I would just like to write a review on Britain's Got Talent, a prime time weekend show that just got better after Scotswoman Susan Boyle wowed us all quite surprisingly! But this particular show is one with a bit of a difference, as I shall tell you all about now.
We are all used to the usual reality TV shows that are currently on at this time of similar proportions, such as the X Factor; Pop Idol, and so on. But whereas the majority (if not all) of them are purely singing related, this one is more about the other talents that people may have (although singing still does come in to it should that be your own particular talent).
The general layout of the show is the same, whereby you go up in front of the panel of judges who then decide as to whether you are good enough to be able to carry on. Once you have, then you are then ...
Advantages: Easy to watch, very funny auditions at times, can be entertaining Disadvantages: Piers Morgan and the audiences
Britain's Got Talent is yet another show which auditions ordinary folk in search of finding a new, undiscovered talent. It runs each year and the 2009 competition is now underway. The winner gets to perform in front of Her Majesty, or one or two of The Queen's family members, at the year's Royal Variety Show.

Simon Cowell.

The American version of BGT has Jerry Springer as host with Piers Morgan, David Hasselhof and Sharon Osbourne as the judging panel.
Each panel judge ...

Advantages: Can showcase some great contestants Disadvantages: Who usually get ignored for dancers and singers
The idea that Simon Cowell's face automatically means the show he is on will do well seems to, for some reason, turn out to be true and with shows like Pop Idol, X Factor and this, Britain's got Talent all go to prove it. However what's an equally true fact is that ITV seem happy to show these cash cows of glorified popularity contests due to the popularity they seem to have competing against whatever non-entity BBC are showing against it. The masses have been happy to eat up these shows one after the other which despite all being pretty much the same all seem to be hugely popular and almost holding a revolving door slot on ITV's main channel.
The niche that Britain's Got Talent has over the others is of course it's not aimed at just singers (well the concept is for general ?talent?) but allows dancers, magicians, jugglers ...
