    I will watch tonight, or at least have it on in the background anyway.

    I have a feeling though that I gave up on it early on, in the last few series.

    I think it has run its course. Way too much time is allocated to sob stories.

    I tend to record it and fast forward everything bar the act and the entire show is about 15-20 mins in total. Even that has become abit of an effort.

    I hate these sob story acts even if they are good.

    What act was he expecting his 3 and 5 year old daughters to do ?

    he was in the audience presumably to watch them audition ????

    I dunno …….

    Fingers crossed. I hope it does return. 😁

    I am recording BGT and will skip most of the talky bits.

    I just don’t agree with final act being on it

    Simon clearly got her on for publicity

    it goes against the essence of the show for me

    Agree 100%, she's fantastic, what a voice....knocked it clean out of the park.......but TOTALLY GOES AGAINST the kinda 'ethos'....the raw idea of the show IMO

    Just caught up. Yes, that's a strange one, she is already an established performer. Publicity stunt, by Simon, I guess.

    I fast forwarded through most of the talky bits and the ads - not a bad opening night overall.

    Back again tonight for the next lot of auditions. 😁

    Mundane acts, and the over the top reaction from the judges


    '' oh my god, best I've ever seen''

    Last singer was basically the name Susan Boyle

    Amazing voice

    Even more amazing eyebrows !

    Not a patch on Susan Boyle. Susan Boyle was a once off, an undiscovered talent, a crazy cat lady with her own issues and a voice that only a person with those issues could have. Real emotion.

    This is a manufactured Susan Boyle.

    Reminded me of Mariah Carey at the beginning.

    I have to catch up yet on last night's.

    I liked the young ventriloquist from the first night and the magic act. The really young lads on the scooters will be very disappointed whenever they fail to get further. They were real cute little fellows but so young, not sure how they will cope with leaving.

    I fast forwarded the robot and the invisible man or whatever that was, with Amanda on stage.

    The dance act Intelligent Minds...'The U.K. - England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales'... not that intelligent imo. 🙄

    I watched this on catch up and my first thought after seeing Tom Ball sing was that it really reminded me of Susan Boyle’s audition. I called my wife in to watch the recoding (she hates this kind of show, whereas I’m a karaoke addict and love watching the singers and I tend to fast forward through the other acts) and I told her that I’d seen this singer who really reminded me of someone else. The minute he walked on, she said “Susan Boyle?”.

    I think he’s got a great voice and I don’t agree that he’s not a patch on Susan Boyle. Maybe he won’t have the same level of success as Susan Boyle, but I could definitely see him performing in the West End. And I agree that his eyebrows are somewhat amazing.

    Ahh I think Im getting confused here. I thought the person was referencing Lauren who sang the greatest showman song Never Enough (she sang last as well) not Tom Ball.

    She was like a Mariah Carey (even down to the hair) hence my comment.

    He was really brilliant and definitely has a future in the West End.

    I'm not a fan at all of that type of act, but that's very sad, poor guy.

    Agreed.

    Lovely child, as well, and very composed in answering the questions from the judges.

    That golden buzzer tonight was not deserved - what a weird mix of rap and piano, didn't work
