Lauren Medway
Simon, I am posting this in the, probably, vain hope that you or one of you people will read some of the forum comments about your fantastic show. Last year you were man enough to stand up and announce that your team had made a mistake and had changed your minds about one the acts.
I respectfully and strongly advise you to review your decision not to put Lauren Medway through to the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent.
She appeared in the More Britain's Got Talent on 3rd May. She was only aired for about 30 seconds and Amanda, Piers and yourself were seen to give her 3 yes votes and the presenter said the judges were "blown away".
I am her grand-father and as a family we have been contacted by many people, including some from overseas, asking why she wasn't on the main BGT programme. Lots of interest has come from just that 30 seconds on your secondary show.
I really feel that you have missed an opportunity to, lucratively, promote a star of the future (sorry about the cliché).
Since her audition on BGT she has been entered in the Live & Unsigned competition and she has made it to the National Grand Final (The last 15 from an entry of 10,000).
Ged Doherty has been down to the west country personally to see her and two other acts and told my daughter and her husband that if they thought that Lauren would be able to handle the pressure that he would be interested in her.
Of the many e-mails and phone calls that my family have received since her brief appearanve on BGMT the one I am posting below is quite representitive ...........
"Please, Please, Please can we see more of your lovely
little girl who had a beautiful voice on Britain’s
Got More Talent?
What a little star of the future! I really
don’t think that they showed enough of her singing on the show. The host
said that she blew the judges away and sailed through to the next auditions. So
why can’t the nation see what they saw? They should of shown their
comments, because they must have been good if she sailed through to the next
round. She deserves to be put on the real show that is on in the early part of
the evening. It only seems that you get somewhere or get to see all the comments
if they have some story to back up their talent. You little girl seems to be
on there because she is truly talented and gets put on the second rate show. Go
on do the nation a favour, and lets see more of her!!!!!"
A fan of little Lauren Medway.
It's your call Simon
