Aww what? I love Britain's Got Talent. OK, so it's one of those naff reality shows, but it's kind of genuine too. Yeah there are people with boobs and legs and hair and whatever, but there's also real talent there. I can't stand the embarrassing bits when people don't know what they sound like, but when it's someone who has a skill, it's such a good feeling. I don't watch any of those other shows, apart from Strictly Come Dancing if that counts?
I've nothing against talent shows as such, it's the stupidity of the momentary mega-fame that awaits winners (in days gone by you'd see the winners again maybe if they were really talented and managed to make it stick) and the copy and paste over-emotional comments about what a journey the contestants have been on.
I completely get your point. But I think BGT is a bit different here because these people who get to the end, well, they *are* talented, and they have a skill that can entertain. They're audience is slightly different to the one-download audience of X Factor or ... er... another type of show like that. Paul Potts is still going strong and while George Sampson didn't really succeed with his record deal, he wasn't a singer; he was a dancer, so that kind of figured.
"Momentary Mega Fame".... nice phrase.
Not all of them have over emotional stories, but I did get wound up in one where this guys sister had died and left her two young children. It was a sad story, and he was talented, but he was a liar and a cheat because he already had a record deal, and a flaming website. But, like I said, agree. That's why I don't watch any other shows ;P

This is a surprise?
Sorry, never needed to watch more than a few seconds to feel that way.
