Aidan Davis - Dancer
DCD Deniors - Dance Group Good Evans - Singers Greg Pritchard - Singer Hollie Steel - Singer/Ballerina Luke Clements - Performer Martin Matcham - Musician The Dreambears - Dance/Entertainment Act I'll be posting my comments as each act performs...
The Dream Bears
The boys are as camp as they come and although Simon thinks they shouldn't be in the semi-final, they're promising "something amazing!"
![]() They bop around in raincoats to it's raining men and then strip down to union jack vests and red rubber hotpants! Even Simon is in shock and he doesn't buzz until the second chorus. The guys throw some shapes and keep the routine going, the crowd are on their feet.
Wit woo! Simon admits he buzzed, "Because we had a wardrobe malfunction with the guy on the left!" LOL! I didn't even notice one of the guys was flashing his undies, his pants had split!
Simon said, "It was clumsy, the costumes didn't fit and of course it's not the sort of thing that the Queen would want to see."
Amanda loves it and said there's no reason they can't have three queens infront of the queen. Piers is beginning ot worry as he's starting to see them as a guilty pleasure. Great fun, but I don't think they'll make the final.
Good Evans
Grrr! The judges told the parents of this group to step back and let young Elliot come to the fore. This young man was sensational in the first audition, but I'm dissapointed to see the parents say "We've decided 'as a family' to perform together in the semi-final."
![]() Mmmm... Had it been Elliot on his own I think he would have had a shot at the final, but Peers buzzes the minute the parents open their mouths. Have they blown it?
Piers: "It just doesn't work, Elliot's the star here. He's been mobbed in the stret and I'm guesing you haven't!"
Amanda: "I think you were right being backing vocals which is what they wanted, the girls were brilliant and Elliot was great..."
Simon's quite patronising in his critique. "I can't say anything bad about the two girls in front, they're so sweet. Yeah, the two at he back are something different... Well you're not gonna win! Elliot it was the wrong song for you, but you've all had a nice day out haven't you? Ouch!
Me, didn't like it. I agree with Simon that it was the wrong song and the family should have taken the judges advice on board and let Elliot sing on his own. He could have been a contender.
Would you drop your dream if it meant you children could have theirs? I wouldn't cling on to it and let their chance slip by that's for sure.
Luke Clements
Part time juggler, carpenter and teepee maker Luke is going to try and chuck watermelons up in the air to make it to the final. No, you heard me right... ![]() Simon asked him to move it on from apples and try melons in the semi-finals. He gave them melons and fire juggling but Simon still buzzed! They all buzz and the judges agree that Luke's gone from being unique to a run of the mill juggler. Amanda says, "Juggling fire is what we see at every single audition!"
Luke is visibly put out, "I've performed my show across the country and they enjoy it - I'll stay as I am and I was happy with that, thank you very much."
Hollie Steel (Part 1) Bless little Hollie - She started singing Eidelweiss and then burst out crying through nerves. She was doing so well, but I think she felt she messed up or missed a note. She's literaly inconsolable and Amanda walks to the stage... She calls for her mummy and mum arrives to comfort her at the front of the stage.
...We see mum plead with the judges to let her do it again, but Ant tries to explain that that they don't have turn - With this news she's almost hysterical.
Simon jumps in and says, "I don't know how we'll do it, we'll speed this along and find the time somewhere Hollie." Take a step back people - What Simon Cowell says goes!
Simon adds, "Regardless of what happens Hollie, when you were on it, you were brilliant! Eerybody gets nerves..." Hollie starts to settle herself as Ant says there'll be a commercial break and then they'll let her do it again. I know it wasn't on purpose, but I'm sure people will be clambering for the phone after that.
...When she called for her mum I was nearly in floods myself. And bless Amanda Holden for jumping up to support her!
Martin Matcham
Remember Martin with the pushy Mother-In-Law? Simon called him an "average guitar player with an awful guitar!" Do you get the feeling Simon's gonna make this short so there's time for Hollie? He performs Addicted To Love and even has Robert Palmer style saucy dancers (you know the red lips and black bodytards). I was pleasantly surprised to be honest, even Simon didn't buzz till the last few bars!
