BGT 2024...Second Thread...

[Elderflower14]

Starting second thread as other is nearly full...

No I think she's cruise ship/backing singer level, so still good but not that good, and it's the level she's already reached.

Can't get excited I'm afraid !

Thanks all for the company !
And for @Elderflower14 for starting the thread .

See you next year !

Well that's that.

I didn't feel love she was crying about - but hey ho.

wonder if we will ever hear about her again, apart from The Royal Variety show...

Same time next year anyone?😂

I'm so so angry, would far rather have seen wee Abigail win over Sydney. Complete and total fix having her sat with her grans crying to pull on people's heartstrings then having her last. Raging.

I was also trying to vote on the website for Matt and my vote wouldn't register it just kept moving back and forward loading.

Yes ! I'll be here next year.

Thank you @Elderflower14

I don't even know anyone who stills watches bgt

My pleasure ♥ ♥

This time next month I bet none of us will be able to name one contestant off the show

I only watch the final sometimes

I have no memory of who won last year (maybe I didn’t watch it ) . I remember Paul Potts, Susan Boyle and the brilliant Diversity oh and the dog who did tricks

@HRTQueen

Susan Boyle didn't win, pretty sure she came 2nd to Diversity.

I had a horrid feeling she would win. 🤷‍♀️

Another bloody singer ffs

I avoided thread last hour as knew wouldn't see the ending on time

So finally seen and read last few replies

But knew it would be ms Christmas

Totally fixed

Sad really

yes she can sing but she's a pro

Just be truthful about background and will have much more support and respect from the public

Simon gave her a massive hug and sure saw pound signs

And considering it's all done for the royal variety show and for the king

Does Charlie really want to watch another singer

taekwondo amazed they don't hurt their feet on all the Broken split wood on the floor

Just watched this now. Recorded it earlier. Very disappointed. So contrived and predictable. Can't believe a bloody seasoned professional off the sodding WEST END has won it. Sydnie Christmas isn't even that good. YES she can belt out a very loud note or two, but her voice is just not that nice. I couldn't listen all the way through, and fast-forwarded her performance 2 minutes in.

At LEAST 5 acts in that final deserved it more than Sydney Christmas. The choir, the 2 lovely girl dancers, (Abigail and Afronitaa,) comedian Alex Mitchell, the guy who sang opera (Innocent Masuku.) And even the magicians! And I am not a huge fan of magicians! I am stunned Sydnie Christmas won. What a load of crap. BGT was 3 hours long tonight - almost - and I whizzed through it in about an a hour and 20 minutes... (I just cut all the breaks and the bullshit out.)

Crap series. Needs binning now. Almost full of contrived and scouted acts and rubbish acts.

I think it needs binning, or at least resting

If it comes back, have 2 sections one for semi pros one for complete amateurs

2 voting categories

Each winner performs at the royal variety

It really made me cross when Simon stressed none of the acts were professionals, don't think he's ever done that and are you sure about that Simon??

I think there should also be a children's final - all the children that got thru to the semis should then x amount or even all of them depending on how many there is, go to the final and compete against themselves.

An extra 30 mins would suffice, and somehow at the same time they need to cut down a 3 hour final there was 11 acts = 3 mins - ish each.

They are already looking for talent next year 2025 so don't think much will change in terms of formatting. I could be wrong

One other thing I wanted to mention about Sydnie Christmas that really grinds on me is the stupid gurning she keeps doing. When she was standing up there (waiting for her name to be called as the winner,) 🙄she kept pulling the most ridiculous faces, puffing her face out, and screwing up her nose, and twisting her face in to silly positions, and then puffing out her face again. Very annoying!

Here is the breakdown of last nights results.

Not even close then? Were the public manipulated?

My face when she won 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

72% didn't vote for her though so she wasn't that popular even if she did win.
