Now he wants to shine as a solo star in his own right.<\/p>\n<p>25 year-old Ed is one step closer to achieving that dream having made it to the BGT semifinals. However, he needs to go one better and book a place in the final of Britain\u2019s Got Talent if he is to land a lucrative recording deal with Simon Cowell \u2018s record company.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight in is bid for that very goal, he sang Blink once more for the panel and received favourable comments once again from the gang of four:<\/p>\n<p>Alesha Dixon: Ed I have a lot of respect for you, because a lot of people in your position would have too much ego for that. That is a massive song and I take my hat off to you.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Holden: It must have been so frustrating to be behind the scenes. I just said to Simon \u2018I can hear that song\u2026 I want to download it immediately.\u2019 It\u2019s an incredible song, it tells a story.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Cowell: I know what the girls are saying and I\u2019m happy that you\u2019re here. I would have preferred for you to sing a second song. I think, what I noticed, is that your vocals suffer in your higher range. I wasn\u2019t blown away by the performance.<\/p>\n<p>David Walliams: I was blown away. It was brilliant and it\u2019s tough being a songwriter. I think you have the charisma to be a star.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/ed1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/ed1.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"ed\" width=\"570\" height=\"321\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7271\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/ed1.png 570w, http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/ed1-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* auditions 300x250, created 9\/6\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"7469702309\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/7263\/ed-drewett-sings-blink-on-tuesdays-semifinals-of-britains-got-talent-2014\/\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 1805371;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Direction\u2019s song writer Ed Drewett has had quite a successful career in song writing, after writing best selling hits for two of the biggest boybands in the UK.
