A friend of mine auditioned with her choir I think it was, they got through to the next auditions but didn't get through those...

Wow that boy Andrew was really good
Me and mum were actually crying!! Amazing talent
I missed the last ten minutes. Did anything good happen?
I loved the electric string quartet, I've never heard electric string instruments before.
Yeah you missed Andrew he was an amazing 13 year old boy who sings opera

I was watching bits and pieces of the show as Marley was watching it while I was watching I'd do anything. The dancing dog was great as was the four girls playing violins and cello's. Andrew the boy at the end was brilliant. He will capture the hearts of the nation no-doubt.
Andrew is just a brilliant singer for his age, hope he can still sing as good after his voice breaks.

A married couple faced a dilemma at the Britain's Got Talent auditions after the judges told them to ditch the singing element of their variety act.
Sam and Vicky Lane, who perform under the name of Vizage, attended the Blackpool auditions and explained how they hoped success in the competition could change their lives.
"Doing the variety circuit is very hard work, we have always wanted to start a family but we always seem to be putting it off because of work," Sam revealed. "If we were to win this we could at last think about starting a family of our own."
The pair faced judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden and explained the concept of their quick change act, which sees Vicky working her way through a variety of different outfits at lightning speed. After they were invited to start the act, everything appeared to be going well - until Vicky started singing Madonna's hit track 'Material Girl'.
"If you had come out here and just sang that song you would have lasted five seconds, you are not a very good singer," Cowell explained afterwards. "If you promise not to sing again we will put you through."
However, the pair were stunned by the criticism and reluctant to axe the singing element, explaining: "We have been doing our vocal illusion act for six years and your are the first people that have ever said that."
Tune in to Britain's Got Talent at 8.05pm on ITV1 tonight to see if Sam and Vicky decide to take the judges' advice.
Britain's Got Talent sparked marital strife after a 74-year-old auditionee blamed her husband for her failure to impress the judges.
Dinner lady Brenda Isaacs from Hulton attended auditions in Blackpool, hoping that her years of experience of singing in pubs and clubs would serve her well.
After telling Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden that she could be the next Britney Spears, Brenda announced that she was going to sing 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' with a little help from her husband Roy, who had provided a backing track on CD.
However, the audition got off to a bad start when the wrong track started to play, leaving show hosts Ant & Dec with the task of finding the right one and rescuing Brenda's chances.
Though Ant & Dec eventually fixed the CD problem, Simon, Piers and Amanda were horrified by Brenda's vocals and quickly used their buzzers to end her audition. Unfortunately for them, a member of the audience then shouted for the presenters to try another track, which gave Brenda a second chance to impress the trio with a rendition of 'Unchained Melody'.
Angered over the critical comments she then received, Brenda announced that the problem lay with her "supposed better half" rather than her own voice and left the theatre on the warpath.
An eight-year-old boy who auditioned for Britain's Got Talent as a singer was given a second chance to prove himself - as a comedian.
Alex Lees attended auditions for the ITV1 talent series in Blackpool and soon stood out for his chatty and confident nature.
"I'm going to knock Simon Cowell dead," Alex told show hosts Ant & Dec. "I'm going to strut my stuff and show them what I can do!"
However, after Alex had faced Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden and performed his own rendition of Robbie and Kylie's hit song 'Kids', he found that the trio were not so sure about his abilities.
"Let me give you the good news Alex - you are probably one of the most confident people I have ever met in my life," Cowell explained. "Now the not so good news - you can't sing very well."
Piers and Amanda agreed with his assessment, telling Alex that he would have a better chance of success in the competition if he returned with a stand-up routine.
Alex and his mother accepted the challenge and went away to come up with new material, eventually returning for a later audition in Manchester.
"I've been practising every day," Alex told the judges in his second audition. "It's good I've left the singing behind because comedy is much funnier. I really want to win and I think this comedy act will do it."
This weeks repeats are:
Sunday 12:05am on ITV 2

Woop! Just seen my friendlings!! The Arden Youth Choir ; ]
They were very good, I liked them. Also the two supermarket managers, Alex, the 8 year old comic and the group Signature, those two were brilliant, as were a few others. Poor Brenda, her singing really was awful :lol: The quick-change act was good but I agree with the judges, she should stop singing.
All in all, I take my hat off to all those who have the guts to get up and perform in front of loads of strangers, whether they are good or not. :clap:
I loved the quick change act, I think that act is so cool and amazing
I love the Michael Jackson guy, he was ace.
I wonder how they did the quick change act :hmm:

Really enjoyed tonights! :D
Loved that 8 year old.. he cracked me up!
The quick changing act were very good and een if they were not very good at singing; it's good they stuck to what they do instead of instantly changing their acts to please 3 celebs.. I thought that showed real commitment :)
lol that 8 year old was funny, I was so shocked the way he acted, it was kinda scary the first time we saw him

Love the last George the one from last year, thought he was a true inspriation of how to do things. He didn't make it last year, so has been out with his mum street dancing to raise the money to go for lesson's, i really hope he makes it to the live shows.
The Michael guy was good, but i can't see what else he can do to make it better.
I think i might be the only one who didn't like that 8 year old kids.

