Here's 'Signature' with their winning performance from last night - I still enjoyed it, but not as much as the first one.

George Sampson danced to a brilliant win in Britain's Got Talent
By Kevin O'Sullivan

You know what they say. If at first you don't succeed.. try, try again. Dazzling dancer George Sampson did just that when, after failing a year ago, he returned to ITV's sensational Britain's Got Talent and triumphed in last night's breathtaking final.

You'd need a heart of stone not to have cried with this shy slip of a teenager as he was named the winner of a remarkable competition that for six incredible nights kept us all on the edge of our seats. George's scintillating Singing In The Rain routine was simply world beating. After eclipsing second placed dance duo Signature, he sobbed: "I'm speechless. You've changed my life." Give that kid a 100 grand and top billing at the Royal Variety Performance! Overrated choirboy Andrew Johnston came third and staggered from the stage in tears of despair.

It was a shock that voice-of an-angel favourite Faryl Smith didn't make the grade. But I've a hunch there'll be a Simon Cowell contract heading in her direction faster than you could say 'bestselling-album'. I remain devastated that Gin the wonder dog was not victorious. But, in time, I'll get over it.

Coming back down to earth, this spectacular week of magnificent mass market telly was a load of elaborately choreographed cobblers that conned us all rigid.

Don't get me wrong - I couldn't care less. But talk about stage managed! Did you notice how often the first two judges disagreed to make sure we ended up with numerous casting vote nail biters? The puppeteer panellists' other glaringly obvious prearranged role was to talk up a series of fourth-rate losers who had as much chance of making the big time as a one armed golfer. Let's face it. Most of the acts were borderline rubbish.

Especially, those embarrassingly dismal community dance troupes. And as for the nauseatingly "cute" kids - pass the puke bag. But precocious pet Gin was a genuine giant of entertainment who danced all over that woeful wannabe musical star Dean Wilson. What's the West Side Story morning glory? He barely hit a note. "I think we've just seen the winning performance," gushed Piers Morgan, who paid similar wildly overblown compliments to far too many nohopers.

Several of whom were subjected to that dreaded done-to-death cliche "absolutely brilliant". Piers also won the top clanger award for telling scantily clad contortionist Iona Lusvandorj: "I couldn't even get up there." Meanwhile, I must admit that Holden grew on me. Like fungus. Only joking - the girl done good. Amanda's only mistake was joining the enthusiastic Mr Morgan in getting carried away with below-par plodders.

Thank God the Dark Lord was there to tell it like it really was - reliably knocking down every over praised mid-ranker. Cowell plays this contest like a financial fiddle and it was as plain as the pound signs in his eyes he saw "really special" Faryl as this year's Paul Potts' style money-spinner. But, despite Simon's blatant business plan, peerless hosts Ant and Dec turned a parade of tat into must-see event TV.

In any case, the one true superstar of Britain's Got Talent was the show itself. This compelling carnival of end-of-the-pier nonsense gripped the nation. And that's, er, absolutely brilliant.

------------------

It was a great bit of bubblegum tv for sure - I was surprised that wee guy won though. I thought that the girl who sung Ave Maria (Faryl Smith) was far and away the most talented. I must have missed her in the earlier shows as it was a shock to hear how good she was.
