Can someone put it on you tube please? I didn't see his bit in the show tonight and what they showed in the recap was just him swinging his arms in a shower and frankly not that impressive, but I know he can do much more. 
OMG! George was just amazing!

There's something quite vulnerable about him that I think appeals to people. You really want him to do well (and not because of another sob story etc).
He has want Simon always prattles on about - the likeability factor.

Don't believe all what a contestant says on these programmes.
There was a lad last year who said he only danced in his bedroom before,but was well known on the competition circuits.
My kids have seen george in competitions and believe he belonged to a dance school

I have to agree I didn't get all the hype about him but tonight he was amazing and really did deserve it!

Why would it have been, even if that was more than a massive assumption like you're making? I thought his family was meant to be poor.

Very true, PLUS george's routine was incorporating a different style and was to a much faster beat. The comparison isn't a good one.
However I must say that I didn't think his routine was as sharp as his pervious routines, and what I've seen on him on YouTube. But it was still very good, and the style obviously worked.

Alot of the acts in the semi-finals have been in competitions -from what Ive seen scouting around youtube. But I dont think they are obliged to mention this. George hasnt denied this and it would make sense if he entered things before, why not? Im just guessing this is the biggest thing he's done so far..
There are so many similar type freedance style acts on the show this year that I can't tell one from the other.
However, what I noticed from George tonight was real heart and soul passion and he put his all into tonight's performance.
That's what stood out from the others and was the main difference for me.
I loved it.

I wasn't expecting much.
I was totally surprised, he was awesome

This is a really good point actually, and it's a point that's sometimes easy to forget. I thought he could have been better, even though I really liked it, but passion can capture an audience as well, and he has it in spades.

He was by far the most passionate out of tonight's acts and deserved to go through to the final.
However, I also thought Inspiration, Strike and the young guy, Charlie, were great tonight.
I liked what I saw of him tonight, but unless he puts the same energy and passion into the act on the final, then he will have his work cut out.
I actually prefer the majority of the other finalists chances more than his as I wasn't impressed by his first performance.
He has stiff competition and needs to keep up the energy and passion and also needs to do something original to keep the audience's support.

Inspiration were good (that's the three singers right?), but I'm not really sure what they were for. Sort of reminded me of the Pipettes, and even they have struggled a bit, despite being great.
Strike need to add something in there, because guys posing and doing some moves/mild gymnastics next to each other can't really stretch that far.
I think Charlie is totally overrated on here: he's cute, he's a good singer and performer for his age, but there was no way he deserved to be in the final with a poor song and only an average overall voice - there are kids who don't have to have people add the excuse of 'for their age'.

Totally agree there ... people appreciate singers a lot more as it is (even the average ones - Dean I'm looking at you too), and it will be hard coming up with an act as spectacular as tonight in terms of style.
It's possible, it would be nice, but I don't think it's likely.

I just thought that they were the ideal type 'variety' act. Not usually my thing, but they were very professional and I can see their appeal on RVS.

I agree with you. They are good, but like George, they are going to have to pull something else out of the bag to keep the public interested in them. But on the night, I was entertained.

It was the wrong song, but this young guy showed a lot of potential. I wasn't that disappointed in him as I could see by the wrong song choice. And really the others didn't shine at all for me. That's why I would give him fourth place tonight.

I have hopes for a particular singer that I like, but he has already been dissed on the ITV2 show, so I suspect he hasn't a hope in hell.
I think that Simon has prejudiced and bored the audience rigid and the singers haven't a hope in hell of winning........except for those that he has an agenda for and pushes forward

Oh they were very good, and very entertaining ... but to me they just weren't special somehow, they lacked interest.

The difference of course being that if George pulled out something really special he could win, whereas I don't think anyone would seriously expect these guys to do it ...
I've been surprised that they haven't interacted at all at any point. I mean they're martial artists, so I would have thought some fighting might be a good idea.
I mean I was pleasantly surprised that it was better than the audition, but I couldn't help think that it wasn't really going anywhere. Well, mainly I was thinking 'PHWOAR!', but on top of that there was the slight 'not going anywhere' thing

Oh definitely potential, but it's when people think he should have been in the final I just think they're seeing through cute-tinted glasses.
Cute would have got him through with the right song I think.

Lol obviously we managed to resist them just a bit
He was utter crap!
Just a skinny kid who flapped his arms around OUT OF TIME with any of the music.
I really feel sorry for some people here who can't judge dancing or singing and just base their whole judgement and wisdom on cuteness and sob story.
What is this world coming to.

It was just a rip off of Take That who did the rain shower act on stage complete with break dancing on their come back tour in 2007.

So what? All the dance lessons in the world couldn't make anyone a good dancer if there was nothing there in the first place
Anyway,it looks like the family barely have 2 pennies to rub together
I quite liked him doing the robotics, but then when he went under the shower thing and started 'dancing'. I was actually waiting for him to start doing something that would have me sort of drawn to him again, but I just couldn't get what he was trying to do under that shower thing. It just seemed like a sort of, well, mess really. The first part I liked, the second part I wasn't so keen on.