![]() Piers: "I can tell that this is the best thing you've ever done and the biggest chance you've had... I love the backing band, loved the suit and loved the guitar, I loved all of it!"
Amanda: "I think ther's a bit of sex appeal coming in..."
Simon: "Loved the band, didn't like your voice and hated the guitar solo. I don't think you need to plan what you're playing tomorrow." That's gotta hurt... Watch out for the Mother-In-Law Simon!
Aidan Davis
One word, COOL! How amazing was that screen effect? I have to admit I was watching that more than the dancing though, it was amazing but distracting. ![]()
Amanda: "I thought your couldn't top your audition, but you just blew the roof off!" Simon: You're twelve years old and I don't know what it is, but you have it! Total confidence, great face, great charisma and a great routine. I will be totally surprised if we dont see you tomorrow." Aiden is overwhelmed and says, "I didn't think I would be better than my first audition, but the comments... (He beams) - Such a humble boy with a great talent. Dare I say that the screen trick reminded me of George Sampson's performance yesterday... (God, Im gonna get it now aren't I?) Hollie Steel (Part 2)
She bursts into tears when the audience stand and applaud. Amanda and Piers both agree that they could never have got back up there. Amanda says she'll amazed if Hollie's not in the final! Bless her, she gave it her best and I have to agree, I think she'll make the final. I mean if her perfomance didn't pull at your heartstrings you're dead inside!
Simon: "It's a bit old school... It's not as current as some of the stuff out there. I do think that this group has the best chance (out of those we've seen in the last few days) of making it to the final. I don't think it was as good as Diversity or Flawless though, that's the problem". Greg Pritchard
Instead of the genuine performance he gave in the auditions, he performed as two artists. He wore a huge cape and sang Barcelona, one line in a low voice and one high??? I'm all for something different, but this was just plain weird! And did I mention that the cape grew as he sang? - I don't understand his motivation and it's a shame because his vocals were good. Has the world gone mad? It was like a male and female singer in one body and I just felt it made a mockery of his talent. I wanted to really hear him belt it out and close the show with a bang. Why didn't he raise the roof like before? Piers thought it was weird and wonderful, he loved it. "Totally amazing, very unique and very Britain's Got Talent!" Amanda thought it was amazing in places, though she admitted it was shaky and his timing was off. Simon said "At one point I thought I was in a horror movie, when you did the two voices with the stupid cape (that's too big for you)... I started to question what this show's all about, I still don't know if it was good or bad. The last five seconds were very good... But I still can't get over what you were wearing!" THE RESULTS: Paul Potts performs and the crowd are hypnotised. His voice is still amazing and he's captivating, but I can't help being distracted by his Cowellesque square hair. The final bars remind me of why this guy won -Amazing! Paul describes singing for the Queen as "nervewracking but a great honour." Will one of tonight's semi-finalist be 'the one'? Through to the Judges Choice are: Do you really think after all Hollie's been through, they're gonna dump her? I don't... I don't think it would have mattered who was in the Judges Choice with her... and Greg knew it too. Piers says, "You were great but this little girl did such a courageous thing. To get back up there, I have to go with my heart and Hollie!" Amanda: "Greg you were great but it wasn't just that she came back... She gave the best performance vocally."
Hollie is through and bursts into tears. Simon makes her smile by saying, "You got three yeses. See you tomorrow!"
So here's the big question...

You know I'm Diversity all the way, but I really enjoyed Aiden's performance tonight - It was original and sincere. Im looking forward to seeing what he comes up with for tomorrow... Amanda has also warned that her 'final outfit' is killer, so I'm looking forward to that too. I'm off to find a frock for tomorrow myself, but don't go too far away will you? I want to hear your opinion tomorrow after each and every performance. See you for one of the best shows (and Live Blogs) ever!
