Britains Got Talent 2010

Britains Got Talent 2010 Semi Final 1

The first Semi Final of Britain’s Got Talent 2010 aired on Monday the 31st of May with two contestants going through. Ant went back to his old hair style I guess the comb over wasn’t working for him. He did make a joke about his big head halfway through the show which made me wonder if the comb over was supposed to hide it? Anyway, Amanda Holden was wearing a black one shouldered sequined mermaid dress with some sparkly glitter on it.

First up was Threebee who I couldn’t really remember from the auditions. They were a Bollywood dance group and went off with the advice that they should try to mix in some contemporary music along with the Bollywood stuff by Simon Cowell. Anyway they were bright enough in the red and blue outfits. They mixed up the Bollywood music with some Missy Elliot and the Bee Gees Staying Alive. One of them had a bit of a belly which made the jiggling quite hypnotic during the dance. Amanda complimented the Bucks Fizz moment when they whipped off their skirts.

Olivia Archbold was on next. I always think she looks like Amanda Seyfriend except with much bigger lips. Speaking of lips, did anyone notice that Amanda Holden’s were looking a bit weird tonight? It was like one side was collapsing maybe this is a side effect of collagen? Back to Olivia Archbold. She sang that song Kate Winslet did a few years ago called What If. I didn’t think she was too great but for a 14 year old under that pressure you have to give her some credit.

Kevin Cruise! What a guy. His face was golden tonight. His opening footage showed him being Kevin on the streets of Britain. It also showed him doing his laundry for some reason. Seeing him in this context makes him look like a character from Little Britain. His performance started with him coming out on the Fishy Rose boat singing an Abba medley. From there he went into some rap followed by Agadoo. He did a little strip tease through it too but couldn’t get his trousers off. When he did his shorts or hot pants had ridden up a bit high so he had to pull them down to avoid giving the UK an eyeful. Piers said he was magnificent. Simon buzzed Kevin Cruise before he could finish.

Stevie Starr was on next and started off by swallowing a light bulb. He then borrowed Amanda Holden’s engagement ring much to her horror and swallowed it down. He gave her a small pad lock and key and told her to lock it. He swallowed them both. Then he regurgitated them back up with the padlock, locked around the ring. Pretty amazing stuff. I have no idea how he did it. He did a nice little extra with the finish scene with Ant and Dec by swallowing his mobile phone and bring it back up to get some votes.

Tobias Mead came on wearing a black leather jacket, black trousers with red stripes and Osiris trainers. He took his jacket off midway through to reveal a gray t shirt with a Union Jack on the back. His performance centered around a floating ball which he pretended to control as he danced around to The Prodigy. It was some crazy remix of the song though to fit in with his moves. Everyone loved it including the judges.

Sean Sheehan, how did he get through again? He came out dressed like an old knight and chopped wood while he sang a song about chopping wood. He called himself the king of kindle cutting. Only Piers didn’t buzz him out which was surprising as he wasn’t even that great at cutting the wood tonight.

Josh Barry came on singing Closer by Ne-Yo. For me he was the weakest act of night, well besides Sean Sheehan who I’m not even going to count. Josh Barry vocals were pretty poor and seemed to spend more time talking about his Union Jack boxer shorts than anything else. He had lots of dancers around him dressed up in Bra’s and not much else.

Spellbound were amazing. The only time I’ve seen anything like this was at Cirque De Soleil and these guys were just as good. It was a fire theme with the guys all dressed in red with red hair and flames on their chests. They were the best of the night for me with the acrobatic routine, it was excellent.

Diversity came on to treat us to one of their routines which seems to consist of throwing the little kid who looks like Mel B around the stage. What will they do when it (I’m not sure if it’s a he or a she) grows up? Sorry I know lots of you out there love them I just don’t get it. It does absolutely nothing for me and I found myself fast forwarding some of it.

Unsurprisingly Spellbound one the public vote. They were the best on the night by far. The judges vote came down to Oliva Archbold and Tobias Mead. Tobias Mead got the nod and he joins Spellbound in the final.

Did anyone have any trouble voting for Kevin Cruise? I’ve noticed a few visitors on the site because they couldn’t get through to vote for Kevin Cruise.

Anyway Britain’s Got Talent 2010 Semi Final 2 is on Tuesday 1st of June and I can’t wait.
