We have to be honest: We love ballroom dancers, but we’ve never been huge fans of them on these “Got Talent” shows, whether it be in America or in Britain. They are always impressive and make it through to the next round, but you know that the have about a 0.001% shot of actually winning. […]
Britain's Got Talent, The Voice UK
In the ongoing ratings battle between “Britain’s Got Talent” and “The Voice” UK, what we are really learning at this point is that later really is better, at least when it comes to when the shows air on the schedule. It’s almost ironic in a way that the BBC One singing competition drew its lowest […]
“Britain’s Got Talent’s” third episode of the season was in our mind the best of the entire year. Not only was there some great judges’ banter, David Walliams being David Walliams, and some bad acts that were genuinely entertaining, but we also had some of our best performances of the entire season thus far. Do […]
There are many reasons to appreciate a show like “Britain’s Got Talent,” but one of the reasons why this series in particular stands out from the variety-competition mold is simple: It has David Walliams on it. We’re pretty convinced that the man is an evil genius, and he only has two real goals in being […]
Last week on “Britain’s Got Talent,” we had a season premiere that was really stuffed full of entertainment. While not every act that we saw was the quality needed in order to win the show, we did at least have a few acts (whether it be a shadow puppet theater or a young girl with […]
After what was an entertaining and highly-rated premiere of “Britain’s Got Talent” last weekend, Saturday’s show is looking to be bringing some more craziness to all of the UK; and based on the new sneak peek that we have below for the show, it appears as though it is going to deliver in spades. We […]
The ratings are in, and the newest season of “Britain’s Got Talent” seems to be quite a winner for ITV. How much so? Let’s just say that the premiere for the Simon Cowell-produced juggernaut managed to completely bulldoze another singing competition in its path on Saturday night. Overall, Cowell’s series got off to its best […]
We’ll be honest: going into the “Britain’s Got Talent” premiere on Saturday, we were genuinely worried. Like with the American version of the show, there is only so much genuine talent out there in the country, and there is not enough time between seasons for it to fully revitalize itself. This is exacerbated even more […]
Britain's Got Talent, The Voice UK
As much as we’ve groaned here at times over “The Voice” being put up directly against “American Idol” or “The X Factor,” none of this is as groan-inducing as what we’ve seen British TV networks do in the past year when it comes to “Britain’s Got Talent” versus “The Voice” UK. Last year, Simon Cowell […]
Britain's Got Talent, The Voice UK
In news that surely must be making Simon Cowell jump up and down with “Glee,” he managed to defeat the premiere of “The Voice” UK on Saturday, even though he was not even airing one of his own flagship series against it. Instead, an appearance by the “X Factor” creator and music mogul on the […]
