No, really...

YouTube - (Katie Price) Jordan's Real Voice - A Whole New World
YouTube - Charlie Chuck - Keith Chegwin Talent Show - Sky TV

Classy. C'mon pussies, outclass that with some drivel from your pathetic countries, if you can.

Barbara Padilla singing the Ave Maria from last season's America's Got Talent.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2RbtElk-FM(sorry it's the best version i could find)
If she had sang this for the final instead of her 1st audition song (Same mistake Susan Boyle made), or "Think of Me" from "The Phantom", she would have won.

Obviously not. It's tea time now, and since I don't have a TV I'm sitting in front of a Mac letting you guys entertain me while I eat.

I'm more concerned by the prospect of him having installed Silverlight unless ITV have changed their catchup service.

No. None of my clips were from the actual TV show. I'm simply showcasing the wide variety of genius-level talent emanating from my country.

And until now, Britain is obviously winning. Chongo made a half-hearted attempt but that chick was nowhere near talented enough.

Now this is the kind of genius-level talent I want to see:

What on earth is a Silverlight?

And ITV's not still going, is it? Shouldn't every character in every show have topped themselves by now with the misery of it all?
(I haven't actually seen a TV show in years. YouTube, DVDs and *cough*stolen files*cough* only here.)

It would be pretty fun if they had a World's Got Talent where people from across the globe could compete. Or if they had each country's 50 or so semi-finalists from previous years compete in a single show.

Eurovision is an attempt at this. Obviously not for the world though.

Britain came last this year, IIUC.
