Did anyone see Britians got Talent tonight, How did that man do it? he swallowed a lightbulb....then regurgitated it back. Then he swallowed Amanda's ring, then a padlock, then a key then regurgitated them all back with the ring attached to the padlock.

How did he do it?:gag:

he swallowed a smurf before he came on and it was that who did the lock and ring thing.

alternatively, he's a very good stage magician

well the ring obv isnt actually amandas wedding ring.. he had swallowed a ring exactly the same as amandas fake one with a lock already on it. then he just swallowed the key, ring and lock and brought up the other key with the lock already on it and the key. he cant have unlocked and locked the lock and got the ring on it by using his insides. and amanda wouldnt put her actaull wedding ring down his throat. when he came off stage he brought up the origonal ring and lock seperate.

ive seen him live, and the ring trick is real (or at least i just cant work out how he did it.). he took 5 rings from girls in the audiance and swallowed them one by one. we then shouted out which number ring we wanted on the padlock which he promptly did.

You're contradicting yourself. You said "amanda wouldnt put her actaull wedding ring down his throat" then you said "when he came off stage he brought up the origonal ring and lock seperate" well how can he have brought up the ring afterwards if she wouldn't let him actually swallow her ring!!
It was pretty amazing though!! I don't understand how he does it but it certainly isn't "magic" as some people have suggested because there's no such thing!!
But it's very clever, if a little disgusting.. :/ xx

Stevie Starr used to do a trick where he swallowed live goldfish and then regurgitated them in an order the audience called out.

(they were different colours before anyone asks how you told them apart)

They could pair up, that Sean guy could chop wood into bits and Stevie could regurgitate them (and the chopper as well)

There was a guy called Chaz Chase who used to do this act, many years ago. He used to be a bit of a regular on The Good Old Days (a 1970s BBC TV programme that tried to recreate an Edwardian music hall).

Britains got talent - don't make me laugh. I saw some of this bilge last night and talent it was not. It was won by a performing dog. He narrowly beat a 5th rate Michael jackson tribute act, a potty transvestite and a bloke who looked like a cross between Dale Winton and Craig Revel-Horwood.

Personally I think that it is great to see other acts rather than singers and dancers on Britain's got talent. I think it is a little unfair that singers get a shot at Britain's got Talent when they have the X factor too. And I say this as a singer! Leave it to the variety acts. But maybe I am the only one that feels this way!

I agree I could not believe what they said about Granny Janie,I was cringing listening to her tonight it is cruel for an old lady to be put through that I know it was her choice to enter but lets face what was she going to do at her age and she was terrible.

Yep there definitely should be a rule that you can't enter twice, if everyone did that we'd all get the same old acts time and time again.

As for the drummer boy, I'm with you, I fail to see why the judges liked him or the public voted for him.

Playing drums to a sound track wasn't especially a great talent.
If you want to show of your drumming talent then do a drum solo with no soundtrack playing, then If he can hold the audience then you might see some talent, but what this young chap did was the drumming equivalent of Karaoke, most half decent young boys learning the drums could have produced similar results.

From what I caught of the acts it seems to me that this was one of the weakest fields of all the Britain's Got Talent finals show.

Remember Escala?

They finished outside the top 3 but they would have wiped the floor against most of tonight's acts.

The drumming was not relevant, it was the spaceship stage.

George Sampson won because his routine had the wow factor. It wasn't his dancing, which was average. it was the fact he danced in the rain, to singing in the rain, indoors. That makes it cool.

Now drumming is nice but not very exciting just watching it on his own. Stages are only meant to stay in one place, one going up, down, sideways gave it the wow factor.

Spellbound rightly won. Not great to watch on TV - too much going on and the camera can't follow everything - but must be awesome to watch. All the others were just very average - the dog was poor, the singers were just cabaret and even Tobias Mead was doing nothing special.

Twist and Pulse were also average but I can see why people like them. They are different. They need to do a Stavros Flately quick and milk their fame, as they won't be around in a couple of years as the next dance thing will have come along.

I wanted Kieran (the drummer lad) to win last year has well has this year. Maybe because i love drumming also. But his stage act was nothing new just like drumming to music is not new. My idol Travis Barker did the same act on tour, but his stage went upside down wile he played along to well known songs. Just reminded me of a lill barker when his stage raised. He is good drummer for his age.

So did the drummer boy make the spaceship stage too?

If he he did that might merit a few more votes but seeing as though he didn't I still can't grasp how he could be seen as really that especially talented.

As for George Sampson, I don't think it did have the "Wow" factor, it was a well rehearsed routine that lots of young people, especially teenage girls really liked.

Gene Kelly danced in the "rain" decades ago, and much of Sampson routine was copied from a Volkswagen advert!

If you liked the pole lady - you know the one that I mean, the contortionist with muscles of steel - you might want to check out the next Burly Q night at Bar Abbey

Edd Muir will be performing his very unique pole routine and it is well worth a look.
Check out the Burly Q website for further info.

In fact, if you like talent, check out the next show as there is plenty of it.
