Britain's Got Talent Semi Final 3

It's looking a better line up tonight, thankfully - Peridot I know will impress, it's up to the others to beat them as far as I'm concerned. Why this huge welcome for the judges, anyone would think it's their show ...

Starburst out first, another big dance group and it doesn't always work ... love that they'll spend the prize on new toilets, now that's proper prioritising. Cute and bright as a packet of Smarties, a lot of jumping up and down on the spot but great fun.

Chloe Higginbottom. I never got the appeal first time around I'm afraid, she's only ten, singing Vera Lyn and she has got an older voice. That makes her different, but not neccessarily listenable. Much preferred her tone in this, but ... some strange pronunciation going on there. Morn River?

Philip Grimmer, Madonna impersonator. Please - the next big thing? What are these people on? Oh, WOW -fantastic, I lost count of how many gorgeous, sexy, topless male dancers there were on stage. Phillip who?

Impressionist Paul Burling - proper good old fashioned fun with a couple of laugh out loud moments, good luck to him tonight. "Good luck Paul" shouts a deep, manly voice from the audience. "Thanks, mum," he quips, quick as, lol.

The Arrangement - now, bizarrely, I liked this lot's audition but caught between comedy and seriousness may be their undoing - having a vocalist who's not actually that good! He's started well, with Bad Romance, now he's rapping and he's improved! Fight For Our Love now, opera stylee, lol. Big finish coming up - JLS, this is brilliant - they've really rehearsed, it's polished, I Have A Dream next and he held the stage alone, the band all around the edges. Really, really well done!

The dancing leprechaun, Jimmy Forde - Simon says this is what you get for letting Louis on the panel! Er, forgot to watch him, too busy trying to do it meself, begorrah ... I'm sure he was quite sweet in his own way.

Ah, now, this makes it a tougher evening - Christopher Stone impressed me before, has a lovely tone to his voice. Singing The Impossible Dream - and how wonderful to hear a BGT contestant sing a song the way it should be sung (and I don't even like that song). Great finish, gave it everything there, definitely relaxed, channelling the nerves, did everything a performance coach would have asked of him.

And finally, a proper dance group! Peridot show the other troupes the way, but could lose out if the audience do decide that Streetdancers have had their fair share of success on BGT. As the lad said, movement, technique, slick, tight, easily the best dance troupe so far - but, needed something more uptempo, funky and musical for the audience at large to get it. Unfortunately, I have to agree with both Piers and Amanda. May have blown it - will be top four and it will be close.

The other three will be Christopher, Paul and The Arrangement I think, perm any two from them. Much tighter than last night, some real choice! Back later x

Quick recap while I amend some spellings ... Pixie Lott with Turn It Up. She's live, I do believe - one of my favourite albums this year.

And the first act through ... Paul Burling - YAY - local boy, see, not that I'm biased! Tough choice coming up though between ... Christopher Stone and Peridot. Actually, for the judges it's not a tough choice at all - I can't see them putting Peridot through over Christopher. Only nine minutes to find out though ... Piers goes for Christopher, Amanda strings it out for crying out loud - unless you're going to completely change your mind on how you rated them tonight, you daft bint - Simon said he would go for Peridot though. Only two shows left, I'm out both nights, so will be a late blog. TTFN x
