"I'm guessing there are probably five, ten, West End producers watching this show now, like the guys who produce Motown or something." "If I was one of those guys, I would hire you tomorrow to put you on a show like that to kickstart your career." "Because your talent, your voice for a 15-year-old, is exceptional." "Thank you."

")  No, but it's good." "They were having a proper rave-up up there." "It was nice." "But I don't know, you didn't wow me as much as you did in your first audition." "I don't know why."

"I'm serious." "Get the decks together and everything?" "Yeah." "(CHEERING) David, did you like it?" "One word - banging!" "That's it." "That's it." "Well done, Dizzy." "And if Dizzy is your choice for the final " "One more time, Dizzy Twilight!" "(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)" "Right, time for a break." "I don't know about you lot, but I'll be spending every single second of this break on the Britain's Got Talent app." "You'd be a fool not to."

"If you're happy, say... (GROWL!" ") (GROWLS)" "(LAUGHTER) Ladies and gentlemen, watch very carefully, I will take this dice and place it inside the cup." "When I do, Ant will place his hand on top of the cup." "It works every time, watch this." "Oh, you're good!" "When I shout, Go!" "', Ant is going to shake that cup like a crazy lady." "Then, when he gets the urge (GIGGLES), he's going to stop shaking, take his hand off the cup, look down and see a number." "He will tell you what that number is and then he will collect his prize from one of these." "Ladies and gentlemen, over on this table, I have...(DEEP VOICE) the stick of doom!" "On this stick are six different playing cards." "Ant, written on the backs of these cards is something that I am going to do... to you." "OK." "(WHOOPING)" "Don't worry, Ant." "Just shake the cup." "(LIMBO MUSIC)" "Oh, he's stopped!" "What number have you got?" "Five." "Five!" "Whoa!" "No-one's ever picked five before!" "Quick, put the cup on the floor."

"Well done." "David, let's start with you, please." "Are you looking at me?" "Yes." "You've got a bit of a lazy eye, so it's hard to know sometimes." "(LAUGHTER)" "Matt, I love..." "I grew up and watching Morecambe and Wise, as these guys did," "Tommy Cooper." "I love this type of old-style comedy." "Family friendly." "You are a brilliant entertainer." "I wish you'd had a bit more time." "You were cramming lots in." "(WHOOPING)" "But it was so inventive." "You covered so many angles - physical comedy, interaction with members of the public, which is what they are!" "(LAUGHTER)" "I am!" "And also jokes too." "So you did really well tonight." "(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)" "You are very likeable." "You remind me of Jim Carey, in a really good way." "I love your physical comedy." "Family friendly and I can imagine you at the Royal Variety." "I agree, you almost need more time because I would like to see more of you." "(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)" "Amanda." "You remind me of the kind of programmes I was allowed to stay up and watch when I was a kid." "I think he looks like a cross between Lee Evans and Robbie Williams." "(WHOOPING)" "You make it look a lot easier than it is." "There is so much you are doing there." "You are very funny and charming and it was very slick." "The boys did a great job in helping you." "I would love to see something like this in the final because this is perfect variety." "(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)" "Simon?" "You are like proud parents, you two." "Come on, you!" "We are." "I said this earlier on." "What can you hope to achieve on the back of one of these shows?" "Boy, you crammed a lot in." "You showed everyone that you've got this force of personality where you can carry a show." "There are one or two people up in the gallery who work for ITV," "I would be thinking if I was them, and I was launching a new game show or something," "I would book you to front the show." "(CHEERING)" "I would." "What is important on this show is, where do you go?" "What do you use this time for in front of ten million people?" "DAVID:" "Eight and a half." "It was ten, combined, darling." "Consolidated, 12." "I think..." "(LAUGHTER)" "This is a great audition for you." "And I think people are going to get you." "Guys, great choice." "(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)" "Matt, very quickly, well done." "It would mean a lot the get to the final, wouldn't it?" "It would mean the world." "Thank you so much for the opportunity to come and perform." "It's been magical, and you guys are amazing." "I love you!" "Well done, Matt!" "(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)" "A quick disclaimer, we do get first dibs on all new ITV game shows." "To see Matt in the final, call..." "(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)" "Or vote via the app." "But not yet, you can't vote until we've seen all eight acts." "One more time, let's hear it..." "for Matt Edwards!" "(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)" "Get out of here!" "Now then..." "Our next act is a 15-year-old opera singer from Ireland." "Her little brother shed a tear or two at her audition." "And tonight she's ready for her biggest performance yet." "It's Leah Barniville!" "I'm Leah, I'm 14 and I'm from Meath in Ireland." "Like most other teenagers, I love listening to artists like Justin Bieber and Little Mix, but I love singing classical." "When I first started singing classically," "I had trouble learning the Italian aspect." "But in secondary school, I started Italian, so that really helped me." "I just wanted to sing more and more." "My first audition, I was so scared." "I could feel my knees shaking." "I didn't know my brother cried while I was singing until after." "I was like, 'Aww!" "That's so cute!" "'" "I never thought he was the type to cry." "A billion percent, yes." "Thank you so much for having me here." "I have always watched Britain's Got Talent and I've always wanted to be on the stage." "To be part of the semifinals, it's crazy." "Coming from the smallest village you can get in Ireland, things like that don't happen to people in places like that."

"You're so young singing in such a mature way." "You did all of your family proud." "Well done." "You have an unbelievable voice and again so confident for somebody so young." "I don't know how you do it." "It's terrifying just sitting here but being there..." "The audience loved you and I think the whole country will get behind you." "(CHEERING)" "You know what..." "Gob-smacked." "I-m what?" "You're gob-smacked there." "I wasn't expecting that." "You were good the first time I saw you, but bloody hell, that was fantastic." "(CHEERING)" "What I'm trying to figure out tonight is is that there is a lot of talented people tonight." "Personality is as important." "Sometimes even more important where you can combine the two." "I wish we could have done something with your staging that we'd done something different other than just violin players and a moon." "Because for you to pop against what you are competing with tonight you probably needed something else." "Maybe it was a different song." "I don't think so at all." "It's all about her talent." "And it's all about her voice." "I'm only saying this because it's gonna be difficult tonight." "Are you saying it cos you like the act?" "I think she was amazing." "Amazing." "Well... (CHEERING)" "It is all down to the public, not to us and I think the public loved that." "I thought it was beautiful." "I thought I'd died and gone to heaven."
