@BGT @LCGCtweets Don’t get me wrong they are amazing. But they are bound to be.. you only have to look at who they have supported singing. They are world known. I would like to see more acts that actually aren’t recognised or have already got fame.
@BGT@lorenallred Amazing voice of course. She isn’t silly. Get on BGT and it’s a way of getting millions of people to hear you. I’d say she isn’t making it all that big in America
@imacelebrity@antanddec@richardm56 I’m gutted for him. This is such a shame. I thought he was so positive and I reckon he could have made it to new the final. So sad about the Covid rules but guess they can’t compromise the others. Such a shame though.
