Diversity Wins Britain’s Got Talent 2009

It was almost a foregone conclusion and when Diversity ended up in the top two on tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent with Susan Boyle I was sure she would win. We have been behind Diversity and Stavros Flatley all night but it seemed unlikely that they could overcome the Boyle juggernaut.
However the dance troupe triumphed and will go on to perform on this years Royal Variety Show, no one deserves it more.
However many issues have been thrown up by this years series and many questions need to be asked before the auditions for next year begin. After watching Hollie Steel crumble on last night’s semi final, we need to ask if it is detrimental to young children to be judged this way and put under this sort of pressure? After watching Susan Boyle come under attack from the media as she struggled to cope with the attention and furore surrounding her, does the show need to safeguard its more vulnerable competitors more stringently?
We’d love to hear your thoughts on tonight’s show and this series in general. Did the right act win? Should things be different next year? Leave your comments below…..