Abigail.. it was on the America's got talent show... and done much better:
YouTube - America's Got Talent - Quick Change Artists
Thats amazing, how do they do that? Where do the outfit changes come from?
Just googled it and it says the outfits are attached by hook and eye, magnets and fish wire. She just pulls on the straps, removing the dress and the next dress comes down.

Is anyone else irritated by everybody saying that to be on the Royal Variety Performance would be a dream come true?
I'm getting fed up of all these auditions, they've been going on for weeks now.

I am, cos if it was a dream come true, you would think they would of went for it last year. But well I know thats not always the case, but it gets annoying.
I loved the dancers at the end.
Next year our dance school is thinking of going for it :D

Im glad the auditions are finishing next week, I think they have showed us to much this year and its getting boring
Two or three weeks of auditions would have been enough. Eight weeks is just boring. They must have visited every city twice so far.
Jessie Wallace
17-05-2008, 23:30
No way, the auditions are the best bit, the shows get boring intil the final. And also not everyone would have know about it last year, so couldn't have entered!

17-05-2008, 23:36
Oh dear. Could Wales have been made to look anymore rubbish than it was!
They had to include a sheep aswell didn't they! (even though Mimi the Sheep was the coolest sheep ever)
All the auditions from Cardiff tonight were rubbish... apart from the dancers at the end.. they were really good... but they were from Cornwall lol.

If I was Mimi I'd run off the stage too. Fancy dressing her up in pink. She looked like mutton dressed as lamb.

He reminded me of the Billy Eliot who performed on Joseph last year. They even used the same song, Electricity, which I thought was good.

I think he'll go far in everything tbh :)
I know this is a talent contest but I'm fed up of all the singers. There are other reality programs specifically for singing. I understand that going on BGT and singing is a much quicker and easier process than auditioning for X Factor but its so boring hearing people sing.
I prefer acts that are different and not conventional.

Anyone watching the Live semi finals
The dance group that opened was too boring for my liking, they should of put a group through that had better choreography
The girl with the dog, Kate, I still cant believe I know her as she went with my school
The guy with the Keyboard is mental

I'm so glad the dog act got through - that was my favourite act along with Signature.
I'm glad they chose the dog over Dean - Dean can go on to other things and be successful by other methods like entering the next BBC musical talent show or the X Factor. The dog act was unique and original and there were no other means of the act being successful on any other shows - the act fits Britain's Got Talent perfectly and I'm glad the act got through. :)

Well it is the Royal VARIETY Show. Singers like that Dean **** are two a penny. God how much up his own ar*e was he.
Vote for GIN:thumbsup:
A MICHAEL Jackson tribute act and a moon-walking dog stormed into the final of Britain’s Got Talent last night.
Unlikely dance duo Signature gave the Jackson hit Thriller a Bollywood edge, which judges agreed was one of the ITV1 show’s most original performances.
Judge Piers Morgan told Suleman Mirza, 29, and Madhu Singh, 34: “You are two ordinary guys doing ordinary day jobs and by nights you do this crazy, crazy act.”
Simon Cowell added: “This is one of the best acts because what you have is something so important – you have originality.”
Signature were joined in Saturday’s final by Kate Nicholas and her super show dog Gin. They did an impressive canine freestyle routine to the Scissor Sisters hit I Don’t Feel Like Dancing.
Piers said: “I think Gin is the best dog in the world.”
The judges weren’t so friendly earlier when Cowell lashed out at Holden, sniping: “You’re nuts.”
They clashed over Michael Machell, who played his organ version of the Star Wars tune on the first live show last night.
In scenes not screened, Cowell said: “Look me in the eye and tell me he’s got talent.” Holden replied: “He’s got talent”, but Cowell hit back: “You’re nuts.”
He said he would dread introducing jobless Liverpudlian Michael, 57, to perform at the Royal Variety – part of the ITV1 show’s prize.
He was struck with vertigo before last night’s show after he was put in a spaceship to perform.
Cowell, 48, also admitted: “Some of the decisions we’ve reached are verging on the ludicrous. There are two or three we should have said yes to that we might regret.”
He said it was “draining and exhausting” giving people bad news, then smirked: “Unless they deserve it.”
Eight of the 40 semi-finalists will perform every night this week. Ten go on to Saturday’s final.
Hot favourite choirboy ANDREW JOHNSTON, 13, sings tonight. Also performing are: the MANDY ELLEN DANCERS; contortionist IONA LUVSANDORJ, 27; THE CHEEKY MONKEYS – kiddie dancers Charlie Dixon and Krista Hyatt; singer KAY LACEY, 55 and organist HARVEY FRENCH, 71; dustbin drummers BANG ON!; magician SAURIS NANDI, 64 and dancers FLAVA.

