The Belles
Australia’s Got Talent
The Watermelon Man
In our show tonight we see Bobby Andanov get the nod to stick around, and he’s blazing through to the next round, then the battle between Rolling Entertainment and K-Star… it came down to Kyle making the final vote and Rolling Entertainment beat out the talented K-Star Evolutionz.
Moving onto the rest of tonight’s acts…
Adam Murby our resident illusionist on this years show, is back to the stage and sticking blades through his little sister with the greatest of ease. The judges are in awe and even being that close they still can’t figure it out. And Danni voices what we all know… the best looking magic duo in the world. Both Kyle and Brian agree that Adam’s act could go worldwide.
Zenith – their name means “we’re going to hit the highest point of creativity.”. In round one of the dance off, Zenith take to the stage with another energy packed performance. None of the judges were as impressed as they were the first time, too chopped up, no signature move/explosion, and not quite the same flow. Still a great performance, but will it be enough?
The Twine, Brian’s favourite family band, bring us more energy, more music, and a great performance to keep us hooked.
Cleopatra up next with a belly giggling comedy performance. Who can forget these ladies? Definitely a memorable performance during their audition but todays performance really didn’t hold my attention at all. Even the boys buzzed them out.
Our cowboy, Grant Richardson didn’t bring the wow factor tonight… a nice song and nice singing, but not the best in Australia. Sorry Grant, you’re not going to be Australia’s most talented act.
Elvi Pez gets a 2nd chance at fame thanks to Brian and Kyle. Our “human computer” is back this time complete with dancers and it’s definitely more entertaining than the first time. But is this what we think showcases our Australian talent? I really hope you’re all shaking your heads in response to that question. “It’s niche, let’s say that much” says Danni. But definitely not a vote from Danni. In fact, there were 3 x’s before Elvie finished his performance. Brian puts it perfectly “I think your computer has a virus”.
Adil and Mamuna had us all mesmerised in the first audition, after deciding to audition at the last minute on the train. Our brother and sister duo are performing Coldplay’s “in my place”. Changing up the song and making it their own seems to have worked for this act. A standing applause from Danni and Brian. “That is how you cover a song” explains Danni.
And for our last act of the night, Justice will take on Zenith head on and show us what they’re made of. These guys have huge hearts and even bigger moves… and tonight was no exception. Bringing all the right moves, a lot of variety, and making us excited about what’s to come. I have no idea how that one dancer Lucas managed to hold himself up on his arms backwards like that… unbelievable, you had to see it to believe it, even Kyle was trying to figure out if they were human. Brian “we’ve got 3 dance crews in the semi finals, and you guys just blew them out of the water … you had a big moment in every scene … that was perfect!”.
Another great night of talent and it’s not over yet!
7:30pm – Tuesday, May 18 on Seven
- SEMI FINAL
In the second Semi-Final, the best act return to impress out judging panel with another performance. The talent has been better than ever this year. Which act gets your vote to make it through to the Grand Final of AUSTRALIA’S GOT TALENT?!
Australia’s Got Talent favourite Bobby Andonov isn’t quite the rookie sensation he has been made out to be on the Channel Seven show.
It has been revealed the 15-year-old is not exactly new to the world of reality television with appearances on the 2008 Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
Andonov represented his parent’s native Macedonia in the international talent competition, placing fifth under the name Bobi Andonov for his song Prati Mi SMS which was released on radio there.
“That was an amazing experience,” Andonov said of the contest.
Of course the Melbourne youngster is not breaking any rules in competing in Australia’s Got Talent, as the competition is open to anyone, professional or amateur.

Australia’s Got Talent – 1st semi-final show… here’s how it played out tonight
K-Star Evolutionz come back with a powerful performance this week and it’s hard to tell that this team of kids practise in a garage and on a driveway. Amazing, I can’t wait to see more! The moves, attitude, and talent are something to keep an eye out for in future.

Watermelon Man – by day he’s a mild mannered english teacher… but on stage he’s a sensation of a very unique kind. Danni tells him “um kind of reminded me of Avatar with no script or special fx”. Grant sums it up for me “I feel like I’m on seal island and it’s mating time”. Please please Australia, is this really what we call talent?

The Belles come back to the stage singing Lady Gaga “Bad Romance” 
, and Brian looks mesmerised… but apparently he’s not impressed at all “I liked you but I didn’t like that”. Kyle is asked why he pushed the buzzer, and he plain and simply replies “because I didn’t like it”. Apparently they didn’t wow him like last week. “I liked the claw but that’s it”. I’m not sure that the judges want them to move on, but the ladies had a great time regardless. It’ll be up to the public to decide.

Our next ad is our 7 year old “wonder kid” Shuan Hern Lee, who’s dream is to be a great concert pianist, brings us more Rachmaninov this week. “Shuan that was just amazing”exclaims Danni, and tells our pianist he’ll definitely get his dream. The other judges agree he’s amazing, but we’ll see what the public say when the votes come through.

