How did they not get through? It's a FARCE

An absolute farce that Light Balance. Incredible to believe, they were fantastic and I can't even comprehend the fact they didn't achieve a status of being in the final. This is not fair.

    My favourite act of the series so far, not through. Gutted. Didn't vote like, but they were so original compared to all 3 of these in the top 3.

    i thought light balance were a bit meh, the light effects are good but that is just technology not talent, the dancing was average, especially the lead dancer who is nothing special, there have been much better dance groups in bgt. as for describing it as a farce, not really, voters preferred other acts as did i, that is how a public vote works in case you didn't know...

    They should have gone through instead of bars and melody, the Irish dance group were my favourite act along with light balance. I just don't get bars and melody at all, what is the appeal:confused:

    The cynic in me thinks that is why they were on at the beginning and not near the end;-), those pimp spots went to Cowells chosen two....he would not want anything stopping that., all his faves to go through go near the end it is obvious.

    While I did think Light Balance would be in the top 3 I think three reasons why they weren't

    1. It pre programed lights during the act they are not actually doing that much just waiting for lights to flick in special suits most people could do that.

    2. NI got behind the irish dance group pushing them out the top 3.

    3. I think maybe people are gradually starting to repel foreign acts we already have two foreign acts in the final magician and French trio I don't think the public could stomach a third.

    Spot on. Cartel were better dancers. I think we are fed up of non british BGT - although that doesnt account for Los Trios Conchitas last night.

    It was a fine light showcase. The Blackpool Illuminations wouldn't be thought of as an act either though.
    Still would rather they be through than the 2 chosen lads though.

    Agreed. They were not creative enough. I found it boring.

    It was nothing special. The dancing was very mediocre.

    I was a bit suprised to see all those people raving about them on this forum. They were just average dancers with lights stuck on them. It was only technology that made them look good. Its not even original, its been done elsewhere before

    The public got it right this time

    They were in my opinion a better version of something you see at holiday camps and stuff. Same with the fire people - though the ones i saw in Egypt had the danger factor

    As much as I wanted them too, I wasn't sure if they'd go through to the final, but I was certain that they'd be in the top three.

    You have the people of NI to thank for that.

    I'd agree that there are better dancers in the competition, but there are also FAR better singers too, yet the majority of the voting public voted for BAM.

    You couldnt have a foreign group being in the final and possibly with a chance of winning,The Daily mail would self destruct!

    But they deserved a place ,they were in the definition of "talent show".

    I was sad they didn't make it to the Top 3. I knew Bars and Melody would inevitably go through (surprised they made it to America). My personal favourites were Lettice and Light Balance though.
