BGT - The Champions

[Mi-Amigo]

Britain`s Got Talent is back with Britain`s Got Talent - The Champions, which kicked off on Saturday night.

The series will feature acts from past series of Britain`s Got Talent and its counterparts from other countries.

Each week, two acts will go through to the final - one "Golden Buzzer", chosen by the judges or Ant and Dec; and one chosen by superfans from various countries.

In the first programme, none of the former Britain`s Got Talent acts made it through to the final three.

The act which nabbed Amanda Holden`s Golden Buzzer was Kseniya Simonova – a former winner of Ukraine’s Got Talent, who makes stunning pictures and images using only sand.

The act voted through by the superfans was daredevil duo Bello and Annaliese Nock, who previously had appeared on America’s Got Talent.

I found the programme was an entertaining mix. I loved Kseniya`s stunning images and think she was a worthy winner.

In my opinion, if the talent of the two winning acts is anything to go by, this should be a thoroughably watchable and enjoyable series.

Did anyone else watch it? What did you think?

Not brilliant but a good 'turn'

I could do without the dance groups (one is just about tolerable but not two on the same show) though magicians and illusionists I could watch all day.

There will never ever be a dance group to beat Diversity. That's it. End Of....

No argument here

End of. Another expression which annoys me, though I use it constantly

Thanks @Cleoriff for the list of those in week 3.

Can`t stand that so-called magician Richard Jones [who played for and got public sympathy vote in BGT].

There has only been one good dance act - Diversity [although I did like the Manchester kid who used to busk and danced to Singing In The Rain].

But that said, I`m looking forward to seeing Darcy Oake the Illusionist.

Wasn't Richard Jones the one who was in the Horseguards @Mi-Amigo ?

Yes that`s him and appeared in the final in military gear with Horseguards behind him - playing to the crowd, in my opinion, rather than relying any talent. 

Sorry but his tricks did not impress me as I found them easy to explain. There have been far better magicians than him on BGT in my opinion.

I agree. I found his act a little (well, a lot) nauseous and the horseguard finale was just a stunt to get the sympathy vote going. Expect more of the same on Saturday.
