BRITAIN´S GOT TALENT

Has Britain got talent?

If you watch Saturday night TV in the UK your answer might be YES or NO.  On ITV (Independent Television) the programmes Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) and X-Factor have been auditioning singers, acrobats, comedians and even synchronized swimmers(!) to find out who is the best entertainer.
Meanwhile, on BBC 1, The Voice, has also been looking for a great singer. The big idea is that contestants are judged on their voice alone, not their appearance.
But how good are the performers? On both shows a panel of judges give their opinions and decide who has the talent to go through to the next round.
The judges on BGT and The Voice want to sound young and cool. One of the ways they do is through the words they choose. They don’t just say, ‘that was good’; they say, ‘you kicked it’ or ‘you were on fire.’
Next time you watch listen out for the following phrases:

They say	They mean
You were on fire	You were great
That was insane	That was really good
You were unbelievable	You were really good
I felt your pain	You showed emotion
You killed it / You nailed it	You performed that song really well
You're a risk taker	You're confident
This guy is the finished article	This guy is already a great performer
You give it the full monty	You give it 100% effort
You need to own it	You need to perform with more confidence
I would fight to the death for you	I would support you completely

• audition (verb): to perform for a judge
