Greg Pritchard "Nessun Dorma" Video BGT Semifinal 5 May 29

As a 29 year old waiter who’s also a male soprano, Greg Pritchard garnered raves during his audition. In Britain's Got Talent (BGT) Semifinal 5 May 29 show, Greg Pritchard chose to perform his version of “Nessun Dorma” from the Giacomo Puccini opera, Turandot. Greg's performance was a bit shaky at the start. In fact, Simon Cowell buzzed him out.

However, Piers Morgan thought Greg's performance was "very original, very unique and very Britain's Got Talent". Sadly, Greg did not get through the BGT Finale tomorrow because the judges preferred to give Hollie Steel the slot. May Greg Pritchard fans thought that he was robbed of his opportunity to shine in the BGT Finale. Oh well... just watch Greg Pritchard's Nessun Dorma performance video in BGT Semifinal 5 May 29 (5/29/09):

Aidan Davis "Rock Your Body" Video Britain's Got Talent Semifinal 5 May 29

Twelve year old Aidan Davis rocked the Britain's Got Talent Semifinal 5 with his "Rock Your Body" performance that could give Justin Timberlake a run for his money. Simon praised him that "whatever its is, you've got it" that he has "pure confidence, total charisma, great face, great routine... I would be amazed if we're not gonna be seeing you tomorrow, young man!"

Hollie Steel Breaks Down in BGT Semifinals 5 (Video)

Apparently, the Britain's Got Talent Semifinals is too much for a ten year old to handle. That's why Hollie Steel could not control her stage fright as she was in the middle of her song "Edelweiss" (from The Sound of Music). After Hollie had frozen onstage, tears began to fall as she appears to be on a meltdown. That's why Ant, Dec, Amanda and her mother came to her rescue in front of the camera. Hollie asked if she could do her performance one more time but the show doesn't have enough time to accommodate that. Simon assured her that they will find time during the rest of the show.

Poor Hollie! I think the audience will be commiserating with her and put her through the finals.

Update: Hollie makes it to the BGT Finals tomorrow!

Below is Hollie Steel Break Down Video in BGT May 29 (5/29/09):

Another 12 year old singer is earning raves in Britain's Got Talent Semifinal 4, he is Callum Francis from Hertfordshire. Callum has already acted in West End plays and now he's bound to give Shaheen Jafargholi a tough time in the BGT finale if he makes it tonight May 28 (5/28/09).

Julian Smith "All By Myself" Britain's Got Talent May 28 Performance Video

Julian Smith, a 39 year old saxophonist originating from Birmingham, has wowed the audience with his rendition of "All By Myself". Piers Morgan thought that Julian Smith is one of the coolest contestants they had on the show and Julian can win the competition with his saxophone. Amanda Holden shared that Julian is the "best act" in the BGT semifinals 4 so far. Lastly, Simon Cowell liked Julian as a person because he's humble and he's chosen unique and brilliant songs for them. Watch Julian Smith "All By Myself" saxophone performance video May 28 (5/28/09) after the jump.

Susan Boyle Caught Ranting - Susan Hates Shaheen Jafargholi

Fame might just be giving her much pressure as Susan Boyle was caught publicly screaming four letter words when two strangers "set out to wind her up" in the Wembley Plaza Hotel in North London yesterday (May 27 5 PM). In the Sun UK exclusive, the Internet sensation was "roaring": "How f&@#!ing dare you! You can't f&@#!ing talk to me like that." And when the cops stationed near the hotel accosted her about having problems, SuBo snapped out "Of course there's a f&@#!ing problem!". Whoa, that's really not the Susan Boyle the world knew who's a church worker and a mild-mannered woman! Sources say that Susan Boyle is in a bad mood lately because one of her toughest competitor in Britain's Got Talent, Shaheen Jafargholi got rave praises from BGT judges the night before, especially from her favorite judge Piers Morgan. More than 100 people at the hotel saw Susan scream invectives when Shaheen's fans were cheering for him at the hotel bar.
Susan Boyle Ranting and Hating Shaheen
A pal of Susan Boyle had intervened and told Susan to calm down and she "can't act like this." One neighbor of the Internet sensation issued Susan's tendency to throw a fit: "The reason is because if Susan doesn't get what she wants, she goes wild." Another one commented that: "A few of us think it's only a matter of time before she loses it on the show." I guess Susan should get her act together in order to gain their votes for the show. If she can’t control her tantrums, Susan will definitely be subdued by a 12 year old kid in the BGT Finale. For more information about the Susan Boyle ranting, please visit The Sun UK website.

Shaun Smith With or Without You BGT May 25
It can be remembered that Shaun Smith sang "Ain't No Sunshine" for his audition, which gained BGT judge Simon Cowell's praise. This was reminiscent of Kris Allen's performance who eventually won American Idol 2009. Will Shaun Smith have the same fate on BGT? Well, Shaun performed a goosebump-inducing rendition of U2's "With or Without You" last night. Below is Shaun Smith's "With or Without You" Britain's Got Talent May 25 performance video:

Below are the performance video of Diversity in Britain's Got Talent May 24 show:

Julia Naidenko and Sue Son Fail to Make the Cut in Britain's Got Talent May 24

Latvian sexy dancer Julia Naidenko and South Korean violinist Sue Son failed to make it in the finals of Britain's Got Talent (BGT) during the semi-finals round last May 24 (5/43/09). Julia, who sashayed in the stage with "Lady Marmalade", got ditched by judge Amanda Holden predicting that the Queen will "be very upset" upon seeing her sexy dancing because Prince Phillip and the boys will be distracted by her as she is "far too sexy". Sue, on the other hand, got raves with her performance as Holden thought that: "You are a vixen with a violin, you have really grown."

Both Sue Son and Julia Naidenko was edged out of the final round next Saturday (May 30) as Susan Boyle and a dance group Diversity were the ones who got the most votes in the BGT voting polls after the show. See Julia Naidenko's "Lady Marmalade" and Sue Son's violin performance in Britain's Got Talent May 24 semi-finals show below.
