Balance and tumar kr should have gone through not the 12 year old who sings like a thirty year old, her singing is ok, nothing special. It's only because she's 12 she got through(I think she's too young for this anyway). As always boring singing acts get through.
She won the semi because she has a great voice. Her age is irrelevant.

I have to agree with everyone else, Tumar KR were utterly amazing and completely superior to Bounce who I thought was a bit forgettable. Ridiculous that they didn't go through to the final.

I hope they win the Wildcard vote, I will definitely be voting for them.

As far as comparing her to other singers whatever their age, she's same old, same old and boring. She got through because she's 12. There were other acts far better than hers that should have gone through instead of her.

Tumar KR were simply the best act of the entire series. I can't imagine anyone topping it tomorrow. As pointed out by many other posters, the reaction the judges gave Tumar KR compared to that they gave Balance showed that something underhand was going on when it came to giving their vote. The fact they didn't even appear to consider it suggests they were parroting their orders.

Unbelievable....the fact that the judges vote was a whitewash is a joke.

Easily the best act of the series and by a distance....it would be great if they win the wildcard vote but I reckon they'll get screwed again unfortunately.

I would not have had either of the two in the vote off in the final

What a crock of pish that was. Balance is the typical dance act you see every year. No originality. I hate when these dance acts play 10secs of about a dozen different songs. Just pick a song and dance to it FFS.

Can't help but feel they just played the public somewhat. They want both Tumar KR and Balance in the final. Tumar KR stands out more as a variety act whilst Balance's vote could be squeezed by Shannon & Peter and Jack.

Jack, as a child, has a potent vote base - especially as he's also Liverpudlian. But... create a sympathy underdog vote and us British cannot resist. They've just done that for Tumar KR.

Will it work? We'll see I guess.

Tumar KR group in 2011 became one of the most famous dance groups of the world in just two years. Their dance shows have unique, philosophical ideas and choreography, as well exclusive music and costumes. The Tumar KR group has performed at:
TV show Ukraina Mae Talent (Ukraine’s Got Talent) in 2012 – 3rd place.
TV show “Сesko Slovensko Ma Talent 2013” (Czechoslovakia’s Got Talent) Czech Republic and Slovenia – winner
TV project Dance on Russian TNT channel “Comedy Club Production” 2014
Russian TV show Minuta Slavy, Moscow 2013

This was from last year the same routine as tonight :

And now the judges decision makes sense! Thanks for the info.

No it doesn't make sense at all. Especially as the sword swallower voted through to the final has won BGT Russia, Semi Finalist on several other international BGTs including quarterfinalist on BGT USA which Mr Cowell is exec producer of.

I don't understand either.
Don't the judges always say that they're looking for something different and unique? Even the night before one of the judges said that they were looking for something unique.

Nothing against the Balance lad. Decent enough dancer, but we've seen it all before a million times on this show. It's a bog standard dancer.

If I'm really honest Tumar KR works because of the guy who's born genetically gifted that way. It will be largely down to the way he was born. It's not going to be training alone which allows somebody to do that. However, it's that feeling of being slightly disturbed and uncomfortable which provides that edge of uniqueness and plays hugely into how successful they are as an act. It's butt-clenchingly uncomfortable to watch, and that's why I like it.

Balance, nice enough lad, good dancer. But, you know, it's nothing that we don't usually see every round let alone every year. It's sort of run of the mill.
That sounds harsh because I don't want to take anything away from the guy because he has ability and you don't want to piss on someone's parade..

I just don't understand. Well I do partly, it's got to be partly because these judges are people who believe themselves to be the arbiter of tastes and standards, but they're actually quite bland and uninspired in their ideas when it comes to what they like. They're always going to err towards the side of what's mainstream and safe, and all too frequently, dull.

Simon Cowell claimed that he got their act and understood what story they were telling, but then demonstrated that he didn't know his arse from his elbow when he made out that their story was about zombies and The Walking Dead. Idiot.

Yes, and they stop, music stops, they make an ironic reference, and they start again.
It's not original or different like the judges try to make it out to be. It's like a BGT template for success which has been rinsed and repeated ever since Diversity and Flawless were on the show in Susan Boyle's year. Like the dancing equivalent of opera singers on the show singing Nessun Dorma and Pie Jesus because that's just something you're supposed to do on this show.

Tumar KR have far more views and likes on Youtube and Balance has picked up a lot more dislikes - looks like Cowell and his minions are not fooling anyone.

People supporting Balance are clearly in the minority here.
Judges gave a standing ovation, universal praise, yet put the mediocre solo dance act through.

Yep he may be a nice guy, but shouldn't be in the final because of it.

Not too sure the girl not winning would ruining grand plan, SuBo not winning didn't stop Simon making a mint did it? I think it was maybe to avoid any criticism over non UK acts in the final

Probably the most ridiculous top 3 judges result I've ever seen, farcical. They gave a SO to Tumar and high praise to shaft them, maybe they'd worry they'd gain momentum (part of me thinks they were only a few % behind Beau now)

But seriously, most ridiculous decision since the judges went with a bloody organ player over the magicians (before they were really a thing on this show) in 2011.

Just the most bizarre decision ever, no wonder ratings are dropping like a stone for finals week.

They need to go public only voting for next year and take the judges out of the equation.

Is it to ensure a higher voting turnout for the wildcard?

I've always thought it should be just a public vote.

The whole show is boring and predictable now, the singing child goes through, the street dancer goes through. Whilst the male singers who were as far as I am concerned far better than the girl didn't, and by far the best dancers didn't either.

Beau is no Charlotte Church and if Simon Cowell thinks she will make him money then he is more deluded than I thought.

In cases like this I say wait until the full results are published on Saturday night. I wouldn't be surprised to see Tumar KR actually got more votes than Balance.

this show is all manipulated, maybe those who are surprised by this result haven't seen previous series and think it's a real talent contest.

One thing that beats me is if they want kids to win the show why don't they just come out with a britains got talent kids or something then they can invite the whole entire field of kids I wouldn't give a crap as I probably wouldn't watch it? It spoils the show for me when a singer who's voice sounds 40 but in a 12 year old girls body wins, how about the adults who have been practicing and learning their ass's off even before she was born?? Good singer but nothing I haven't seen before and as for that dude that got through with some half arsed dancing well that's another story
