I didn’t see it last night, but last week we had a magician tugging at heart strings and if this tugging continues I shall abandon the show altogether, as I have the X-Factor for the same reason. I detest anything designed specifically to generate support by tugging at the heart strings - Children in Need, etc., included. I don’t want to watch people crying - I want to be entertained.
Mamy...no i am not.
I just feel that people with cerebral disorders as i have described, should not be eligible.
We have had many threads on AB criticising comedians who make jokes about the disabled, indicating that it is bad taste. I feel that in this case, for me, it was uncomfortable.......like a performing bear.

I agree with Sqad. He wasn't at all funny in my opinion, just uncomfortable viewing. Certainly not, as stated by one judge, the funniest comedian they have ever had on the show. Same as the bumble bee dancers. Good on the little girl, but got the sympathy vote. Now the Vietnamese brothers were fantastic . They should have got the golden buzzer.
I don't often agree with Naomi, but I also don't wish to be made to feel emotional in the way that mass-appeal shows like this do.
If I wanted back stories, I am sure the media will produce them, for a long back story to accompany one act is an unfair advantage, people are voting for the tragedy affecting one member, not the talent of the troupe as a whole, which is unfair to both, and to everyone else on the show.
I am going to have to stop watching this show - David Walliams' creepy on-going campathon is really getting on my wick.
It's only the stratospheric beauty of Alisha Dixon that keeps me viewing at all!

hereIam - // A great show. I loved the singing Priest and hoped he would get the golden buzzer. I agree with Sqad about the 'comedian'. //
The priest falls into that odd category of 'entertainment' that the industry has cottoned onto in recent years.
A similar thing is the 'Military Wives' choir - the notion that somehow a group of women whose only tangible link to each other is being married to a serving military man, will make a choir good enough to sell CD's is seriously tenuous, but it works for the people who like that kind of thing.
Closer to this example is 'The Priests' - again the notion that men who do the same job will make a good choir is actually nonsensical when you think about it.
With regards to a singing priest, I am minded of Doctor Johnson's witty observation - "This is akin to a dog walking on its hind legs It is not that it is not done well, rather that one is surprised to see it done at all."
