The Big Show Live?Reviews
2008-06-10 01:53:00 Most of the reviews that I’ve seen, concerning the Britain’s Got Talent Live tour, have been a bit on the spiteful side.

A Dangerous Opportunity?
2008-06-07 16:53:00 It is no secret that my favorite, in the Britain’s Got Talent competition this year, was Faryl Smith. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again–the girl has more than talent; she’s got soul. The public did not vote her number one, but Faryl will do well regardless. She will soon be signed with a ...
