JP Liz V1

The judges this year are Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams

The show will return on 24th of March

im apprehensive about the inclusion of david walliams, little britain is hilarious, but out of character i find him very droll, i didnt know of michael mcintyre before last years BGT so i was apprehensive about him, but he turned out to be my favorite judge after so i was disappointed he didnt return this year. gutted about the hoff not returning either.

still though, at least simon cowell is now back in the driving seat and it'll be interesting to see how alesha dixon gets on. she was slated originally when she joined strictly come dancing but later silenced her critics by showing she actually knew what she was talking about.

i just hope it doesnt turn into a singing competition again this year, and that we see more diversity like spellbound:

It be interesting to see how it does ratings wise as it is going against The Voice UK some nights

xsiborg

given that the UK public have pretty much lost interest in anything x factor, it's going to be difficult for the voice to compete with BGT, even with the likes of will.i.am and jessie j.

they overlap by 50 mins apparently. i quickly lost interest in the irish version of the voice, but i always watch BGT because as much as whatever of the show is comprised of singers, theres often the odd nugget of talent to keep an eye on throughout the course of the competition...

I HATE the judging panel this year, so I'm not sure I'll be watching.

David Walliams gives me the creeps *shudder*

this, times a hundred.

i just dont think he'll have the personality for it.

as i said, outside little britain and having seen him in interviews, he's pure deadpan, whereas michael mcintyre had a bit of life in him!

Times another hundred. Ugh.

Can't stand David Walliams OR Alesha Dixon. I'll probably still watch it though...

For me, it's not so much deadpan as the really unfunny faux-gay sexual innuendos he's always making - about everything. It's beyond tiresome.

Just wait, he'll start the same schtick on the auditioning acts, pretending to be a camp gay man and making all sorts of smutty double entendres in a p!ss poor attempt at humour.

Frankie Howerd he is not... more like that creepy uncle you always felt slightly uncomfortable around!

ohh christ, i'd forgotten he does be at this shít...

i think i'll just be sky +'ing this one, least that way i'll be able to fast forward through all the chaff.

on a positive note though, there's a girl from limerick on it this year, made it through to the final six of the youtube auditions-

from the random waffle thread in the limerick forum:

i think she could do very well...

Don't understand the hate for David Walliams myself.. very quick witted, always willing to take the piss out of himself and there's few celebs that do more for charity.

Have always liked the guy!

I hate him. I never thought he was funny, think he comes across as a smug arrogant knobend, and apparently really is a knobend when the camera isn't on him too

Mr.Crinklewood

Brilliant gay dancers.

Paparazzo

Not sure if I can handle another season of this. Background music building up to a crescendo to Simons decision so it's obvious he's going to say yes.

you must have missed it in the previous 11ty seasons

Paparazzo

Cowell standing up, he smells a gap in the market and a record deal.

antodeco

Did that choir just sing the word 'twat' on national TV?

Sanity_Saviour

Apart from the choir, this is easily the worst episode of the four seasons that I've watched.

EDIT: I take that back, he is Un_BUH-LIEEVABLE.

Paparazzo

Meatloaf is good!

Lady Chatterton

Wow, the opera couple are very good

Paparazzo

Feel sorry for the girl.

I feel really sorry for her too, he would never have gone on stage without her by his side.

However, I do think the judges are right, he would be better on his own.

Fair play to him saying that he wouldn't go through without her though.

Queen-Mise

That welsh boy's choir are incredible... The two male vocals at the beginning were stunning

Queen-Mise

There is a whole new level of lunacy in this show that you don't get in any other ...

Glorious viewing :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Eyepatch

Am enjoying this show like never before! Great variety and talent.

Am not so keen on the follow-up show with Stephen. I think that's a bit silly and stupid.

Silvio.Dante

The 'old' mark from Fair City is on tonight straight from rejection in the Voice of Ireland...

1966

Only 3 judges tonight ?

twirlagig

I just Love Ant & Dec!:D

Busi_Girl08

I'm really enjoying this xylophone guy

1966

Wow I never thought the xylophone could be so entertaining..........

Busi_Girl08

Ant and Dec playing around added to it for me. I loved them playing with the toy xylophone and running out to hug him afterwards.

They are just brilliant!

1966

What the heck is this one about ?

xsiborg

xylophone guy was brill, glad to see he went through as it might dilute the pool of the usual singers that go through and add some diversity to the show which so far seems lacking.

the burlesque dancer was terrible, as were the east17 time warp effort.

enough has probably been said about the amount of adverts between each act already and im also not pushed on the whole contestant commentary VT's, fillers basically!

and this so called girl band dying on its árse already... :rolleyes:

Busi_Girl08

Ah I love those guys.

Love that they're helping other people

twirlagig

Oh here's Mark!

i missed that, gotta be honest Busi i wasnt really paying attention to any of the VT's or adverts, and the way they're switching locations and judges with carmen electra popping up every so often is just wrecking my tits...

Busi_Girl08

I swear to fook I saw this guy audition on RTE's The Voice.

1966

He is very good......................................good guitar playing too.

twirlagig

He was great - fair, fair play to him....

Birdsong

is this the guy that was on fair city & the voice

1966

this show ends on a climax every night

you'd be right too, lol, he was also the original 'mark' in 'fair city', i hate to sound like an ass but the song did nothing for me, and there's an awful lot of hyperbole and hype and exaggeration flying around that arena at the moment, made for a great back story though to catch the publics attention! :rolleyes:

/cynical bástard...

amacachi

Jesus, I forgot just how bad this show was. Awful stuff. The sound editting is so OTT.

Yeah it is, I had him pegged straight away. He's incredibly recognizable.

His song was very good and he sang it very well. Good guitar playing too.

This crowd are gonna be embarrassing. You can just tell!

Silvio.Dante

I watched "Mark" on youtube this morning. He did really well...:)

Samich

He's stuck everywhere.

that ryan guy such a phony
