Where's The Talent In Britain's Got Talent?

Stavros Flatley How did some of the semi finalists actually get into last night's Britain's Got Talent semi final? Flower arranging? Blokes with wheelbarrows, a couple of second rate ballroom dancers? And a bloke pretending he was playing a saxaphone that didn't even sound like a saxaphone?

Nope, this isn't Britain's best talent. It's manipulation to get certain contestants through to the final for monetary reasons.

Last night a fat bloke and his son dancing were the winners, some say surprise winners. But at least they were fun and were enjoying themselves. Stavros Flatley, as they are called, won't probably have a long career, they are just a novelty act.

Favourite to win, 12 year old Shaheen Jafargholi , also got through to the final but he is being hyped to the rafters by the judges. He's got potential but last night he performed the wrong song. Maybe he'll do better in the final when the other no hopers have gone.

So the latest two finalists are: Stavros Flatley and Shaheen Jafargholi.

It's just a pity that money is leading Britain's Got Talent by the nose, steered by Simon Cowell and his mates of course. But that's what these type of shows are unfortunately all about. The viewers are being treated as mugs.
