Blissed out


The bliss of sleep perhaps. Her performance the dream to prevent her waking up. We dream to continue sleeping, or sometimes we wake to continue dreaming.

Here she gets her second chance, and her performance so shallow, so pointless, even for Britain's Got Talent. The detail is in the judges though, the comments saying (or her interpretation of them, her secondary revision) that if she'd stuck to the original mode of performance. She had (again, in her interpretation) sold out, changed her act to reflect what she thought others had wanted, demanded, desired (ceded in regard to her desire?), in the process ruining the act.
 
So she's out of Britain's Got Talent. And yet not been judged. Her "true" act, her true self has not been judged, she still has the comfort of knowing she could have done it, could have won it, if only she'd stayed true. In essence she hasn't commited anything of herself to this performance. She still had the purity of the act. She can still dream of one day winning Britain's Got Talent with her one true act.

Her call back to the semi was not so much her chance to make it, but her chance (given the 3 nos of her first audition, her only chance) to carry on dreaming.
