Britains Got Talent: Round Up #2

After watching the show I decided it wouldn’t be difficult to do a little roundup each week. Unfortunately ITV have disabled video embedding on youtube which basically means I will be providing links to the videos instead of having them on this site… without further ado….

Firstly there was Razy Gogonea who performed a matrix styled dance routine. It was one of those ones where you just knew it was going to be good and it lived up to all expectations. Watch out for the brilliant entrance onto the stage. He made it through to the next round with a yes from all three judges! 4/5

Secondly 54 year old Micky Gooch performed a one fingered press up on a nail. He claimed that he was the only person in the world who did it and for good reason. The audience was subjected to about a minutes worth of extreme finger bending that even the judges had to lean forward in their seats to see. In the end although pointlessly impressive it was deemed not entertaining enough to make it through to the next round. 2/5

Next up was 91 year old Ted and his granddaughter 21 year old Grace with a singing double act. Ted used to have a career as a professional entertainer and certainly entertained when he couldn’t hear anything the judges said. Ted sang ‘If i were a rich man’ before Grace interrupted with ‘If i were a rich girl’ before both joined forces to sing ‘New York, New York’. It was good but the comedy of deaf Ted and his incompetence to use a microphone properly were much more entertaining than the actual act. 3/5

Following one comedy was impersonator Les Gibson doing a few celebrity impressions. Since he has been a full time impersonator for 13 years it seemed a little bit unfair but im sure if you had that kind of talent you would think twice about entering! The first impression was Ant and Dec in ‘Im a celebrity get me out of here’. Some brilliant camera work showed Ant and Decs reaction after which they walked on stage and glared at Les. The impression of Ant was good but the impression of Dec was rather camp. Next was Sir Alan or Lord Sugar which ever one you prefer to call a poorly shaven millionaire by. His was pretty good and so was Ross Kemp which came next. To finish off Les performed a brilliant impression of Coronation Street’s Kevin Webster which was amazing and one of the best impressions in the act! Brilliant performance and easily onto the final. However you know that this is one of those acts that is very unlikely to win come finals. 4/5

Oh dear… Elaine Williams’ (Studying Cookery) claimed to be a comedian. To be honest just watch this one yourself. Words cant explain how poor this act was which resulted in her being booed off stage. Elaine didn’t take to well to this and swore at the audience before storming off stage. Britain’s got talent got a few more supposed jokes out of her. This was the most cringe worthy act of the entire show. Watch out for the extremely long pauses and and the best WTF? faces you will ever see! Apparently her soups are much better. 0/5

Second to last was Pipp and her dog Buddy did some singing together which was amazing on Pipps part but Buddy howling hardly improved the act. The audience gave a standing ovation but I really do think that she should ditch the dog and go solo. This act really isn’t sustainable for more rounds of the competition. 3/5

An audience with Edward Reid was the final act of the night. He started singing nursery rhymes. Very unexpected it was too! Anyway what started out being a complete joke ended up being a complete success and it was obvious that this act will go far! This is really the one to watch from all of the acts tonight. 5/5

Right thats all for now folks! Stay tuned for BGT episode 3 which is on Saturday 8pm on ITV1.
