Barlow's Got Talent


The Britain’s Got Talent juggernaut finally came to an end on Saturday evening with Diversity getting a surprise victory. They had tough competition from global singing sensation Susan Boyle and a man who plays lift music on a saxophone. Diversity where worthy winners, but there was one man sitting in his country mansion who was less than impressed. Gary Barlow of Take That and mountain climbing fame had been following the competition closely. The trouble is that when you’re as talented as Mr Barlow, everyone else seems very amateur.

When And & Dec announced Diversity as the winners, Mr Barlow sat back in his throne and sarcastically clapped, “well done Diversity, you where great but me and the lads could of done that blindfolded,” he sniped. While Mr Barlow liked the premise of the show, he was not impressed with the talent served up. It was at this point that Mr Barlow though he’d take action and enter himself in next years show; in fact he’d create his own show to showcase all his talents, Barlow’s Got Talent.

Barlow’s Got Talent (or BGT) will be exactly the same format as Britain’s Got Talent (or BGT), but the twist is you have to be Gary Barlow to take part. Mr Barlow will showcase his wonderful singing, dancing, juggling (with watermelons), saxophone playing, singing like a small girl and then crying, Greek dancing, dog walking (complete with tap dance) and lifting heavy machinery with his ear lobes under the guise of his alter ego Danger Gary. Bookmakers have already made Greek dancing Barlow favourite to win the competition.

It’s going to be a huge hit and is sure to be syndicated throughout the world. Bono has already put his name forward as being the sole participant in Ireland’s version, Bono’s Got Talent (or BGT).

Any chance of a ticket in the front row?

Your pal, the executioner.
