1. I'm getting no streaming anything. ETA: It's on for me now! ETA: Oh, It's Big Brother.

I do NOT agree with Piers that SB is better than Paul Potts!

6. The live performances are over...

The live results show will air in Britain @ 6:45PM EDT tonight.

[WinkyDink]

7. Okay, thanks! I'll check back!

[WinkyDink]

25. Well, it WASN'T 6:45 p.m. IT'S NOW OVER.

[targetpractice]

29. I'm sorry... I was given the wrong info...

I almost missed it myself, and only caught it because I left the streaming window open.

Here's the results...

2. Ok , why not sing something else ?

[MorningGlow]

3. It was a wise move, actually

She's a nervous wreck (and understandably so). It was smart for her to go back to a song she already knew she could do well with instead of attempting something new.

This isn't American Idol--or, rather, Pop Idol--where the contestants have to do a different song each time.

[Midlodemocrat]

5. She nails that song. Absolutely wonderful.

[targetpractice]

8. It's her anthem...

The lyrics were so meaningful the first time she auditioned and equally so now (despite the complete change in circumstances).

[Lorien]

11. Many contestants on BGT repeat their first performance

and try to outdo themselves. It seems to be somewhat traditional on that program.

[Suich]

4. Good for her!

I forget...how do they pick a winner? Is it up to Simon, et. al.

[targetpractice]

9. Voting for the next 3 hours by phone & text.

[Suich]

14. Thanks! n/t

[targetpractice]

10. I posted a longer high-quality version with judge comments.

Check the YouTube link in the original post.

I think she'll win.. Although the dance group, Diversity, was awesome.

Hopefully, the negative press she's received in Britain recently won't hurt her chances.

[DS1]

12. Good, can she disappear now?

[Dappleganger]

13. Sure

Just close your eyes and plug the ears.

Like magic!

[DS1]

15. the image is burnt into my retinas

One does just not simply walk out of Mordor

[Midlodemocrat]

19. I'm going to sing I Dreamed A Dream just to you at BB's.

That'll learn ya, you whippersnapper you.

[Captain Hilts]

23. No, because she's fookin' great! She'll sing for Liz and Phil. nt

[Sky Masterson]

16. Here it is

17. SHE LOST!

Just announced!

DIVERSITY WON... She was very gracious, however!

She said, "The best lads won!"

[Midlodemocrat]

18. Dude. spoiler.

[targetpractice]

20. Um sorry... The results were just broadcast.

Sorry you missed that.

The cat's out of the bag worldwide... Did you want to wait for CNN?

[DeepBlueC]

22. waaaaaaaaaaaah

I hope she still gets a chance to perform for the Queen at some point. I think that was important to her. :(

[WinkyDink]

26. Why did you post "6:45"? I'm beyond upset. If you'd have said, "find it yourself", I would have.

And then you post the results out in the open??

Is "EDT" "Central Time" to you?

[targetpractice]

28. Yikes... Sorry...

The source that referred me to the stream told me 6:45 ET voting ends.

I left the stream window open after the final performances, and was surprised when the results show came back on at 4:30 ET. They cut voting at 4:45 ET and announced the winner shortly thereafter. I didn't have a heads up or think to correct my post.

I'm sorry that I lead you astray, but I didn't have the correct info. :-(

[merh]

21. tears in my eyes again for her, because of her courage

and the beauty of her sound.

Let us know as soon as you know - thanks for the links.

edited to add: Just read she lost. :(

diversity was an awesome dance crew and Susan will go on with a recording contract

[Captain Hilts]

24. She was a winner before the evening even began. She'll sing for Liz. nt

[merh]

27. I agree.

And I think Simon will have a big hand in helping her realize her dream, I think he genuinely likes her and will protect her, make sure she isn't taken advantage of. - He teared up during that final performance.
