tune.

Alice may have a lovely voice but it was dire really. Judging from my facebook I thought the young comedian had got threw, I didnt see the results.

I thought the comedy boy got through? Was only half watching though.

I think Alice has a lovely voice but the song was a poor choice. She should have sung something more uptempo in my opinion. Plus I think the public are fed up with the snivelling, looking out from under eyelashes, lip biting persona.
