I bet he will survive

A few more acts I've picked out based on number of hits rather than quality:

Thanks Yorkie ! It was very entertaining and funny to watch!
'Neo' was so flexible and he showed some new moves that were not included in Matrix.

When that IT guy came on the stage I also didn't expect much but he proved me wrong.

'Titanic'- even more unexpected turn

Loved the moment when the audience started to wave the hands - touching moment of unity. Maybe it could be invented in Libera concert someday, but it's not so easy, because the 'atmosphere of a song' should fit the moment

Out of the blue- no gloominess indeed

A capella sounds good.
Reminds me "In the Bleak Midwinter". Is there any other a capella song by Libera?

Edward Reid- that performance was hilarious! Even more than that last video of comedy.
ba ba here and ba ba there ... twinkle, twinkle little star

What a love song

And thumbs up to the last performer for the courage! 9 years old in front of such a large audience! And he had to get over the pressure of that 'fail' sound they all were more or less afraid off

lol-ed but it's so entertaining, Amanda is right, he will make those somewhat boring nursery rhymes fun to sing along, even for adults. the choice of music is quite nice too, Snow Patrol/Leona Lewis' "Run". and the presenter was like "What!?" when Edward started to sing the first line. i've had my best laugh while watching this.

Thanks, Yorkie!

John Rutter's "All Things Bright and Beautiful" (which has a cover by Libera or the group formerly known as Angel Voices since they weren't really Libera then) and "Sing a Song of Sixpence" come to mind. But they pale in comparison to Edward Reid's (at least in terms of hilarity).

Can any local write the punch line to David Knight's joke about the parachute jump? My foreign ears couldn't quite understand the words. I might get the joke if I get to read it. Hehe...

Goes to see granddad's 90 year old blind friend who had had a parachute jump for his birthday. He asked him how it went and the old man said it was great but his guide dog was absolutely terrified.

Oh, so it was "guide dog".

Couldn't quite make those 2 specific words out... If he wrote that one himself he's one funny kid!

Right lets see what we have this week. Not sure how this first guy qualifies to be on BGT - he's French & lives in France (and I think he has been on t.v. over there)......

James Hobley's dancing was amazing

Yeah, and he was so happy and truly into the show! Sincerely glad for him, he just needs a field where to express himself at his best side

And Michael was also very good!

Just love the show tonight- no need for a telley

The forum is much better

Yorkie · Post by **Yorkie** » 13 years ago

To get an idea of how much dancing has improved James' autism watch this older clip of him. maybe he is just older but I think dancing has allowed him to find himself and express himself. Really touching.

The official BGT clip has a little bit of the interview he gave prior to his performance so it's worth posting again:

Thanks for sharing these Yorkie, especially about the autistic kid that dances. Wish him all the best...

And I love Coldplay...

Latest instalment. The first one is a bit like a night out in my local pub......

~edit~ this guy wasn't terrible so I've added him in too

[youtube][/youtube]

And that was about it for what grabbed me to be honest. There were a couple of acts that bared all but as this is a family forum I thought I'd better not post them!

Thanks Yorkie !
It was a pleasure to see some more, particularly enjoyed 2 and a half

And Jai McDowall- I think he fits the description of ''deer in the headlights'' (pretty nervous beginning) but the ending was convincing- he got well deserved ovations !
