So the semi-finals have been leading up to this. The Britain’s Got Talent grand final, where we’ll see… some talent come out of the Great British public. It’s hard to believe it was only last year people thought I was George Sampson. Ahh, good times.

Well the semi-finals have finished and we have our ten final acts. Susan Boyle, Diversity, Shaun Smith, Flawless, Stavros Flatly, Shaheen Jafagholi, Julian Smith, 2 Grand, Aiden Davis and Hollie Steel are up for your voting tomorrow night. So how exactly did they get to the final?

Sunday

Sunday jumped straight into it with Susan Boyle winning the public vote and dance group Diversity winning the judge’s vote over Natalie Okri. That’s fair, I think. I mean, I’d hate there to be another singing act and, let’s be frank, she wasn’t very good compared to Flawless, was she?

Of course, everyone knows who Susan Boyle is. Superstar wondergenius who got the whole world talking just six weeks ago. I know you American’s went mad for her, where she went on Oprah over there just to give you people something to aspire to. Truth being, you can’t be any more of a legend the Susan Boyle is, even if people on Sickipedia think she has a face that looks like she’s been bobbing for chips.

Although, there’s a soft spot for Darth Jackson. I could watch that for days.

Monday

Oh look, another dance group go through on the public vote. This time, they’re Flawless and, to be fair, they were. It’s got good rhythm and all that and it’s nice to get something upbeat.

Shaun Smith – yet another singer – went through on a 2:1 split with Gareth Oliver who I thought was actually much better. He’s a ventriloquist (which isn’t a dancer or a singer, so good so far) and actually had an entertaining act both in the live show and his original audition. But meh. I’m not the judges.

Let’s just be thankful DJ Talent didn’t get through.

Tuesday

Today was a bit of a silly night. We’ve got another dance group going through on the public vote. This time it’s a laugh, and for that reason I love it. Stavros Flatly is something you just have to watch. So do that. Now. Click his little face.

The judges chose Shaheen Jafargholi – another singer – over MD Showgroup – another dance group. Okay, so the kid could sing and the others looked like I’d like to slap each one of them in turn, but I think they made the right decision this time just because I got to see the members of MD Showgroup cry. Ahah. Shame.

The weird one from Tuesday is hard to pinpoint because it was full of ‘WTF?’ moments. I’ll let you choose between The Barrow Boys – a wheelbarrow dance group – and Floral Highnotes – a operatic come flower arranging act.

Thursday

No show Wednesday, as ITV was busy showing Man United lose live for millions of people to see. It was worth it.

But Thursday saw our first act who wasn’t a singer or a dancer go through. Julian Smith is a rather epic saxophone player and rightfully won this show, I think.

Through on the judges vote were 2 Grand, who were a granddad and granddaughter duet. They were good, but again they’re just singers again. We already have three of them. Yaaay.

Thursday’s "Riiiiiight… okay…" comes in the form of Fabia Cerra. There’s something… not quite right about it. Watch it and see if you can find out. Preferably in an open area, where lots of people can see you watching it, on a massive screen, with the sound turned up loud. Maybe even throw a party to watch it together.

Friday

Aiden Davis (Who, every time I hear his name, immediately hear Alan Davis) won this time. Can you guess what he did? Yeah. He danced. He break-danced. Okay, so he’s in it for the people who liked me George Sampson last year and to be fair, he rightfully earned his place. But now that’s the… fourth dance act in the final. Yay for a variety act…

Little Hollie Steel got through on the judge’s vote. While she did beat Greg Pritchard on singing ability, she did cry and mess up her first time round. I’m thinking she was voted in for the sympathy vote. I mean, okay, that guy had a massive mental cape, but he didn’t do anything to get votes like that. *sigh*

Okay, so it’s a shame when the weird ones actually get recognised as good acts, but you have to watch Greg Pritchard’s audition video because you really won’t expect this to happen.

So there. Ten acts for you to Sky+ tomorrow night and fast forward to the results Sunday morning. Who am I rooting for? Well, naturally Susan Boyle. How couldn’t you love someone like her? Who are you going to vote for, I wonder…

One things for sure, though. I hope they do what they do for the X Factor final and get all the rubbish ones to perform again. I mean, that’s the best bit of Britain’s Got Talent. ITV, listen here, I will actually love you if you get Mr. Methane to perform again. PLEASE.
