Britains Got Talent 2010 Episode 4 Review

Britain’s Got Talent Episode 4 aired on the 8th of May 2010. This week the auditions were from London. I thought we already had a few episodes from there already? Anyway, Ant and Dec start off on a rooftop dressed like little mini Tom Cruises all in black again. Amanda Holden is sporting a lovely blue dress with flower patterned grey jacket. She also has on some blue necklace thing straight from the Little Mermaid.

First up were some crazy guys dressed up like monks with phantom of the opera style masks on. They look like something from the Da Vinci Code. The Chippendoubles was the name of these guys as they came out to some gothic choir music to build the anticipation. Then the upbeat music starts and one guy takes off his robe and is dressed up like Ricky Gervais and does the David Brent dance from The Office. Then its Daniel Craig and David Beckham lookalikes. They do their act while they strip. Gordon Ramsay tears off his shirt to show off a Flash Gordon t shirt and gold leggings. Mr T was quite funny if not a little chunky, he then did some wrestling with Gordon Ramsay. Will Smith singing Men In Black very 1990′s. The last guy took off his robes to show Simon Cowell look a like with You’re So Vain played in the background. Very cheesy, the crowd loved it. I’m not sure what they can do next time. And they didn’t really take off their clothes except David Beckham. I did like Simon Cowell taking off his trousers to show some Britain’s Got Talent boxer shorts. They got through but I wonder what they’ll do next time.

Next up a Tina Turner wannabe Karen Tierney. She said she’s here to see Simons face drop. The barmaid then mimed along to Simply the Best by Tina Turner. She was pretty fat and silly and everyone buzzed her out.

Then we had Elvis and Amy Winehouse lookalikes. They were called A & E. Awful! They just liked dressing up apparently. They were also cousins. They didn’t get through with their terrible singing.

Then a little man walked out with funny black hair. Oh wait it was actually a woman who came to do a mime of Meatloaf. She was dressed like him though. Francis Stevenson then mimed along to Bat Out of Hell. What is the point of this act?

Then after the commercial break Ant was back in a horrible camel coloured cardigan. I really didn’t like it.

Then we had some nutty Samurai swordsman. He claimed this was the most dangerous thing attempted on British TV. Hayashi was an English Lecturer and started off by chopping some cucumbers. Simon buzzed pretty early. Hayashi got ‘Emma’ up from the crowd to make sure he was blindfolded properly. Then he put a cucumber on one of his assistants heads and his mouth. The other helper guided him into place so he could chop the cucumbers up. The assistant who had the cucumbers looked genuinely scared when he was chopping. The last chop looked like it actually hit the helper on the head a little though! It was all a bit dramatic with the crowd watching through their fingers. Hayashi said he’s willing to risk his life for the next round. These guys got through to the next round. Simon said it was the closest he’d seen anyone coming to getting hurt on the show.

Myztikal were another crappy dance group who can’t spell. Or maybe they think by throwing a ‘z’ in their name it’ll make them seem more interesting. I really hate this rubbish. They claim to be bringing something new to the table how many times have we heard this? Too many times! I’d ban all dance groups from Britain’s Got Talent. They came out dressed in black and wore neon coloured ties and shoes. Myztikal. Nice spelling guys. Boring I’ve seen it all before. They through in some singing and rapping to the mix. It was still boring. It was all wasted at the end by one chubby girl murdering Wonderwall by Oasis. Don’t let her sing again! Piers agreed with me and slagged off the Oasis singing. Terrible! Rachel apparently was the star and Simon singled her out for praise. Piers said no because the second part ruined the first. Amanda said yes. It all hangs on Simons vote. Simon gives them a yes and they go through.

Glasgow auditions! Always entertaining. They start with the predictable Proclaimers background music who are actually from Edinburgh. The producers aren’t even trying anymore are they? The auditions were from the SECC. Simon claimed he loved it here and this was his home town. Amanda turned up in a red jacket with darker red top that looked like lingerie.

Craig Stevens and Deborah Stevens were up first and told the story of where they first met at the karaoke. They were pretty confident saying Youtube and the Internet were going to blow up. . Simon apparently talked to them years ago on the phone as they sent in a demo. Simon told them they had more chance of winning the Grand National than getting a record deal. They performed an original song called Lift Me. The name of the act was Othelio. Simon buzzed right away. The singing wasn’t great and then the lady jumped in for the chorus and was also terrible. They both looked really stiff on stage. Then the guy started rapping. It was pretty awful and Simon stopped it. The crowd loved it although I think they were just trying wind up Mr Cowell. Simon said it was one of the worst things he’s ever heard on the show. Piers and Amanda put them through it’s so stupid what is the point of this show anymore when crap like this gets through? The editing was also really bad with the crowd noise being piped in like they were going crazy but you could see in the background everyone was sitting perfectly still and not making a noise.

Zodiac Dance Company from Fife were a dance act unsurprisingly. I hate dance acts I won’t say anymore. They got through though with their tartan and crimped hair does. And fake tan.

Forth Valley Chorus were a group of around 40 women with a really camp guy at the front directing the choir. They sang Sisters Are Doing it for Themselves. Forth Valley Chorus got through to the next round.

Heather Smith and Maddie were a dog act with the usual stuff, standing and dancing. You know the drill. The judges loved it and they got through.

James Boyd from Dunfermline in Fife was up next. He says was on last year eating Ferrero Rocher’s to beat the Guinness world record. He failed and Ant actually beat him behind the stage. James looked like he had some quite bad skin with acne round his nose and forehead. What will he try this year? We shall see! This year he was back with After Eight Mints to beat the world record. The trick was you couldn’t use your hands which made it a little more difficult I guess. Ant did an identical challenge behind the scenes. James made the mistake of not putting 9 out ready to eat before he started he only put 5 down. Once again Ant defeated him behind the scenes. The world record of eating 8 in a minute was equaled by Ant!

Mum of 7, grandmother of 13 and great grand mother of 4 Janey Cutler was on after the break. She was a cheery old lady who laughed her way through the interview and revealed she was 80 years old. Janey Cutler sang No Regrets. She actually had quite a strong voice even if it was a bit warbly but I guess that was the style in her day. The crowd loved it and Janey got a standing ovation. Simon asked her how long she’s been waiting to do this and she replied “I’m just happy to be here”. Nice! Janey got through and stole the show tonight. She was like Susan Boyle’s grandmother as she had the same effect and I’ll look forward to seeing Janey Cutler in the next round.

Come back next week for a review of Britain’s Got Talent 2010 Episode 5!
