Congratulations, Collabro have WON Britain’s Got Talent 2014!! Incredible scenes!! #BGTfinal
What a nail biting final it was difficult to call. Too bad for Bars and Melody and Jack Pack who we absolutely loved on the night and think deserved to WIN or a place in the top 3 at least.

After weeks of nail-biting auditions and five days of tense semi-finals, Britain’s Got Talent picked one of the 11 acts to be the 2014 champion.
And the public chose Callabro to be crowned this year's winner, where they will take home a £250,000 cash prize and a spot at this year's Royal Variety Performance.
The runner-up was Lucy Kay, with Bars and Melody in third place.
Musical theatre actors, Callabro united to become a truly talented vocal group who have gone from strength to strength.
On Saturday night they sang Stars from Les Miserables, the song performed the character Javert in the long-running musical.
David said: ‘It was wonderful, you couldn’t fault it. It was perfection.’
‘Can’t fault, I was thinking “go on boys”,’ Alesha smiled.
‘Faultless performance, you are stunning and you could win this competition,’ Amanda said.
'I have to echo that, You have steel in your eyes when you sing. You are totally focused. The first time I heard this song it was fantastic, well this was a step up,’ Simon shared.
Runner-up Lucy Kay had taken on Nessun Dorma, the song made famous by Luciano Pavarotti, and typically sung by a male opera singer.
‘That was simply superb,’ Alesha said, while Amanda echoed her sentiments: ‘That was pitch perfect, and a brave choice, you were just incredible darling
Simon said: ‘When we first saw you were a shivering wreck, you shone like a diamond tonight, any other year that was a show winner. But what a fantastic way to end the evening’.
Bars and Melody came in third place after performing their own original rap about bullying, by sampling Twista’s Hope and using the verse sung by Faith Evans.
The duo had previously performed the track, but David didn’t mind: ‘Yo, yo, yo, yo - well boys you smashed it tonight, I’m so glad you sung it tonight for us again.’
‘Every time I see you perform I could burst,’ Alesha gushed. ‘You are on such an amazing journey and I think you could win this show.’
Amanda said: ‘It is incredible, you are both exceptionally talented. You have that quiet confidence and it’s not arrogant, you're awkwardness is endearing.’
‘It was just a great performance, it was from the heart and it was real and you meant everything you sang. I hope my little Eric turns out like you,’ Simon said.
Jack Pack cam in fourth place, and were hoping to better the lives of their families by winning the competition.
They sang Nina Simone’s I’m Feeling Good in typical Rat Pack fashion, with a brass band to support and a few modern dance moves.
Another standing ovation from the judges, but David was the last to sit down: ‘It was really joyous, every time the act comes on I think they are going to be the winners, after that I think you could win this thing.’
I feel like I’m at the best concert tonight, I think you guys could do this tonight,’ Alesha enthused.
‘I’m running out of adjectives, you could absolutely win. For years we’ve had Michael Buble for this but I think you’ve just stolen his crown,’ Amanda said.
This was by far the best performance you’ve given in this competition. You’ve got to have swagger, and you had it. An outstanding performance,’ Simon praised.
The time is measured on the big screen, as a fire threatens to burn the rope keeping the bear trap from snapping shut.
Struggling, he seemed to make no leeway until the 20 second mark, but with a second to spare he escapes and falls to the floor as the trap snaps shut.
My goodness, you get better and better, you have star quality and that presentation was perfect,’ Alesha gushed.
‘I was mesmerised, my heart was racing. It was astonishing and the best thing is that you did take your T-shirt at the end,’ Amanda praised.
‘I like the fact that you are so cool, the production is fantastic, I believe we’re seeing the birth of a star here,’ Simon said.
