Britains Got Talent Auditions 2010 Episode 2

Britain’s Got Talent auditions 2010 episode 2 aired on the 24th of April 2010. This week’s auditions were split across Manchester and then some more from London. For the London auditions Simon had actually made a bit of an effort in the fashion stakes with a white shirt, dark tie and suit jacket. The Manchester auditions took place in the Manchester Opera House. Amanda Holden wore a dazzling red dress this week to open the show. Then she changed to a black and white dress which was off the shoulder. A little different compared to Britain’s Got Talent 2010 Episode 1.

Christine Wilkes, 51 from Leeds was first up with her ‘triple threat’ offering of talent. She wore a horrible blue sparkly top and gold sparkly trousers and a silly little hat. Simon was getting a bit annoyed at the start as she was arguing about where she’d be in 7 years as oppose to 5 then she’s off talking about platinum albums she’s going to have. We know that’s always a recipe for disaster. She started singing along to Billie Jean by Michael Jackson and it was awful. She couldn’t sing or dance and the castanets were terrible. Piers said he hasn’t seen moon-walking that slow since Neil Armstrong. Simon said she looked like Michael Jackson’s glove. The crowd were jeering for her to get off. Unsurprisingly she got a no. then she started asking to sing another song.

Sinead Caroll decided it would be fun to play the guitar while on a pogo stick. It wasn’t. She couldn’t really play the guitar which was just the start of her problems. The judges buzzed her right away. Simon Cowell simply said it was stupid.

James Aitchenson. The singing body builder who did weights and then sang a song. He wasn’t too bad but the whole thing was a bit cheesy. The judges were were making fun of him saying he should have brought out bigger weights so he could have lived up to the claim of being a singing body builder. He made the valid point that if he brought out bigger weights he’d be out of breath and wouldn’t be able to sing. He didn’t get through.

Tia Brodie was 33 and started off her Britain’s Got Talent 2010 audition by taking off her top and then claimed to be a singer who could perform with fire. She sang a Kasabian song and did lots of tricks with fire on a stick over her legs. Piers and Simon put her through probably because she took off her top. Amanda said no of course.

47 year old Stevie Starr who is known as a regurgatator if that’s the correct spelling. Ant was doing the voice over saying that you shouldn’t do this at home as it could lead to serious injury or death! He started off with 5 coins and said he was going to swallow them . You could actually hear the coins clinking in his stomach as they went down and hit the bottom of his tummy. He got the crowd to shout out numbers and he spat out the correct coin with the numbers on it. Then he did it again with two coins. He made a joke that the last coin had gone down too far so he swallowed a billiard ball to get the coin to come back up. Then the coin appeared followed by the billiard ball. It was quite strange but impressive none the less He said that he learned his trick from living in a children’s home when he grew up. He used this technique to hide his pocket money! He got three yes votes and like it or not we’ll be seeing more of Stevie Starr. Who knows what he’ll swallow next?

We then switched back to London for more dog auditions from there. First up was Melissa Serpico and Laika who was a guitar playing dog. Well, that was Mellisa’s claim. Melissa used to be a full time busker and the dog came out wearing an orange backpack. Simon stopped the audition as Melissa just started singing and the dog sat down not paying attention. She then eventually convinced the dog to lift its paw on to the guitar. The dog strumming the guitar was so pathetic that Simon spat right across the room from laughing. It was embarrassing. Simon Cowell had a total fit of the giggles the dog just wasn’t interested.

Star was a pig who apparently does a few tricks. Liz Dore was the owner but the whole audition was a bit of a disaster. Star seemed really shy and just walked off the stage I think the pig was supposed to walk in between some cones but it wasn’t interested.

Neil Riseborough who thought it would be a good idea to show everyone his snails racing. Wrong! They just sat there and didn’t do anything. Someone shouted out that’s its boring and Neil was booed off the stage. It looked like the Ant and Dec snails were mounting each other which was the best part of the audition. I did find this story about Neil’s history in this ‘sport’ though.

Louise Sinclair and Ali the horse were up next. The horse was massive. Simon made a joke about it being a boy. Louise was doing gymnastics on top of the horse which was pretty cool. She’s obviously an accomplished gymnast but the whole thing didn’t work. The horse pooped on the stage I guess it got stage fright. Louise didn’t get through. Ant said he’s been close to pooing on the show a few times too but he’s always made it to the toilet on time.

The Arrangement were some posh kids with classical music training and yeah were a bit dull and posh. Simon buzzed them right away. The singer was pretty terrible and started singing Good Night by the Black Eyed Peas. I don’t think they were being serious surely not? Then he started singing a Beyonce song. It was funny for all the wrong reasons. Then into Poker Face by Lady Gaga the crowd seemed to love it. I thought it was awful to be honest it didn’t do anything for me. Amanda Holden said it was ‘Genius’. Simon said it was like they were performing at the school ball except someone said spiked their drink. He was trying to sing pop songs in a classical fashion which didn’t work. It sounded like the microphones kept cutting out while he was singing. Amazingly they got 3 yes votes. Piers compared the singer to Boris Johnson.

Next up was some sort of Lady Gaga impersonator called Max Oliver. He did a hilarious interview saying how he felt like Lady Gaga when he dressed up and he wanted to share this love with everyone. Simon buzzed him right away. He kept turning round to show off his thong. Then he started stripping to show off his red bra. The crowd loved it which was just weird. What is happening this year Great Britain? Simon said it was terrible the singing was awful. Amanda and Piers actually put Max through. This whole show just got really stupid! Simon made the point that if he had the real gaga at the royal variety performance last year why do we need an impersonator.

Spellbound were a gymnastics team up next. Amanda asked this little kid what age he was because he had this crazy 6 pack. It turned out he was 18! They did a gymnastics routine on the floor to some dramatic music. It was made all the more spectacular as the floor was really unforgiving if they made a mistake. There were lots of death defying jumps and spins which was cool to see. They got a standing ovation from the crowd and Amanda Holden. Simon said he had never seen anything like that before in his life. They got 3 yes votes and they got through to the next round.

Then we had some pushy parents up who were pushing their son to be a singer. He was an accountant by trade and we were treated to the silly music which of course indicates that this was going to be a funny audition. Christopher Stone turned that whole theory on its head when he opened his mouth and started to sing. He sang a song from West Side Story called Maria. It was a really strong operatic voice. Simon stopped the audition early which Christopher looking pretty worried. Simon said he sang without conviction and had to stop things like the hand wringing in order to be believable. He was by far the best audition of the night and got through to the next round. Hopefully Christopher Stone will pick up a bit of confidence this and take it on to the next stage. I can’t wait to see what’s coming up next on Britain’s Got Talent 2010 episode 3!
