Vizage セミファイナル

BGT


「はや着替え」のVizageは、なんだかんだでセミファイナルに進出した。
審査員は歌を歌わないことを強く勧めたが、ふたりは歌うことに決めたようで・・・。
演技後、サムが歌をやめなかった理由を語る。

サム：歌はこれまで僕たちが続けてきたことですし、自分たちに、また、観客に対しても正直であるべきだと言われたんです。だから歌をやめなかったんです。
僕らは、自分たちの演技に妥協したくなかったのです。
審査員がぼくらの歌を好きでないなら、仕方ないです。それは彼らの選択なので。

審査員の言葉。

ピエーズ：僕が（不合格の）ブザーを押した理由は明白だよ。彼らはすすんで自殺行為をしたんだ。悲劇なのは、彼らがうたをやめなかったのは、高慢さからきているんだ。こんなことを言って申し訳ないけれど、彼らは高慢だよ。三人の審査員が、彼らの「はや着替え」を高く評価しているのに、歌うのをやめなかったんだ。ビッキーは歌がうまくないよ。歌うことでパフォーマンスがだいなしになっているって、僕らは言っているのに、彼らはまた同じことをして、自分たちのパフォーマンスを殺したんだ。高慢だよ。

サイモン：いいかい、君たちはいい人だけど、正直なところ、歌は前回のオーディションより悪くなっていたよ。僕が歯がゆいのは、僕が「はや着替え」自体は好きなことだよ。まるで、アイスクリームを注文して、たまねぎのトッピングがついてくるようなものだよ。この二つは合わないでしょ？
もし巻き戻しできるとしたら、「はや着替え」の部分は見られるけど、歌をもう一度聴きたい人はいないと思うよ。

Sam: Me and Vicky has been married for six year now, we're vocal illusion act. And we are specializing in quick change, it changes costumes quickly in a magical way.
Vicky: The comments from the judges were not positive.

        • -

Simon: It was cheapened, with the singing. You're not a good singer.
Piers: If you promise not to sing again, I'll put you through.

        • -

Vicky: It was very upsetting.
Sam: Vizage is a vocal illusion act, and stay true to ourself and fight for a place in the final with singing. It takes massive risk doing that.

        • -

        • -

        • -

MC1: Vizage! Three buzzes there.
MC2: How did that go?
Vicky: Well, I thought it went on all right.
MC1: You've got three buzzes...
Sam: Obviously.
MC1: ...from the judges. And we're so earlier on you decide whether to sing or not to sing and you still to go on...
Sam: That's right.
MC1: And you sung, why?
Sam: Well, it's what we do and we are told, um, stay true to ourselves and true to the audiences. That's why we've done, and I hopefully ???
MC2: You didn't compromise the act?
Sam: That's right. If we compromise, it's um.. If the judges didn't like it, that's very enough and that's their choice. We just want to do what I want to do. And that's what I can say, and thank you very much for having us to be in the show and giving us the chances.
MC2: Let's find out exactly why they gave you three buzzes. Piers, why?
Piers: Well, it's obvious why I buzzed. They committed complete professional suicide with that performing. And the tragedy, tragedy for you, is you did it because you are arrogant enough, I don't...well sorry, I'm gonna say this, I'm going to say what I think, right? Because I think it is arrogant. When three judges say to you, look, we love your act, love the quick changes, and quite see good change act, which are as well as you know, great, right? You're terrific about it. You are not a good singer, and the singing wrecked the act, and we told you that. And you come back on and is arrogant to do, come back on and doing it all over again, and murdered your act with your voice!
Amanda: All right.
Piers: Sorry!
Amanda: Just shut up for a minute!
Amanda: Listen. It's, it's defi...what you were doing, your act is very skillful, it's talented, there's no doubt about that. It's not arrogant to go against us.
Piers: It's arrogant!
Amanda: No, it isn't, Piers! It was...it was...
Piers: I feel sorry for you.
Amanda: Can I just speak for once!!
Piers: Oh, yes.
Amanda: It was a gamble, darling, and it's one that unfortunately hasn't paid off. That's all it was. ??Part of that?? Simon pressed my buzzer. So I'm big cross. I didn't press my buzzer.
MC2: OK. Simon?
Simon: Look. You know, you are nice people, but something be honest with you, I think the singing got worse than that I heard at the first time round. You know, where I'm frustrated it, 'cause I like your original act. It's like I ordered an ice cream and then getting an onion topping on it. You know, two don't go together.
Piers: Exactly.
Simon: You know. And..
Amanda: Dark. break, ??? Sorry, carry on!
Simon: What are you talking about?
Amanda: I'm off. Carry on.
Simon: So if we could rewind, and just have you taking the clothes off, you doing the umbrella, you know what I mean, you could've have good reactions, but I don't think anybody could've listen to it that much longer. Sorry.
MC1: All right. Thanks, judges.
MC2: It's fairly some like feeling ??? in the audition, they did like the act, there and singing bunches they didn't like it.
Sam: That't the opinion and Piers said that he was sorry for me and but I just like to ??say?? I don't feel sorry for myself. Me and Vicky stand together and support 100%. We are Vizage.
MC1: Good for you! Good for you!
MC2: Well, as I ever said, it's not up to the judges, it's up to you! And to see these two back for the big final on Saturday night, all you have to do is to call on 09011 32 22 06. Not just yet. Line's are now open. Ladies and gentlemen, give them warm and ?? applaud!
