I was reading about the fuss Fabia Cerra stirred up this morning and from an audience of 11 million they had 39 complaints! Most newspapers called it 'numerous' complaints but 0.0003% is not exactly numerous I'd have thought
In the daily star today there was a picture of her without the union jacks - not a pretty sight

The Glasgow Daily Worker said 99.87% of their readers voted for Susan Boyal and 0.13% was all they found of the guy who was undecided.

Yip she was brilliant not as much talent tonight but the sax player was excellent.
I think Simon is actually the most honest judge as a lot of the others did not deserve to get through especially that camp belly dancer yuck.

Having just watched the 'highlights' It's pretty clear there were only two talented acts
.. and yes Simon, love him or hate him, is the only one to be completely honest
<wonders why Amanda Holden is even a judge>
My mistake, she is officially talented according to wikipedia
nominated for a Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance in the West End production of Thoroughly Modern Millie.
She is easy on the eye though, bless her little cotton socks ;o)

I did watch it tonight ( first time in a while) and the ear bloke, hmm, that's not talent, just abusing your body
Just catching up on some of those I missed and the singers are certainly throwing up some surprises
Susan Boyle, the one who you thought would wail like a cat on fire, but actually sang like an angel, was the last time I watched it
but I missed some other surprises by the look of it.
Little miss Okri, fantastic voice for one so young - and way beyond her years. Most kids of that age can't hold a note to save their lives and rely on the cute factor
Gregg Pritchard, I'm just glad he didn't make a mockery of his unique voice by dressing up in drag
And the bloke with the fancy guitar, he could definitely play - pity he couldn't sing though. He would have stood a chance if he just done an instrumental and kept his gob shut !

Three places that could have gone to others more deserving - and with real talent. Make that 4, I see the fool with holes in his earlobes is through too (and the first one out hopefully)

I totally agree with your choices Lynnrose that is definately the best list.
I would add Natalie Okri as well.
I missed it tonight but I will catch up with it online later thanks for the links Lynnrose.
Mikkh Oh how right you are when you said
"Quite a few questionable ones there, the geriatric breakdancer (awful), the ridiculous darth vader one and the silly woman who thinks flashing her saggy boobs is what the queen wants to see.
" So much real talent so how that lot got through to the final is just an insult to much better acts I would add the drag belly dancer to the worst of list he was horrible as well.

Probably the right two got through tonight, but it's tough on those who missed out.
I don't think we've heard the last of little Natalie though
