It always freezes around that mark and always takes a while to correct. The fact that it has nearly 1,000 comments after such a short time is very telling. It will be a massviely watched video. In the all time list like the original clip which now has 64 million views.
Every time you refresh that there's a whole page of new comments aswell, i can't imagine how many views it will have by the time i wake up tomorrow 
One of the comments from the video:
One last thing. I think it speaks volumes that the headlines from the major news sources here in the US do NOT say "Diversity wins BGT". They ALL read "Susan Boyle finishes second on BGT". Lol. In the text of the stories, one line will mention the winner, and the entire rest of the story is about Susan Boyle. Even in second place, she is the star of the show and the focus of the story.

Look I'm a Susan Boyle fan but she didn't nail it on the night and Diversity with their brilliant choreography snatched it from her grasp. She'll get a recording contract - no worries there as she has enough fans in USA. But Diversity were the worthy winners IMO.

Look at all the countries!
The downfall to Susan Boyle was the press! The amount of pressure that was on her, no one else had to deal with that. And all the bullsh!t from idiots that came with it, big deal she hasnt the best teeth in the world but i thought that was the whole point?
Everybody laughed then changed their tune now she has been criticised all week.

Well that's obvious - nobody knows of Diversity in America, and BGT isn't broadcast over there so it'd be irrelevant to lead with their victory.
Paul Potts' final performance went on to do nearly as well as the audition on YouTube - wouldn't be surprised if the same happens with this.
Are some of these comments serious?

Susan isn't well known because she's entertaining. If she was, what one would consider 'attractive', we wouldn't be talking about her right now. And once again, I don't mean to take anything away from her as I do think she's a good singer, but that's the only reason America is enamoured with her.

Yea, her image is part of why she's more entertaining. People watch videos on Youtube which entertain.
I haven't a problem wth Diversity winning this, as I think they were a great act on the night.
However the one thing that does strike me is that surely somebody might have considered the law of diminishing returns when choosing Susans song. Her audtion performance was a You Tube phenomenon and that performance hasd been seen everywhere !! So what would possess anybody advising Susan on a performance to win this show to just do the same again. ?
I think that if she'd done "Cry me a River" she would have walked it.
In fact, as I progress this thought pattern I am almost inclined to think that she and those advising her threw the fight deliberately to take the pressure off.
We'll see
