Britain's Got Talent and The End of BEDA

Of  course this evening I was watching Britain's Got Talent again and at one point I thought Amanda had turned into Simon Cowell! She stopped a man singing/playing guitar just as he had started his audition and asked if he had another song that people might know. Bit mean... but he got through anyway! But really I don't think it matters too much whether we know the song well or not, because it is a judge of talent, not a judge of the song choice. Although, I suppose the song choice does help! 

A list of some of my favourites... and some weird ones too (click the names for YouTube links):
  • Olivia Binfield - I would have been pooping my pants if I was her on stage with a MASSIVE snake round my neck! It was practically stangling her. Towards the end Ant and Dec were getting a bit panicky!
  • Ronan Parke- So cute, and so good! Such a great voice and he was so cute getting all emotional when they were actually judging him. 
  • Anthony Wait - He was ABSOLUTELY pants!! Literally! I didn't get it at all, and I'm just glad that the audition got stopped at the point it did... I could have been scarred for life!
  • Tracey Moran - Definatley not the best audition but it was sooo funny! I could not stop laughing at her ridiculous dancing! So in that respect - it was a god audition! 
  • Out of the Blue - This group was quite interesting actually, at first I wasn't sure but I did end up liking it because I'd never really heard anything exactly like that before!
The End of BEDA
After I post this, I will have officially completed BEDA! Yaaay! At first I really wasn't sure exactly how long I would last as I couldn't imagine finding the inspiration for a blog everyday... but I managed it!

I got pretty stuck by about the 20th and on most evenings since then I asked whoever I was talking to on Facebook (mostly Dan, Tim and maybe Maddy... I can't remember) what I should blog about! They obviously said things like 'how much you love me' etc... the usual, which I didn't write about - I appologise! I did manage to think of a subject to write about in the end though, and I didn't have to resort to writing about how much I love my friends! Because it is already obvious that I do love them, otherwise I wouldn't call them my friends.

I have written about some of them in previous blogs anyway, but the blogs would have been more intesting that writing about how much I love them :) 

Anyway - BEDA = complete! And I really enjoyed it too, so thanks to who ever wrote/vlogged about it which made me do it too!

Another GREAT Day!

Today turned out to be another great day! It started off with a nice pain au chocolate and a drink in a cafe with a friend, Moritz, who had come over from Germany for a little holiday! It was lovely, the breakfast was lovely, we had a really nice chat and then after we went to the beach and sat and played games involving throwing stones at rock towers! It sounds a bit stupid, but the simple things are sometimes the best!

After I saw Moritz I went home and it was just really nice sitting at the patio table in the sun! I even did some of my biology poster too! At least I could be outside and still do it. It was such a lovely day I wasn't going to waste it inside! 

After a while Zoe and he friend, Beth, came home and we sat in the garden just chatting about random things, such as Beth having a cod eye! ;)

And then this evening there was of course Britain's Got Talent, which I watched along with a nice bowl of popcorn and hot chocolate BUT Zoe and Beth came in my room to get the airbed and Zoe was chucking cushions at the back of my head, so I ignored her! Then... she goes and throws a quilt at me which goes over my head and into my bowl of popcorn, which STILL had stuff in! This obviously caused my popcorn to fly in various direction over the room... :( she said 'I knew that's what would happen, that's why I did it!' - Oe!! You meany... what a bitch ;) only joking... love you really! It is quite funny thinking about it now! 

Anyway, this is a list of a few of my favourites from Britain's Got Talent (click the names for links to YouTube):
  • Ted and Grace - So cute, the girl was a good singer too but the Grandad just made me laugh, he was adorable! 
  • Les Gibson, who impersonated Ant and Dec - So funny because his Dec impression was soooo gay! Doesn't beat Paul Burling from last year though though!
  • Pip and her little dog! - This one, aww!! The woman was such a good singer. At first I thought the dog would dance but then it started singing along too, which was soooooo cute! Loved it! 
  • Edward Reid - I just thought that it was so original and I loved it! At first I didn't realise he was singing nursery rhymes. It did take me a minute to realise. Very clever!
  • The matrix bodypoping dude - if you watched it then you know the one I'm on about! The Romanian guy! He was so original and he was basically crying at the end so I could see how much it meant to him! Bless!

Britain's Got Talent

This evening was the return of Britain's Got Talent. However, this year instead of Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan, we have David Hassellhoff and Michael McIntyre, which proved to be quite a nice change, as both of them are hilarious. And Amanda, of course was lovely as always, doing her classic over-the-head seal clapping, which I always find amusing.

I read Closer magazine the other day that Michael was a little reluctant to use his buzzer, as he felt bad and Amanda has had to tell him to 'grow a pair', or something along those lines. When watching the show tonight I did find it amusing watching Michael's face as I could tell he was absolutely dying to press his buzzer, and he even kept retracting his hands. At one point there was a man who had painted himself gold, I can't remember what he was doing but Michael was first to buzz! The gold man stood up and stormed off stage and didn't even talk to Ant and Dec. David and Amanda obviously joked with Michael about it.

This show never fails to amuse me, there was some real talent this evening, and some things were just... weird, or just rubbish. But what would Britain's Got Talent be without all of the deluded nutters that appear on there. It would be... rubbish! The auditions are usually my favourite bits, as I actually enjoy watching all of the nutty people, they're my favourite! It's what Britain is all about! 

Anyway, here is a list of some of the weird, the wonderful and the complete rubbish:
  • Harmonica woman - She was the first act of the show, and of course she was completely mental (in the nicest possible way). She was convinced that Amanda was Joanna Lumley, so Michael joked that he was Simon Cowell, which was really funny. I wasn't sure whether she put it on or not. I found a link on YouTube actually, go watch here, it's hilarious!
  • The Woman and her 2 dogs - Wow, they were amazing!! So cute! The dogs were pretty much in sync with each other the whole way through, which was really surprising as I can imagine it's hard to get them to do that! Anyway, I love them.
  • David Knight, the 9 year old comedian - He was... adorable! He was so natural on stage, just charming the audience. Bless him. He was asked who makes him laugh on TV, he replied 'Harry Hill...' and there was Michael pointing at himself and shouting 'hey, I'm judging you' and when he didn't hear his name he pressed his buzzer! That bit just made me laugh!! 
  • Blair, the dolphin man - Rubbish, but made me giggle. 
  • Hula hoop woman - Watching her facial expressions was funny any enough for me, although... that wasn't meant to be the act. 
  • Steven Hall - Probably one of my favourites! Yes, he was rubbish... but in a good way. He was rubbish in a way that made me laugh! This is one is self explanatory so just click here for a YouTube link. I highly doubt that he will make it very far, but I thank him for making me laugh, he was hilarious!
  • Michael Collings - He is a perfect example about why we shouldn't judge people before we actual know them, or what they do. I don't think many people had high hopes for him, including the judges, who were making jokes about his clothes. But he really was talented! Again, click here for a link to YouTube if you want to see. 
  • Antonio Popeye - He isn't called Popeye for nothing! His 'talent' of popping his eyes out a bit had me completely speechless at first and then after seeing it a few times, made me feel a bit sick. Unique talent though!
