Britain’s Got Talent: Josh Barry, Ice, Marlene From Bournemouth And Twist & Pulse’s Bean Soup
IT’S Britain’s Got Talent, and time to check up on tonight’s agonists competing to remind the Queen why she has Sky Plus. Time, then, to meet teenage dance troupe Ice. From Rotherham.
Says dance teacher Nikki:
“Ice was formed to help the children get their confidence and hopefully to believe in themselves.”
And if they can get on the telly, so much the more confidence boosting. But only if they don’t stay to watch Ashley and Glen, aka Twist & Pulse. Says Glen:
“We’ve been training and preparing for this day for weeks and weeks and weeks in our kitchen.”
It’s dance and comedy in one. It’s bad dancing or bad comedy in one. It cannot fail. And with a name like Twist & Pulse, they make a terrific bean soup.
And there’s 62 year old Marlene from Bournemouth.
“I have three children, eight grandchildren and one great granddaughter. My ultimate dream is I’d love to perform on the Royal Variety Performance. All my family and friends say ‘Why do you want to do it now’ and I think why not? There’s no age limit on dreams at all.”
There is an age limit, Marlene. You stop dreaming at 11. After that it’s called wetching daytime telly or panic.
One who can sing is Josh Barry, Josh has a neat face, and good music skin tones. Josh starts to sing My Girl by The Temptations. He could go all the way. But he won’t – which is a shame because he gives Piers Morgan a grippy handshake.
Piers is middle-aged, a time when shaking hands in a grippy handshake makes you like a geography teacher trying to get down with the kids at the school disco. Nice one, Josh. But you still won’t win…
