Alis girls Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Must admit not really in the mood for this but ES persauded me to watch it with him and gigled our way thro it. Ant and Dec make me laugh. The very large lady with the flags over her naughty bits was a bit over the top, not sure how HRH would take it, no doubt Phil would find it "spiffing" Where some people get the idea from they have talent is beyond me our cat could do better. Caught eldest son training cat to jump over his leg 2day so watch out Kate and Gin (think thats dogs name) we may see ginger tom and teenager on show yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I liked it We went to the auditions in Birmingham so I Sky +'ed it just incase we were in the audience, but I didn't spot us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I never normally watch this, but had it on whilst tackling some ironing. What about the lady from Scotland ?Susan? who surprised everyone with her amazing singing. A real Paul Potts moment. Good for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitbag Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 What about the lady from Scotland ?Susan? who surprised everyone with her amazing singing. A real Paul Potts moment. Good for her. It just goes to show how shallow some people can be. I must admit when she first walked out, I thought it would be an odd act, but I was taken aback when she started singing! I got a bit emotional and I was ashamed of myself that I assumed that about someone before I knew what she was doing. I suppose it's just human nature, although I try not to let myself do it! I agree you Egluntine. Good for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I thought it was brilliant and was in fits of laughter at some points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 No she was brilliant. unfortuanately its a cruel world out there so she may not find it as easy as it looks. however Paul Pottts made it and has a new set of nashers and has lost some wt so who knows. Good luck Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 LOVED IT! Flawless were fantastic, we rewined it to watch again. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 We also had this on in the background and I ended up watching it properly! There were some really good acts weren't there? I loved Susan - I was in tears at the reaction she got, I cringed at the way people were laughing at her so it was lovely to see their reactions. I'm glad the judges admitted that they were also guilty of prejudging her! Go Susan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbb Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Just goes to show that you should never judge a book by its cover. Susan was fantastic. Beautiful voisce. Enjoyed Flawless. Simon was so correct about the family group. The young lad Elliott was the best of the whole family. Wonder what next week will bring to us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 The very large lady with the flags over her naughty bits was a bit over the top, DD (7) thought the flags were real.....so we didn't shatter her illusion!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonix Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Susan was amazing - i must admit that I did thinkshe would be a joke act and was a bit ashamed that I thought it. But then again she seemed to have that personality that seems typical of the personality of some of the joke act so she was definately a real surprise. Im glad that Amanda voiced what we have all said and admitted that she too did the same and it was a real wake up call. xXx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Yes I agree Susan was great. I was a bit shocked as ES asked me if I thought she was possibly a transexual as she had very heavy eyebrows (aah innocense of youth). We had a long conversation about beauty from within etc. He couldnt belive she was my age which made me feel a little better esp as I look like death warmed up with a stinking cold The only thing I would say is dont wear beige love - I have yet to see a woman who can wear this colour ( cue for all u lovelies who look great in beige to take me to task ) I think you have to be stunning to carry it off. Otherwise I loved the Greek Cypriot son and dad ( I am married to GC so am biased) Flawless. Gloria the witch - scarey loved the cackling at the end.

Chickvic Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I enjoyed it! My favourite has to be the Greek Dad and Son. That was just hilarious - the kids didn't get it but I was in fits! Susan had an amazing voice and the one with the flags what can I say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 yes I loved the dad and son act, from the mic over at the beginning I thought, oooh no they are not going to come out all serious, but then he came out and I was in fits of laughter, best act I have seen in ages for the variety performance. Hubby and I were saying that they should have a variety performance show with just these acts, it might be worth watching half the time then!

Guest Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 it was very entertaining, the awful ones were good to laugh at and the good ones were very good! Susan and the male dancers doing the hip hop/street style dancing were amazing! Did you see the guy that did a headstand from lying down without using his hands!!! I loved Stavros Flatley and his son, very original and very funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Just watched Susan on Youtube. She did so well with that song which in the original musical was song by Ruthie Henshall. I just love Les Mis (seen it 3 times and the songs always make me get goosebumps). Good for her - I hope she manages to realise her dream.