Ok, yes it's a variety show, i just don't get how people can get sooooo excited about a dancing dog. But obviously it's just me. I agree a little about Dean, the belly dancer was better than him, plus he'll have himself a nice little carer from this now.
Signature was brilliant last night.. and I am so glad Gin and Kate got through
sindydoll
27-05-2008, 11:12
the dog was good but i thought dean was much better! i thought he would of gone through
I missed the last two acts.
The guy who played Star Wars... how the hell did he get through to the semi finals? Anybody with half a brain can learn to play keyboard. He seemed pretty angry at the end when everyone was booing him.
It seems all the men in the room get hot under the collar when Sophie was dancing :lol: Even Dec blushed.
Boogie Wonderland were rubbish. There was no enthusiasm, it was rather lame.
I liked Kate and Gin. What concerns me is where can the act go if they win? I can't see large crowds paying to see a dancing dog like they would Paul Pots.
The singer/drag act was awful, I didn't find him interesting at all.
Same goes for the lad who sung, he was boring too.
Kasple, last night's show (http://www.itv.com/CatchUp/Video/default.html?ViewType=5&Filter=20097) is on the catch up player. I'm going to watch the last two acts later. I really liked Signature in the auditions.
My vote is between Kate and Gin and Signature.
I'll just add that I don't want a singer to win this year. I've said before, there are plenty of talent shows for singers and I think this year's winner should offer something different. I'd much rather watch a dancing dog than listen to someone sing.

. The 'prize' for winning Britains Got Talent is a spot on this years Royal VARIETY Show so in the event of Gin winning that would probably be it unlike some of these wannabee pop stars who are looking to be the next No. 1

27-05-2008, 18:11
They probably put some c**p acts through so it wouldn't be AS hard for them or the audience to choose!
Kirsty :]
27-05-2008, 19:06
I am sooo glad Kate and Gin went through :thumbsup:
I think it takes alot of talent on both parts to create an act like that.
Just think at any one given time Gin could change his mind and do a Mimi the Dancing Sheep :lol:
Thats why I want them to win :D
Not just because it's a dog but because so much time effort and skill must have gone into that act.. and the fact that they have done a completely different routine aswell.. I just think they're fab :thumbsup:
Loved the dancers tonight, they were very good :D
Jessie Wallace
27-05-2008, 22:00
Tough choice for the judges tonight, i like both acts. I don't think i could have chosen, i'd have fliped a coin!
Tonight's show wasn't as good as last night's. The only act that I really liked was Flava.
Kay and the guy, whatever his name is, were boring. Don't quite know how they got through.
I thought the contortionist was going to fall, she was so shakey.
It was pretty obvious that there was twins in the illusion act.
I didn't rate Andrew, I don't get what the hype is about him. Same for the Cheeky Monkeys, they're just too much for me.
I'm fed up of all the dancers and singers. I want something different.
I think tonight was much better than last night and the dancers were very goof. I hope a dancer wins, cos apart from the shows for dancing, we never see much of it, theres too many singing shows already

I missed the first 3. I wanted Flava to go through, and Andrew. I think he's good.
But Cheeky Monkeys are adorable, and it would be sooo hard to say no to them hah!!
Tomorrow's looks like a not so good show.. I only really like 2 tomorrow!

