Britians Got Talent Final 2013

In what I thought was one of the best finals on Britain’s got Talent since I first started watching the programme, the Hungarian act Attraction won the show. Tipped by The Sun newspaper to win the show by a landside there final performance was a bit of a let down and they nearly lost out to the young talent that is comedian Jack Caroll.


The act that impressed me most was Steve Hewlett, the wild card for the final, who if it wasn't for the egg thrower would have, I felt, been third in tonight’s show, without the sympathy vote that must have went to Richard and Adam. In fact in terms audience reaction, and laughs ,he did far better that the runner up Jack Carroll. He had the audience in the palm of his hand and he was side splittingly funny. I just hope someone sees this and gives him the spotlight he deserves.

So below is the final voting for the final in this years show. What I find surprising was that Francine Lewis who won the forth semi final only just managed to avoid coming last, but may be that was more of a problem with that semi final with her fellow semi finalist coming just behind her in last place. Anyway here are the final voting percentages :
  1. Attraction 27% (Semi Final 5 - 1st)
  2. Jack Carroll 20.1% (Semi Final 2 - 1st)
  3. Richard and Adam 15.4% (Semi Final 1 - 1st)
  4. Steve Hewlett 14.7% (Wild Card - Semi Final 5 - 3rd)
  5. Luminites 6.8% (Semi Final 3 - 1st)
  6. Jordan O’Keefe 3.7% (Semi Final 5 - 2nd)
  7. Gabz Gardiner 3.6% (Semi Final 3 - 2nd)
  8. Arisxandra Libantino 2.9% (Semi Fianl 1 - 2nd)
  9. Pre-Skool 2.8% (Semi Final 3 - 2nd)
  10. Francine Lewis 2.0% (Semi Final 4 - 1st)
  11. Asanda Jezile 1.2% (Semi Final 4 - 2nd)
Based on tonight’s show there are a number or people to watch for in the future, these include Jack Carrol, Steve Hewlett, The Luminites, Gabz Gardiner as well as the two young female singers who I’m sure we will be hearing of again. It was a wonderful show and long may it continue to show case the talnet that is out there waiting to be found.

Finally one last word for the winners, Attraction, don’t do what you did in the final for the Royal Command Performance, it was good but it was the biggest let down in the history of the show for me as a final performance what they had done up to that point. Do what you have do best and grab at those heart strings and pull and amaze us again.
