And maybe George fans might be interested in this. If Arnaldo thinks Escala were unoriginal because they copied another band, then George copied an advert. Its a very similar routine, albeit not in the same order but still.

I making reference to the fact that the judges had said that Escala were original, when they appear to have copied Bond exactly.
You say George copied an advert? He was inspired by it. Also, if he did that routine, but not in the same order, like you say - then it isnt the same routine.

The Escala version of the song is different to the one in the video you provided and there's not really much you can do with music. If you think that is unoriginal then you have to accept that George was heavily inspired by that advert- even hanging off the lamp post and the rain bit at the end- therefore his isn't original either.

The dance routines are different. Also there is a difference between being inspired and being original. We all knew he was inspired by that advert. The song, and the performance was. The routine was his own.
Escala version of the song is exactly the same. I'm not saying it wasnt good, it was great. But I just find it funny that the judges have said it was original, when it seems they have copied Bond.

They use the same song, Palladio. The version in the song you used is different to Escala's version. The one in the clip is very 'europo' meets 'club' if you like (its hard to describe) but Escala played it out as a 'classy' piece lets say.
But if George was inspired, then that automatically doesn't make it original? I'm not saying its bad, because he wasn't and I suppose he deserved to win, but I just don't see how you can single out Escala for being original. I don't think original is what they meant, I think they meant unique.
