Britain's Got Talent Semi Final 4

Bit late tonight, my apologies, so I'm catching up on the website! In a show loaded with dance acts, Twist and Pulse the only ones I could say I'm looking forward to ...

So first out Ice and they're pretty tight actually, like the use of the canes, but again no big tricks, a good effort though for a school of dance.

Tyler Patterson does what he does and yes, for his age, compared to most kids, he's very good. But I thought his timing left a lot to be desired at the beginning, it was better in the latter half but doesn't finish moves the way we normally see in hip-hop or streetdancing. Overall, nowhere near the standards set by Akai, Sampson and Davis.

Mark James. I fast forwarded. No, I just didn't bother. Why would I? When will these people - and the judges who put them through - realise that these sort of acts are never going to work unless they can actually sing?

Twist and Pulse didn't disappoint, I love the humour they put into their routine, very creative, the technical moves with the well mixed music choices. Great fun and brilliantly done.

The Fusion have to follow that (for me, anyway - website, remember) the fact I still have to sit through adverts is really beginning to wind me up ... I liked the opening and was expecting them to burst into the Pirates of the Caribbean theme for a dance routine with a difference, it showed creative promise but just didn't go anywhere.

Janey Cutler could be Shirley Bassey in thirty years time, I personally don't like her voice but the audience are going wild and she's funny. What is Piers on? Best of the week? She may have big lungs but come on.

Emille Harris was dreadful - out of tune, flat, put it down to nerves, poor bloke. And singing a song of his own that no-one knows. So he might have been in tune but I wouldn't know. Bit unfair to buzz, considering some of the crud they've not.

And now for something completely different, Shaolin were dynamic and energetic and the closest type of act to Spelbound - they can hold the stage, it's the sort of show act you see on a variety show. But can't see them bringing anything new to the final.

So that's it - Twist and Pusle, as I expected, are my pick of the night and it's hard to see past the build up around Janey and that's exactly how it ends up: Janey wins the public vote; Twist and Pulse get the nod over the Fusion. I still maintain Spelbound FTW.

  1. I'm with you on this one - Twist and Pulse easily best of the night, though I admit I can see why people like Janey so much. She has a great personality and her upbeat, happy-go-lucky attitude will win her a lot of fans I reckon.

    Quite a few acts in the final now that I was really hoping would get there. It's going to be a really good show saturday :o)

    Fingers crossed for Kieron tonight!
