Britain's Got Talent 2012, day 2

Something's starting today,
Where did he go, why you want it to be?
Well you know November has come,
When it's gone away ..

Second round was on tonight. Amanda Holden had a better choice of dress.

The first act to go through, and rightfully so, was the mind blowing opera duo Jonathan and Charlotte. That kid IS Hurley from Lost and a definite Hagrid in the making but he can definitely sing, even if it does ocasionally look like he's doing a huge hard poo when he hits some of the higher notes. The girl on the team is still pretty good, though if she hasn't already, she'll be teaching Hurley the meaning of 'the friendzone' in weeks to come.

The other act through tonight were Kai and Natalia, the ballroom dancers, who were loads better than the other generic dance groups that there were. As if that guy's only about 16.

Tonights losers:

Four corners - dance group, same old, same old. The only redeeming feature of this group was the pink haired girl, but that in itself became a drawback because nobody cared about the 20 other guys she was sharing the stage with. Even Alesha caught herself out during the judges comments with something like "Mmm, you are talented and passionate and .. oh, in fact, all the rest of you were good too, yeah .."

Cascade - they do some impressive stuntman choreography, but really, who's gonna let the French win Britain's got Talent?

Karizma Krew - danced. In a group.

The Show Bears - I vaguely remember something similar a few years back. These guys are more like cruise ship entertainment, and not just because of the sailor outfits.

Fish on Percussion - actually not bad, I always find drummers quite cool. If he'd just gotten rid of all the people dancing around him. Apparently he's a frequent percussionist in Ibiza and played at Beyonces VIP afterparty in Egypt. Why he's here I don't really get.

Graham Blackledge - when you list cool instruments, the organ doesn't usually make the cut. Though having said that, the bloke playing it didn't exactly rescue the act. He was a little weird, and not in a classic stage fright way. I see a future for him as an ever-so-slightly-awkward musician, shilling his BGT fame around, before ending up at Butlins as the backing musician in a restaurant, along with some 17 year old boy-girl combo called something shit like 'Bezerque' or 'Misteree'.

Paige Turley - 14 year old scottish singer. Makesh my houshemate Kellie do her besht Sean Connery voice by acshident when she comesh on shtage. She wasn't bad, but I'm liking the fact that we've got some acts which aren't just singers going through. I reckon we'll pick up enough singers like her in the next few days.


You stay classy San Diego.
