  • Grand Final - George Sampson
    George Sampson's Singing In The Rain routine was so popular with the judges and public alike that the 14 year-old school boy has decided to reprise it for the final. The Warrington lad has really caught the imagination of the nation, as much for his determination to succeed as his twinkle-toed dancing. And the verdict tonight? The judges were bursting to tell him!
    I love your confidence George. I love the fact that every time we've ever seen you it's the best performance you've ever done. The thing that I love and everyone loves is that you are a fighter. You've got a great chance".
    Amanda said, "I am so pleased you chose to do that routine again. I didn't know how you could top that routine but you kind of have, this is a life changing moment this show, a big prize I think you are in with a big shot.
    And Simon agreed, "Every time I think we've spotted a winner it changes again. You've got to have a chance of winning the competition after that. Getting it spot on is almost impossible but you did it - good for you!"

    Show 13 (Saturday, 31 May 2008 at 18:50)
    Britain's Got Talent is a British television show on ITV (also on TV3 in Ireland). Presented by Ant & Dec, the talent show premiered on 9 June 2007, and was broadcast daily with a live final on 17 June 2007. It is a search for Britain's next best amateur talent act, featuring singers, dancers, comedians, variety acts, and other talents of all ages. Anyone who believed they have talent was encouraged to audition. The winner of the show received £100,000 and performed at the Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen and members of the Royal Family at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool.
    As Britain's Got Talent returns for its second series, hosts Ant & Dec and judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan once again begin their search for Britain's most talented performer. The second series began on a primetime slot at 19:45 on 12 April and for the remainder of the auditions will continue in this Saturday night slot. Once the semi-finals begin they will be shown daily, like in series one, over one week 26 May - 30 May with the live final on Saturday 31 May.
    Format
    The series made its début soon after the conclusion of its U.S. counterpart, America's Got Talent, and is the creation of The X Factor and Pop Idol/American Idol mastermind Simon Cowell who has created a Got Talent series across the globe. On 12 February 2007 it was announced by ITV the judges would be Cowell, Piers Morgan (who had also judged America's Got Talent), and Amanda Holden (a late replacement for Cheryl Cole[1]). In a similar fashion to The X Factor, the show has an ITV2 counterpart called Britain's Got More Talent, presented by magician and former CITV presenter, Stephen Mulhern.
    The show was originally planned to air much earlier (before America's Got Talent) and be presented by Paul O'Grady. However, after O'Grady's defection to Channel 4 from ITV for The Paul O'Grady Show, O'Grady refused to appear in another ITV show, so the series was put on hold after just one rehearsal show.[2][3]
    The audition process is similar to The Gong Show but with the judges pressing buzzers instead of banging a gong. The buzzers can only be pressed once if the judge has seen enough, and when all three are pressed the act must stop. The auditions also include the added twist of having to perform in front of a studio audience alongside the judges. Once the act finishes or is stopped, judges express their opinions and decide whether they would like to see them in the semi-finals, with acts needing to receive a majority vote to go through. The audience is invited to express their views (often boos or cheers) which may have a positive or negative impact on a judge's decision, should the judge be unsure on whether to put the act through.

    he was just gone 14 when he had auditioned, he danced on the streets of Manchester, he self taught himself to dance, every penny he earned went towards food, petrol, dance classes, bills etc he diserved to win, he has his own movie out, he is in Waterloo road and he now has his own dance studio for those in poverty like he was. at the age of 22 is amazing.

      I wish that they were all singers and dancers, instead of dog acts, card tricksters, and acrobats. Now the trend is to give the winning spot to kids and disabled people. The shows have gone downhill fast. I mean, come on. Jonathan and Charlotte lost to a dog act? And Brian Justin Crum lost to a kid who played the banjo? Please.

    As good as this kid was, Jeremy Lynch deserved to win. They kicked him out during the semi-finals for one slip up. Simon, at that point said, "Dropping the ball in an act like that is like forgetting the words to a song". Now that is bullshit. If Simon knew anything, he would know that freestyle football is 10x harder than singing any fucking song or doing any dance. Jeremy is an absolute legend in freestyle football and Simon is privileged to have even gotten a chance to witness his skills. All of the people who made it to the final are extremely talented, but none of them deserved to win half as much as Jeremy Lynch did. This is a fact.

    • @legitcbtv1888
      @legitcbtv1888 Před 9 lety +3

      Today, Jeremy is one of the most accomplished freestyle footballers in the world. He has worked with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Juan Mata, Di Maria, and other football greats. His F2 Freestyle show was chosen to open for the 2012 FIFA Ballon D'or, where he performed for Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta, Xavi, and all the best players in the world. Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan are absolute fools for eliminating him from their little competition, and they lost ALL credibility with me and anyone who knows talent when they did so.

      Dancing. As good as it is, it's just dancing. Imagine performing a complicated dance while also having to concentrate on juggling a football in exact rhythm with music.. It shouldn't even be a question as to who has more talent. And "beats anything to do with football?" Are you just some un-athletic kid who has something against sports? Like what kind of comment is that?
