I agree that the ventriloquist should have gone through. Jordan should be doing the X Factor. The only singing allowed should be classical and choirs.

My top 3 for the whole week would be:
1. Attraction 2. Luminites 3. Jack Carroll
However, I think Francine will somehow find her way into the top 3.

Am I the only one watching the final?
So far:
Pre-Skool (pre school kids dancing badly) 4/10
Asanda (mini-Pops Beyonce covering If I Were A Boy whose stage presence makes Misha B look like she lacked confidence) 5/10

Gabz Gardiner (14 year old singer "songwriter", sings new song that suggests she suffers from the Scouting For Girls syndrome, i.e. variations of the same song; then for good measure chucks in the corus of her Lighters "anthem") 6/10
Steve Hewlett (Hooray the wildcard is the ventriloguist; and this is very very very very funny - Arthur Lager; Simon Cowell & Sinitta - what more could you ask for) 10/10

Jordan O'Keefe (How the F did he beat Steve Hewlett last Saturday; this Irish Pete Best One Directioner takes Katy Perry's Firework and multilates it in the manner of Ronan Keating doing an impresion of James Arthur taking on a Damien Rice song = A wretched dirge) 1/10
Arixsandra (Hooray another child singer (yawns) she takes on Xtina Aguilera's The Voice Within .... and loses - a really crediitable effort but that song is just too big for a child to attempt) 6/10
Francine Lewis (It's never a good sign when an impressionist tells you who she is (impersonating); her material is nowhere near as funny as it was in the Semi Final) 5/10

My kids are watching it, sadly I can hear some of it, I had to ask who she was impersonating it, it was so bad!

Someone threw eggs at Simon Cowell, oh how hilarious, shame it wasn't grenades!

Richard & Adam (Welsh popera duo cover The Impossible Dream, impressive without being amazing) 7/10
Was that stage invading egg thrower part of the orchestra; cue unplanned ITV break (not a first for them this week).

She looked like she was part of the choir, so funny as to how long it took security to react! Was it 4 eggs she got off at him?

Jack Carroll (A bit of topical satire; an ageist joke against Tom Jones; and several digs at The Voice; again the material was not as good as in his Semi Final for the ten comic) 6/10
Lumintes (Yeah doing Hurts So Good again - a song written about anal sex!. I wish they were on XF rather than BGT; but they are great) 9/10

Attractions (so much netter without Declan McManus ... joking aside; the Hungarian act have with that performance stuck the ultimate reverse Churchill hand gesture up at the repulsive Nigel Farage and his nasty comments he has made this week against a brilliant act just because of their nationality.) 11+/10

My Top 3
1 Steve Hewlett 2 Attraction, but I think they are hot favourites to win. 3 Luminites
Any of the top 3 not fussed, but the ventriloquist was really good

Glad the opera singers didn't win, I was afraid the judges would get egg pelted again..
I just knew Attraction would win, worthy winners.

Eggcellent final!
Attraction were nailed on winners as far as I'm concerned. Slightly surprised Luminites didn't make the top 3 but I'm glad the rest of the country has realised Francine Lewis simply isn't funny.

Attraction were the obvious winners from the time they did their audition. Tonight's performance was a bit cringeworthy and an obvious attempt to win over the British public but the fact that they are so good at what they do more than made up for that.
I was glad to see the ventriloquist get the wildcard and he put in a really good performance tonight.
Luminites and Jordan were both good but why didn't they go in for The Voice or X Factor?
Gabz showed herself to be a bit of a one-trick pony by devoting half her performance to a song she had done twice already.
From the performances on the night I would have put the ventriloquist in the top three rather than Jack who seemed rather nervous for a lot of his performance.
Sorry I didn't comment while the show was on but I started 50 minutes behind and gradually caught up by the time of the guest performances.

Attraction 11 Shadow theatre group 1st – 27.0% Jack Carroll 9 Comedian 2nd – 20.1% Richard & Adam 8 Singers 3rd – 15.4% Steve Hewlett 4 Ventriloquist 4th – 14.7% Luminites 10 Vocal group 5th – 6.8% Jordan O'Keefe 5 Singer/guitarist 6th – 3.7% Gabz 3 Singer/rapper 7th – 3.6% Arisxandra 6 Singer 8th – 2.9% Pre Skool 1 Dancers 9th – 2.8% Francine Lewis 7 Impressionist 10th – 2.% Asanda 2 Singer 11th – 1.2%
Steve got very close to the top 3, shame he couldn't quite get there.
Thought Attraction weren't very good tonight and people must have been voting on past form. The end of Francine's routine was shockingly awful tonight. Glad that put the voters off.
Loved the egg incident, highlight of an average night.
