Two acts from each of the live shows will go through to perform in the Final. The act with the highest number of public votes goes through to the final automatically, with the second and third-placed performers vying for the crucial judges’ choice.

We will try to get a LIVE feed up on the site for each of the above shows, so everyone who lives outside the U.K. can watch as it is happening.

Ustream.tv and Justin.tv do services for LIVE shows but picture quality might not be 100 percent.

If anyone knows of a better service just let us know and we will do our best to embed the LIVE shows in a new blog post each night so all members can watch as it is happening.

Britain’s Got Talent star Shaun Smith has insisted that he will stay loyal to his girlfriend.

Britain’s Got Talent star Shaun Smith has insisted that he will stay loyal to his girlfriend.

The 17-year-old singer, who impressed the judges with his version of ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ on Saturday’s show, has been dating 16-year-old Emily Abbotts for 11 months.

“She thinks I’m going to run away with some random woman but I’ll never do that,” he told The Sun.

“She means too much to me and really helps me out by telling me what to wear.”

Smith, who is the bookmakers’ second favourite to win the ITV1 show, was compared to Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall by Simon Cowell.

The rugby fan from Lichfield won a Staffordshire Pop Stars talent contest when he was 14 and has also appeared as an extra in Casualty.

Piers Morgan – Shaun Smith could win this year’s show

Piers Morgan has predicted that new Britain’s Got Talent singer Shaun Smith could win this year’s show.

The 17-year-old from Lichfield, Staffordshire, sang a version of the Bill Withers soul classic ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’, which won a standing ovation from the audience.

Judge Simon Cowell said: “You reminded me of Mick Hucknall – but good looking. And with a personality.”

Morgan wrote on his blog: “At at the end of the show came another young singer who I think has a genuinely good chance of winning this year.

“He’s got the looks, youth, and ‘cool’ factor that will get the ladies hitting their phones to vote. And as we saw with George Sampson last year, that can be a very powerful weapon.”

He added that despite Smith’s chances, ” Susan Boyle is still the one to beat, no question of that”.

Shaun Smith Audition

Susan Boyle Gets Another Rival Shaun Smith

On this weekends Britain’s Got Talent, it’s the singers who yet again seem to be leading the way.

On Saturday we will see 17 year old A-level student Shaun Smith from Litchfield Staffordshire take to the stage.

At school Shaun is a bit of a rugby star and plays three-four times a week but Shaun’s rugby mates have come along with him today to support his true passion, singing.

As Shaun explains “I have been singing for as long as I can remember I’ve done little things but I’ve never sung at anything this big before. It’s all very well and good my Gran saying I’m good but she’s a little biased, but it’s my mates that are the most important thing and that’s when I get nervous as they could rip me to shreds!”.

Shaun sings Ain’t No Sunshine for the Judges and very quickly a big smile spreads across all three Judges faces and the audience, and all of Shaun’s rugby mates, are on their feet.

Simon’s reaction to Shaun’s performance is “I genuinely wasn’t expecting that, you remind me of Mick Hucknall, but good looking. You’ve got a very authentic sounding voice”.

But Amanda has some words of criticism, “take your hands out your pockets and believe in yourself as your body language is saying I’m crap but your voice is saying you’re brilliant, believe in yourself”.

Will Shaun get a clean sweep of yes’s from the judges, and more importantly has Shaun made his mates proud?
