Before Diversity Abyss would of got through for sure tonight, but Diversity really are another level and Amanda was right that they've set the bar.

I completely agree with you, I really couldn't help comparing them to Diversity and Flawless tonight

Agreed. I used to like watching the streetdance acts, but after Diversity, none have even come close to impressing me as much as they did.

Diversity were phenominal. There have been loads of dance groups on since and none of them come close.

Any street dance troupe on BGT will always be compared to Diversity. The problem I've found is the troupes have tried to be like Diversity, as apose to being different and unique (as unique as you can be within the street dance category).

I would say Flawless are better than Abyss.

There are lots of different types of dance though apart from streetdance.

If a ballet group auditioned, they wouldn't get compared to Diversity.

Even if Diversity had never set such a high standard, I don't think Abyss would have gone through anyway. They weren't anything special, and the staging/lights and the outfits didn't really do them any favours either.

The problem for all UK streedance groups is that now that Diversity and Flawless are fully professional and doing big production TV shows and films with top choreographers to advise them, no amateur group is going to look that impressive. The best one I've seen since was Trinity Warriors on Got to Dance. From Derby too!

Thanks for posting that. I've never seen that show.

I followed the links afterwards to watch the 10 year old boy dancer - he's frickin amazin!

Flawless was the only other dance troupe I've seen on the show that can stand tall next to Diversity. Every dance troupe we'll see now though will always be in Diversity's shadow inevitably unless, they made themselves different in every way.

They were good, but not as 'magical' as Flawless or Diversity.

I remember Diversitys final performance and it was just unbelivable, the fact they beat Susan Boyle shows how good they were.
