They would make worthy winners without any doubt however the early favorite act always seems to finish 2nd every year with the exception of the SpellBound year.
Does anyone think that Attraction won't win?

Tbh as much as I want jack to win. I don't think they will. They have very limited space now into what they can do. All it is, is a shadow act and it wil become repetitive.
It all depends on where they are slotted, and comments. Even if they went on first they could stil win it as the act is on the people's minds. But overall I think there overated and I don't think they will win.

I agree. The winner will probably be someone like Richard and Adam, who have been rather left behind as the semi-finals progressed but are bound to impress on the final night. Previous winners I'd kind of forgotten about at the time were Jai MacDowall and Spellbound.

They might not.
I remember Escala a few years ago looking like they may win. But they didn't even made the top three.
And what about Susan Boyle, the hot favourite? I think most people would have thought it almost impossible for her to not win. But she didn't.
I think there's a very good chance that Attraction will win. I think they probably will. But going by previous experiences in this show I wouldn't be surprised if they just make 2nd or 3rd.

I think Attraction are very good at what they do and a lot of people like them. I also think that they need to vary their repertoire as the pulling at the heartstrings will get very wearing after a while. I couldn't imagine going to a show of theirs and sitting through hours of tear jerking stuff.
I think the freshness of Attraction up against a line-up lacking any real diversity will help them get votes.
Though there may be some people who think a British act should win the show, but then there'll also be those who want to prove that Britain is open-minded and welcoming to others.
In the past the voters have shown they have a tendency not to choose the child acts, like Connie Talbot or Ronan Parke, even if they're the favourite to win and being shoved down our throats. And this line-up is heaving with kids.

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if either Attraction or Jack didn't win I can see someone like Richard and Adam or Luminites pulling a shocker and winning .
Its who will come second to be honest. Attraction are miles ahead of everyone else, and the only way they can lose it is if they mess up their routine which i cant see happening.
I'd like them to win, but stranger things have happened in the past. As was stated earlier, Susan Boyle was tipped for the first place and she came second.
I can see Richard and Adam or Jack possibly winning. I won't mind either of those two, just please not that bunch of screaming kids, can you imagine the noise? LOL!

Cowell's agenda is to promote an act to victory that will make him money. Therefore expect the vocal acts, especially Luminites (where there is quite obviously a hidden agenda) to be given every advantage.
I expect Attaction to be thrown under the bus, put in an early slot and the judges to say that 'they didn't enjoy this performance as much as the previous two'.

This is one of the other reasons which leads me to believe that they won't win although I think the best act should win regardless of the nationality not saying that they actaully are the best I am yet to decide on a favorite however I think I will make my choice after Saturdays final performance show anyways getting back on topic there are a lot of viewers who have been pointing out that the show is called Britain's Got Talent I think this alone is enough to stop them from winning.
They have definitely won, its a no brainer really especially with all the samey singers in the final. Attraction will walk it.
They would pull in more votes by repeating their audition piece and having the reclusive Emeli Sandé join them to sing live on stage.

I thought that the Luminites were really good in their first audition.
But very dreary in their next one.
It's like anyone Simon Cowell gets his hands on. As they progress they get ever more bland and insipid as he gradually removes all traces of soul from them.
It's almost as if he spots anyone with the X factor and then makes it his goal to remove that X factor from them.

I kind of agree with this post, But then we did have the dog winning last year!:yawn: So cowell still had to promote the dog, Hence the Autobiography

I don't know why anyone would forget Spelbound as they've done quite a lot since their win. They've appeared at the Olympics, broken a world record, and even Ant & Dec performed with them.
Jai clearly wasn't a favorite to win. I think people voted for him, clearly because they didn't want Ronan to win. Simon didn't even bother giving him a standing ovation after the announcement (until Amanda told him to) and he gave him a record deal way after he gave Ronan one.

Quite possibly. Subo was a hot favourite, and Attraction are still likely to win. But nothing is certain.
But, voters who like kids that sing will have a split vote, leaving a possibility for Francine or Jack.
Attraction doesn't have to win to accomplish what Simon wants them to.
A few years ago there was a group called 'Fighting Gravity' on America's Got Talent. They were something probably very familiar by now, but new then--a group that danced in the dark in neon glow-in-the-dark costumes, which made things appear to float in mid-air.
They did okay, but didn't win. What they DID do was create a new category of acts. In the next few years other groups, named Team iLuminate and Lightwire Theatre did similar acts, doing well each time.
Another example: Quick change acts (the magic acts where their clothes constantly change). The first of these to get on any of these shows was on AGT WAY back in 2006. BGT had a clone of that act the next year. Australia's Got Talent had one at some point after that.
The same has happened with these shadow acts. AGT had a shadow dancing group last year (made of children, actually) called The Silhouettes. They did well but didn't win. Simon and his company saw another opportunity to promote a new class of act, so they clearly sought out Shadow acts this year for BOTH AGT and BGT (AGT has a shadow dance group this year called Catapult).
The same will probably happen EVERY time something really new is found. For example, this year AGT has already had a "floating monk", who appears to levitate. I expect to see one on BGT next year.

Why is it that all these innovative acts come from other countries' versions of BGT and not the British version?
Why is it that the British version needs to copy what other countries do first before that type of act is introduced to the British version?
It makes it sound as if our BGT is boring in comparison.
Perhaps it doesn't help by trying to cram as many singers as possible into BGT which doesn't leave as much space as it perhaps should for these more interesting variety acts?
Bookies are saying they're the hottest favourites in the history of BGT and the chances of any other act upseting them is close to zero, so no.
As good as `Attraction` are, unlike singers they are not going to sell albums, so their future has to be in the theatre, and it should be kept in mind that BGT have made it clear that they are looking for worldwide performers to promote
I don't know about Attraction winning, but they should come close though. I think the producers are happy when singers win, as they will sell albums and are good publicity for the show. Hardly any non singing act has been remembered as much as a singer has. Maybe about four, but not many though.
