Elderly Singer's Got Talent

Monday 1st February 2010 - 14:01:03

An 81-year-old woman received a standing ovation from the audience as she auditioned for 'Britain's Got Talent'.

Janey Cutler wowed the crowd and the judges - Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan - with her rendition of 'Non. Je Ne Regrette Rien' by legendary French vocalist Edith Piaf.

Piers told her: "I've never heard anything like it."

A member of the Glasgow audience added: "It was that amazing moment where everyone realises something very special has just happened.

Amanda later added: This afternoon there have been no potential winners and no talent. It was one of the worst shows we've ever had.

"Janey was fabulous and the judges were blown away. She's the one to beat. Definitely."

However, it seems Janey is one of the few success stories at this year's auditions.

Simon apologised to the 1,600-strong audience in Cardiff for the lack of exciting acts they had witnessed.

He said: "You have just witnessed one of the worst days in 'Got Talent' history.

He told one dance group they were "appalling, awful and looked like a bunch of penguins".

Amanda later added: "This afternoon there have been no potential winners and no talent. It was one of the worst shows we've ever had."

Among the auditions were a dancing dog which refused to dance and a 71-year-old belly dancer.
