I don't know if this is just me but I feel like BGT is just on TV to much now and I'm getting bored, maybe it was just last night did not really entertain me that much who knows?
Up last night were New Bounce, Jean Martyn, David and Karen, Enchantment, Lorna Bliss, Herbie Armstrong, Up and Over and Two and a half Men.
Remember Lorna? |
Herbie Armstrong was quite good last night, I wouldn't say that I enjoyed it that much. You would expect him to be good as he was a set musician for years before he ran pubs, last night he sang Mandy, it was ok but it is not good enough to beat either Ronan Parke or New Bounce. Herbie did not get through to the final.
Two and a half Men now, they were quite good their dancing act told a real story kind of like watching an old Laurel and Hardy sketch, enjoyable to a point but I got a bit bored of it half way through. Up and Over also featured last night, they are Irish dancers formally part of Riverdance, they do Irish dancing with their hands. Simon Cowell was not impressed and neither was I to be honest, they are out to.
David and Karen are the magic act who do some great illusions, the one they done last night was pretty impressive and I have no idea how it's done, unfortunately they did not make the cut last night. They got into the top 3 but where pipped to the post by Jean Martyn.
Jean now, she is the 59 year old retired school teacher, my wife and I were sitting talking about her. You would want this lady to be your kids school teacher, it would be the best class in school I'm sure. I said last time that at times she looks like she is not playing the keyboard and is simply pressing pre set buttons. She did prove last night that was not the case and she does in fact play, it was great and she was in the last two winning the judges vote against the magicians.
Now to the winners of the night New Bounce, I was not to impressed with them in the first audition. They made no real impact for me, their performance last night was by far and away the best they won the public vote, and they are now favourites to take the competition.
