Yet they've sent home Michael the dancer ahead of the tuneless Michael Jackson's (or indeed half the acts which went through). 
It's not as if it's a strong year...
Quite a few of the definite yeses weren't as good as the maybes. In fact a few of them weren't even as good as some of the definite noes
The weakest lineup I've ever seen
And very horrible they wouldn't swallow their pride and put Razi AND Michael through
Yet they put through an eye popper, a daft old lady with an unfriendly poodle, out of tune Jackson 4...To name but a few
Can't see anything other than a Razi v Ronan showdown on Saturday if they are kept apart this week

It's like they've pre-arranged the final by putting through ten good acts and the rest rubbish, instead of creating an actual competition. Some talented acts have gone home so idiotic acts can wind Simon up.
There aren't categories in BGT like in X Factor where only the best of each category gets through, so why can't they put through 2 similar acts this year. Michael and Razi should have both got through. Michael lost out but he was SO much better than most of the semi-finalists that got through. In the past there's often been more than one solo dancer of a similar style that made it to the semi-final, so what happened this year???

No idea - but it seems very dodgy to me and it stinks.
I also thought it was very cruel how they made them watch each other's acts!

No idea - maybe they didn't want a Diversity v Flawless sitaution so dropped Michael but told him to audition next year?
I know joke acts always get an oppotunity, but there appears to be too many average acts (at best) taking part.

It was obviously to jazz up the end of the show.
Personally I think there are some very strong acts, and if the right ones go through, it will be a very good final. As long as the dance troups, the boring bell ringers, dog acts and the big eyed man DONT get through.

At least the bell ringers offer some variety though. And there's one good dog act there, though I don't think they're as good as Kate and Gin.
How did Mr.Popeye get through?

Dance troupes are always the cannon fodder every year, and almost always open the live shows. They're there to make up the numbers.
I thought it was ridiculous pitting two very talented dancers up against one another when they've sent through some truly atrocious acts. I can accept that the show needs variety but would anyone really have missed the guy with the eyes? That should have been ones of those one-off gross out audition clips - there's no way he should have got through.

Only one of them is half decent as well. The other two are car crash TV waiting to happen.
We needed a stricter judge to keep the panel in check. As it is comedy has overruled talent.
So annoying as Michael actually said about putting both of the dancers through but it was Amanda that said they couldn't. Agree with other posters that we get 3 or 4 dog acts and a one trick eye popper but can't have 2 talented dancers.
No wonder Amanda's talking about being dropped on DS news!

So the judges are actually saying that, Stephen Hall for example is a better dancer than Michael? Ridiculous.

Apparently.
This was never going to be the best series ever but the finals could've been reasonable had all the decent acts qualified.
It seems a bit ridiculous that they're talking about 'needing variety' and chucking out one of the strongest contestants when there are 3 dog acts (with only 1 actually good one) and 2 keyboard players, not to mention several dance troupes...

Perhaps not officially but they do try to put through a variety of acts so do attempt to choose the best ones from each category. That said, they always put through a bunch of duff acts who should not go through (eye popper, terminator, several of the dog acts).
Personally, I am not that fussed about either Michael or Razi. I have seen much better dance acts. However, there are some acts who didn't go through who, when compared to some of those who did, makes you wonder if the judges need to go to Specsavers.

They are entirely different types of act though. Stephen Hall is a comedy dance act. Michael is more of a weird body contortion style of dance act. Personally I enjoyed Stephen Hall's performance more than I did either of Michael's. Not sure I would have put either of them through though.
Tbh, i don't think any of the dancers should of gone through. Yes they're talented but they're not British, if im right in saying this is britaints got talent, we should'nt put someone in front of the queen and say they won britains got talent, best thing is their not british, it does'nt make britain look very good tbh.

There are 5 semi finals so it doesn't matter if they put a couple of similar acts through. There was no reason to send both Michael and Razi home and let three dogs acts through etc.

Putting through some of the rubbish British acts they did, doesn't make Britain look good either.

Then again, it would say to the Queen that Britain has not got talent...which is pretty close to the truth considering what we've seen this series.
