Thousands auditioned and tonight we are going to find the winner! It's the final of Britain's Got Talent 2012! Tonight we will see the final ten acts perform for their chance to win a spot on the Royal Variety Performance as well as money out of Simon Cowell's pocket. As well as the ten acts, there is the mystery wild card.
But first tonight, it was wild card act The Mend. Tonight they were singing 'Without You' by David Guetta ft Usher and they proved that they were worthy of being the wildcard choice. They performed their best they have so far in the series and they are definitely going to do well whatever happens, but I believe they have a great chance of winning the competition.
Up next this evening was Sam Kelly, a pub singer who in the semi-final was told he sounds like a proper recording artist, will this show through tonight? For me, he didn't quite do it. I didn't particularly enjoy his song choice and it's definitely not something I would keep the radio on for if it was played. However, David said it was his best performance yet with Alesha also agreeing with David and praising him. He is one of the strongest acts in the competition with each judge confirming this so he could be a hard act to beat.
Third up was dance act Nu Sxool. I have high doubts that they will win let's be honest, who wants to see another dance act win? They were definitely the best dance act of the series, David said they were his favourite act of the night and Simon even said that he thinks they were his "favourite ever contestants." A definite entertaining act but definitely not the overall winner. It's not what we want to see at the Royal Variety as it's nothing new. We want something unusual but unique... such as a dancing dog...
Act five was The Lovable Rogues who actually sung something different this time and it sadly wasn't as good as their audition/semi-final song. It was however, a nice song that seemingly got all the judges doing some sort of small 'bop'. It's great they are doing original songs as it's something we rarely see on Britain's Got Talent. Simon will definitely sign them up regardless of whether they win or not. Simon went as far to say that they were like a band that come onto the results show and sing rather than an act in the competition!
Our next act was dancers Kai and Natalia, of which Natalia hurt her leg during rehearsals (boo hoo!) to which if anything goes slightly wrong this will be her excuse. They definitely will not win. There was a lot of dedication in the performance but it seemed to lack something that made it look slightly half hearted. They sadly have done a lot better performances especially their semi-final dance, but will the viewers like them still?
Now it's time for Ant and Dec to run outside for Aquabatique, a bunch of women splashing around in water tanks. As I've made it clear in the last two posts they feature in, I do not like synchronised swimming. Tonight however it didn't look too bad. It's the only performance of theirs that I have liked the look of and haven't got bored of. Perhaps the choice of music helped them tonight but I know they will not win. All positive comments from the judges apart from David, who had booked a synchronised swimming act for his wedding and also praised them for their efforts all week, who thought they were not as good as their semi-final performance.
Act eight was controversial contestant Ryan O'Shaughnessy, who was a contestant on The Voice Ireland which Simon was disappointed by. Tonight he was hoping that he could play on the 'I'm hot, I can sing and play guitar, please vote for me card, as well as singing his audition song again. An interesting act, I kind of hope he doesn't win mainly because I think an act lost out on a place in the final because he managed to wriggle out of his contract he had with Universal so that he could perform on the show. There are acts which I think were better than Ryan that definitely deserved his place.
The ninth act of the night was all male Welsh choir, Only Boys Aloud. A definite strong act in the competition and potentially the winning act. Alesha seemingly got goosebumps during the performance as she was seen on camera rubbing her arms. Amanda was slowly choking and went as far to say that they should be opening the Olympics. And Simon said that he got emotional (he has emotions?!) even though he couldn't understand the words!
The penultimate act of the evening was my favourite, Ashley and Pudsey. Never have we seen a dog act win Britain's Got Talent in the past so hopefully tonight they will buck this trend and be the 2012 winners! It's extraordinary that they managed to come up with three entirely different acts in the series as it must take forever to train a dog to do this! All four judges gave a standing ovation and the smiles on their faces (especially Simon's) showed how well they had done. Definitely the best act of the whole series and definitely needs to be our winner!
The final act tonight was Jonathan and Charlotte. The VT played before them built up the emotional act with Jonathan saying he know realises people actually like him which tugged on everyone's heart. By far this was the best act to end on, a very emotional act which was professional and incredibly heartfelt. Definitely an act to watch out for tonight and I believe they will be in the final two tonight. Could this be the winning performance?
Slightly annoyed that dance act Diversity and singer Susan Boyle performed tonight, seeing as they were not in the competition last year. Traditionally the series winner comes back and performs in the final but as Simon and last year's winner Jai fell out over him being dropped he was not ask to come back. But they could of at least still got someone from last year and had cute runner up Ronan Parke. A massive cutie who got through on the basis that he was an amazing singer for such a young age and because he was cute. But instead we were given Diversity and Susan Boyle who are still amazing, but I felt it was a bit unfair on last year's contestants.
A highlight of tonight's show was David and The Showbears. He was kitted out in their sparkly sailor outfits and had learnt all the words an moves. Simon could not control himself with laughter, he clearly enjoyed the act! All three of the judges of course buzzed David, but it was definitely the main highlight of the show.
And the winner... of Britain's Got Talent 2012 is...
Ashley and Pudsey
Jonathan and Charlotte - 2nd
Only Boys Aloud - 3rd

The fourth act of the night was eleven year old Molly Rainford. Tonight she was quite honestly awful. The judges of course gave her a standing ovation because she has the cute factor but she wasn't that good. But then they can't really say bad things about her or she will cry her eyes and they will be in the papers for making a little girl cry. However, she will definitely do well in the future. What was even better, it's the first time Amanda has been seen on television all choked up and moments away from crying. Perhaps I'm hearing something completely different to the judges as they all loved it and I didn't.
Act five was The Lovable Rogues who actually sung something different this time and it sadly wasn't as good as their audition/semi-final song. It was however, a nice song that seemingly got all the judges doing some sort of small 'bop'. It's great they are doing original songs as it's something we rarely see on Britain's Got Talent.