Antonio Zonta, 67 years young, still having kids, and wowing the judges with his first audition. Singing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “love changes everything” . Antonio is better dressed this week, and a different tone of song… but a little bit too much expression for Brian’s liking.
To vote for Antonio Zonta call 1902 55 333 5 or SMS ANTONIO to 1997 7772
Ferah and her belly dancing talent are back to seduce the judges and the audience once again. Brian thinks Ferah takes belly dance to a whole new level and is well impressed. Danni just absolutely loved it, and Kyle…. well we all know he loved it. Well done Ferah, you took something traditional and modernised it, and really appealed to the audience. Is it enough?
To vote for Ferah call 1902 55 333 6 or SMS FERAH to 1997 7772
Welcome back after the break with Jak In The Box. With probably my favourite rendition of Waltzing Matilda ever, and some sounds that can only leave us gobsmacked at their talent, here’s hoping Jak In The Box are back for more. Brian is questioning the costumes, and the boys question his knowledge of Australian outback animals, throwing it back in Brian’s face. Danni is impressed “I thought that was fantastic”, and was cracking up laughing during their act.

Bobby Andanov is in front of Australia again to see if he can do better than the amazing performance last time we saw him. Singing Kanye West’s “heartless” , changing his styleand showing us his adaptability… but is it enough? I’m sure every teenage girl in Australia thinks so. And personally I’m amazed at that voice on a 15 year old. Brian sums it up with his comments “I hate you, you’re going to ruin people like me … you come along and make a show of every male singer in this country, you’re a superstar!” Danni agrees with every word, and Kyle tells Bobby with no hesitation at all that he’s going to make millions of dollars with his singing. Amazing talent. Is he Australia’s biggest superstar?
To vote for Bobby Andonov call 1902 55 333 8 or SMS BOBBY to 1997 7772
Rolling Entertainment are bringing back roller skating. And I have to say I LOVE their circus theme. Brian has one thing to start his comments with “I have one criticism about the circus performance, it was way too short!”. Our roller skating team is now rivalling the dance teams in the show, what do you think?

