Susan Boyle
I have to disagree that Diversity are just another dance act. If you use that argument then Susan Boyle is just another very good theatrical voice that you can apply to the thousands of female actresses treading the boards in musical theatre up and down the country right now. There are also MANY church choirs in the UK with individual talented vocalists. The difference is that they did not enter BGT and did not suffer stereotypical first impressions based solely on appearance that they were talentless wanabees. That does not make Susan Boyle any more worthy of winning than a creatively choreographed street dance group. Boyle suffered from hype surrounding her appearance (largely generated by Americans) and this put undue pressure on the poor woman. She deserves to do well in musical theatre as she does have a gift but that does not necessarily mean her gift is any more special than Diversity's creative dance performances or Julian Smith's musical talents for that matter.
