Escala - Ditto above, except Bond - who have been doing the same act for years are way better.
Nemisis - One of the best acts - just need to polish it up a bit.
Andrew Johnstone - better than Faryl but would have been boring if he won. Will also probably get signed.
Cheeky Monkeys - meh.
Strike - good but very out of sync tonight.
Signature - would have been pleased if they won.
George won, he is fab for his age. He works hard at it. His family will appreciate the money. He is 14 - perhaps people should be ashamed of themselves for what they are saying about him. Utterly disgusting behaviour.”

Kate and Gin - a good variety animal act, would have worked well on the Royal Variety.
Faryl Smith - an astonishing voice and such poise from one so young; should have been top 3 at least. Look forward to the album.
Escala - no, not alone in this market but at the top end. Could have been top three but Simon will give them an album deal and great exposure. Would have been great on the Royal Variety.
Nemisis - not top three but the exposure will get them a deal as stage and video dancers. They are very knowing and will go far.
Andrew Johnstone - very good and will get a deal. Too similar to last years winner.
Cheeky Monkeys - Novelty child act, will get exposure on CBBC
Strike - Were never going to win but got the exposure they wanted.
Signature - superb but I don't see where they are going with this. Possibly into the Festival circuit which seems to be restoring variety.
George - talented dancer but needs schooling. An act based on breakdancing seems a little dated now. He needs to discipline a natural talent if he is to become more than a novelty act. Forever billed as winner of BGT 2008.
For me, Faryl was the clear talent.
Second should have been Kate & Gin or Signature, both would nave been superb on the Royal Variety.
Third would have been Escala or Andrew Johnstone.
The back story/class thing should not be allowed on what is meant to be a talent show and to my mind made the show a little tacky.
I got is that George is more talented that him
