Kids today!

I haven't been watching the programme Britain's got Talent. Sometimes I felt like I was the only who wasn't when I was at work. It has been one of the main topics of conversation for weeks in the staff room.
I have however seen the press comments on Susan Boyle and can understand everybodys surprise when she started to sing.
So last night I tuned in to see what the fuss was about. When we hear about young people in the news it is usually about binge drinking, carrying knives or other negative things. Diversity showed us 11 young people who are doing something positive with their spare time and they are amazing and worthy winners.
But then again Stavros Flatley made me laugh and what an advert for a great father and son relationship. The singers were all brilliant and Julian Smith playing the saxophone really deserves to be success in the future.
I hope it inspires other people to have ago. At school I give up my lunch break sometimes to groups of Year 6 who want to use the hall to practice routines and need an adult to supervise. I have always done it willing when the have asked me but in future I will be looking for next years big talent. Move over Simon!





If like me you missed their first appearance click here and see.

Well done Diversity! I love Susan Boyle though, I don't think we've seen the last of her. xxxx

I am glad Diversity won. They put on a spectacular and polished performance. I also liked Stavros Flatley, Julian and Flawless. I think Susan Boyle looked quite relieved not to have won. I am sure many of them will get future work. I am glad that you are looking out for the next acts for Britains Got Talent within your school!!!

I really loved Diversity's performance last night and though that of was great that they won, although I voted for Julian. Well done for helping the kids developing their creativity.

Gosh, I haven't been watching this programme but the dancing is amazing, very clever - I knew of Susan Boyle from the news and have seen what has happened to her this morning - very sad indeed.
