As seeing as it's run by the same team, I just hope they give me a chance to audition for BGT after I've already done XF. Might apply as a group as well as a soloist to give myself the best chance...would rather be a soloist!
Is it generally the rule that everyone who applies online gets a chance to audition or do you think they get selective? Going by your past experience?
I think they're going to be very selective with singers this time round as I bet loads of singers are going to apply after what happened to Susan Boyle! Damn...I'm a singer...but not just a normal style, something different (cos it wouldn't be that interesting for BGT otherwise would it??!)
Even though, yes I'm a singer, I actually dont think they should have singers on BGT, cos then it just turns into XF! They need more comedians this next series...and actors...!!

BGT don't care if you've already applied for the X Factor if you haven't gotten through the auditions - I'm sure people do it all the time.
I think, like the X Factor you can apply as both a group and a soloist, so go for it.
As far as online applications go, I think they do try to give everyone an audition, but they have so many letters to send out that some go missing and if they get too many applications then it's probably first come, first served. I have been to BGT twice before and have never not gotten an audition.
And you're right - it's always tougher for singers on BGT - it's a variety show, not a singing show - and they don't want it to turn out like another X Factor. Still, if you are a good singer, you have as much chance as anyone else and if they turn you down, it's probably not because they think you're crap but because they just don't want too many singers.
