This has to be the first Britain’s Got Talent result that I have passionately agreed with all week. Tonight Julian Smith and 2 Grand made it through to Saturday night’s Britain’s Got talent final.
Julian wowed the judges with his saxophone performance and 2 Grand brought tears to the nations eyes with their rendition of ‘Somewhere Out There’.
Julian and 2 Grand join Susan Boyle, Diversity, Flawless , Shaun Smith, Stavros Flatley and Shaheen Jafagholi in the final with the final two acts being picked tomorrow night.
At this stage I think that Diversity and 2 Grand are my front runners, but who would you like to win? Leave your comments below.