That’s 9 acts this week and more to come next week in the next installment of the semi finals. Make sure you vote for your favourites. Next week will be full of more talent… see you there!
7:30pm – Tuesday, May 11 on Seven
Dannii Minogue, Kyle Sandilands and Brian McFadden judge 2010′s bigger and better AUSTRALIA’S GOT TALENT.
From Solo acts to group performances, comedians and dance troupes; our doors are open to anyone who thinks they have what it takes, as the hunt begins for the hottest undiscovered talent in the country.
AUSTRALIA’S GOT TALENT is hosted by GRANT DENYER.
It’s come to the last week of auditions and we’re here tod see who else will be in with a chance at the $250,000 prize.
First up is Queen of Rock, a Suzi Quatro tribute show … who are clearly not the original talent…. or any talent at all.
Next up is Michael Jackson impersonator with his own dancing girls. But unfortunately, like most tribute acts, it’s the thought that counts… not the talent, and our singer is told that maybe miming the songs would be better next time.
And yes, another tribute/impersonating group, paying tribute to the sounds and styles of The Andrews Sisters, but with a sound of their own. The Belles, 3 singing teachers, in their swinging old style dancing and costumes, and sassy attitude, impress the judges and the crowd.
The next act is kind of creepy in a stalkerish kind of way, and it’s hard to tell whether they’re serious, or just a serious joke. Manparts is a boy band of the 21st century, and they have Danni in hysterics with the comedy part of their act. Brian gives them a piece of his mind, flashbacks and all, for mocking his boyband days “thou shalt protect the boyband from the jester”. Sorry boys, it’s come to the end of the road.
There’s fire, fire and more fire from some talented fire dancers and gymnasts
Howe School Dancers give us some latin dance fever. Brittany Boffo shows us her gymnastics and aerobics skills, tempting Kyle to give it a go. Sorry Kyle, no semi finals for you.
Our next act can disclocate 27 joints and get out of a straightjacket … but today he’s keeping the straightjacket off so we can see every bit of his act. The judges can’t even look. Brian begs the other judges to say no because he can’t bear to watch this talent again… but Danni and Kyle want to see more, so we’ll be seeing this 15 year old boy again.
The next group “definitely ticks the strange box”, Ambassador Belles, with their bell playing and random vocal additions. Brian tells this group “You do what you’re doing very well, but what you’re doing is wierd” and Danni likens it to music from a horror film, half expecting a body to pop out of the ground. Sorry but that’s not going to make it through to
The Badpiper with his 25 years experience show us that bagpipes don’t have to be boring. With dancing pelvic thrusts and fire from the pipes, this is no ordinary bagpipe performance. Badpiper bring it back it’s a definite yes from me. All 3 yes’s, more fire and pipes to come.
From a tightrope walker to Opera-Karate-Chic … yes, that’s their name, the acts come in all shapes and sizes.
Rod Collins is the harmonica player from another planet sounding like a 3 man band with only himself, and getting the judges on their feet.
Jim McCallister relives his rock and roll days, but then our next act Beth O’Driscoll is up with a song she’s been practising since 1973. After about a 1 minute musical intro and the judges and audience wondering what’s going on, Beth FINALLY started her song … a song with no lyrics from Pink Floyd. Kyle sums it up well with his comment “the sign there doesn’t say Australia’s Got Interesting”.
Wholesome, harmonic, and hot are three words the judges use to describe the next act …. but Kyle isn’t impressed with their fashion sense
Vocal Evolution …. the biggest boy band in the world, an all male choir with some fantastic tone and power. These guys will be heading on to show us some more in the following rounds. Even Kyle is impressed.
Blue Nation acapella group are a group of 5 friends with a year of experience getting together just for fun…. but there’s definitely some talent there and they have the audience clapping along shortly into their performance of Bright Sunshining Day . Talent? Yes. Image? No. They’re through … on the conditions of a style makover.
Double trouble and twice the craziness… the twins who show up on every reality show. Kyle is annoyed that even changing networks doesn’t let him escape from these two. 27 year old John and Steven bring us their own rendition of “when you were young” from The Killers … their version is the out of tune and off pitch version. “The singing definitely is not for you.”
The Black Birds are from all over the world, meeting up as buskers, and forming their own band a whle ago to bring us their unique laid back lounge song. Brian “could sit and listen to that all night”, and Kyle would sign them right now if they walked into his office…. there’s no doubting these 3 yes’s.
Simon Russell Baker sings up a storm with his broadway style rendition of “this is the moment” from Jekyll & Hyde , and is followed by yet ANOTHER martial arts performance, but Kyle isn’t about to say no to 12 black belts.
University mates Jack In The Box take acapella and beatboxing to a whole new level playing drums and the digiridoo, scratching, dance music, Mcing, and all with just their voice and a couple of microphones. I could listen to these guys all night. 3 very certain Yes’s … Jack in the Box will be back.
Our last dance crew of the auditions is Justice Crew, from all different walks of life and teaching community dance classes to give something back. And theyre’ here today to show us YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU DREAM. They got the judges on their feet with looks of awe, the audience screaming, and young and old on their feeet. Danni is amazed and tells the boys “the tricks were incredible, the music was phenomenal, and you guys are so likeable… and man I want to see that again!” Yes yes and yes. I wouldn’t be surprised if Justice Crew make it to the final showdown of Australia’s Got Talent.
With the auditions over and the judges beginning their deliberations with 100 acts that need to end up as 32 by the end of the show tonight. Singers with too many skills in common, some performers who really stood out and wow’d us, another Susan Boyle but with less talent, and some …. odd acts.
Kyle points out that you can’t put through all the dance crews, or all the singers, and choosing between them is REALLY hard. With the decisions made it’s time for the judges to announce who’s going through.
We say goodbye to a few dance crews, duets, martial artists, and a variety of …. um … talent.
And coming up in the semi-finals are Kstar Evolutionz, Justice Crew, Bobby Andanov, our duet that got parted during their act, belly dancers, our swing dancing legends The Swingchesters, Shorty-D, a million dollar pianist, Rolling Entertainment with their roller skating performance, Jack in the Box, and even the water melon man, yes, the watermelon man. These are just a few of the acts going through to the semi’s. Watch next week to see more of these amazing acts.
7:30pm – Tuesday, May 4 on Seven
Dannii Minogue, Kyle Sandilands and Brian McFadden judge 2010′s bigger and better AUSTRALIA’S GOT TALENT.
From Solo acts to group performances, comedians and dance troupes; our doors are open to anyone who thinks they have what it takes, as the hunt begins for the hottest undiscovered talent in the country.
AUSTRALIA’S GOT TALENT is hosted by GRANT DENYER.
More drama has erupted on Australia’s Got Talent with judge Brian McFadden telling a contestant where to go.
The Irish export attacked contestant Anne Ferguson-Howe after her stand-up comedy performance, whispering in her ear the words “Why don’t you just f*** off back to England”.
The incident occurred after Ferguson-Howe’s performance flopped on the show and she was launched into by the judging panel. Kyle Sandilands fired a jibe about her weight and it was all-on from there.
Ferguson-Howe retorted with “It’s easy for you to sit there and have a cheap laugh – when was the last time you had a chat about rape?”
The comment was in reference to a lie-detector blunder on Sandiland’s radio show which revealed the rape of a teenage girl who was taking part in the test.
McFadden took offence to the remark about his fellow judge and eventually climbed on stage and tore off his microphone before telling Ferguson-Howe to head back to England.
The exchange was cut from Channel Seven’s broadcast of the talent show.
“All contestants who take part in the auditions know what to expect,” a Seven spokesman said.
“Usually everyone joins in the spirit of the day and has a lot of fun. In this case the exchange was unacceptable and didn’t fit with the vibe of the show, so was deleted.”
