I am a big fan of American Idol (major portion goes to Simon Cowell).
I thought it is a very good talent-finding show…. until I watched Britain’s Got Talent!
First encounter is caused by (who else) Susan Boyle phenomena (more than 30 millions hit in YouTube!).
I was intrigued to download the whole episode, and was really amazed.
The show is incredible.
Contestants are performing in live large audience, and given 2-3 minutes.
The prize is ‘small’ (GBP 100k), but they will get a lifetime chance to perform in Royal Variety Show (in front of Her Majesty, the Queen).
And it is not only for singer, so we can see comedians, dancers, cheerleaders, acrobat, and other performers that are basically common people.
We will see that audience will fall in love not only with talent, but also the sincerity and the spirit from the contestants.
For instance, in first episode, a stripper performed, got positive response from audience, and went through the next . The interesting thing, the stripper is a fat ‘old’ lady!
Recommended!
The show is not available in StarTV. Need to download.
