I felt bad for him too. Once you go wrong once in that situation, the whole thing can fall apart, its really hard to get back on track and he tried his best even though it obviously made him loose his nerve as he made further mistakes and was panicking.
Its really easy to do in that situation, he was under rehersed and the nerves for the final must be massive Quote:
Well said. Only parallel I draw from YouTube is the use of pictures because some people on here can't/won't accept that when you are singing pop songs with predefined lyrics you can't throw in comments or catchphrases to make the impression obvious. I suppose they hail impressionists that don't tell you but make it obvious with the content of their act without seeing the hypocrisy.

He was crap. Most people would not have have had a clue who he was doing if he didnt have the pictures. Nearly all his voices sounded the same, it just seems he does most of them in a high pitched squeal. It was bloody rubbish.

![]() I thought he was woeful and amateurish in the semi final, never mind the final. It's astonishing that he won the semi. |

He only made one mistake, and that was only for about half a second, before he changed to the correct voice.

All the characters were the same as last time apart from shaggy and scooby.
He just changed the order. On that basis, and surely he must have know he wasn't 100% o the order from rehearsals, God knows why he didn't use a screen or autocue in front of him to remind him what was coming up next. Even Ant and Dec have an autocue. |

awful Then he looked back at the screen a few times, as the mistake had obviously thrown him, and that prevented him from making any further mistakes. Even the judges said there was ONE mistake, I'm sure Simon wouldn't have hesitated to talk about multiple mistakes if there had been. I think some people who don't like Craig anyway are using this as an excuse to exaggerate and say unpleasant things. As for the title of this thread, I think it would only have been "Car Crash TV" if the whole act had ground to a halt, which it didn't. |

its all been done before, a fact that simon himself told the act - to do something original
he didnt, and cocked up monumentally, it was awful to watch. |

I thought it was quite funny, but a good impressionist shouldnt have to tell you who theyre impersonating (I watched the semi final clip, it was obvious they went in pairs - Shrek/Donkey, Peter GriffinStewie etc), those parts were good

No, he made one mistake. He started doing Elmo, when he was supposed to be doing Mickey Mouse, but quickly changed it a second later.

I'm a Craig fan voted for him in the semi finals and wanted him or Richard to win however..... I counted two mistakes the first with the scooby doo/mouse and then one a bit later. Unfortunatly looking behind at the screen compounded the mistake. He could have had a auto cue but I'm guessing his whole act is done on timings and to be thrown off course would also throw any auto cue out as well |

You keep mentioning it, but not actually saying what the mistake was. |

He was doing a high voice that sounded to me like Elmo, when he was meant to be doing Mickey Mouse, not sure where you've got Scooby Doo/Mouse from.

Well I've never watched South Park, so I wouldn't know what that is supposed to sound like, but I didn't hear any other sudden changes in voice mid line, apart from the Elmo and Mickey Mouse one.
It's visable if you re watch but like I said I wanted him to win going in to the final. Love the variety side of the show and am one of the many who think singers ( over 16) shouldn't be alliwed |

The guy who sang nursery Rhymes was much better. To be honest I'm surprised that Craig even made it to the final.

Well, for starters he didn't crack on live TV in the same way Holly Steele did when she forgot the lyrics and had a massive tantrum.
Craig just seemed to forget the order of the voices in the second verse. They should have let Craig do the exact same version of Wrecking Ball that he did in his first audition. I.e. in the audition he sang the line before the chorus doing Kermit The Frog, whereas last night he started the first verse with Kermit. So they probably told him to mix up the characters and that must've thrown him. Or as we on DS call it "thrown under the bus". ![]() Anyways, I think Carl was a curveball and I suspect Simon (producer ) didn't expect him to top the public vote in the semi final and would've been third otherwise. I doubt they would've saved him so for that very reason I'm glad Carl made it. If anyone was the underdog this year, it was Carl.Ok, he forgot the order of voices for verse 2 but I still found parts of his act funny. If anyone does an impression of Stewie from Family Guy I laugh because it's just a funny voice anyways.
