在看過上一季的Britai1n got Talent 2012後我就鐵口直斷地說“那隻狗會贏！”。果然，那隻專長用兩隻後退表演、名為“Pudsey”的狗狗贏得了英國人的心，贏了2012年為英國女王表演的殊榮。

但是，當我把這事說給托比聽得時候，托比居然不相信我有如此慧眼，直說：你還不是看了Result才這樣說的。

今年為了堵托比的嘴，決定來為今年的Talent秀做個記錄，至少今天才播出第一集，就看上幾個非常得我心的Talent。

一個是年僅14歲的小男孩Jack Caroll，另一個則是來自匈牙利的表演團體Attraction。

Britain's Got Talent 2013 results recap: Jack Carroll, Alice  Fredenham get four yesses

Comedian Jack Carroll, shy singer Alice Fredenham（這個也不錯但不那麼得我心） and dance  group Attraction were among the successful acts in the first week of Britain’s  Got Talent 2013 auditions.

The seventh series of the variety talent show kicked off tonight, and among  the stand out contestants was Carroll, a 14-year-old cerebral palsy  sufferer.

He managed to win over the crowd and the panel after a string of funnymen  fell flat, including Colin Smith, Jonathan Hines and Paul Stark, the latter of  whom was booed off stage.

“Jack you are a comedy genius,” said Little Britain star David  Walliams as the panel awarded him four yesses. “I wasn’t as funny as you  at 14, I’m not even as funny now as you are now at 14 years old. It was  incredible. Every joke was a winner.”

我認為這個患了腦性麻痺的小男孩不是因為他的Funny jokes贏得了英國人的心，而是他對自身殘疾的樂觀態度贏得了滿堂的喝彩。

他還沒表演我就已經笑出聲是因為在他之前的表演者都被裁判Buzz out，所以Jack在出場前很幽默地跟他媽媽說“別擔心，晚飯前我就會回來了！”，意思是說他如果也被裁判Buzz，用不了多久就能回家吃晚餐了。

結果他不但完整地把他要表演的東西表演完，大夥還意猶未盡，最後贏得了觀眾及裁判的起立鼓掌。

Fredenham, a 28-year-old beauty therapist, blew the panel away with a voice  that Simon Cowell described as ‘liquid gold’, despite  battling extreme stage fright.

“That was the most memorising, sultry, sexy performance and I fell in love  with you,” commented Amanda Holden.

Also flying the flag for the singers were 11-year-old Arixandra Libantino and  London choir Gospel Singers Incognito, both of whom made it through.

However, others weren’t as lucky, with mother-daughter duo Two’s Country  getting buzzed off by all four judges. Despite travelling from Europe to try  out, Maria Calabrese and Alexei were also rejected – while 28-year-old Hayley  May’s failure to remember her lyrics cost her a place in the competition.

One of the most emotional performances of the show came from Attraction, a  nine-strong ‘shadow dance’ group from Hungary. They told a moving true story  using the movements of their bodies projected on to a screen.

“That was so beautiful, just so poignant and emotional,” Alesha  Dixon said. “I kind of forgot that we were here and you just drew me in  completely. It was fantastic.”

Amanda was left teary-eyed, while Simon added: “Guys I just want to say thank  you actually for coming over to enter this competition.

“I’m always very flattered when people from other countries want to compete  on this show and it is one of the best acts I’ve ever seen in terms of  originality and it was very touching.”

我真得很喜歡這個團體的表演，很新奇，之前完全沒看過類似的表演。

我上網google了一下他們的影片，發現他們的舞蹈在色彩及shadow的加持下，看起來更豐富、更精彩。

我沒辦法在這裡上傳影片，有興趣的人可以上網看看：http://vimeo.com/40399487

‘Chair dancer’ Kerri Graham also secured her place after surprising the  judges by stripping off – with her performance even prompting Simon to get on stage for the first time ever.

During the media mogul’s absence in Manchester, the other judges gave the  thumbs up to Sia Lord, latin dancers Viva Elvis, and 57-year-old Martin Healy,  who performed with a broom dressed as a nun.

However, madcap routines didn’t work for singer Taichi Imanishi and animal  impressionist Eshanul Chy, who were both sent home.
