Did anyone watch one of the semi-finals in last nights Britains got Talent? sorry to say some of the acts were a little disapointing. but judge Amanda Holden (bless) had a blonde moment. The act was a guy in a striaght jacket, suspended upside down from a 'blazing' rope. He said that if he didnt escape he could die. they suspended him about 10 meters high and lit the presoaked rope, about two meters above him. anyway he escaped from the jacket in time, and was lowered to the ground.

On summing up, judge Amanda said words to the effect that 'its good that the flames were burning upwards or he would have burned to death'. Simon Cowel had to explain to her that the 'danger' was in that the rope would burn through and the guy couldve fell to his death, landing headfirst. not the fact the fire would come down and burn him. Lol duh!!

I do get it. Honestly, I am a true blonde, (toddler pic.) but, sadly I had to think about it. I don't get the show, so thank you Michael for explaining it to us. It is a little funny.

do you think 'Britains Got talant' is fixed? during the audition run-up a young lad (talanted but nothing special) was auditioning when one of the judges stoped him (Didnt buzz) and reminded him he had another song. (How did the judge know that?) The lad changed his song and got through to the next round. he came on again last night amid a majority of very, very, poor entertianers singing a far too mature song that was deliberatly choosen to show his range, when a nice safe simple number would have been sufficiant to get him through in such poor support acts. (Why some of these acts ever got the chance was to make someone 'average' look good.) of course I could be wrong, time will tell. Another thing, voting, you can predict how the judges vote and does anyone ever realy know the full storey and independant number of veiwers votes?

Yeah, I agree that something doesn't quite ring true about the programme Michael and entirely agree with all the points you make. As for the 'predictable' judges voting, it's a joke! Nevertheless, they have found some new talent.

I think you are right Michael,,, I feel that way about American Idol,, I think they already know who they want to win and who there gonna let slide by and go on to bigger and better things..  i dont care much for any of the reality c..p shows because i think they are all fixed and some of these ppl are just put on there to make as* of themselves to get ppl to watch, its either that or nudity....

I agree with all of you. I sing at church, and everyone claps anyway, That talent I don't let it shine, poems yes, singing, no. Some of them Lord have mercy (American Idol) really their family or church members really should have just been straight honest with them, before they got to t.v. So I agree Michael, maybe they do pick (horrible) singers/ so called singers, to make the others look good. Hey, maybe I would qualify, At least I'd be on t.v., and get shot down, hey there's a thought. Merely joking. seriously guys, I agree, with everyone.
