edit: oh no, i think ive posted it in the wrong place :/ can the mods move this to non-entertainment news? eek.. so i wasn't really watching this until the semi-finals- even so, it was the last set of contestants (there are different sets each week i think? and u pick a winner from each week to attend the finals) i was extremely disappointed by the set i watched- there didn't seem to be a winner there for me because although they were talented- they weren't anything special, you know the usual singers. the winner is supposed to perform at the prince's royal VARIETY show so i wasn't chuffed seeing the last set- esp. when they announced the last semi-finalists (a non-outstanding dance group and a bunch of violinists, who were wearing rather short outfits hm?) i didn't realise there were other semi-finalists from the previous weeks so i didn't watch the finals.... omg i regret it @O@ because the winner was this 14year old boy who was a "phenomenal dancer" (in Simon Cowells words) which must mean something because we all know how harsh he is, and his high standards. he auditioned, but didn't even make it to the semi-finals (live auditions) last year, but this year he won it =))) that's determination for you. but i also feel that some of the votes were because he was 14. if an adult did these moves it probs wouldn't have been as impressive simply because some of his moves aren't smooth/up to scratch but still, he deserved to win because of his determination and didn't get beat down from last year which is an impressive quality- doubly impressive coming from a teenager. i'm glad he won the show ^_^ tbh i think he did better in routine when he was in the semi-finalists, as opposed to the winning one. probs because he's still shocked from winning. bless so here he is: GEORGE SAMPSON 2008 ANNOUCING WINNERS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E2tOn-je3Q 2008 FINALS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kkFRPFghsw 2008's AUDITION http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R68HWoSOzko LAST YEAR'S 2007 audition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1bRAr7PdSk
yeahh!! george sampson! so happy for him to win! 'cos he didn'e get through last year in the semi-final. hehehes. Signature was awesome too!
I think the wrong person won, I think his dancing is very unprofessional, nothing different and I found his performance very boring. For the royal variety, I think the 4 women playing the string instuments shd have won, and for pure entertainment and originality, Signiture shd have won.
