Me too. He's an ordinary 14-year-old lad with an exceptional talent, but he is not trained or experienced in public speaking. He was lovely with Andrew, though. I think he's terrific - a wee star. It's been a good night, Arty!

OMG, that's worse than that woman and her flaming kids - the GBP are such gullible wusses, aren't they?!

He did dance on the streets of Manchester, maybe you saw him.

Tell me about it. I am still emotional over Jodie winning and now this. We have such similar tastes - spooky.

Yes it has been a bliddy brilliant night's viewing. I don't think either Jodie or George thought they would win so their victories are all the sweeter. i'm chuffed.

And they both did it despite not getting the hype afforded the favoured ones. Most satisfying.

Another one here pleased for both Jodie and George. Fingers recovering from being crossed most of the evening!

There's nothing wrong with knowing what your passion is in life at an early age. Many people go through life half asleep, get a boring job and never have a dream to do anything with their lives. Good luck to him

The best for George would be offered free dance lessons with a top teacher and his money put into a trust fund for when he is older. If he is good, he has time - he should develop and mature first.
Simon doesn't seem to understand the needs of young people - that it is potentially damaging if they start too young, especially if it doesn't work out and they are rejected. Andrew suffered that to a minor degree today - it was sad to see as he seemed so much more confident and happy today, only to be left devastated. The judges and the press built him up too much and did him no favours. Without all that, he might have been satisfied with third. I hope it doesn't happen to George.

I am 14 and in one word, 'no'.
Though I have said worser things when I was around 9.

Strange I thought most parents did that without having to be reimbursed.”

Dome's right on that one. He definately said it just before his performance. I was gobsmacked!

Oh for god sake let me get my hankie out!

Over emotional rubbish!

Just the one simple question: Are you a parent or a teenager? (You must be female so that doesn't need answering)

You stereotype YOURSELF!

Oh well - youv'e insulted parents, teenagers and females in one post so that's about three quarters of the human race - well done. You've surpassed yourself
