Piers Morgan has said that Diversity were “very lucky” to win Britain’s Got Talent. Piers made no secret on the show that he preferred rival dance troupe Flawless and he added that they may have won had they taken to the stage first.

Morgan told The Daily Mail: “I think Flawless were unlucky to have gone on first. If they had gone last it may have been different.

“They’re both amazing dance groups. Diversity were just very lucky.”

I would have to disagree with Piers wholeheartedly on this point. Whilst Flawless were astounding, Diversity’s routine was much more imaginative and creative and pushed the boundaries in a way that Flawless’s didn’t. The boys are probably on a par with each other when it comes to dancing skills, however on the night, Diversity definitely had more of a wow factor.

Flawless and Shaun Smith have triumphed on tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent semi-final and will perform again on Saturday night’s final.

It was hardly surprising that Flawless achieved the highest amount of public votes. They were the last act to perform, which seems to guarantee success and most of the other acts tonight were complete and utter crap.

After the results of the public vote was revealed and the judges were forced to decide between ventriloquist Gareth Oliver and singer Shaun Smith. They had all gushed about Shaun’s amazing performance so it was no surprise that he went through to the final. I’m not sure he deserved it though. Better singers have got kicked off X Factor at bootcamp stage.

Who were you backing tonight and more importantly, who do you think will win on Saturday night?

Britains Got Talent has two big dance troupes in it’s semi-finals this year and many people have been finding it hard to distinguish between the two.

Diversity and Flawless are both male, street dancing troupes but Ashely from Diversity says that the two groups are actually very different indeed.

In a chat with Unreality TV earlier today group choreographer Ashley Banjo said:

“I can see why people would think we are alike. We are all guys and we all street dance but in reality there are a lot of differences. We both approach dance routines totally differently for one thing. Our name Diversity completely sums us up. We are not manufactured, we are not an audition group. We are friends and brothers, some of us have been dancing together for fifteen years now. We try to make our routines stand out and we aim to keep people interested the whole way through. We like to have at least one ‘wow’ moment in there too.”

When asked if another dance act could feasibly win this year’s series, considering that George Sampson took the title last year, Ashley responded:

“George Sampson was good but he was a solo act. It is like a solo singer winning X Factor one year and a group the next. As a troupe of dancers we bring a whole different feel. We do a lot of lifts, we work our circle a lot, we are very different to George and I hope we can win.”

UPDATE: Flawless won a place in the BGT 2009 finals on Monday 25th May.

MEMBERS AND AGES: x10 in total:

Marlon Wallen 24, Anthony Duncan 27, Nathan Kabongo 20, Paul Samuels 20, Allan Kabeja 23, Christian Alozie 24, Leroy Dias Dos Santos 24, Simon Smith 21, Paul Steadman 32, Nathan Gordon 23.

FROM: London

TALENT: Street Dancing

Flawless aged 20 – 30 have 11 members and are currently one of the biggest dance troupes in the UK and were formed 4 years ago by Marlon the choreographer and main dancer. They have entered the competition to show that Britain has got talent and does have talented dance groups that are better than the Americans. And the guys want to inspire children from problem communities to channel their aggression and energy into something positive.

Their main moto is ‘chase the dream, not the competition’. The group themselves come from North London that houses a lot of crime and negativity so they want to show that through dance they have managed to stay focused and followed their dreams. The group would love to become a brand and believe there are no limits in what they can achieve. In 2005 they won UK dance championships and in 2006 won the World Championships and said it was their proudest moment to date. Marlon and the rest of the lads would love to win the £100,000 and set up their own little dancing empire where they could teach children and help build there confidence in day to day situations.

JUDGES COMMENTS:

Simon – YES. You have made this competition worthwhile, one of the best thing I’ve seen in my life;

Amanda – YES A jaw-dropping performance, best group of the last three years;

Piers – YES I have never felt as excited as I have right now about you lot

On Britain’s Got Talent so far this year the Judges have been really impressed with the quality of the dance acts, with Flawless in week 1 setting a really high level of standard. And next in to see the Judges are 11 guys aged 12 – 25 who think they have what it takes to take on Flawless in the dance challenge, Diversity.

Diversity are from London and Essex and the group is made up of 3 sets of brothers and 4 friends. Some of the guys are still at school or studying at university but some of the older members have normal 9 – 5 jobs, including an IT systems engineer, A bathroom installer and tele sales, but every spare moment they have together is spent dancing.

Group leader Ashley, a Physics student, explains how he took on the role as leader and choreographer, “from the age of 14 I started to teach myself routines and since then I’ve taken on the role of choreographer”.

Diversity’s performance is electrifying and the whole theatre is on its feet and all three judges look really impressed with Amanda saying, “This show is just brilliant because just when I think I have seen it all and nothing could get any better then you came on.” Piers describes the choreography as “genius” and states that they are “right up there with the best of the dancers we have seen”.

With Diversity blowing the Judges away it looks like a street dance battle is on the cards between them and Flawless, but both acts will have to wait until the Judges deliberation to see if they are both good enough to get through to the live shows.

Another BGT another fix scandal! This time dance troupe Flawless are embroiled in the controversy, as reports suggest that they were well known to Simon Cowell before they auditioned on Britain’s Got Talent this year.

The Sun has reported that the boys appeared regularly on last years series of X Factor as back up dancers.

A source said: “People think Flawless are just some boys from North London — they’re not, they’re proper professionals.”

Britain’s Got Talent kicks off this Saturday night on ITV1 and one of the acts you can look forward to watching are London dance troupe, Flawless.

After the success of George Sampson on last years series, BGT seemed to be inundated with dance acts this year but Flawless really stand out from the crowd.

The boys of Flawless have been together for four years and practice daily. As they swaggered out on stage for their audition they struck me as one of the coolest acts the show has seen to date and then they performed the most amazing and energetic street routine.

Piers called the boys ‘electrifying’, Amanda thought they were ‘jaw droppingly outstanding’ and Simon Cowell said that their routine was one of the best things he has ever seen in his life.

For a hint of what these boys can do check out this Youtube video of them rehearsing for this years Mobo awards.

To watch Flawless perform and find out their fate tune in on Saturday 11th April 7:45pm – ITV1.
