wow close

Hmm ill take it with a pinch of salt.

lol probably more lies from simon cowell, i wouldn't put anything past him........

So glad it went Jai winner.

Ronan can now be erased from BGT history.

But is that Jai getting 2.5% more of the total votes or got 102.5% of Ronan's number?

Not a close as I thoughtit would be 2.5% probably translates into a lot of votes

I wonder if the pop star to opera star half hour helped sway things.

Although he is by no means as good, Subo didn't exactly disappear.

2.5% with 10 acts - pretty big in terms of actual votes I assume.

2.5% lead in a pool of 10 candidates is actually quite a significant win

will be interesting to see the full breakdown - and those of the semi finals

I think you'll find that it's Jai who will slowly... perish into the background.

Yes its not as small as they were trying to make out, there have been much closer finals in these type of shows

I didn't vote for anyone this year, as fed up with x factor, simon, bgt scandal, and to be honest no one was as good as previous winners. Ronan will do ok!

2.5% out of 10 acts is a significantly larger amount.
Could have been:

38% Jai
35.5% Ronan
24.5% between the others

Or it could have been
20% Jai
17.5% Ronan
42.% between the other 8

We won't know, and the 2.5% difference could translate to almost 100,000 votes,

Well they said 2.5 percent between the final two acts? But maybe they meant out of the total 10?

Quite a big difference then

I take it a lot of people voted tonight I was going to vote for Ronan, but we recorded BGT as I was at a BBQ.
