Simon Cowell tips Missing People's Choir with Kate McCann as Britain's Got Talent winner

Sorry, but I find the last half-a dozen or so comments really distasteful and just the sort of thing to get people like the serious members of this forum described, wrongly, as trolls.

Despite the dark irony of Kate McCann, the "responsible parent", being anywhere near such a thing as the BGT project on missing kids, there should be no room for cheap jibes about her. The McCann saga is a serious thing.

I read some of the song lyrics and seem to remember a line that said something about wanting to wake up tomorrow and "find you there". I wonder whether Kaye would endorse that sentiment, given that she and G are reported to have been in negotiations to do a 10th anniversary (that would be in May) interview about their daughter's disappearance. Any re-appearance would completely scupper that. That is not a cheap jibe - in my opinion it is a serious point.

All in my opinion and still hoping for justice.

I meant of course Kate (not Kaye). Sorry for the typo - the rest of it stands.

Yeah, they are distasteful, I agree.

But no more distasteful than Prime Suspect, cadaver stinking, corpse concealing, Kate McCann Ambassador for Missing People being involved with a Choir that includes family members of real missing people going on BGT and potentially winning and singing in front of The Queen.

Now, that's distasteful.

GEG, whilst I agree with what you say is distasteful about the awful vista of Kate McCann using BGT for her and GM's highly dubious agenda, I still think we should keep to a certain level of decorum. 

I am very grateful to to members of this forum for the research they have done and the opinions they have expressed. It has helped me to understand more about a case about which I had great suspicions from the beginning.

I still think, though, that we should sink below the level of those we oppose.

All in my opinion and still hoping for truth and justice.

Typo - I meant "should NOT sink below".

It's distasteful when people are taken for fools with no brains from all those spouting their constant lies. 

It is more than distasteful to refer to a great man, with a high position within the PJ, as "disgraced" He was the one who was looking for Madeleine.

It was distasteful that Kate chose to call two police officers, who were looking for her daughter, effing tossers.

Kate being an Ambassador for Missing People is very distasteful.

Do they care?  NO.

Yes I would agree with that,joyce1938

OK. All of that is distasteful. It still doesn't excuse nasty little jokes about cuddly toys, etc. That doesn't take the debate any further. In fact it detracts from it.

Also, your tone is quite aggressive. I feel like I am being ganged up on when all I was trying to do was make a reasonable point in a reasonable way.

I'll give up on that. I now feel unwelcome on this forum and maybe will just go back to reading and not posting.

And systematically deceiving the whole world, alongside her supercilious husband, into thinking their precious child was abducted, most likely by a predatory paedophile and/or child trafficking syndicate?  Abducted because they left their three vulnerable children alone in a strange place to fend for themselves every night - so they say?  Using the child's toy to tug the heartstrings of the public and taking the peoples money, strangers, on the pretext of searching for their child but instead using the money to pay expensive lawyers to get them off the hook?

Nah - sorry mate.  Respect is not a birthright - it has to be earned.

Who let the cat out the bag?  Shame it's not a blue bag - that would complete the ensemble.

Cuddle cat must have a tale or two to tell, if only it could talk.  Then again, dogs can't speak humanoid but they sure can get the message across !!!

Gordon Brown recommended Cowell for knighthood at the Queens 2010 Birthday honours.
Cowell also made a contribution to the McCann fund when it was first set up.
Surely, this choir has an unfair advantage over the other contestants in BGT

This will not please Kate http://home.bt.com/news/bt-life/hagrid-the-dog-bids-for-a-date-with-royalty-on-britains-got-talent-11364151483828

From Textusa Blog;

Watch "KATE MCCANN - Britain's Got Talent - CORRECTION" on YouTube

https://youtu.be/6cslxB8kISw


Taking the video at face value, perhaps certain choir members fear the wrath of the British Public ?

Did anyone notice she said "Kate McCann may appear in the finals" So they already know the choir is in the final?

That cannot be certain yet as it is only auditions that are pre-recorded.

