I used to watch Belgium's Got Talent, but I stopped because of too many bad/boring acts. A lot of these bad/boring acts went through to the next round, often because they had some sort of sad/cute/romantic story. For example, a guy did a marriage proposal on stage, so their act won that episode.

Now I only watch videos of Britain's Got Talent and America's Got Talent on Youtube. That way I only get to see the best/funniest acts anymore.

That's what pvrs are for. I watch it with my wife too, but never live. fast forwad button gets good use and reduces the show from 2 hours to 20 or max 30 minutes. We always make fun of them while fast forwarding, yeah yeah your cat died of cancer and you quit you job to be on the show because you need the money to give your mother a sex change operation, just go. Which is why Puddles was great, making his own sob story which was actually more entertaining than him singing royals.

The show also has an obsession with kids and the elederly. At least the grannies never make it far, dancing kids ugh. Plus those at the table magic card acts, really what's the point. Plus they are always easy to figure out if you simply think them through backwards. The worst was the magic 'guessing' of the iPhone unlock code. The fuck, a 5 year old can write an app that looks like an unlock screen and accepts any second input.

This so much. All kids who are just somewhat decent singers or dancers do extremely well on the show.

I do like Darci Lynne a lot though. Her acts perfectly combine entertainment, talent and originality. I think it's the first time a kid is one of my favorites.
