Poor love looked traumatised come Saturday evening. Her confidence had gone, her eyes did not sparkle any more - she looked lost and lonely. (I think one of your previous commentors - Mandy - must have been watching a different show to the one I watched.) Gutter-press tends to do that to people - they build you up and then smash you against the wall. She has a lovely voice and will do well. I, for one, will be in the queue to buy her first CD. Did she deserve to win on the night? Hard to say. I think they were all winners and all put on a marvellous show - something we are sadly lacking on the UK TV.

From what I've read so far everyone is feeling sorry for Susan Boyle because of the amount of press she's had etc but that's not the right reasons why she should have won. I think she does have an amazing voice but Diversity won fair and square so why caan't you all just accept that?

i don't get how you can say diversity are just another dance act. the choreography is genius. it's not like anything anyone has ever done. i wasn't sure about susan after her semi since it wasn't great to say the least but when i saw her sing i thought ok she is good and could win untill diversity came on and BLEW ME AWAY!!!

I think that it is better for Susan Boyle that she did not win. She should put out an album,tour,etc., but should have a good team to protect her emotionally from all the scrutiny and intrusion that comes with show biz. Afetr all, she lead a pretty quiet, secluded life before this all began for her and I would be worried that the demands placed on the winner would be too much for her to handle.

Only Americans wanted her to win because they didn't see how arrogant and self-important all their praise made her. Diversity deserved the win, they were FANTASTIC and the whole point of britains got talent is to perform at the royal VARIETY show. Susan should have entered X Factor not BGT, she is definately talented but it's not as though we've never heard a brilliant singer before. Over here we don't have as much exposure to dance groups in the way the USA do (americas best dance crew etc) so I think most people were just blown away. In my opinion Diversity could rival the finalists of ABDC anyday.

I don't think there was any shady manipulation of the results on Saturday night. All that was demonstrated was the mentality of the people who want to ring in to this kind of show. I'm certain that if the whole population voted Susan would have won hands down, hers is a real talent. Diversity are good but once you've seen them that's it. you've seen them wheareas we will enjoy listening to Susan long into the future, our children will listen to Susan sing and be just as thrilled as we are. They are unlikely ever to hear of the dance troup Diversity. Susan you music is timeless, enjoy your fame and fortune and all the best for the future.

Why take this so personally - it was a TV show?!!! Diversity were fantastic & in my humble opinion deserved to win. I haven't read the gutter rags re SB so not sure what that's all about. Lovely voice but a bit dull in my opinion. Would have worked better for her to show a bit more range with a different song. She looked relieved she didn't win - seemed to relax. Don't think all the hysteria from the other side of the pond helped her at all.

I would suggest to HRH that when Diversity come on the Royal Variety Performance, she makes sure she's out foraging for ice creams !

Personally, I don't see the appeal of Diversity. In fact, one announcer from New York stated that they could see dancers like that in the subway. Nevertheless, their choreography was good and they deserve credit for that. Had I lived in the UK, though, I would have voted for Susan. She was clearly the best and deserved to win. In the end, however, she is the winner, because by coming in second she is no longer under the rules she agreed to when she signed up with BGT and she is free to take any of the many offers she is getting. She will get a recording contract, get to be the professional singer she wants to be, and make millions of dollars. I'm sure, too, that she will be invited by the Queen herself to sing for the Queen which will be far better than just being allowed to perform because she won a contest. By this time next year, few people will remember who Diversity was, but people will know who Susan is for years to come because she has an incredible career ahead of her!

Diversity, without a doubt, deserved to win. Their dance routines were original, well choreographed and impressive. I have to say that part of me feels slightly cheated by SuBo choosing to sing her audition song again, especially as her semi-final song missed the mark. One singer, one song perhaps?

What I found most impressive was Susan Boyle's reaction when she heard that Diversity had won - she was genuinely pleased for them. To me, that shows that she is far better than any of her critics - a truly humble (if slightly eccentric) lady who deserves to go very far. God bless her !
By the way - I watched the whole show. In terms of variety and originality, I think Diversity were deserved winners even though Susan was definitely the best and most powerful singer. I am sure that Susan will continue to do well. In fact, previous winners of this show seem to do less well overall than the runners-up ! (For instance, one of last year's main runners-up, ESCALA, are now doing much better and achieving far greater acclaim than the winner.)

Maybe, I am not a much fan of group dance. Saturday result was just stunning and unbelievable even still now.
If it was held in US, Susan Boyle could have won here. America just loves her so much. Susan, you should consider coming to America. I felt that there are some cultural diversities going btw.

Diversity deserved to win. I mean come on Susan Boyle?? Yeah yeah, we know she can sing but she's not like any better than your average singer. Yes she had the most moving story, but that is not what this shows about. Its about talent. And well Diversity had sheer class and talent. They are not like other dance groups, you cant compare their imagination with others, they came up with that amazing dance in just a few days. They did what was required of them and i for one think they are worthy winners. Get In Ladsss =D !!!

Congratulations to the media for breaking her down.
Other celebs are alcoholics, drug addicts, tramps, etc., but that's ok.
Susan swears at the press after they egg her on, and people were ignorant enough to let that sway them.
The bookies are thrilled and it wouldn't surprise me if they were behind the whole thing.

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!!!!

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

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!
