The Britain's Got Talent Contract is Disgusting.

The contract where Ursala took Ariel's voice away was a far better deal

So now i know why Simon gets this odd smile when theres a great singer on the show.. It just means hes about to make a lot of money..

The shows dying anyway, all new talent is found on the internet now

My friend's niece was going to be on there, and they had to go sign this. She had to make their own way there. They didn't get to see the full contract, just an abridged version. A solicitor was in place to answer any questions. They also had an 30 minute window to do this. She had the fortitude to take her dad along who although not a solicitor, was very familiar with contract speak and basically told them to stick it up their collective arse.

This makes the Golden Buzzer seem like a prison sentence

This contract is basically like a 8 year old child saying you can’t kill him because he activated god mode

I was unaware slavery was legal in the UK...

The 4.2K dislikes are the people who has signed this contract, who are forced to do it by Britian's got talent

That's why we almost NEVER hear from contestants from shows like this.

Is this...Legal Slavery?

Took me longer than I’d like to admit to realise you were saying SICO and not calling him a psycho 😂

Its a Kpop star contract, its a slavery/life-giveup contract

Everyone saying “it was their choice/they knew what they got into” doesn’t get the point. The point is that this contract is morally wrong.

Basically, conclusion of this video: Don't fucking sign the contract.

as disgusting as this is, sadly its not uncommon. i know some contracts also seeps into your personal life, say, you arent allowed to date anyone so long as youre under that company its inhumane

"That British guy who insults people for money" Do You Mean, Gordon Ramsey?

“We won’t compensate you until you take us to court” next line “You can’t take us to court. Ever.”

SiCo sounds like psycho…wonder why

Who else is here because of recommendation?

I'm not a layer, But I've worked with legal contracts before and am pretty well-versed in what they are and what their value is. This contract sounds pretty nasty, but there seems a loophole in the wording that can be exploited to shield yourself from the worst part. The worst part about signing over ownership of your online content. What you can do is, sign ownership of all of your existing online content (Your youtube account and it's content, twitter, ect.) over to a friend before signing the BGT contract. And let him keep ownership of it for the duration of your contract with BGT. You can then have a gentleman's agreement with him/her (Obviously make sure that you trust this person) so that any profit he makes from the channel and the rest of your content gets sent back to you and that when the BGT contract ends, he will sign your content back to you. This allows you to make your existing tweets and online content untouchable by BGT because everything you've posted is your friend's content, not yours even though you produced it. By the wording you used, it seems to me that only standing contracts (Such as licensing) will make you illegible, meaning completed contracts (such as signing complete ownership of your content to a friend) shouldn't affect your privilege to sign the BGT contact. Other than that, make sure that whatever performance you make while your under contract is something that you don't mind losing the rights to. You should make an act specifically for BGT. Obviously you should still avoid appearing publicly or creating new content while you're still under contract but using this loophole (Which you can do with other content as well such as CD's and other publications if you want to be on the safe side) should keep your past content completely safe while you pursue BGT.
