Loved Shaun!!!!! Wonderful song choice, wonderful wonderful rendition! Ain't No Sunshine (did Kris do this for American Idol?). (Someone is saying Shaun did this song for audition.)

Susan Boyle just won the competition with "I Dreamed a Dream." She sang it ten times better than the first time, and she looked beautiful and composed. IMO.

I think Shaun did that song before - not entirely sure because it could have been someone on AI I'm thinking of. Except for the very young ones I don't think they should repeat the same song, it's not like they've done five or six, they've only done two, surely they can find a third. Susan was great but I just wish it was a new song.

I wish it were a new song, too, Kitt - but she truly improved on her first performance. I think the judges and the public were really, really rooting for her to pull it through and she did. Diversity!!!!!!!

GAL, you'll also notice we have fewer but longer adverts. You can nip to the loo, make a cup of tea without worrying about missing something. In fact during adverts in big shows, like Christmas episodes of the major soaps, the National Grid actually suffers a spike in electric use as everyone puts their kettle on at the same time!

I loved Piers saying how he shouldn't be impartial but what the hell, he'd like Susan to win. LOL. And this kindler, gentler Simon is just...... sweet!

WOW they were fantastic! Loved the buzzers! Loved that they all had their capped heads down and the little fuzzy haired guy quickly poked his head up. I think if I could vote I'd vote for them! Not in England now, nope, just English!

Simon just said he thought Diversity was the only act he would give a 10 all night. I was disappointed that they reworked an old "Transformer's" routine, but they really, really reworked it so it very vaguely resembled their early routine. It was FANTASTIC! Julian Smith the saxophonist is last.

Diversity was absolutely amazing. They even topped previously! Even their costumes become an integral part of the performance. Judges comments: Amanda: "Ashley, your choreography is second to none. You have blown Flawless out of the water." (I agree.) Simon: the only performance tonight I would give a ten to. Sheer and utter perfection, not a step out of place. Piers thought Flawless was better???? (Did he say that for affect?)

I would like to humbly apologize to Stavros Flatley, they are definitely not a "one trick pony".

Yeah, awkward time for us West Coasters, isn't it Sea? My dh is waiting patiently but he wants to go see Up. I like the saxophone guy but it's hard to prefer him to the singers or dancers. Winners are announced 9.30-10pm (1.30-2pm board time).

Goddess, "they reworked an old "Transformer's" routine"--question: who are the Transformers?
