Jesse Jane McParland does her little ninja thing joined on
stage by a plethora of masked ninjas; no-one says a thing.
Boyband strut their funky stuff as girls primp and preen
behind them in tight red leotards and no-one bats an eyelid apart from to say that
maybe they are a little bit distracting.
Chloe Louise Crawford twirls her un-named dance partner
across the stage before flinging him up towards the ceiling without thinking it
might have been polite to acquaint us with who he is and what he does for a
living whilst Jamie Raven transports a helicopter to the stage by the power of
magic alone although the gent sitting in the cockpit might have a different
story to tell on how it came to be there if only we were allowed to speak with
him.
Old men grooving are
supported by a cast of many but isn’t it strange how nobody seems to think it’s
a bit rude of them not to introduce us to anyone at this wedding day they
appear to be gate crashing.
And there’s that gospel choir appearing from the wings again
to support many a vocalists towering crescendo at the climax of their song
before disappearing once more into the darkness without so much as a thank you
for bolstering up my harmonies that might otherwise have sounded really quite
reedy in this echoey O2 arena.
So isn’t it a little bit hypocritical all this fuss everyone
is making over Jules o Dwyer’s use of a little canine extra in her and Matisse’s
B.G.T Final performance in the shape of her aforementioned
doggy chums best friend when other acts have bolstered their two minutes of
fame with anonymous helpers albeit of the human variety.
Chase may have had to step in when Matisse’s fear of heights
got the better of him and yes maybe it would have been better to admit to a
little stunt doubling but surely the talent without which the name of the
programme would be redundant, is in Jules case that she truly has an affinity
and skill with her canine chums to get them to do these things that do so tug
at our heartstrings.
For if you think of the old adage about dogs and teaching
them new tricks, getting one to walk a tightrope is certainly no mean feat .
