Well the song she picked for the semi-final performance just didn't seem to fit her vocal range/style, I was seriously disappointed after hearing her earlier. That performance was merely adequate...

Suffice it to say, though, in the end, she got what she wanted. This homely Scottish woman from a lower class neighborhood with some basic vocal training got up on stage and proceeded to wow an audience and all three judges.
I'm thinking there's a chance she'll get invited by the queen personally, outside of the contest.

Dear god though, "ITV's got desparation" has apparently rung up an audience of 18.5 million viewers, the highest UK audience for a TV programme since 2004. That any programme featuring Piers Moron should be so popular makes me weep for the cultural intelligence of my country.

Are you kidding?
Britain's Got Talent is far superior to many American TV shows of a similar nature.
...
Take that as you will.

Well I got sick of hearing about her and I wasn't even paying attention, so a backlash doesn't seem too surprising. shows of a similar nature. Let's be really honest here: all these shows are, for some reason, crap. They needn't be, but I've yet to see one that isn't. |

He was amazing. I never watched the show, but if the rest of the competition was half as good as him, that show could be worth something. |

I'm thinking there's a chance she'll get invited by the queen personally, outside of the contest. No doubt; I wouldn't be surprised if she got a recording contract. Hell, most of the runners-up of American Idol still do. Also, you don't need to be good looking to be talented. You morons calling her ugly should know better.  |

Also, you don't need to be good looking to be talented. You morons calling her ugly should know better. Let's be honest, in todays market people like Roy Orbinson, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder would of never get a foothold. Do you think Mick Jager would be allowed on stage? Or Ozzie Ozbourne? (well I guess he was pretty good looking back in his day). The major record labels are more interested in looks. They can fix up your voice with technology. |

Maybe so, but how did we get to this point? It's a sad state of affairs that our society values looks more over real talent. |

The major record labels are more interested in looks. They can fix up your voice with technology. Not quite; invoking Sturgeon's Law and citing Kanye West, who can still sound thin under distortion, multi-tracking and AutoTune... At the very least, you have to nail most notes in key and hold notes reasonably well, because there's only so much that AutoTune can do to cover complete hackery. Of course, nothing says you have to have any personality, distinction or expressiveness. |
