Susan did great, but obviously nervous at the start....how about Jamie Pugh a few weeks back on BGT....singing 'Bring Him Home' from 'Les Mis'....outstanding!

Jamie Pugh 'Bring Him Home'


My friend Mr. abs,

I'm a sentimental thing no doubt but it's the rare occasion when something like Jamie Pugh's performance has that sort of affect on me.

I find there's something - not sure what - more civilized about the entire approach in Britain's Got Talent versus American Idol.

Both Miss Boyle and Mr. Pugh are working class people with extraordinary depth and humility. In its way I find Pugh's performance (and subsequent response to the audience) such a tremendous lesson to us all to carry on no matter what.

That was an inspirational performance.

Many thanks for putting me on to it.

I found the frowzy, plain-Jane-humble-woman-who-lives-with-her-cat belting out Les Miserables thing very intriguing for a couple weeks.

But now her act just seems so... jejune.... so enervated.... so two weeks ago...

I'm afraid I've moved on to the next, new shining object.



I'm sorry..... I feel a deep-seated need to be contrarian this afternoon.

I'm going to take your post with the salt lick it deserves. Either you've really got the Cynical Grumpies today or your sense of humor has taken a temporary turn for the perverse.

And good lord, you just love that word; you know it's mine; give it back.

"Salt lick" sounds vaguely phallic to me..... Let's see. The "lick" is obvious.


Oh, yes! Semen is salty. That's it.


Just working out my inner demons here in public.

Its Shaun Smith, 17. He got through to saturdays final singing "With or without you". So far through;

Susan Boyle, Shaun smith, 2 urban dance acts (very similar), Stavros Flatley(father/son comedy dance act), 12 yr old Shaheen jaffacake(or something!).

Two more semi's(thur/fri) before sat final.

thanks xcuse for the update, I thought he was brilliant and a great looker as well as his team of mates in the audience.

Oh, no. Fame is taking its toll.

Susan is fending off paparazzi, in tears, shouting obscenities.

Who can blame her? Seriously. This has to be extraordinarily difficult for someone who's in no way prepared for this sort of thing.

Interesting that Piers noted that even "Susan knows she cracked at the beginning of the song and almost blew it" although none of the judges mentioned it in their critiques.

Or, instead of being a choir member in a small town in rural Scotland, she could have spent the last 10 years tending to her guyliner and wailing talents. Silly Susan.

Well I'm glad after 60 years she finally came out of her closet...


me thinks she will go right back into it.