27-05-2008, 22:46
Can't remember all the names (even though I just saw them haha.. )
but..
Strike ( Those martial art, dancing guys.. the 2 of them)
Charlie Green ( That little boy that sings.. sort of swingish.. )
A magic act... something with Fire in the title.. ( Husband and wife, had fire in their audition)
Urban Gypsies (Dunno anything about them, as I missed them)
George Sampson ( The break dancer who was there last year too)
Some singing girls.. 3 of them.. were in nurses outfits..
Can't remember the other one sorry. Sorry it's vague :lol:.
Hmmmm could be interesting :p
CrazyLea
27-05-2008, 22:50
I like Strike and I like George. Charlie is alright, but I think it's gonna be really boring :p Apparantly he's singing his own song? Or that was the impression I got when they were talking about him..
The Cheeky Monkeys
PATHETIC. Im not too fond of dance acts but lets face it FLAVA were miles ahead of the two precousious kiddiewinkies
Simon wasnt too long in working out how the magician did it. I think the bit at the start where you could actually see and hear the box getting clicked into position was a bit of a giveaway

I think they're the belly dancers who have everything covered up. They really do look like gypsies with their outfits. They didn't knock my socks off, I didn't see the point in belly dancing with the belly covered up :confused:

I wanted Flava to go through, but well done to the Cheeky Monkeys. My little sister was very pleased they got through.
Andrew is an extremely talented singer but he seems very very nervous.
Got a video clip I think you should see with people having talent you would all appreciate, I guarantee. If you could give me some tips on how to "embed?" I would be grateful (can't copy it, does not work).

Strike are awesome and incredibly hot. Don't just like them because they're hot though.. before anyone says :p I genuinely think they are awesome, and are incredibly talented. So far my fave tonight..
Strike stand out a mile tonight. Best act by far tonight.

Wooop da Woooop, he was fab, i wanted him in the final last year, and this year i want him to win the whole thing, yay, come on George.

Hoop La La were my favourite act of the night though and I was so dissapointed they didn't get through. :( There were some good acts tonight though - I thought it was the best semi final so far.

Last night was one of the hardest choices to make who should go through to the final as George, Strike, Hoopla and Charlie were all great. Charlie was let down with the song he sang. My favourite was Strike. It would make a nice change for a variety act won instead of a singer this year.
It was a shame about the song Charlie sang, besides the song he was great :thumbsup:
George was brillant so glad he got through :cheer:

Hoop la la was by far the most entertaining act... they really enjoyed what they were doing... that magic act was bad...

I just hope he can beat what he just did because this was just amazing!

29-05-2008, 13:26
Yeh i was thinking holy crap-a-roony, what can he do to top this. The only thing i noticed he missed from last night's routine was his hand spin i love that
I just hope he can beat what he just did because this was just amazing!
what I liked most about him is that he was looking as if he had seen something amazing, not actually done it.. he is so nice and he is self taught which is even more amazing
first time i've tuned in this week, for the love of god i hope them stupid little dancing girls dont get through to the final! they had grins plastered over their faces all the way through, so smug becuase they're on some too-bit talent show, they made my skin crawl! ewww :sick:

Shame about the quick change act , I liked that act

29-05-2008, 22:17
Well I don't really want a singer winning this year but Farell - my god, she was outstanding. What a voice for a 12 year old! Simply amazing. So glad she got through.
It's a shame the woman sang in the quick change magic act as I enjoyed that one and I think it's clever however they change costumes so quickly.
The other singers and dancers were okayish, but I thought the talent overall was better last night with George, Strike, Hoop La la etc.
I thought the comedian wasn't funny at all.
I was glad Farell got through, but I wanted Jeremy the fooyballer guy to get through too
Chloe O'brien
29-05-2008, 23:18
Ya Andrew the plumber from Scotland got through.
I think I need to watch the show on the catch up player. I liked Andrew in the audition.
What happened with the quick change act?
.:SpIcYsPy:.
29-05-2008, 23:23
I wanted Jeremy to go through too..
Tomorrow I DEFINATELY want Nemises (sp?) to go through, ok fine Flava didn't go through but Nemesis have too!
I am SERIOUSLY FED UP!!!!!! of the singing acts, come on! This is why they have X Factor and all that, this is meant to be a VARIETY show, okay, yes, singing is acceptable but there are just TOOO many in the semi-final/final.
Totally agree Spicy.
Personally I don't think Farryl and the other kid who sang opera are that great. Might be because I'm not an opera fan but sometimes I think that people vote because they're kids and to be able to sing like that is wonderful and they have the cute/likeability factor.
Just my opinion :)

I am not so sure.. Wednesday show got the highest number of call out of all the semi finals so far and George won that.. I think, like a lot of other people, that they don't want to see another singer win this so a non-singer will win this.. My money is on George
Faryl was totally amazing.. great voice and she is only 12.. I like Andrew Muir. simple humble guy who doesn't realise how good he is
Jessie Wallace

