Diversity, Stavros Flatley and Susan Boyle surely must be in final 3. Love the saxophonist and hope he does well. Diversity were immaculate in everything, Susan Boyle made me emotional and Stavros Flatley - well, what can you say? I laughed and laughed. Such brilliant feel good factor.

Amanda looks like a waxwork from Madame Tussaud's and Piers is just so rude when he hasn't got a clue about talent anyway. Simon is the only one worth listening to.

Excellent final.

I think she was, expectations were so high and she needed to make sure that she didn't properly mess it up.

be more specific in your rants please.

as a member of the public you have just insulted me.
and yourself.

I am not disgusting. maybe you are.

Spot-on mate, and they can salve their conscience too by voting for Diversity to keep Susan out.

Bunch of fcuking sheep.

I know, some saftness on here.

edit - i stand corrected.

I do hope she wins, Susan.

It's about personal taste, some people love Susan and some people love Diversity for example and differences of opinion and taste should be respected.

The way some people have spoken about Susan, her looks and now her personality is just disgusting and it says a lot more about them than it does about Susan.

People with special needs just don't stand a chance, the world is full of nasty, intolerant, shallow people too willing to rip them apart. I know only too well from personal experience and it's heartbreaking to know it's not going to get any better any time soon.

However, I don't think people should vote for Susan because people have treated her badly, but because she deserves to win for her performance and talent if that's their opinion.

Personally, I think I'm going to vote for Diversity. I think Susan's great but I preferred Diversity's performance tonight.

redhed... no.. because your not just being nasty... you just think another act is better which is fine.

xD

Yes I did. He was suggesting they were prejudiced against Susan, and I was suggesting many of them are salving their conscience by voting for a "diverse" act to counteract their prejudice.

They are the sheep to whom I referred. Tabloids feed them bullshit about an act they really wanted to hate.

OP - I agree on part - there is no need for the hate towards this woman - its not her fault, but I thought that Diversity were better tonight than her and that is why I think Susan should not win.

She's good yes, but there are loads of singers as good, if not better than her.

So she should win just because she was booed?

not Looked At Any Posts - Do Not Care - Shouting From Rooftops Susan To Win

The public are disgusting it they do vote for her...

a) because she isn't the most talented, and if you are voting for her you are being patronising

b) we should be embarrassed as a country if that's the best we can come up with and

c) do you honestly think you are doing her any favours if she does win? She has clearly shown that she can't cope with the situation, that's before the money men get to her....

I have no favourites among the others, but NO, NO, NO.

some of the public turned slightly when they realised she is not a brilliant singer and felt they had been mislead. This is not Susan's fault but something that could easily have been addressed if the judges had not gone OTT about her semi-final performance which was not worthy of a final place. I have a friend who believes Susan should win because someone who looks and acts like her has a nice voice and it is so unusual. It's not unusual, there are alot of plain people or learning disabled that can sing. I feel she is being horribly patronized and it is all going to come crashing down on someone not mentally equipped to handle or understand it.

By that logic none of the acts should win, there are better people at what each of them do.

One act tonight delivered under unprecedented pressure. That's the one who deserves to win.

i watched susan boyle tonight and thought, is that it? is that the total sum of this "amazing" talent? she stood there stock still, eyes practically closed, knocking out a song she's been singing for the last twenty years possibly.

and it was basically a decent end-of-pier standard. nothing remarkable, innovative or spontaneous. it was safe, dull and dreary.

so if that critique makes me disgusting, i don't want to be not disgusting. i'm perfectly happy being disgustingly able to discern hype and manipulation.

How clever you are.

I have to agree that the British are a rather nasty lot of people. They build you up if you are the underdog and as soon as you are up there they want to knock you down.
What is is with our country that we have to be so nasty. Susan Boyle is a simple (I don't mean idiot for nasty minded people, I mean pleasant and unspoilt) woman with a lovely voice. Beauty isn't in make-up and plastic it comes from within. How sad are those people who call her ugly. They, by their very comments, are the ugly people. Give me simplicity, honesty and down to earth people any day.

I am sure people booed Piers because the audience is filled with family and friends of all the acts appearing. It was aimed at his blatant attempt to influence judging rather than the fact it was Susan he mentioned. They would have booed whoever he said that about. And quite rightly.

Thats your opinion.

BTW - they were all under pressure tonight.

I preferred Diversity - am I a bad person then.

They were booing Piers not Susan per se. Remember there are a lot of family and friends of all the other finalists in the audience.

Susan is good but in no way the best tonite imo. Both Diversity and Flawless were brilliant and Diversity were the best.

A final 3 of Susan Boyle Stavros Flatley & Diversity.

No one is under the pressure Boyle is. If you can't understand that you shouldn't really be commenting on it.

MMMMM........or maybe they booed cuz they thought piers might of been trying to sway the vote, we don't know ......lots of speculation but who care really, oh yeh the one's that are moaning care .

So to like someone is patronising. We should be embarrassed. And she clearly can't cope with the situation.

Now why would that be? Ah that's right, because you read it in a newspaper. How silly of me. Newspapers always report facts and don't like to tell stories that don't sell more copies. And we, the general public, are obviously not as clever or discerning as yourself because if we vote for someone we like we're patronising.
Do you know, YOU are actually the sort of person who is making our country a nasty place in which to live. This is a talent contest you sad person. It's for amateurs not professionals.
Try being pleasant for a change and you may notice more people actually might like you rather than tolerate you.

Confusing ....and why exactley

Susan easily wiped the floor with all the other singers tonight imo. I think Diversity topped her performance though.
