Didn't see Max so going to catch up now on what I missed .
Will skip the scary dancers though 😲

bizzey · 18/05/2025 21:19

Well ,, just watched what I missed ...not a lot !

How the hell did squeezy chicken man get through the semi -final 😲😲😡😡😡😤 ..

Said it before ..will say it again ..

Jannick woz robbed !

bizzey · 18/05/2025 21:20

Ohhhh ..

I just did something I have not got a clue how I did it ...
But it fits 😂😂

bizzey · 18/05/2025 21:20

Max is in Heart radio ?

bizzey · 18/05/2025 21:21

Is the wild card only for contestants who came 3rd ?

Max is in Heart radio ?

I thought that was weird, can't stand the station so avoid it where possible but do acts usually go on things like that?

SquashedMallow · 18/05/2025 21:38

My jaw hit the floor at who got through!

Am NOT getting the hype over Max. He was 'panto/local theatre ' very average. Agree something fishy about the over promotion.

Comedian- load of hype. Lovely guy, quite obviously. Great personality. But not funny and not worth of a GB I'm afraid.

The magician was way too over engineered. It was absolutely obvious that Davina knew. Which took any "magic" out of it.

The Dolls were by far the best alongside young Maya.

Post office group have my respect and sympathy but they shouldn't have gone through to the final.

Think a pp is correct : some digging heels in over voting for non British acts.

SquashedMallow · 18/05/2025 21:43

Ps absolutely still banging the #janickwasrobbed drum. I hope he gets the wild card.

I love the way he totally owned and parodied his own campness. Refreshing to see an out and proud pink glittery, effeminate, flouncy gay man (like we did a decade or so ago ) that's not brainwashed to believe he must be a "woman" 😀

bizzey · 18/05/2025 22:23

I looked up the wild card rules .
From I can see for previous years ...

Viewers can pick a wild card from any of the 3rd placed contestants and the judges can pick any of the other remaining contestants, not just the 3rd placed ones .

I hope the judges use their power wisely !!

PlumpHobbit · 18/05/2025 23:36

Why do I get the sense the judges will want Max as the wild card.... just the whole repeated "it's not a set up" followed by the judges really promoting him after his performance/him appearing on heart (where Amanda is a presenter) just doesn't feel right. I'd understand if his voice was absolutely incredible, but while I don't like his song, so that doesn't help, I found him "fine" rather than goosebumps/gripped.

I'd like Cheer re Man's to get the wildcard they were fab

I find old school magic boring (prefer Derren Brown type stuff) but agree Jannick put on a proper show, he had something going on the whole time

I wanted to like TK, as would like to see a magician in the final, but he babbled on for way too long, and found the focus was far too much on Davina on the phone/the judges. I found myself wanting him to just get on with it, same as the female magician in one of the other semi finals. Neither had the stage presence some of the previous magicians have had, where you're gripped by them talking and building up to the big reveal

I enjoyed the comedians audition, didn't laugh once tonight, found his material very repetitive just over and over the theme about being short of money in different guises and the elongating of long on more than one occasion drove me mad. Should have done more material about parenthood, his audition was funny because it was so relatable

Convinced judges decide on their GB before seeing everyone perform/basing it on their performance on the night. I did agree with Blackouts and the Drag Queen getting the others but not tonight's. Public being anti non UK acts doesn't help, Convinced it plays a part in the voting.

Also too many singers in the final, one has gone through from every semi final so far, making half the acts singers, and i say that as someone who liked Jasmine.

SquashedMallow · 19/05/2025 09:28

Totally agree about the fishy over promotion of Max. The more I think about it, the more irked I feel 😅

I also feel like that about the comedian. I don't get the hype !?

Maya and Idolls were absolutely robbed. I can't believe panto Max got in the top 2 over Maya. Ludicrous. That story with him is so overbaked. I do think it was staged, at least to some degree.

I think the judge's have already chosen and planned their GB. There's a lot of rigging and 'theatre' happening this show. Even my 8 yr old DD picked up on it !

Evening all....

bizzey · 24/05/2025 19:10

PlumpHobbit · 24/05/2025 19:10

Please no more bloody singers in the final

I'd like to see plate lady and the magician go through

bizzey · 24/05/2025 19:11

I want to know what the judges were on putting some of these acts through .

Elderflower14 · 24/05/2025 19:11

This boys audition was rubbish and this is no better sadly.

FeatherChops · 24/05/2025 19:11

I mean this is cute but no. You can’t be mean to children though

PlumpHobbit · 24/05/2025 19:12

Unfortunately this isn't very good

Surely there were better acts who could have gone through

bizzey · 24/05/2025 19:12

i can if you want !
