Ronan: Why is everyone so sure he will win?
lovecat86

I'm not saying he won't but if we look at the past 3 BGTs, they were won by dance/performance acts:

George Sampson
Diversity
Spellbound

Not a singer in sight?! Subo was a hot fave but she was resigned to second.

I know Ronan is a kid and all, but so is James. James is also a dancer, and not even a street dancer but a contemporary dancer. I think he is being overlooked.

But that's the point, he is being overlooked - By the general public as well. If he does a good performance than he has a shot but unlikely. People will go, ah he is good and autistic! but I am voting for.... etc.

I really don't want another dance act to win

However, winning is not necessarily important - even though Subo didn't win, she has made more money than all the winner's put together, including Paul Potts. She is also very internationally sucessful.

...and people thought that freak shows were a thing of the past. It must be great knowing that even whenpeople realise how crap you are, you can always fall back on Gillette for a living.

I think I want the piano guy to win. Paul I wanted Edward or Out of the Blue but hey ho!

I love dancing but yes, it is getting a bit samey. Ronan though... he's so cute he makes me wanna puke I don't dislike him, but a winner? Please no.

I don't think everyone is so sure he will win. I would say he is one of a few acts who stand a good chance of winning, but no more than that.

It's been hugely manipulated for Ronan to win. Calling in the police and press releasing that story at the last moment so Ronan would be front page news is part of that manipulTion. He sang last on the first show also to aid his going through and to give him most time before Saturday to be professionally trained and rehearsed.

It is still down to the public though. IMO Jai is the best singer and Les the best overall act if they can do their best. Watch for great VT on Ronan's parents, bad editing on all other acts, 4 standing Os for Ronan and tears from him in HD ECU bang on cue to help him win. Simon wants recording acts, that's what makes him money.

Oh yes, no doubt about it, especially the four standing ovations. I think he still might not win, though. Even Simon Cowell can't force people to like him.

Remember what a hot favourite SuBo was but she didn't win. There could yet be disappointment for Ronan.

Win or lose tonight , the kid Ronan will be a success . either way you can guarantee he will have a number one single and album in the next 3 or 4 months or so.

I cannot understand what the deal is with this wee boy. His voice will break next year and he will be doing his exams and just growing up. BGT is about the adult entertainment industry - why is a child involved, I blame his parents (and them for making him into a bit of girl too).

he has no future and cannot do anything if he wins ( like media etc). This silly obsession with children being adults on BGT must stop, its a bit wrong.

Why is it rubbish? SuBo didn't win but had a debut album that's sold almost 2 million in the UK alone.

There are no parallels between the 2.

The only way I would like a dance act to win is Steven.

Because its fixed. Ronan might not get the most votes but as they will not be made public they can say he got as many as they like. Ronan will win because i believe it is fixed for him to do so.

I think they are made public later, XF voting figures are so why not BGT?

I think it may go the other way,do you remember that kid that cried last year? She got to the final and got nowhere.
The public aren't fools they may decide not to vote for ronan if they think its a fix.

Claptrap. Do you really think that ITV would go along with that. Especially with all the publicity this week. No way will results be released which are not totally accurate. ITV have been caught out before but as this is one of their flagship shows they will not threaten a cash cow of this magnitude.
