			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the finals of Britain&#8217;s Got Talent (BGT) just aired last night and I finally finished watching all the finals performance videos. I must say, Britain&#8217;s certainly gotten it right this time. This is the exact order of the winners I would have chosen, namely,</p>
<p>1. Diversity</p>
<!--YouTube Error: bad URL entered-->
<p>2. Susan Boyle</p>
<p>3. Julian Smith</p>
<p>Alas, in my opinion Julian Smith&#8217;s in there only because everyone wants him to win. He&#8217;s nowhere near as entertaining as the others are when it comes to performing on a big stage, especially when you come up to play an instrument just after everyone else has wowed the crowd with their singing and dancing and whatnot. However, there&#8217;s no doubt he&#8217;s good, and definitely deserving of the top 3.</p>
<p>Diversity&#8217;s biggest rivals in this competition have undoubtedly been Flawless, but they definitely saved the best for last. Amanda was right when she said Ashley&#8217;s (group leader) choreography is second to none. It&#8217;s probably the most entertaining choreography I&#8217;ve personally witnessed. While technically Flawless is way better than Diversity, overall Diversity just has that extra special something that makes them much more endearing and entertaining.</p>
<p>Now Susan Boyle on the other hand to me was way overrated. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, she&#8217;s an amazingly talented singer. But the kid, Jaheen Jafargholi, is as good a singer in my books. Yet Susan Boyle received so much more attention because her audition was aired in the <strong>first</strong> episode of Britain&#8217;s Got Talent with an amazing act and story. To me it played a huge part, and of course YouTube did its thing as it did when the net exploded with Signature&#8217;s performance during last year&#8217;s BGT.</p>
<p>Anyway, congrats to Diversity for a well deserved win.</p>
<p>And really, it&#8217;s funny how I&#8217;m a Singaporean yet thoroughly enjoy BGT. The hidden talent there is just pretty amazing, especially compared to Singapore&#8217;s population of 4 million, there&#8217;s barely any artistic talent here.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m serious&#8230; you should see what a joke Singapore Idol is&#8230;</p>
