Well, some like to learn swimming first and then take to the sea, some like to take to the sea and learn to swim. If you are of the second type, take the plunge. If you do, let me wish you the best of luck mate!!

Simbazz, would Britain's Got Talent suit you more?
Well thats a very good question. To be honest, I would hate to make a tit of myself on telly, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to being recognised in places (and a shedload of adds on facebook) if I get featured to be honest! But another part of me is just wanting to forge a career in singing, but with no experience, I won't be complaing if I don't; 1) manage a whole career and 2) get through the auditions if I get that far!
So yes I want to make it in the industry, but its not the end of the world as I have other things to fall back on. But like I have said before, I'm taking every stage as it comes. I feel its a win-win situation!
I'm a serious performer, so I'm definitely not in it for the TV aspect of the show, though it's completely different to anything I've done so far. However, having read your advice MB, I'm going to take it with a pinch of salt, and if I don't go through, I don't go through (though I would prefer to be given constructive criticism).
And as a serious performer, you have every right to do so. However, shows like this are extremely unprofessional: any proper professional audition would not slag you off to your face, they would merely not call you at all. Unfortunately, people like Cowell very rarely do constructive criticism.I know it's for the sake of 'good TV', but that still makes it unprofessional in my view.
