The Britain's Got Talent live shows have started, and if anyone knows what it's like to take part in them, it's last year's winners Collabro. So who better to ask what they think of each night's show? Each day we'll bring you the verdict of a different Collabro star about the previous night's live show - and up first, it's Jamie Lambert.
"I think there was a general good feeling about last night's show," he told us today. "I was a bit disappointed by some of the acts. I don't think we saw the winner last night, but I think that the two that went through were fantastic and deserved to go through."
And if anyone knows how scary the live shows are, it's Jamie. "That's why some fall short during the semi-finals that were brilliant in the first audition, because it's just so much pressure to be on live...

The Britain's Got Talent judges made their final decision about which acts will perform in the live semi-finals in tonight's show.
After bringing the auditions to a close, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams had the tough task of cutting down 200 acts to just 40.
The chosen ones will join the five golden buzzer acts - Calum Scott, Boyband, Revelation Avenue, Entity Allstars and Lorraine Bowen - in the live shows next week.
As usual, the judges had several disagreements during the decision process, with David Walliams ripping up one act's photo to make a point.
Even when the choices had been made some of the judges may have had regrets, with Simon Cowell wondering why they had decided to put through Michael Late, Jeffrey Drayton, Narinder Dhani, Mitch and Cally and Peter Lambert.
As Holden told the group that they want to find something "unique" that will...

Update, 2pm Friday, May 22: The Ministry of Defence has now confirmed that the unexploded bomb has been removed from the scene.
"It is not the intention to detonate the bomb next to Wembley Stadium," said Chief Superintendent Mick Gallagher of the Metropolitan Police.
"Arrangements have been made to take the bomb to a detonation site outside of London, but I'm not at liberty to disclose that location."
Original story: The Britain's Got Talent studios were evacuated yesterday (May 21) after an unexploded World War II bomb was found close by.
The Fountain Studios in Wembley were cleared out by police, with acts including 'crumble lady' Lorraine Bowen reportedly among those ushered out of the building. None of the judges are thought to have been on site at the time.

Britain's Got Talent contestant Lorraine Bowen has revealed that she sparked a shortage of flour with her ode to crumble at the weekend.
Bowen got buzzed by Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden when she performed 'The Crumble Song' on Saturday night's episode, but David Walliams saved her bacon by pressing the golden buzzer and sending her straight through to the live semi-finals.
Speaking to Digital Spy today, Bowen admitted that the reaction to her audition had been overwhelming, saying: "Some people have said that the shops have run out of flour! And people have been sending me their pictures of their crumble. It's really nice actually."
She also revealed that she didn't actually know what the golden buzzer was at first, joking: "Whatever it was, it seemed very good at the time! The audience was going mad and the concoction of the sound, it went right through my body.

David Walliams has decided to send 53-year-old singer-songwriter Lorraine Bowen straight to the live semi-finals with a touch of his Golden Buzzer.
Despite receiving three buzzes from the rest of the judges, Walliams enjoyed Lorraine's rendition of 'The Crumble Song' enough to want to see the piano teacher perform on the show again.
Simon Cowell may have buzzed the act before she could even say "crumble", but Walliams's decision to see the act through paid off, resulting in a very happy - and a very entertained - audience cheering Lorraine along through mash-ups, DJ headphones and a falsetto finish.
Even Ant & Dec couldn't resist a little sing-along backstage.
"Listen to the people, Simon," Walliams urged his fellow judge as the applause for Lorraine's act continued before he pushed his Golden Buzzer, adding: "All I'm going to say is that it doesn't matter what they think!"
Crumbs, the #GoldenBuzzer for a song about puddings?...

Groove Thing - 7-11, South Wales

Tell us more: Now here's a dance troupe with a difference. We loved Groove Thing for snubbing hip hop and street dance and going full-blown 70s instead; it was so entertaining. Their choreography was really tight, they had loads of attitude, and they were so good that they were basically like mini adults.