Dec: "I think there's going to be a spillage" :rotfl:
How did she get through to the semi finals?
Britain's Got Talent star George Sampson has vowed to pay off his mother's mortgage if he wins the competition.
The 14-year-old dancer, who lives with his single mother Lesley, admitted that he is desperate for the £100,000 prize because it would put an end to his family's money problems.
"I'd pay my mum's mortgage off for a start," George told The Mirror. "I'm doing this for mum. I love her, we're really close. I do worry about money, but I stay strong."
Sampson's mother Lesley said: "He downplays it because I downplay it. It's been hard for the last six months. The money coming in isn't covering the money going out. But you never know what's round the corner."
George's 19-year-old brother Luke also lives with Lesley, while their sisters Chelsea, 17, Emily, 16, and Rosie, 13, live with dad Brian.
"We hardly ever get together," George said. "With the money, I'd be able to take them away."
Britain's Got Talent chiefs have responded to claims that they are "manipulating" viewers to influence the vote.
Producers have been accused of giving their favourites an advantage in the competition by placing them last in the running order each night. In each semi-final episode so far, the final acts to perform - Signature, Andrew Johnston, George Sampson and Faryl Smith - have received the most viewer votes and made it through to the final.
Some viewers have claimed that executives want certain contestants to be fresh in viewers' minds when the phone lines open.
One fan told the Daily Star: "For this to happen once is a fluke. But it's happened four nights in a row. It just seems a bit fishy that the very acts which the judges have championed such as Signature, Andrew Johnston, George Sampson and now Faryl have all miraculously made it to the final."
However, a spokeswoman for the show insisted that the pattern is "nothing more than a coincidence".
She added: "The voting is all fair and balanced. It is worth pointing out that acts which have appeared early on in the show have been coming second and third in the public voting."
.:SpIcYsPy:.
30-05-2008, 18:36
I actually thought this was why some of the acts recieved the most votes... We shall see tonight..
But maybe they just save the best till last?!
wasn't really feeling that street dancing act just, nothing really special about them? their act was pretty repetitive?
CrazyLea
30-05-2008, 21:56
Yeah I thought they were pants. Flava were better. And if Flava didn't get through to the final, then neither should Nemesis! :p
Hope this sring quartet get through, cos Cellos rock :D
i want them to win, they are all gorgeous and they play their instruments so well, plus they performed a Bond song, always a bonus!!!

DaVeyWaVey
30-05-2008, 22:41
I'm with you Lea. Escala were absolutely phenomenal - my favourite act of the whole week definetly. I want them to win now - I will probably vote for them tomorrow. An amazing performance and a wonderful choice of music to play as well. I also enjoyed Nemesis and I'm glad they got through. So was overall happy with the result tonight. :)
I felt really sorry for the guitar guy and the singer (the 7th act on) they were clearly very nervous and I felt for them that their act went wrong. :( Atleast they had courage to perform in front of so many viewers at home.

The acts tonight were quite shocking, there was only two that were any good.
Very cheap shot by the producers showing Madonna's children when she was singing :thumbsdow: Too many sob stories for me tonight.
It's between George and Escala for me.
.:SpIcYsPy:.
30-05-2008, 23:32
I am sticking my George. I think Escala's first performance was much more better, they are doing that tomorrow for the final so should be good but GEORGE ALL THE WAY!
Glad Nemesis got through seeing as Flava didn't
COME ON GEORGE!!!!! Will be voting for him tomorrow!

Does anyone else wish they would produce more Talent/Variety shows like this ? - its good entertainment and not nasty/violent.
Chloe O'brien
31-05-2008, 00:41
My vote's for Escala or Strike. Its for a vareity show and they are both different and unique acts.
Escala were pretty amazing :D And how she plays a cello standing up, is beyond me :p
Chloe O'brien
31-05-2008, 01:04
I would like to see some of the acts who didn't make it return in a kids variety show of some kind. As Simon Cowell said tonight a lot of young people in this country get a lot of stick because of the gun/knife culture. Shows like this can give young people a chance to better their lives and keep them out of trouble.
As much as i loved Escalla tonight, it's still gotta be George for me, but they a very close second, i'd be surprised if it wasn't one of those two that wins.What I want to know is who will text us with the results. Escala were superb tonight

George To win I think... :)
That escala band thing were good but it the same thing all the time. Classical crap that always wins. Its called the Royal Variety so it should be a variety.
I think George should win easy. He is different and a superb dancer.
The song that Escala played wasn't classical, it was a Bond theme tune. The only difference was it was played with electric strings not drums or guitars and didn't have anybody singing.
Electric strings are very different from opera.

Have any of you noticed whoever went last in the semi finals would always win the public vote. Its like they always put the best acts last.

But it had to be George i would just love to see him win.

Btw it's great seeing you again!:D
Escala were amazing. I really like them, and i do think that if they won it would be good as they are different.
I dont want a singer to win, even though they are good but its always a singer.

