To be honest the Opera guy is okay by opera standards, quite a few rough edges that need tidying up. A standing ovation was a bit much in my opinion.

The monkey boy, well, it was a puppet? Its hardly Avenue Q.

The dancing troupe were just another dance troupe really? Ive seen better at the fringe.

I really dont see what all the fuss is about, the Opera guy is head and shoulders above the other two but even he isnt top notch. I imagine that on a show like this the majority of contestants must be so bad that when things like this come along they look rather good by comparison.

All but the monkey guy had a good back story. The opera guy is a typical bloke, sh*t job, over weight etc, and the dance troup are a group of kids who come from poor backgrounds. All have a bit of talent but it makes great TV, my GF was sobbing her eyes out at the opera guy!

That opera guys was awesome, bit too good for a show like that. I reckon he must have a fair few performances under his belt - you dont learn to sing opera like that with a hairbrush in fron tof the mirror.
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

A lot of the acts are not amateur, this is that last make or break chance for a lot of them, the ones not spotted by talent scouts etc, i can see even a few of the losers getting picked up to go pro after this show has finished.

And i agree, i didnt expect such amazing opera singing from the mobile guy :D wish i could sing like that

Opera singer, good, as has been noted though just a little rough and needs polishing. Has most potential of becoming a top star as things tend to be easier for singers.

Monkey, needs more material and TBH the bloke its stuck with wasnt up to its standards, it should ditch him and do off with someone who has more talent. Ive heard its already rejected an offer by Paris Hilton as it doesnt want to be seen out with a jail bird.

Dance group, high initial impact but how can you sustain something like that? Really their best bet could be a TV series like Fame - if they can sing too.

Bet thats an awesome number to pull out down the boozer after a few sherberts  :mrgreen:

Also comedy to see Amanda Holden getting slightly moist watching it  :twisted:

Not to put anything against the opera guy as he has a fantastic voice but I thought the point of the show was to find unknown public and give them a chance?

It sounds like his career was doing quite well for a singer on his own merit....

I thought I had seen him somewhere before but assumed that it was just someone who looked similar.

Black guy sounds like a semi pro, hes obviously been doing it for some time. Definitely has potential.

The girls very nice performance but its something that blokes in drag seem to do well at anyway. A definite club act but, as with all acts, anything else depends on them being lucky.

Conny. Julie Garland eat your heart out. My pc/headphones plus the recording isnt up to her voice standard at all. I go with Simon Cowel saying she was pitch perfect. Someone put her in a good film to show off what she can do. Really you expect kids to do OK but usually bomb out, this one nailed Simon and the rest of them to the wall.

Im just wondering if all girls remove their unwanted pubic hair with an angle grinder nowadays? :shock:

How is that supposed to be some kind of act or talent? Its hardly new or "unique" as they say either, I have seen it done many times before in all sorts of acts and shows.

Another version of the Connie video, not as sharp but it also lacks the resonance in the earlier one. TBVH I doubt if either does her voice true justice.
