Something about BGT no comments
The second episode in the new series of Britain’s Got Talent is on today, and I must admit, I’m quite looking forward to it.
Every week, there’s something about it. I don’t know what it is — I’m not normally into these singing shows, and I’m not sold on X Factor — but there is a charm, and something slightly funnier about BGT than the others.
Perhaps it’s acts like this amazing dog, which was on last week. When it first came on, I was worried that the act would be ludicrous, but it was hilarous, and actually very well done.
And equally, acts like this one are wonderful and truly remarkable.
Sometimes people just come along and blow you away, and you had no idea that something could blow you away. Last year, there was a fantastic saxophone player who moved one of the judges to tears with his music — and that dancer last week made the hairs on my neck stand up.
There’s certainly something about it. I have no idea who or what will be performing this week, but it is almsot guaranteed to be entertaining.
Perhaps that’s what’s so good about it: it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Yes, ultimately, the winner must perform in front of the Queen, so of course there can’t be anyone too whacky going through. But it is fun, and it is entertaining, and some TV shows lose sight of that these days, I think.
