I thought she was great - I genuinely enjoyed her performances. It's not every day you see a sword wielding nine year old with all the moves.

The shouting and face pulling puts me off
But that's an essential part of the act!

She needs disciplining, no manners shouting all the time in an agressive manner.
As I said before, it's all part of the act!
If she was acting in a play she would have had to make the appropriate facial expressions and movements too.

I think she has amazing talent at what she does and at such a young age. Martial Arts are an incredibly disciplined thing and it would do a lot of kids nowadays good to channel their energy like this.It's not all about violence, and I think it must give kids a lot of self confidence. Well done Jessie, who knows we may see you in the future in the Olympics.

She would soon clear the street in a riot!

I thought she was very original by incorporating the disciplines of taekwando, gymnastics and sword fighting into her routine.....she fully deserved her place in the final

She was genuinely excellent at what she did tonight : I'm not sure you could even say that about some of the other finalists

Ah yes, let's all laugh at children getting upset. Why not top off the day by nipping out to kick a dog as well ?

I've got to hold my hands up and say that my 2 favourite bits of BGT this were the girl crying and looking like she was going to slice and dice the impressionist, along with the fat, ginger kid dancing like the lad at the school disco who's smuggled in some cans of Special Brew......

Is there something wrong with me?

Are you saying this ironically? What she does takes an enormous amount of discipline, indeed that is largely the point and you can't perform in such a way without it.

SemI final was brilliant and funny, on the night the routine was poor.

And Strike were a martial atrs group in the final in 2008. This competition is open for any act and any age. Remember in 2008 there was someone who did some skills with a football in the semi final and he was close to getting in the final. Also I agree Spellbound were good and their act was a sport.
Not to mention there was a guy chopping wood in the semi final in 2010.

Is it just me who thought it was wrong when Simon said "you could be in a TV show, beat everyone up and stab people"
Everyone is in uproars complaining to ofcom about low dresses- but I thought this comment was incredibly irresponsible to be honest!

Let her do her stuff in the Big Brother House. No-one would complain.

I thought her final performance wasn't as good as the semi, but it was still very good for what it was : one of the more original and creative performances in the final.

I could definitely see her getting a career in films when she's older.

Indeed, and we could possibly see her at the Olympics in the meantime. I notice Taekwondo (her discipline) is a full Olympic sport
