Craig Ball - Rubbish
How the hell did he win. He was rubbish.
I didn't even know half the impressions he did. I still can't believe the Mimic Men didn't get through. They much better than him. |

Totally agree. I don't get the Craig loving.

The Mimic Men were worse and bordered on annoying. That being said, Craigs audition was far better, only his Peter and Stewie were any good on the live show, that Yoda at the end was cheesy as all hell.

Without the pictures he had no act. Standard muppets type characters we've all heard before, he sang a song lyric so no material, and without the pics couId we have guessed them, they were not very good even accounting for nerves. Meanwhile the choir and the little dog were top of their genre.
Someone said he has an online community behind him on the free app. Bring back paid votes! It's as bad as Euroderision. |

Not only is he shit but he is also an alleged plagiarist having ripped off his act almost word for word from You Tube videos

He was pretty awful, without the pictures, nobody would be able to guess who he was trying to impersonate. It's always easy to tell when you are watching a good impressionist, the good ones are the ones that don't need to tell their audience who they are impersonating.
The standard of this show has gone to s***. It's not about talent, it's about your age, how you dress and how well you come across on social media. |

I don't get all the love for this act, his initial audition was ok but he repeated all the same voices in the live final (which the judges usually criticise) and second time round it was just boring. |

I agree, he pretty much did the same impressions as last time, with about 2/3 different ones, and some of them were not good at all (Minnie Mouse for example)
Worst of the impressionist acts this year in my opinion |

They did the A-Z of impressions which is clever. They were funny. They didn't need pictures of who they were doing impressions of. If someone did an impression of Bruce Forsythe or John Bishop then I'd say about 98% of the viewers and audience would know who the impression was of. If you do an impression of Elmo nowhere near as many are going to know who it was. You need to appeal to the masses which is why the Mimic Men were much better and they also weren't as childish. |

In fact, his first video came BEFORE the whole Pixar Let It Go one that went viral and a lot of people claim he 'ripped off'. |

His act is really dated too. I don't know how anyone can top a poll in 2016 doing impersonations of cartoon / puppet characters from decades ago - Kermit, Miss Piggy, Shrek, Minnie Mouse etc.
Having Miss Piggy singing 'Hello' by Adele does not make you current or original or even funny. |

I could not tell what this was about? I think the Judges need replaced and Simon needs to take a few years away from the spotlight and keep in the background. It is not working.

So you think his impressions were unrecognisable without them?

With the exception of Kermit and Miss Piggy pretty much, yeah. I didn't even know what most of those sounded like anyway so I couldn't say how good he was
Probably more that you just didn't enjoy it, which is fine but not the same thing. For example, I hated the school choir but I can see that they could sing and might appeal to some people.

How can you judge his talent if you, by your own admission, don't know the characters he was trying to do?
