Changing What "Talent" Means Wasn't Helpful

"Mohammed believes - as does everyone I meet - that he is highly talented. This is not helped by production staff insisting he has 'raw talent', when quite clearly he has none.

The transvestite in leopard-print dress and black beret is also encouraged that he may go far: this is his second year here. 'We are filming,' he hisses severely at me when I wander past, already relishing his 'fame'.

Despite being unable to hear clearly (he's deaf with an inefficient hearing aid) or see very well (he's shortsighted and doesn't wear glasses) and definitely unable to dance, he genuinely believes he's got what it takes."
-- Laura Topham, making clear what beliefs are all about - delusional thinking - while covering Britain's Got Talent, in The Daily Mail.
