Won`t do that mate I promise. Not my type. The reason I know so much is I have the Wales on Sunday delivered to me in England each week for the sports results and there was a feature on this bloke on the front page last week. Just happened to notice the thread and thought I`d give them a bit of Griff and pretend I knew something about it. Caught out again
Balls or no balls it don’t matter and with auditions coming to an end soon I think Greg can go along way in this show and will put a pound or two on the guy at 25/1 tomorrow.

That was a shambles, Oddschecker quoted Greg at Ladbrokes at 25’s but when I looked at their website this morning couldn’t find anything so popped into the shop only to be told the betting was suspended and so ended up instead losing my two quid on the scoop six, first leg.

Greg Pritchard – a male soprano …oh my word what a shock, I wasn’t expecting that one…lol
how can a man have a voice like that? move over Boyle.
You must be joking.That guy was horrendous. Totally painful to listen to – and for me, simply did not work. It was excrutiating and just wrong.

I wouldn’t give it house room.
I used to work with a bloke who failed to get on that show and he was most upset when I told him that now he had released his CD he had a criminal record. He was ordinary singing the same stuff as everybody elso trying to get on the show instead of trying to stand out.
I thought the first show had loads of talent, but after that the standard dipped a bit. That said yesterdays show was good. All is all I’d say that the standard is higher this year than previous years. It’s something to take quite something to lance the "Boyle" though.
The audition shows of these reality series strike me as being a 21st Century version of a Victorian freak show.
Glad I didn’t get my bet on for Greg, my brief flirtation with the squeaky girls voice is over and I’m now rooting for the 11 year old lad Aidan Davies who was last on, on Saturday the dancer to win as he has real talent and also he hasn’t been practising for 80 years like Susan Boyle.

According to this http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2009/05/18/britain-s-got-talent-exclusive-irish-dancer-neil-horan-is-defrocked-priest-jailed-for-grand-prix-stunt-115875-21367747/, that crappy irish dancer says he’ll sabotage the Epsom Derby next month.
If I caught the little blighter, I’d wring his scrawny chicken neck!
A shaky start from Susan in tonight’s semi final but nailed it at the end when she finally got going. I do enjoy listening to her, maybe it’s novelty value as she’s quite strange to watch, but she’s a character too and seemingly quite unfazed by it all…..I’d be a nervous wreck.
I don’t think betting wise she’s a ‘lay’, surely her following is unstoppable now.
I haven’t really been watching any of this, but can’t help but be aware of the Susan Boyle saga; I just got to thinking of where it would all end for her, though
. Surely she’ll have the 15 minutes of fame thing and then disappear into obscurity again…..

Susan Boyle is where she is for no other reason than her appearance – it’s certainly not because of her voice (which is distinctly average, even by this competition’s standards). Had she walked in to the first round of The X Factor she’d have been ousted within seconds.
Now, line her up against either of the main dance acts (I thought Diversity were superb tonight), or the young lad who sang the Michael Jackson song during the auditions, and she’s no-one.
As for having her on Oprah – what is the world coming to?
Susan Boyle is where she is for no other reason than her appearance –
…as it seems to be for most women on television, so nothing new there.
In a world obsessed with looks and perfection in women, she presents a breath of fresh air and that’s to be applauded I think. She has a powerpacked voice when she get’s going and as a single amateur performer I cannot help but admire her given the massive publicity she’s had.
Diversity do nothing for me, just a load of people jumping around, something to get tired of very quickly. Probably appeals more to the younger male viewer and I’m not sure if they vote that much.
To be fair, I think she ( Susan Boyle ) did sound a little shaky and nervy, probably due to the mass expectation on her shoulders – but she soon hit the mark ( though I felt it was the wrong song choice ) and sailed through it.
Intersesting to not that top voice coach, Yvie Burnett ( opera singer), who trains all BGT singers, thinks that Boyle is the most naturally gifted and best she has worked with.
Whether she wins it or not, she is already a "star".
One minor crticism though. She needs to reel in the daft remarks and over excitability at times. Makes her look a bit doowally (Scots term for off her head
).Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
….I find that’s part of her appeal.
We say doolally…how come the ‘l’ becomes a ‘w’ north of the border?
I was just wondering the same; my mum always used to talk about people being doolally tapped. According to the gospel that is Wikipedia it’s based on british servicemen being stuck at Deolalie in India for long periods of time awaiting transportation back home, getting camp fever and going a bit off the rails.A Scottish friend of mine made a joke once using the word wally which I didn’t really understand, so there must be something peculiar to Scotland about the meaning of the word.
You must be joking.
