Did Joseph Hall get a raw deal?

An incredible act. Thoroughly deserved a place in the final - he had talent and charisma.


What do we get - a bunch of over-excited, confused and tearful kids who will surely have lost all interest in show-biz in a few weeks or months.

To be fair, whilst I preferred him to the kids he's already had a bit of success - he won Strictly Dance Fever, and did he not say that he owns his own dance school?

Well, there's still the wildcard, I guess. They won't use it on him but we may as well hope.

Undoubtedly, yes, in answer to the main question.

We all knew the outcome though, as soon as the final 3 were announced. His only chance was to have won the public vote above the other two. He knew his fate, as did everyone else, when he was in a head to head with those kids.

IMO - yes. And it also wasn't nice seeing kids pleads so desperately on a non-fiction show like this (and I even had the mute on) as if their life depended on it. It was the first time I actually thought that maybe Bruce was right regarding his comments.

Those stage school brats should not have gotten through. Such a shame, Joseph is an accomplished dancer and really deserves a place in the final. I would of liked to see him put through as a wild card, but it would probably be that overrated Alice.

Not just Joseph. I think any of the adults have it tougher getting public votes against kids. I do think the 'aww factor' makes people like an act more and pick up the phone. Then there's the judges. Would any of them really want to make children cry on live TV?

I think there have been some kids on the show through the years who are extremely talented, but I also think that a lot of good acts have lost out to children who are average at best. The more I think about it, the more I think there should be a another show for children.

Of course he did, he was far superior.

The other aspect is that they have a lot more people voting for them - every single member of the school and their families on redial no doubt.

At the end of the day he received less votes than the top two. Therefore he didn't receive a raw deal. However so far he certainally deserves the wildcard spot.

I didn't particularly like either act, but I'd have put the kids through. I dunno what it was about Joseph, it all seemed a bit... dated? He wouldn't have stood a chance in the final anyway.
