BGT Semi Finals Wednesday Live!

[LottieMumofWilfJenkins]

Evening all!! Here we go again!!

I want light men and magician man to go through!

The little girl needs some singing lessons ASAP because she is going to seriously damage her voice if she carries on singing like that- some of her belt notes were really strained. She has potential but She is rather precocious. The female singer was dull- there is a reason why she didn't get far in the X factor. The tenors were ok but Simon is right - a few of the soloists were poor choices. The guy with the comb is a joke- it really annoys me that they choose crap acts like this in favour of people with real talent. The dance act were the same as all the other Diversity wannabes. The magician was clever. Didn't see the boy at the beginning. The tenors , magician and possibly the girl are the best of a rather weak lot.

Simon's word was shoe, he didn't really do anything for shoe

Think it will be magician and either Gracie the singer or the tenors singing group.

We are all slack-jawed gobsmacked over here. INCREDIBLE!!!

I want Penn & Teller to come on and tell us how the fuck he DID that!

Jumping in at the end, there is a good case for the resurrection of Junior Show Time.

So here is how the grown ups voted in the Hearts household:

Jackson 5 pretenders - no
Bladder infections (thanks Lottie!!) - 1 vote
Dylan the Dancer - no
Ella Shaw - no
Gracie the screecher - no
IMD - 1 vote
Comb player whackjob - no
Hot Tenors - 1 vote
Magical magician - 2 votes

UDI - 1 vote
Dylan the Dancer - no
Ella Shaw - no
Gracie - no
IMD - 1 vote
Comb player whackjob - no

Magical magician - 2 votes

What did Amanda look like? Strange hair and twig?

Jackson 5 wanabees - ok
Dylan and comb guy should not have been there.
Ella - shame, not great
IUD - it was ok
IMD - the music really put me off, they were ok, not great
Gracie - quite liked her actually, if a little precocious
Tenors - Yes, liked them

Magician - the audience wrote out a load of cards, but he had written the 4 he was using. Selecting them is very basic card handling.
Goldfish and Ice are slight of hand - done well and with flair
Helicopter was hidden on stage
Shoe happened very quick - need to see it again but that jacket of his hid a lot of things.
He does do it well, but there's nothing ingenious about his act.

Just checked the shoe again.
He was wearing it when he arrived on stage then took it off while he was working close up in front of the judges - very easy.
He wasn't wearing it when he went back on stage, he produced it (not the same one that he was wearing) from behind him - hidden in his jacket.

But he didn't know the words?!???

agree clever tricks but no charisma.

DH says he forced the cards

trulyturtles I was saying last night that parts of BGT reminds me of Junior Showtime
Bit embarrassing when no-one in the audience claimed to have written "helicopter"!

Is aleesha wearing a nappy?

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

Quite liked Gracie's singing, but put off by her cocky, pert comments when with other acts just now.

I agree clawdy I bet she always gets the main part in the school production

Sad my hot tenors are out!!!

We're all happy here! Light men and,magic man through just as we wanted!

But he didn't know the words?!???
He wrote the words!
It was even more obvious when no-one in the audience claimed to write helicopter!
He may well have asked the audience to write the other words, but he wrote those 4 and with very basic card handling skills, he dealt them out to the judges.
Everything from there was easy.

Bring back Glyn Poole!
Tomorrow nights show looks good, apart from the girl child singer

its a shame cos dance act tonight were much better than the dance act on monday. like the idea of all dance acts one night all singers another night etc.

Wilf said he liked "the blue people" ! I suppose the act is perfect for deaf people as they dont need to hear anything!

UM, I meant he didn't know what cards Alesha was going to pick and surely if he claimed the audience had written the cards and no one had, they would have said?

"UM, I meant he didn't know what cards Alesha was going to pick and surely if he claimed the audience had written the cards and no one had, they would have said?"
Alesha didn't pick the first card. He flicked through them and she said stop. He then dealt 4 cards. That's very basic card handling to deal his 4 cards.
Simon gave it away when he said "Did someone in the audience write helicopter?" and no-one claimed it as theirs.
If you rewind the bit where he dropped the ice into Alesha's hand, you can see that he has already taken his shoe off! Before Simon even tells him the word!!
Sorry but the trick was really lame.
