Can't see anyone beating them.
Attraction - everyone else should just go home now!
They are great, but its all a bit fake. There was an identical act in the US version a year or two ago (was it called Sillouhetes?), and its obvious Attraction have been "contracted" by the show producers based on how successful the US act was.
Right here it is. I used to be a Thai boxer. Not the biggest in the world but lets say you would think very very seriously twice when passing me in an alley in Glasgow (even though I would do bugger all). But I have blubed like a baby twice now seeing Attraction and unlike Simon not ashamed to admit it. They just touch my heart in some way. And if they keep doing that....

I know how contrived these shows are and the acts but the other shadow acts don't hit that emotional spot that Attraction do. Small but qualitative difference.

They are amazing but then again the Luminates (or whatever ) if they choose the right song could easily win.
My favourites are the two ' show singing' brothers , though .
They are by far and away the best act in it... however, I am concerned that the slightly xenophobic/tweenie/aahthecutekid voting public will not put them in first place.

Which i think is SImon's plan by mentioning it last night.
People saying oh theres other acts like it. No one said they invented shadow puppetry we all know its been done before even the League of Gentlemen did it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BL2_KB9Ioc) lol . But they bring the emotional content in a nice package.

BIB Bingo! I despair at some people sometimes.

I agree.
He's now got a week to get the media stories rolling to ensure they don't embarrass the brand by having a non-British act winning the competition. 
Who does Simon want to win?
I don't care if Attraction aren't British, they were superb. It's Britain's Got Talent (Talent belonging to or in Britain) not British People Have Got Talent!

Many people thought that no one would beat Susan Boyle either.

True but this year there is no one even close to the level of quality Diversity had let alone Flawless or Susan Boyle.

And Ronan Parke.
I see them coming 2nd.
I hope they win it. They deserve to. My other half said as he was sitting reading when I had BGT on. He said they were the only ones that he bothered to put his paper down and watch.
I was sitting and watching a football game online but had BGT on as well and Attraction were the only ones that I took my eyes off the football game for.

But that's the point people make, they don't belong to Britain, as far as i know they live in Hungary and flew here to be on the show. If it was Hungarians living already in Britain then that's a different matter.
I don't begrudge these foreign or non-British acts a place on he show, but then why is it called "Britain's got talent"?
If they win, all it's done is shown that Britain doesn't have talent, or at least not as much as people in other countries.
All this being said, I like them, and the irony of this post is that I am not British and don't live there either!
