Britain’s Got Talent review: Matt Edwards get Ant & Dec Golden Buzzer

Tyrone & Mina

Tonight, Britain’s Got Talent on ITV began with getting a chance to see a woman come out and lie to everyone about a dancing dog. Then, some woman decided to present some terrible version of Flashdance. If you’re so cheesy and terrible that David Walliams isn’t into it, you know that there is a problem.

As with every other review, the focus here is good talent as opposed to rubbish. There’s already enough rubbish in the world to focus on it here.

Taptastik – There was a ton of effort that went into the routine; yet, it was also fairly boring to watch beyond the first eight or twelve bars. Here’s a note: Fewer dancers. This is far more interesting with just three or four tappers as opposed to an army out there.

TNG – Really creepy costumes and a good theme, but beyond the intro the rest of this felt like a rather generic dance routine. Moving forward, establishing a greater sense of story could be huge to their long-term viability.

Tyrone & Mina – Wonderfully terrifying, and one of the best knife-throwing acts out there alongside Deadly Games from America’s Got Talent last season. Consider this a further reminder that great knife-throwing is about showmanship just as much as the craft. These two have both.

Jamie Lee Harrison – A very good singer. The arc of him getting onto the stage was somewhat predictable, but he won us over easily with the power of his voice and his rendition of “Everybody Hurts” over the course of the episode.

Angelicus – Beautiful choir, stunning voices, and an incredible audition. The main appeal here was that they did something different and brought a little opera to the proceedings. There are many familiar choirs on this show, but few had the talent or the range of this group.

Matt Edwards – Ant and Dec have used their golden buzzer! It feels appropriate here, given that as far as both a magic act and a pure entertainer, this brought almost everything any viewer of the show could want and then some. There were laughs, but there were also some stunning effects.
