Talent Fit For The Queen

For the last couple weeks I have been regularly watching a show on YouTube, the show Britain's Got Talent for a few reasons: I find it entertaining, it puts a smile on my face, it sometimes even chokes me up, and I also love British people :). I really am not one to watch these talent/reality shows ex. like American Idol, America's Got Talent, So You Think You Can Dance, etc. Usually, they are just not really my thing, but, for the reasons listed above, I love seeing what Britain's Got Talent has to offer. This year there were some fantastic acts. Singers, dancers, dance groups, poets, escape artists, you really couldn't guess what was going to come out next. What I wanted to do was share with you some of my favourites from the season. Not necessarily ones that did very well, but ones that in for whatever reason I thought were very talented, funny, or that might just makes you feel good. I will provide the links to the YouTube video of the act below.

Stavros Flatley

My favourite act of the entire show. Absolutely fantastic. You cannot watch this without smiling and laughing.

Hollie Steel

Awwww, is she supposed to be able to sing like that? Simply wonderful.

Shaun Smith

He had to be convinced by his rugby mates to go to the audition.

Eugene The Librarian

I don't know if this is real or not, but this guy is an absolute legend.

Aidan Davis

This boy can dance.

Flawless

That they were. A fantastic dance group.


And now my two favourites of the finals.

Diversity

The best dance group of the whole competition in my opinion. Talent wise they were the best overall act.

Stravros Flatley

In my heart I wanted these two to win so bad. They just make you laugh, smile, and feel good. This is the video of them in the finals.

The winner was ????, and they certainly did deserve to win. They are unbelievably creative, their name obviously fits their group, and they really really wanted to win. Congrats.

There were lots of great acts, groups and performances and of course I couldn't have them all here. Notable mentions are Callum Francis, Susan Boyle, Julian Smith, Shaheen Jafargholi, 2 Grand, Jamie Pugh and Faces of Disco.

Never say; "I don't have the talent, I don't have the passion, I don't have the desire." There is always something that each one of us excels at and loves doing, sometimes it just doesn't fall into your bowl of cheerios; you have to go out, take a chance and find it.

Never let anyone tell you that "maybe doing that wouldn't be a good idea. How do you know it will work out?" If we always knew what the next day would bring, waking up would be dreadful. Take the chance, follow your passion, and know what it feels like to find it difficult to fall asleep because you're so excited about what the next day might have in store.

Have a great week!
