I can’t find the BGT thread so starting one here.

Just catching up on tonight’s episode.

The dancing duo were so mediocre. Shame on Bruno for changing his mind, he should have stuck to his original decision.

I quite liked them actually!

Surprised Alesha voted no.

Ds is watching although wandered off so I’ve turned over now, but what was with that cat thing?

Lord only knows. I missed the start of the act and arrived back to see the judges dead pleased and I was just thinking wtaf is this?!? Although the voice was good.

This little girl belting out the signature tune from Wicked has a killer voice. Definitely west end potential imho!

I've just wandered in for someone more knowledgeable than me to explain it to me.
Was it a puppet?
A small creature dressed up?
What was it?
Good voice but most odd delivery!

I’ve watched. There was a young girl a few years back. Beau I think her name was. Same song, same golden buzzer. I’m like the show but it’s constant singers getting the GB.

Defying Gravity was too big a song for that little girl.

That cat thing was so annoying... I've got no idea what was going on.
Why would they presume it was someone singing live if there wasn't a person there? It could have been a recording.

According to Twitter re the cat - the judges saw the images projected onto a screen but obviously we saw a CGI cat

Yes apparently it was CGI.

Think it's not a good idea, feel like we've been deceived.

I think we've just found the winner of BGT! Loved that Benji's class act. Also love this Revolting Children group ❤️

NurseCranesRolodex · 06/05/2023 20:34

Is it just me or is the judges scripted reactions annoying AF? Last duo were dire, the comedian was not funny, the joke about shooting your child utterly dire, all judges screeching dramatically the entire time, Bruno wiping faux tears of mirth from his never shutting eyes. Does Britain have talent?

Meredusoleil · 06/05/2023 20:43

Yes I haven't liked any of the comedians tbh.

The (ukrainian) children dancing was good. I can so see a children's dance act or choir winning it this year.

Elderflower14 · 06/05/2023 21:02

Loved the children dancing. Also the guy singing...
I HATE MR BLOBBY!!

I hate Mr Blobby too.

The Welsh singer was so humble and not expecting the standing ovation he got 👏

RocketsMagnificent7 · 06/05/2023 21:07

Who was in Mr Blobby? Stephen Mulhern?

Meredusoleil · 06/05/2023 21:17

Did this French guy MB14 really male all those sounds with his mouth?!? Or were some of them programmed into his keyboard thing?

Meredusoleil · 06/05/2023 21:17

Make not male

Ducatifan · 06/05/2023 21:22

I thought the French guy was rubbish. I didn’t enjoy it at all.

Looks like Bruno has pressed the golden buzzer again.

bringthesummer · 06/05/2023 21:36

The welsh fella was in Casualty last week, he's an actor. Not sure I believe his shy and suprised act

What? No. It was Ant and Dec this time. Bruno has already used his golden buzzer. Just Alesha left now I think?

Alesha used her buzzer already. Can’t remember on who though. Lots of forgettable acts this year.

I loved the comedian!

Yeah I thought the comedian was funny but probably more suited to a London comedy store type place than BGT. The beat box guy was a bit unclear about how much was him and how much backing track or amplifier. But overall the format feels so tired and overcooked with more and more staged surprises and back stories. I think it’s honestly time to wrap it up

Rowthe · 06/05/2023 22:59

I actually found the comedian really offensive.

Yeah hes gonna use a bullet to shoot his kid🙄

And all the stroke jokes. Really funny if you have a stroke- not

Getting a bit bored of all the kid acts. Just see them every year. I think previously when there were some really great acts they would only let one sort 2 kid acts go through. But this year no real stand out acts for me, so they seem to be sending loads of these kids groups through. Not really seen anything spectacular from any of them really.

Mr Blobby was hilarious. Was really shocked when Simon got gunged- great shock value. But can tell he was obviously brought on cos something is probably in the pipeline and he may make a comeback. Did find it weird that he was talking.

When he said Ace of Spades- he should have said Blobby Blobby Blobby. Same with "come with me" to Simon. Was a little creepy cos Mr Blobby doesnt speak. So should have been saying- Blobby Blobby while guiding Simon up.

Show quote history

In the preview for next week he presses the buzzer again and it cuts to Amanda saying ‘you only get one!’

He was Mark, Sophie's son, in the A Word as well.