Lines are too busy for George, shall give it some time..
What is Amanda wearing tonight? She looks like a chav :thumbsdow
Its going to be CLOSE.
I think im leaning towards Signature, i love them :wub:
Faryl and Andrew are both AMAZING, but i dont know if i want another classical/operatic singer to win.
I think to earn a place at the royal variety, you need to be a variety group.
For me its Signature, or Escala or George (in that order :P)
DaVeyWaVey
31-05-2008, 20:45
What a fantastic finale! I think it's going to be really close tonight over who wins - so many great acts. My two favourites are Escala and Signature though - both put in fantastic performances and I thought they were phenomenal.
Kate and Gin were also great so I wouldn't mind them winning. Faryl and Andrew (The kid) were outstanding but I don't really want a singing act winning this year, as Paul Potts won last year.
Andrew Muir - I didn't really like him. George put in a decent performance and I wouldn't mind him winning, but he isn't my personal favourite, same for Strike. The Cheeky Monkeys were cute but I don't think they should win. Nemesis were alright, but I thought their better performance was last night.
There is no way the Cheeky Monkeys should win, they are so irritating.
Andrew Muir was boring. Faryl and Andrew were ok, I really hope they don't win though. Andrew was really confident tonight, amazing transformation since his semi final appearance when he didn't speak.
It's going to be a close call between George, Faryl, Andrew, Escala, Kate and Gin and possibly Signature.
My top two are George and Escala.

I was surprised Faryl wasn't in the top three, not that I mind.

I thought the win was well deserved for George. He may not have been my personal favourite, but his last performance was great and he comes across as a nice guy and he's worked hard, so it's nice to see that rewarded. Well done to him!
I was surprised Escala weren't in the top 3 either.
Not really feeling that little dancer winning, he wasn't the most "talented" of the finalists, imo.

31-05-2008, 22:21
Not really feeling that little dancer winning, he wasn't the most "talented" of the finalists, imo.
I felt the same, I cant deny he was a very good dancer with a great determination and passion but of the finalists Escala, Andrew, Signature and Faryl were the strongest for me. Escala were incredible again. Though I was hoping Kate and Gin would win.

The ratings have been consistently high for this series.

Can't believe George won. No way was he the best there. Out of the three that remained Signature were better. IMO.

