For me this year it's a really strong final line up regardless of what people say.

However:

Danny Posthill is going to have to do some really unexpected and original impressions
Jules has got to have come up with a better story than the toyshop
The Neales have got to have another emotional video
Old Men Grooving have got to have their comedy heads on

All in my opinion of course

Who is everyone excited for?

Fun fact: I was going to audition for BGT at one point a few years' back with The Sean Bassett Show. It was going to be a stage sitcom with a exaggerated version of myself as one of the characters.

I actually applied to audition and everything.


It would have been terrible, though.

That actually sounds really interesting & funny!

Who were the judges at the time?

Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan.

Thanks for a fantastic first year on here guys

Do we know the running order yet? Tempted to put a bet on UDI to finish top 3 at 13/2 but not if they are one of the first acts on.

I don't think we'll ever top the 2009 final viewing figures wise. That got nearly 18 million viewers.

Nope, I don't believe so, I'll check all their twitter profiles to see if there's any indication though.

Sources claiming that annoying kid with the same song about falling for a girl despite being about 10 has got through as a wildcard.

And he's performing that song for a third time.

Unbelievable.

Can I see the source please?

Jules O'Dwyer & Matisse to win.

I would love Cor Glanaethwy to win.

Revelation Avenue for the wildcard *Crosses Everything*

Evening all and thanks for the thread.


And that final was very singer and dancer heavy. Indeed, there was only one act who wasn't a singer of a dancer (Julian Smith the Saxophonist).

I'd rather that than Jesse-Jane.

Am i the only one who wants Danny to be in the top 3

Probably not. I'm sure he has his supporters elsewhere on the internet. But impressionists rarely do well in the final.

As long as OMG dont win i will be happy.

That's my evening sorted.

My top two.

Winner Cor Glanaethwy
2nd Jules O'Dwyer & Matisse

I am deciding between two acts for the win

As long as he hits the mark then I'd love him to win. He's got the talent and his live show script was far better than his audition. I don't want a singing or dancing act to win.
