Yes there is. I assume they can only choose from the 5 acts who have been eliminated from the top three over the course of the week as Antndec tell those who don't make the top 3 and who are going home that it is all over for them.

How odd of you to say that. What makes you think such acts as impressionists are so dated? It is this type of close minded view of the more traditional acts that is holding them back and stopping them from breaking into the mainstream and allowing so many singers and dancers to advance and dominate. All the judges except for David seem to have this view that somehow impressions and other acts which are older in origin than performance dance are archaic and should be consigned to history and moved aside for the young generation acts. That is for me ageist. Anything where older people or concepts are rejected is ageism.

But it if weren't for the likes of Marie Lloyd I think Beyonce wouldn't be able to strut about. Music Hall and Vaudeville of the late 19th Century gave variety it's start which featured a wide range of acts. Not just singers and dancers. But also impressionists.

We need to give impressionists the same respect and chance we give any dance and song act.

I agree. Did you know five of the six finalists either sing or dance? Only Darcy neither sings nor dances. We have Collabro, James Smith and Lucy Kay as singers and representing the dancers we have Addict Initiative and those French gay blokes Yanis, Arnaud and Mehdi.

And indeed eight of the nine who are on tonight either sing or dance with only Jensen Zhu the one act who does neither. I am praying he get's through.

I think he is nailed on to win the wildcard even it is just to give a little balance to the final which at the moment looks top heavy with Singers and dancers.

The close minded and biased Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon though will to be honest not allow it. They try the uppermost to push dancers and singers and leave out the other acts.

As I said in another thread I do hope he gets it, but I can see it going to Jodi Bird unfortunately , I think the only way Jodi wont get it is if Simon thinks by putting another strong singer into the final it may spread the votes a little and his preffered winner may miss out, like the year Diversity won, as we all know he wanted Subo to win that won, so that will be the only way John will get in

I disagree. I think most of his impressions are spot on, and he had me laughing right the way through his act. I'd look forward to him making me laugh again in the final.

He was least funniest person I've ever seen and his impressions were awful. His Dec impression could've been any Geordie.

Hope so. I thought he was really good.

I really don't get the love for him. I thought the only good impression he did in the semi-final was Dec, and his material wasn't particularly funny either. Having said that, for variety's sake I wouldn't mind him being in the final - in the hopes that he could prove me wrong, as I typically love impressionists.

I'd rather the wildcard went to Innova or Light Balance.

I thought his Dec impression was the best impression in his entire performance.

He reminds me of Jeremy Kyle in looks does anyone else agree?
