This is a show I've always wanted to make. This time we're looking for everything. Personally, I hope to find the next Siegfried and Roy! I promise this is going to be a fun ride.
There was nothing I could - and wanted to - learn in school. It was just a complete waste of my time.
I don't like kids that are pushed into things by stage mums, but when I can see they are having a good time, they're excited and enjoying the process, then I think it's wrong to discriminate.
I like the fact that they're cocky now from the age of four.
It was just an off moment. Their argument was he was entertaining. People like that - we can always deal with them later.
These two will never put you through to the final group.
I'm absolutely gob-smacked. I never, in a million, billion years thought that you were going to sing like that. You could sell a lot of records and you have the look of Ronan Keating. You could be very special.

Complete and utter mess. It was 'We Will Rock You, Gently'.
We don't want to spread any rumors here.