More acts are selected than are needed for the semi-finals, but we can assume from the leaked publicity that the Missing People Choir has been selected for semi-finals by the judges.

The semi-finals are then televised live over a week.   Each night, two acts from each semi-final (the act with the most votes and another chosen by the judges from the acts in second and third place) progress to the live final.

However, I would place a large bet on the Missing People Choir making it to the finals because the judges can even select a 'wild-card' act to join the finalists if something goes terribly wrong at the semi-final stage.

Isn't there a golden buzzer that puts one act straight through? (Sorry, don't watch it myself)

MISSING People Choir are already being tipped to win Britain’s Got Talent.
The new series kicks off this weekend with a batch of new hopefuls – we take a look at the Choir and what they’re all about…
The Missing People Choir will perform on Britain’s Got Talent
Who are the Missing People Choir?
The Missing People Choir is made up of individuals and families of people who have vanished, and is led by the Missing People charity.

Other members include:
Peter Boxell who’s son Lee, 15, who vanished in Sutton, South London, in 1988 after a football match.
Peter Lawrence who’s daughter Claudia, 35, was reported missing on March 19, 2009, after failing to turn up for work in York.
Rachel Edwards who is the sister of missing Manic Street Preachers guitarist Richey Edwards – he mysteriously vanished from a London hotel on February 1, 1995, on the eve of the band’s US tour.

When will the Missing People Choir be on Britain’s Got Talent? What will they perform?
The Missing People Choir recorded their Britain’s Got Talent audition back in January.
They performed the tear-jerking song I Miss You, written by Peter Boxell, and were immediately tipped as possible BGT winners.
It includes the lyrics: “I never thought I’d be without you.
“I always thought you’d be here safe with me.
“Maybe tomorrow I’ll wake up to find you.”
An audience member in London said: “Images of some of the missing people they were linked to also flashed up on the screen which had everyone in tears.
“Judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon were particularly moved.
“Amanda said they were an inspiration.
“The choir said they had only performed together about seven times.
“You could tell in their voices how much it means to them all.”
It’s not yet known which episode the audition will be screened on, but it will be shown once the show kicks off on Saturday 15 April 2017 at 8pm.
Peter Boxall – father to missing Lee Boxell – wrote the song they will perform
What does Simon Cowell think about the Missing People Choir?
The choir has already got the seal of approval from head judge Simon Cowell.
Simon told the Huffington Post: “We had something this year called the Missing People Choir, which was very emotional.
“They’ve got a shot at winning, I think. I remember on the day thinking that it was special.”

How can you have someone who is still a suspect in her child going "missing" as ambassador for missing children, wake up and smell the coffee Sun, bloody disgrace.
----------------------------------

'interesting'?

NO 'mention' of 'you know who'!

If I had a spare £100 I would put it all on a no show by Mrs. because of the Supreme Court ruling.


IIRC there was no sign of her when the Christmas song was being promoted so I very much doubt that she will appear on this show.

Yes there is - it was introduced in series 8.  Each of the 4 judges have a golden buzzer and Ant and Dec have a 5th one.  But that just means they go straight through to the live semi-finals.  (As I said before, even if an act gets 3 or 4 'yeses' during the auditions, they may not be selected for the live semi-finals)   Some golden buzzer acts have not made it to the final.

RosieandSam thanks for clearing that up. :)

Do Operation stGrange have a"Golden Buzzer"perhaps someone has messed with the wiring circuits?

Operation Grange had the GOLDEN BUZZER when they fast-tracked the McCanns to the 'abduction only' theory (the only remit for Operation Grange to consider).  They were given a free pass to the semi-finals ..... it is our remit to make sure that they don't get to the final and a patsy is declared to have abducted Madeleine.

Hi RosieandSam,I wonder if the"Golden Buzzer" has been ringing in Prime minister Theresa May and Cressida Dicks ears,Na it's just me Tinnitus dear?

Kate will be the one standing on the edge of the stage with the "Applause" and "Boo" cards for the audience.  We probably wont see her though.
