Sad songs have a place in the music industry and his talents could have been more in the writing of the song than singing it. Many artists make their money as solely a song writer not a singer
I liked it, since i do enjoy alot of the music that arnt played on the "commercial" radio. Not everything have to be happy al the time. If you done this in 60s-70s then you would probably gotten big.
but wait, since when did the rules state contestants should not use sad./depressing songs.
Radiohead did well enough for themselves.... i think he deserves respect for writing his own song, i mean who the heck else writes their own song for Britains got talent.
I think he should've been givin' a chance to sing through the song. How could they have figured out it was soooo depressing before he even sang the song all the way through. I've read that they interviewed him before he performed...I feel they were just using him to be one of their rejections....so sad.
This wasn't as awful as I thought it would be after reading the story in The Guardian. Besides, the guy has a long history of depression so it's no wonder he sings about suicide. If the song was performed by a birlliant singer, it wouldn't be bad at all.
I expected this to be awful after reading the news story about Alyn but I actually think he's a good songwriter from what I heard. Some of the best songwriters need others to sing their songs (Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen) and I think BGT have missed a trick here
I quite liked this song. Ok, not the most perfect voice, but still ... reminded me a little of Neil Young. We need more singers like this, with a story and a bit of an edge. BGT is in no way able to handle anything other than the most anodyne of performances - ho hum, their loss.
This contestant Alyn James, told the BGT researchers before the show that he had mental health issues, that he was on medication due to mental health issues.
He was chosen to appear on stage to be mocked & laughed at, shortly after the audition Alyn James was placed in a psychiatric unit and deemed a serious suicide risk.
Well done Britains Got Talent for not exploiting a mentally ill man!
First thing i would like to say--that Amanda Holden---i wanna bitch slap the talentless bitch. IF you could see your pathetic 'comediies' bitch like WE do YOU talentless tart you would buzz yourself off..
As for the rest of them, the audience and this vile inhuman fukin show--FUCK OFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally I liked this guy, his singing voice is not great but he has a gentleness and kindness we rarely see. He was simply panned for being to deep for britains got talent...so almost a compliment really.
what a nice character he is, he had something original to sing with a story behind it and a happy ending.... hope you are good Alyn... thanks for sharing for your talent
lets face it the word he used is just Beautiful, for something like this song we need a voice like his, he may not sing well but his awesome look how he got the audience feeling. I can assure you I will buy this song if it comes out. we need a song like his something different cause im getting sick of crap songs that come out by famous singers.
I liked his song. Ok, he can't sing, but that doesn't mean he isn't a good song writer. Since when do all songs have to be happy? I'm hoping he posts the whole song on YouTube.
What's so bad? I think its amazing :)

The song was good, I don't know why he didn't make it. So many song do have emotion to it. That's mostly what music is about.

This is a hauntingly beautiful song and it really moved me. Kind of like a Neil Young song. A mesmerizing performance that deserved better.

There are sadder songs than this and I hate the"Britains got talent" type for turning this down, but still I would have chosen a more upbeat song.
stfugtfofgt 1 year ago
@fanofrauhl Agree - this song has a great melody and harmonics! Improve the voice a little (probably nervous on the night) and it would be a killer!
