Probably the the most pointless, uncoordinated act ever on BGT.

Worse even , if that is possible, than the hideous clown and bear(s) act.

Not for me I am afraid. I have no idea how they have reached this far tbh, and I certainly cant see them appealing to the Queen.

They reached this far cause the force has been with them.

I speak on behalf of the nation to apologise to the Queen now if they win and perform in front of her!:blush:

Biggest advantage is that they can step up the game anytime, even hire Diversity / Flawless into that costume and they would instantly become the best!

The other dance act were so much more talented but put on first so never stood a chance. Shame they were excellent.

Herbert needs to sing Time of my life with them to be entertaining.

I said in the main thread that they need to keep the comedy quotient high otherwise it all gets a bit tedious. The Swan Lake section was great as was the Beyonce section from their audition. But dancing to Jacko is Darth Jackson standard - low!!

how can we be sure that they don't always change crew? it's an unfair advantage on the other dance crews

Completely agree.

Part of me would love Disney to start making enquiries into this act, cashing in on Star Wars is their USP. I can't see why Disney would really want their brand cheapened by a mediocre (at best) dance act on a mediocre talent show.

I'm sure Stephen Mulhern said on BGMT the other night that they're official costumes, so it's presumably all cleared and above board.

I presumed that would probably have to be the case.

I thought the polar bears were better to be honest, but they didnt have the Cowell seal of approval. Well, they did, but not as much as Boogie Storm.

It wouldn't surprise me if it were George Sampson and some of Diversity underneath those costumes. Their routine last night was mediocre - the Micheal Jackson thing is overdone to the max. Next time, I'd like to see something a bit more fun - seeing some Storm Troopers doing the Macarena would be something to behold.

This is the main problem with the act. There's no creativity, they're just doing rather poorly executed performances of already established dances (Single Ladies, Whip Nae Nae, Gangnam Style etc). I agree, there's more skill in what the polar bears did, and were actually more co-ordinated than Boogie Storm were. As dance acts go, Khanos Agoria, Jack were leagues ahead.

the suits are difficult to walk in let alone dance in - so no they could not swap dancers easily out of the suits they are very talented dancers but they are very limited by those suits - they are ok yes there are better but there are other dodgy acts who are through and at least they do not rely on soap story VT's agree the other dance group were better - but found Jack only ok too and very lucky to be 3rd

Thought the cygnet dance was brilliant - but they've had their shock value now

I didnt like their audition but they were my second favourite act yesterday I thought they were entertaining and fun and hope they do well in the final.

I thought that they were really dire, and just a joke act at best.

Rather like a Walliams joke. Pathetic and not funny.

Its all about the hype with them and the manipulation of the show. They have the 'simons golden buzzer' tag behind them so they must be brilliant right?
Of course they also got a prime slot in the semi final, a standing ovation and great comments from all the judges. It was all manipulated to get them through and it worked despite the act being very average.

I agree. I thought they were better dancers, more creative, more distinctive.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's those old men grooving in the Star Wars suits as it's pretty much the same act