i dont think he should have won as he wasnt the best on the show and i dont think he should of been in the top two neither should signature. i dont like the oprah singing thing and i still think faryl and the other boy should have done better.
i know they wouldnt win but i loved kate and gin that is one clever dog and it is such a good relationship the two have, me and my dog voted for them lol.
George deserved to win.. he showed so much courage to come back after been knocked back last year and do it better.. I was so happy he won..
BRITAIN’S Got Talent winner George Sampson told last night how a devastating spine disease sent him BLIND in one eye.
But brave George, 14, vowed to defy doctors who have warned his torso-twisting dance routines could cripple him.
The youngster, who overcame his disability to scoop a £100,000 prize in Saturday’s final, insisted: “There’s no way I’d ever give up dancing. Nothing would stop me.”
The busking breakdancer revealed for the first time that he suffers from rare Scheuermann’s disease, a curvature of the spine that hits fast-growing teenagers.
And he told The Sun that the condition left him blind in his right eye for two months shortly before his TV bid for fame.
Recalling the terrifying moment just before Christmas, George said: “The eye was all inflamed. I’d been using Deep Heat for my sore back, so at first I just thought I’d got it in my eye. But I ended up blind.
“The spinal nerves were trapped and it affected my optic nerves.
“I lost all my coordination and it was really hard to dance, as I didn’t have my balance. I kept bumping into everything.
“It was really hard. There were a few times when I panicked that my eyesight wouldn’t come back. I did get really down.”
George admitted that doctors have warned him he should stop his beloved breakdancing in case it leaves him permanently disabled.
His show-winning Singing In The Rain performance ends with a flip which sees him slam to the floor on his back.
His mum Lesley, 39, said: “The doctors have said it’s not great for him to be breakdancing, especially landing so hard on his back.”
Even as she spoke, George interrupted to insist: “No way.”
But he admitted he now has to be rushed to hospital if his eye becomes sore – the first sign that he needs urgent treatment.
The live final on ITV1 – in which George beat dance duo Signature and choirboy Andrew Johnston into second and third place – was watched by a 14.4 million people.
More than 2.2 million viewers voted for the finalists.
That made it the most watched entertainment show this year. It won 60 per cent of the TV audience, easily outstripping BBC1 rival I’ll Do Anything’s search for a Nancy in stage musical Oliver! That pulled in 7.3 million viewers.
For George, the victory is life-changing. The lad – who failed last year’s auditions for the show – is lined up to appear before Prince Charles at the Royal Variety Show and will star in a Britain’s Got Talent tour.
But life so far has been anything but easy for George, from Warrington, Cheshire.
His mum Lesley and dad Brian split when he was nine. Sisters Chelsea, 17, Emily, 16, and Rosie, 13, went to live with his dad, while George and brother Luke, 19, stayed with classroom assistant Lesley.
Money is in short supply and determined George performs on the streets to pay for his £15 dancing lessons. He had to busk to get to the show’s auditions and even danced on Christmas Day so he could buy family presents.
He has also faced cruel taunts about the dancing that has been his passion since the age of six.
George said: “Kids called me a beggar for busking. I’ve also been called poof, faggot, queer, little girl. But now I just think, ‘I’m the one on TV, not you’.”
His fame has also added to his popularity with girls. He revealed: “During the semi-final there were 150 of them outside my home – just my luck, I was in London.”
He also revealed that he got up to behind-the-scenes antics with new best pal Andrew Johnston, 13.
The pair became close to the Harlequins, the pretty Irish dancers who reached the semi-finals.
Asked if any snogging happened, George smiled: “That’s for me and Andrew to know!” His street dancing is such a hit with shoppers that officials in Manchester threatened him with an Asbo for causing an obstruction. He explained: “I sometimes get hundreds watching.”
Sadly, relations between his parents are still strained and the family barely see each other. They were briefly reunited on Wednesday after George’s semi-final.
But his window fitter dad Brian, 40, was not at Saturday’s emotional final.
Brian said: “It was so difficult not being there for him, I was in tears. But it would have been very awkward and not fair on George.”
George now has two famous guardians watching over his career – show hosts Ant and Dec.
Ant told The Sun: “I shed a tear when George won, I was that emotional. We told him afterwards, ‘Here’s our numbers, if you need anything, you can call us’.
“We started acting at about George’s age and you remember how hard it was.”
Beaming George said: “Ant and Dec were brilliant. I still can’t believe I’ve won. It’s all a blur.”
Judge Simon Cowell may have helped George clinch victory, thanks to a last-minute switch.
He was to perform Staying Alive by the Bee Gees but decided to repeat Singing In The Rain, the brilliant routine which got him through to the final.
George said: “I wasn’t sure but Simon told me it was the best routine. He says he’s got something really special for me to do at the Royal Variety Show.”
He dedicated Saturday’s performance to his old dance teacher Royston Swanny at Birchwood Performing Arts, who died two years ago. The caring teenager has also pledged to pay his mum’s mortgage on their ex-council house with his winnings – although Lesley wants him to keep the money.
George said: “All I really want to buy is one of those cool, old VW camper vans, so I can go busking around the country.”
But for now he must return to school today for his mock GSCE in music. And George revealed he got detention for the first time ever – for spending too much time on Britain’s Got Talent.
The show’s tour starts on June 6 at London’s Hammersmith Apollo. For tickets, go to www.ticketzone.co.uk.
I hope he does not do himself any more harm, he is so talented, I want to see him dance for a long time to come.

George Sampson’s grandmother Joyce has revealed that he's set to be a backing dancer for Justin Timberlake.
The Britain’s Got Talent winner has impressed the US singer so much that he’s been asked to appear in a music video and go on tour with his idol.
'Justin had approached him even before he won the final,’ Joyce, 67, says. ‘He wants George to do a video with him. He has had an offer to work with him and go on tour and be one of his dancers.’
And she says George, 14, who is expected to make £1million this year, is bowled over at the chance to work with Justin, 27.
‘George loves Justin Timberlake and it's a dream come true for him to dance with him,’ she tells the Daily Star. ‘He was actually meant to be dancing to one of Justin’s songs [in the final], but the producers decided that he should do Singin’ In The Rain again.
‘He was always determined to make it and now he'll be working with one of the biggest stars in the world. It is like a fairytale.’
Lucky George
Wow, that's great news. Looks like his life has changed forever.

Wow he always said it was his dream and his goal to do that within his next year, guess he was just keeping it on the low though!
Well done, George, good luck for the future :cheer:
Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson is to have his life story made into a film, reports claim.
The street dancer, who won last Saturday's grand final despite suffering a spine condition, has attracted the interest of movie bosses.
Producers are apparently struck by the similarities between the 14-year-old's life and 2000 movie Billy Elliot, which revolves around a young ballet dancer who overcomes prejudice to achieve his dream.
A source told The Sun: "They reckon George’s story could be a perfect follow-up to Billy."
A film based on the life of last year's winner Paul Potts is also said to be in the works
A film :eek: Like a proper big film, like in cinemas or ones that just get shown on Tv?
It says 'movie bosses' so I presume that it will be a proper film.

