Brought tears to my eyes for different reasons....
Awful singers this year, no real talent.
How can this be entertainment, apart from the voyeuristic/schadenfreud element?
This year the producers have decided to make a feature of the emotional side, whipping up all the poor wannabes into a frenzy of false hope, desire and self delusion.
Hence all the shots of desperate young people with their equally tone deaf families, clinging onto these delusions, all proclaiming that they
have to be chosen because 'it is their life's purpose', and because 'they wannit so much.'
ITV and Simon Cowell must be rubbing their hands with glee.
Bit like trading perhaps?
Agree with cranking up the emotion. Exploitation of youngsters ? yes it does seem that way but I felt it . Now as for the talent, hmm again I know what you mean but Out of the final 12, one stood out to me... as wow, and that was 15 year Emily, her voice and I only saw that episode just gone her singing for 1 minute, but shes got soul. When she sang she looked empty though, drained with numb with pain almost, but her voice had (i thought anyway) star quality to it ?
Of course the TV guys want their pound of flesh and yeah , they did milk the "look at me, Ive made the decision, and only 3 can go through etc"
Those kids got balls to get up there, no ones got a gun to their head?
I liked watching it because I like hearing the people sing, (some are rough as f...) but the odd diamond shines through, anyway Emily I thought was the best so far....
im not looking for people to flop , i think , like ive said takes guts to get up and try.. I thought that Paul Pots bloke did well ? noticed he's banged an album out ...
If I remember the final 20th oct, i'll have a look, I'd like to hear that Emily girl sing a bit longer , hmm also thought (i think it was from the girls groups) one girl sounded like a Lauryn Hill, pretty funky I thought
that was the group who had the crim, sent out in the "shock scandal" bit
when that Paul Potts bloke one his show, might of been brits got talent, I welled up then too
when he was bangin nessum dorma out, I felt for him, I feel it and see it happy emotion.. of course and the whincing too, sad emotion when some on the youngsters are devastated.... hope they recover..
And yes some of them are bloody funny too
god bless Icaro ...
hope no one thinks he should of won it.... ooops..
Im cheerin on for Emily.
