Greg Pritchard - Britain's Got Talent Episode 5
Walking on stage last Saturday night to audition for Britain's Got Talent, Greg Pritchard appeared, with his spikey Adam Lambert hair, leather jacket, soulpatch, engaging cheeky grin - and mellow low voice, the quintessential rock lad. He answered the prerequisite questions from the judges, closed his eyes for a moment and then started to sing.
Moment of shock, amazement, even confusion...a total WTH??? moment. Here is another case (i.e. Susan Boyle) of not assuming or judging by appearances. This charming, young man with his countratenor voice (male soprano) is rare in today's world. During the Baroque period (1600 - 1750) when opera first became popular, male sopranos were common - unfortunately, they were Castrati and Greg insists that he is 'all male' and has 'all his bits'
How Greg's talent will play out in the BGT finals is not known, but we can be assured that the show(s) will be interesting. Note: Britain's Got Talent now has a channel on Youtube, so that we here in North America can view each Saturday night show the next day.
