Think this is a classic example of that addage.
watched this last night on Britains got talent, she stated she wanted to be like Elaine Paige, I thought oh my god he we go another twat going to make a fool of themselves.

Close your eyes and listen to it, I've a picture of a Katherine Jenkins figure.
Still why are we suprised ugly old woman can't sing ;D
Aye, looks like she fell from the ugly tree, and hit every branch on the way down, but she is a terrific singer.
Same oul format as the unlikely looking Paul Potts doing Pavorotti on that show. The panel look at each other raisng their eyes to the heavens-he had a fantastic voice-yer one wipes away a tear and cheesy head's jaw drops while the audience gives a standing ovation. Is so contrived. I'm sure they already heard her.

your an ole sceptic, but the point I was making was the judgement one not their reaction, which may or may not have been contrived. I thought she was going to be another in a long line of wasters, but there you go, so what did you think?
I'd heard about her before I saw the clip you put up so kind of knew what was coming. There are people with obvious mental difficulties go on that X Factor and shout and roar out a song much to the amusemnet of Simon Cowell and those other two pratts. Is very exploitive of vunerable people who think they are going to be famous. Aye yer one looked like another one of those but it goes to show you really never can tell... 8)
i always say that when i'm talking about meself ........ ::)
Leenie, who is that in that avator (or watever its called) you have?
Oh! I thought you were saying she had a head on her like yer woman on that talent show.
i see she has had 17 million hits on youtube, been on the CBS breakfast programme and is apparently going to appear on the Oprah show.
If she was a traditionally good looking woman, would she be getting this much interest shown in her? That said, good luck to her. Fame's a flick game, so she should milk it while she can.
May as well be another talant show thread, this wee fella was good.

I agree with Simon, the first song he sang was the wrong song for him. However, when he did Michael Jackson.... wow!!

It's only when you watch it again that you realise how fixed this show really is. In saying that, the wee lad was superb.
I hate the way there's been such a fuss made over this woman because of the way she looks. Why should that even be taken into account?
Actually in general I really hate these f***ing talent shows and the obsessive way people follow them. The X factor is the worst but there's a different f***ing one every month. Do people never get tired of watching the same show slightly adapted again and again?!

Yes, how convenient that they had the backing track for his other song ready to go. 100% staged.
Don't want to be seen to defend this nonsense but do you think when the wee lad changed songs and they spent 20 minutes searching for the track it would appear in the show. With editing you have no idea how convenient anythin was.
Of course not, it's a guess. The show is edited to death i'd imagine. It's made for 'good' TV, so adding in a bit of suspense is surely part of the game.

Poor show tonight,the last two acts will more than likely go through,
I thought the dance act last night were far better than the Flawless dance group tonight
It was poor enough - saturdays final will be essential viewing !
Go Fred
I would love to see the bloke who plays the saxaphone win this, but is Susan Boyle an unbeatable favourite?

She was crap and I'm sure is a real pain in the hole. In the final on sentimentality. That Amanda Holden would get a rattle alright, plastic face or not.
can't believe thon wee girl got through either. She wasnt much better the second time!! Have to say the acts that were chosen for each night this week were hand picked awful carefully, didnt see susan boyle up against yer man smith or that other wee singer! Could near predict each night who was gonna go through! interesting to see who wins it now though!
Just watched the repeat there..Don't think that wee girl should have got through either.
She had a chance like everyone else and didn't take it first time...No one else got a second chance!!

after the mealtdown she was an absolute cert to get through, the sympathy vote went into overdrive and I think if she diddnt get a second chance she still would have qualified for the final
Cruelty putting her through that again.
I had a terrible dream last night, it was utterly horrific, a real f**king blood curdling nightmare, so bad in fact i woke up screaming. Dreamt i had a boil on the end of my c**k. It was no ordinary boil, it was...............

Can't decide who i want to win
would have wanted Susan boyle to win form the first round, but would love Diversity to do it
Hope Flatley takes it, but they wont.
There's something not right with Susan Boyle!
I think she was mightily relieved she didn't win. At once stage before the result I thought she was going to combust.
Diversity were class. Susan Boyle is mentally unstable. Would have liked the Flatley's to win, but not to be!!!!!!

That's because she has learning difficulties
Read earlier she's in line to make a fortune. Probably best someone different won it as the singers will make it on their own anyway. The dance groups will have some success, but not as much as Susan Boyle will have. Was disappointed Stavros Flatley wasn't in top 3. Would like to see the rankings for all 10 acts tonight to see where they were placed.

I thought she was released from one to appear in the show and is merely returning. Could be wrong.
Susan Boyle deserves enormous credit!
Just think for a minute....you go for an audition, plucked from obscurity, the world's press on your door step, preparing to go onto a stage and perform in front of a studio crowd like that, never mind the TV audience.....and perform as she did.
Nothing short of amazing.
I think it says alot about society in general, we focus on her weakneses rather than her enormous achievement.
Susan gets special treatment. Apparently she ran down the hallway after the result shouting, "I hate this show!" and was taken to the Priory for treatment. Is unfair as I ran down the hall of my own house shouting the same thing and was told to 'shut up.'

Apparently the breaking dancing pensioner has been getting a disablity allowance, due to a war injury. He got it, because he can't walk too good.
The Department for Work and Pensions saw him on Britian's Got Talent and has suspended his allowance, pending an investigation.