Hmmm how boring. Wouldn't watch it.
Britain's Got Talent stars Kate Nicholas and Gin the dog are planning to tour UK schools.
The dance act will teach pupils how to train pets and are charging £500 for a rendition of their performance on the ITV show.
A representative told The Mirror: "We've sent letters out to a number of schools.
"We'll see how it goes, we had to think outside the box as it's not the type of act you can take to a nightclub."
Kate and Gin lost in the talent show final to 14-year-old George Sampson.

No offence towards Kate and Gin they were a great act and it would be a good idea to go around schools, but in reality no school is going to fork out £500 from their budget to acommodate this.
That's a good point Kath. Their act isn't exactly educational in respect to the national curriculum.
SIMON Cowell has signed up Britain’s Got Talent choirboy Andrew Johnston — and hopes to net another of the show’s singing sensations Faryl Smith.
He has identified the young pair as big stars of the future.
Andrew, 13, was left weeping after his pal, busking breakdancer George Sampson, beat him to scoop the ITV1 show’s £100,000 prize and a spot on the Royal Variety Performance.
But he will be singing Hallelujah from the rooftops after being signed to Syco Records, Cowell’s division of Sony BMG.
Simon is also keen to snap up 12-year-old Faryl.
She amazed him and fellow Britain’s Got Talent judges Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden with her stunning rendition of Ave Maria.
A source said: “Simon is talking to Faryl’s parents now about signing her. He thinks Andrew and Faryl could be the most gifted young singers for years.”
However, the show’s winner George, 14, has NOT been signed up yet.
The insider added: “It’s quite difficult with George as he doesn’t sing, that’s not his passion, so we are coming up with lots of exciting ideas for him.”
Andrew, of Carlisle, Cumbria said last night: “I can’t believe it — I’m so excited, it’s a dream come true.”
His performances have been viewed by more than 15million people on You Tube since he first auditioned for the show.
A Syco Music spokeswoman said “We are absolutely delighted to be working with Andrew, he’s incredibly talented and has huge potential”
Andrew joins sexy classical quartet Escala, the Britain’s Got Talent finalists who have also been signed up.
It's payday for Simon :lol:
IF you broke a rib swinging round a lamppost after being inspired by watching GEORGE SAMPSON win Britain’s Got Talent, the pain might have been worth it.
The wee street dancer has asked me to help him choose FIVE backing dancers for the first move in his new big-budget music video.
He has ditched the expensive, chubby and old BGT judges SIMON COWELL, PIERS MORGAN and AMANDA HOLDEN to call in my help instead.
Now we’ll co-judge the dance wannabes together — and we want YOU to enter.
I would say George rang me. But the little fella didn’t have any credit on his phone.
Shouting above the noise of screaming girls on his mum’s phone, he told me: “Sorry about my phone. I’ve used up all my credit calling girls.
“I’ve taken down at least a hundred numbers since I won. I need a little black book.”
He added: “I want to offer five members of the public the chance to appear as dancers in the video.
“This Friday we will choose our favourite five dancers to come to London next week to film the video. I want everyone to apply for this — as long as they’re cool. But I’m just glad to be working with a judge nearer my age for a change.”
Personally, I’ve got no time for the sort of dancing dogs, MICHAEL JACKSON impersonators and muscly blokes doing air-karate that BGT served up to us.
But I was chuffed for George when he won the show and landed the chance to star at the Royal Variety Performance next December.
And if his popularity after Britain’s Got Talent is anything to go by, his career is off to a flying start — George already has 500,000 pals on his Bebo site and a £15k-a-week security team to keep his army of fans at bay.

But hurry up — you have until this FRIDAY to come up with a routine then rehearse, record and upload your efforts for our analysis.
Ten finalists will be whittled down to five winners. They will then be named next Monday and win an all-expenses-paid visit to London to spend a day on the film set throwing their shapes.
There is no age limit on applications — so your embarrassing dads and idiot uncles can try their luck. But don’t expect them to get the gig.
George releases his vid on August 3, as a music dvd to buy online and in supermarkets and high street music shops.
And George, I’ve topped up your phone credit with a tenner.

Any of you dancers out there interested? :D
Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson has signed an advertising deal with NatWest bank.

The campaign will debut online and run for three months initially. Sampson's face will also feature on several bank cards.
