Britain's Got Talent

I remember when it used to be a talent show, half the acts were terrible and we all had a good laugh.

But now, they don't have any "bad acts" because laughing at people is wrong. The acts that do get through are always accompanied by some woke message of acceptance, diversity, flag waving nonsense and it's painfully forced and boring. Coupled that with a panel of "judges" that include the utterly talentless Amanda Holden who had no place critiquing anyone.

I don't understand why are there auditions from other countries who don't speak English at all auditioning for BRITAINS GOT TALENT, but they aren't British!

Confused!

Plus why do the audience cheer when there's clearly NO talent just stupidity- this makes a mockery of the programme!

Clearly the show have to let through ridiculous auditions for it to work and the audience are told when to cheer/clap seriously is a mockery and there's microphones on certain members of the audience - all very fake to me!

BGT is turning out to be very disappointing I really am not worried about missing this if I have other things on!

Britain's Got Talent is an entertaining talent show, that is very addictive to watch. It is true though that some of the people who went on the show were laughable like the singing saxophone(Simon summed it up perfectly when comparing it to a baby crying), though in the recent series there have been revelations like Diversity, Susan Boyle and I am probably the only one who was very surprised by Hollie Steele, despite her meltdown in the semi final. Ant and Dec are very entertaining presenters too, not annoying, actually funny mostly. The judges are fine, Piers has said a number of very unfair things in the past, and there have been a number of times when I have disagreed with his decision-making. Amanda Holden, I know is an actress, but she is very beautiful and encouraging, so I don't mind her. Simon seems a lot less critical than he is on the X Factor, yes he has said some nasty things, but he does tell the truth(well most of the time) but sometimes doesn't put it in the right way. Britain's Got Talent is very entertaining, especially in the audition weeks, and fun to watch, but I'd rather watch it on my television than participate on it. 7/10 Bethany Cox

It's impossible to pick up a British tabloid without reading about the newest media star created by this show . I decided to ignore it since it's lumpen nonsense . The panel itself was enough to give the show a miss

Piers Morgan . A former Fleet Street editor of a rag called The Daily Mirror . Morgan's main claim to fame is that he published obviously faked pictures of soldiers " torturing " suspects at a Basra army base . Anywhere else in the world this would have led to him facing charges of treason but after being sacked by the paper his career really took off in a big way . Only in Britain

Amanda Holden . An actress who is famous for being Amanda Holden , which tells you how well she's made a career out of being an actress

Simon Cowell . Okay fair enough

The word talent is very vague . On Britain's Got Talent it seems " talent " is a euphemism of " gimmick " . You got a family pet that can tap dance then have a go on this show . If you're a talented human being who can play an invisible musical instrument or juggle wheelbarrows then audition and you'll be chosen for the semi finals . If you're even less talented than your peers then don't worry because " talent " can be an euphemism for " sob story victim "

Actually this is why the show is so objectionable - it's highly manipulative . Someone comes on and says they've had a close family relative die recently , or they've reached middle age without receiving a french kiss and everyone will fall over themselves to improve the victim's life . Perhaps the worst personification of this was ten year old Hollie Steel bursting in to tears and being told by the producers she's blown her chance . Cue more banshee like wailing from young Hollie that led to Simon saying " I don't know how but we'll find time to give you a second chance . I can see young Hollie having a career as an actress since talent or a lack of it has never stopped Amanda Holden being famous

But this show has nothing to do with anything resembling talent does it ?

So some of the 'novelty acts' are getting weeded out but how come there are so many acts that are not British. Korea, Canada, South Africa, Ukraine.

And why is it that I need to write another 300 odd words to get my comment published. I now need 310 characters so I'm gonna blather on until I hit the required number of characters and won't be bothering to post anything incited.

So, in case you've list the plot what this review was about was to complain that there are not so much that there are too many non-British acts bit that there are any at all!

I hand net the required number of characters.

Why not call it 'The World's got Talent.' Ridiculous.
