Britain's Got Talent Final Results

Post by **semperfiguy** » May 13, 2012, 10:02 pm

I just finished watching the finals of the Britain's Got Talent contest. It came down to a girl and dog act versus a duo act with outstanding young 16 and 17 year old singers. I am absolutely nauseated that the British people picked a dog to win 500,000 pounds and an opportunity to perform before the queen. What is this world coming to! The final performances have not yet been posted to YouTube, but the semi-final acts are posted below. You be the judge. I'm speechless and sickened to my core!

Ashleigh and Pudsey:

Jonathan & Charlotte:

Do you remember Susan Boyle who lost in final against young hip hop dancers. Who is still popular and has a professionnal career?

Totally with you on this one.-----But I know who has the fantastic career infront of them, Johnathon has the best classical voice i've heard in years, and i predict he'll not split with Charlotte because (as he confesses) he needs her to give him confidence to perform.
The bloody dog will be dead in 5 years time.
Hey ho, the british public have spoken

What ever happened to Diversity after they won BGT in 2009?
I think the same will happen with the dog act.

Many on here have been saying for a long time that the UK has gone to the dogs.

Diversity actually performed on the stage of the final show during the 10 minute call-in voting session. They were great!

It was bad enough they chose the dog over the phenomenal duo of Charlotte & Jonathan, but the act that finished third was a choir group of 140 young boys from Wales. These guys admitted to being wayward teenagers who had been assembled by this choir director, and for the first time in their lives the boys had some direction and purpose rather than looking forward to a life of gangs, crime and unemployment. When the choir director was asked what they would do with the 500,000 pounds prize money if they won, he replied that it would go to continue this ministry to bring new recruits off the street to keep the choir alive for years to come. So, the voters could have chosen Only Boys Aloud and potentially changed the lives of thousands of young boys in Wales for years to come, or they could have chosen the young 16 and 17 years old duo with the potential to travel the world for years to come to share their beautiful voices before millions. But, the voters chose a dog that will be dead in five years. Absolutely shameful! Which one of these acts do you think the Queen would have preferred to see? A clip of Only Boy Aloud follows:

It just goes to show the mentality of the voting British public .. Sad to see .

Without a doubt THE DOG (especially if it were a corgi)

As for the 140 criminals in Wales .......... perhaps the UK public have been conned too many times in the past to believe that one

I went on internet and I saw that Susan Boyle has a great career for sure...but "Diversity" the hip hop dancers, it's pretty quiet about their career...Hopefully the got one! I wish the best to everyvbody.

The future of the Valleys singing sensations Only Boys Aloud has been secured with the announcement of a three year deal with Principality Building Society that will develop the 200 strong choir throughout the Valleys and

the fact the winner was the girl and her dog, who have an obvious talent and appeal .. lets not forget her dreams have been made .. but no doubt we will see a lot of the other acts .. some of the acts were quite moving

I'm surprised anyone takes these programmes seriously.
IMO all the phone-in programmes are fixed. In the case of X Factor the record companies (Simon Cowell) know who they want and the songs selected for the finals suit the singer they want to win. There have been cases of results been being announced whilst the phone lines are still open.

I saw a dog following instructions given to it by an uncoordinated girl whilst Simon Cowell unbuttoned his shirt!!- If the dog had pi**ed on a Cowells leg then ripped out his throat it would have got my vote!!

This morning the wife and I were watching our usual morning talk show on Thai channel 3. They aired a segment on the results of the Britain's Got Talent show, and it seems that most of the world was disappointed and bewildered by the British public vote to honor a dog act over the future and well-being of the other "human" contestants. I personally still can't get over it. That says a lot about how some people really have their priorities mixed up. The world is truly turned upside down on it's head, and the sad thing is...it's only going to get worse!

Fox News recently aired a segment on a new airlines that has started up back in the States and now serves over a dozen major hubs. It's called Pet Airways, and they transport pets exclusively. Another segment reported that Houston, Texas is not experimenting with the idea of allowing pets in restaurants and bars in designated areas and times.

After the federal government forces states to adopt gay marriage laws over the next few years, the next thing on the agenda will be marriage between humans and their pets!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure plenty of US attorneys are already working out what they can charge for the divorce settlements
