Britains Got Talent 2011

[Rob44]

Just thought I'd give a heads up for a new potential winner for this year.

12-year-old Taylor Fowlis set to wow Britain’s Got Talent 2011 panel - Britain's Got Talent 2011 | Britain's Got Talent 2011

here she is on youtube







very precocious talent. just what they like on BGT

[yorkieacermark2000]

IS she allready signed to some one? Only watched that second video but way the video is done seems like she has a label? Seems okay but i dont want someone singing winning as they should be on x-factor imo. Cant believe she is 12 though, hasnt got the best voice but is good and might have the kids appeaal and the older generation

[Rob44]

i think x factor has a lower age limit - not sure tho? there are a few child singers this time around but so far i've only seen the others sing. this one has a bit of charisma about her as well. i detect a little bit of cockiness though - that doesn't always go down well with the public. anyway tote has her at 5.0, which is low considering she hasn't appeared yet...

[yorkieacermark2000]

Ah X-Factor here is 14 in America its 12, 5.00 isnt value imo i havnt watched any of it so cant say whos good or who isnt. I might have to rewatch some if im going to have a bet on it. X Factor in the uk this year will be rubbish its all about the American one

weirdly there were three much touted (by the press) child singers who apparently received standing ovations and 3 yes's at their auditions who did not feature in the show at all including taylor fowliss in the post above. one rumour going round is that they were axed at the behest of simon cowell to give a free run for ronan park.

anyway i've said in the past that i'd take the internet leader in shows like this as a matter of course so im on michael collins 17.0 3pts ew@ Lads. he has almost twice as many hits as ronan park.

interestingly the romanian body popper razy gorgonea is not too many hits behind MC so i'll be watching his price. he has also been well and truly pimped by the producers with his dance of with the french guy last night. RG has had more air time than any other act!

[Rob44]

1st SF line-up (running not yet known but expect RP to be in the pimpslot).

Bruce Sistaz
Donelda Guy
Girls Roc
Joe Oakley
Paul Gbegbaje
Ronan Parke
Stuart Arnold
Ted & Grace

so RP to qualify in 1st. imo the second place is between JO (trick cyclist) PG (pianist) and DG (dog trainer). since it will be a judges choice it could be anyone?

[footy66]

Have not really been following x factor too much, saw this weekends show though and thought they were all crap, some woman with a howling dog, eye popping man, 2 chavvy rappers, bell ringing oldies. I mean seriously!!!!

Also not sure how the romanian dancer beat the french dancer? That french guy was the most talented in the whole show. The romanian guy just jumped around on his knees (I could do that)

The winner needs to be something spectacular, I don't see any deserved winner in that lot.

I'd give Girls Roc 1 though.

If Two and a Half Men up their game a lot they might have a chance.

Not watching it but here's one market the producers could fiddle and it's over at Stan James right now in-running:

razy gogonea drifted out to 9.0 on betfair so placed 2pts (had to settle for 8.8 for some of it) to win as he is not the internet leader with over 6 mill hits (thats more than twice ronan park the maket leader by a long way). i may try and get him ew as well before tonights sf.

i also took ronan @3.5 before last night's semi - 5pt win @sportingbet. this should give me a guaranteed profit however RP, RG or MC finish, as long as one of them wins!!

i do think the producers will try to remove RG or MC tonight to give RP a clearer run, but hopefully they will both go through
my ideal result would be an MC win overall.

Can someone explain to me what you mean by 2pt 5pt etc I guess 'pt' = point(s) but what are points in betting?

[yorkieacermark2000]

I put £70 on One Bounce @ 5.00 Bet365 they were the best on there tonight, hopefully after finall performance i can lay some off on betfair

[ONEDUNME]

Razy Gogonea? What sort of name is that?

Sounds like something that Komp's taking drugs to get rid of.

points are used rather than cash amounts as a way of showing how sure you are of a selection, normally folk use 10pt maximum where 10 would be a maximum bet, so say youre normal stake is £10, that would be 1pt, with £40 being 4pts,a £100 stake being 10pts ect.

i didn't see the 'new' bounce boys coming into the picture as they were very average at their audition. should have, simon cowell is desperate to have a boy band in his portfolio. in fact he appears to have a history of unhealthy interest in young boy acts (or man-boys - ray whatihisname anyone?)

it's going to depend on running order yorkie, but if they get something decent i think you'll have a nice little profit.
