And we thought Kris Allen's victory over Adam Lambert was an upset...
World-renowned Britain's Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle failed to win her reality competition this season, falling to dance troupe Diversity in the finals.
The acrobatic group's performance was described by judge Simon Cowell as "utter perfection."
"If I had to give marks on that, that is the only performance tonight I would want to give a 10 to," Cowell said.
Do you agree? Watch Boyle's closing rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" below and let us know if you think Boyle should have won...
Watch Diversity in action RIGHT NOW. Did they deserve the title?

Diversity DEFINITELY deserved it. I'm british and I watched the whole finale of Britain's Got Talent this year and admittedly, Susan was acting all smug throughout the show. She didn't wave to the camera, she pulled the same face throughout the judges commentary, she acted over-confident.
But with Diversity, their choreography was outstanding throughout the series! And the timing was brilliant! Their act takes so much effort and compared to Susan's, they definitely deserved to win.

Disgusted. I mainly listen to dance and trance music and when I heard Susan Boyle sing I stopped what I was doing and was nearly hypnotized that's a talent that someone is born with. A dance routine can be repeated untill it's right and if your fit and flexible and give enough time any group of people could throw out a dance routine. It's disgusting but if she looked like a model she would have won.

Diversity honestly deserved to win. I too watched the entire final, and their humility shone through. Their choreography was so original and clever; they managed to get quips in about the show in each performance, all done in good humour. You can't argue that Susan Boyle can't sing, she does have talent, but it's been blown out of proportion ever since her first performance. She was marked as the favourite of the competitioni since show one, so kudos to diversity for breaking free of the hold of the producers and proving the world that Susan Boyle isn't all she's craacked up to be. Her quiet smugness was overshadowed by diversity's talent and grace. Susan Boyle will have a long career, as will diversity. Both have talent, diversity just happened to be way better on the night!

Susan boyle isnt world renound....shes renound in America...thats it....yeah people liked her here and she is a good singer but she isnt perfect I would say 9 year old Hollie was better....Diversity were a group a mixed ages, races and all differnet jobs, university, colage, school. And the main guy in the group chrographed the whole thing with creative ideas...they TOTALLY deserved to win

I think both Diversity and Susan deserved it. I do think Susan is kind of over rated but she's been thrown on this rollercoaster without getting to choose anything that is happening. People have seen her perform 3 times and already they either love her or hate her. I do think she is over rated but i'm not saying I hate her or that she is over confident because I have only seen her through what has been said in the media. I feel kinda bad for her cos she is being judged through no fault of her own. Put yourself in her shoes and think how it would feel to have someone judge you after only seeing you on tv or the newspapers etc. You can't make your mind up about someone you've never met.
I also think Diversity were amazing!!!!
