Did Kate McCann sing in the choir ?
It is the Missing Peoples Choir, not her exclusive charity.
I would think by now, people are aware that Madeleine is missing, along with Ben, of course.
Were other missing people referred to ?
No, Kate did not sing in the choir but neither did Kerry as far as I could see.
I realise the Charity Choir is not Kate's exclusive cause but it just struck me as odd that Madeleine wasn't featured in any of the 3 screenings. Several other missing children/people were featured, including Sandy Davidson & Claudia Lawrence.
All sounds very mawkish, so glad I missed it .

For the uninitiated, this year's BGT featured the Missing People Choir: Kate McCann is an ambassador for the Missing People Charity.
The choir gave 3 performances during the BGT series, reaching the final which aired live last night. During each song the choir performed, images of UK children still currently missing were featured for the theatre & TV audiences to view.
Is it significant that Madeleine's image was not featured in any of the shows? (Ben Needham's was)

The other point I would like to enquire, if you would be so grateful, is whether you think they were good enough as a choir to reach the final?
I saw their first performance only. I happened to think, based purely on ability, they were not good enough to progress from that. I checked with my better half and got the same answer.
This had nowt to do with Kate or the worthiness of the Missing People organisation. It was simply based on an assessment of talent.
I do think the absence of Madeleine's image was significant but no doubt the vast majority will disagree. Time will tell.Thank you.
The choir achieved its objective by projecting images of missing loved ones to around 10 million people & made a few pounds for the charity in music downloads. Were they good enough? - based on the standard of acts which were voted through to the final, probably just about. From the little I have watched this year there seemed to be a dearth of true original talent. JMO.
For the record, the choir received just over 5% of the total votes cast.

In my opinion the high profile Madeleine campaign may be over.

One could infer she has been accounted for.
That is my conclusion as I can't think of any other reason why Madeleine's image was not included.
It may be that her inclusion was seen as unhelpful.

Do you consider Madeleine is less worthy than the other missing people?
Do you consider Madeleine is less worthy than the other missing people?Is it seen that the images were not representative unless it showed Madeleine,I didn't see an image of Keith Bennett either.
I agree with that, unless there is a major new development in the near future.I wonder how many times those words have been repeated over the last ten years.
In my opinion the high profile Madeleine campaign may be over.

Yes like the Kate and Gerry show.
What do they need money for ? if people are missing surley ten million a piece for each will cover a good investigation as if they disappeared in this country.. oh.. err. mm
If they are not chidren they can get in touch with police to get reunited if tht is what they want. SOME PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO BE FOUND.

The choir and the charity probably wanted to focus attention on all missing people. The media immediately headlined it as 'Kate's choir', which it wasn't. Perhaps the McCanns and the charity decided that leaving Madeleine out would stop those silly headlines.It's a reasonable interpretation. IMO. Allegedly.

I'm glad you added Allegedly. I'm not sure Opinions are good enough these days.
I'm glad you added Allegedly. I'm not sure Opinions are good enough these days.I was thinking the word allegedly isn't really good enough for you would then need to define who made that allegation.

Sorry, what allegation. I think I might have lost the plot.
In Sil's opinion I allegedly offered a reasonable interpretation of why Madeleine's picture didn't appear on BGT. I wasn't alleging, just suggesting a possibility.

Did Britain's Got Talent choir prompt police to reopen search for missing mother? Detectives exhume graves in search for 17-year-old who vanished in 2003 - days after her face appeared in moving BGT appeal
On claims the new information came following the picture being shown on Britain's Got Talent, he said: 'It is fortuitous, I'm aware it was on there. It did the same thing we are trying to do here today, raise awareness and help us appeal for fresh information. We want people to come forward.'

The police actions of course, are probably not connected to her picture appearing on the show. There are various permissions needed; the Home Office, the Diocesan Registry, the next of kin's of those buried there. It takes time.
As the policeman said though, it might help further information to come out.
Was BGT really the right platform,take the likes of Paul Potts,Susan Boyle who went on to fame and fortune were they really hoping to do that,why not go with some like of Gareth Malone to further it.
I watched a documentary about a man who was missing as far as his family were concerned, but was ;out of contact' as far as the Police were concerned because he rang his family occasionally. It turned out he had been taken by travellers and used as a slave worker on a farm. His phone calls were supervised (he was a vulnerable person). It took his family 13 years to find him and rescue him.That was cunning.

I wondered about that too, but it was all about promoting Missing Persons and not winning the competition.
The appearance of the choir on national television certainly had the desired result as far as one family was concerned, I hope things work out well for them.Teenager who appeared in Britain's Got Talent's Missing People Choir appeal is found safe and well
The boy, 13, called his mother after he saw the choir perform on the talent show

Brilliant news 8@??)(. Let's hope some more missing people come home.
Participation in the competition had positive outcomes for the charity Missing People. It raised some revenue and it raised a new public awareness.
There may be few or no fairy tale endings, but on the other hand there may be lost people out there whose families may at least be given the chance of finding out what might have happened to their loved ones.
