‘Britain’s Got Talent’: Joseph Hall, James More, Alice Fredenham wild-card favorites
It has already been confirmed that the wild card act has been chosen for the upcoming “Britain’s Got Talent” finale. But who is it? That is something that producers are keeping an extremely tight lid on for the time being. While they have dozens of people to choose from, the reality here is that there are only a handful of people that are probably worthy of coming back for more.
With this in mind, we’ve done our best to personally rank the top five contenders based on a number of factors, from overall quality to fan following to even whether or not the act brings something different to the show that we have not already seen.
5. Aliki – A great opera singer with a powerful voice. Aliki’s major issue is that producers already have a ton of singers, and an opera duo in Richard & Adam. They really do not need another.
4. Rosie O’Sullivan – Rosie is a little more distinct vocally, but we do not really see her as someone with the personality needed in order to be a star.
3. Alice Fredenham – Easily, the contest’s best singer that is not in the finale. She has a great voice, a distinct look and story, and it was honestly a surprise to see her not make it as a result of a mistake in her performance.
2. Joseph Hall – Had he not been up against the dreaded foes that are kid dancers (in Pre Skool), he would be there already. There is no doubt that Joseph is a born dancer and entertainer, but is there anything else that we can see that we haven’t already in some variety?
1. James More – If you remember that this is a variety show first and foremost, then you know that producers want variety. They also want someone who is very good. James fits that criteria well, and while he probably would not win, he has a better chance than most given that the singers / dancers could cancel each other out. He also probably has another great trick in his arsenal that he can pull out quickly.

If Alice Fredenham receives the wildcard I will just give up. I hate to say it, but despite having a great voice, she is NO DIFFERENT from the other SIX singing acts we already have in the final. Nothing about her helps her stand out. Normally, I would be against dancers getting the wildcard as well, but with Pre Skool as the only dance act in the final, I would be pleased to see Joseph Hall get it, although I think Steve Hewlett deserves it more than anyone else. I just don’t want to see anymore singers in the final. Luminites are the only singing act that I see as potential winners. The rest haven’t a hope in hell, in my opinion. ESPECIALLY Jordan O’Keefe, a.k.a. the most uninteresting, bland BGT finalist I have ever known. The only reason he got through is his good looks. It’s obvious.

Check out Alice singing Beyonce’s Crazy in Love on youtube accompanied by just an acoustic guitar. Sweeet!

The greatest injustice is that Alex Keirl is not even being considered. Alice Fredenham the best singer not to make the final? Absolute tosh. View the videos on You Tube. Alex has one of the best voices of his generation. At the time even the judges agreed. What happened? It’s possible he finished second in the toughest semi final of the five. He fully deserves his place but I fear he wont get it.

Alice Fredenham should be the wild card in the final. She has everything, voice, musicality and star quality. She will overcome her nerves – she will have an enormous amount of help with this – and there is no doubt that she is a star in waiting.

I support Alice Fredenham for the Wild Card. I think she may have felt the rug pulled out from under her confidence with The Voice, but she’ll bounce back!! The judges really liked her, and will encourage her.

I support Alice Fredenham because she has the outstanding talent of a generation.
However she is lovingly fragile. Iam not sure she could stand the pressure. In any case the winner is a certainty Attraction! the runners up one of the lovely little black girls. Anyone older than 14 stands no chance.
Were I alice i would turn down the wild card!

Umm Steve Hewlett? Not even in your top 5? Worthless article.
