Britain’s Got Talent 2015, Week 3: the best auditions, featuring grime dancers, a roaring gospel choir, and ‘hypnodog’

The best, funniest, and weirdest auditions from this year’s TV talent contest
Showdown: Simon Cowell vs. Hypnodog
Ben Travis27 April 2015

Britain’s Got Talent, the nation's favourite guilty pleasure Saturday night viewing, has returned to our screens for 2015, bringing the good, the bad and the downright bizarre to the box.

After last week gave us a no-nonsense karate kid, a cowbell expert, and some jaw-dropping magic tricks, week three of the auditions process upped the weirdness. Here’s our round-up of the best, funniest and weirdest acts to stand before the judges.

1) Grime-dancing school kids

Dance crews are ten-a-penny on Britain’s Got Talent, but there’s no denying that IMD’s display was something pretty special. Performing to a blaring grime beat, the crew added martial arts-esque moves into their routine for an extra kick.

2) The man with the golden cape

If the lack of Strictly Come Dancing has left you without a fix of Saturday night glam, Vince Venus’ act initially seemed to be bringing it, storming on stage in a shiny gold cape. Too bad he followed it up with one of the worst renditions of I Want To Break Free ever recorded.

3) Sideways roller-skates

You can always count on Britain’s Got Talent to show you something you’ve never seen – enter Feng Xue from China, with a pair of sideways roller-skates. If they seem difficult to skate with, that’s because they are – Xue stumbles off them midway through his oddly hypnotic performance.

4) Gospel choir unleash their roar

It often feels underwhelming seeing singing acts on Britain’s Got Talent when the X Factor’s just around the corner, but gospel choir Revelation Avenue were too brilliant to miss. Their performance of Katy Perry’s Roar hit every note perfectly, and was brimming with passion.

5) Hypnodog takes on Simon Cowell

Probably the weirdest audition Britain’s Got Talent has ever seen – the show’s had hypnotists and dog acts in the past, but never a hypnodog. With Ant, Dec and several audience ‘volunteers’ falling under Princess’ spell, it’s hard not to think that this all a set-up. Even so, it was brilliantly daft telly.
