In a decision that will surely make headlines everywhere, dance group Diversity have won Britain's Got Talent, upsetting season-long favorite Susan Boyle, who came in second place.
Both acts appeared in the first episode, but Susan's audition turned her into a global internet sensation, gathering over 100 million views on YouTube alone. Her success on the Web garnered her tons of global press attention, culminating in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
However, in the past week, the attention seemed to be getting to the 48 year-old spinster from Scotland. Boyle reported suffered two meltdowns prior to today's final, causing her to move from the London hotel where all the contestants were staying to another location. Tonight, she performed a reprisal of "I Dreamed a Dream", the song that made her a star.
Diversity, the second dance-related act to win BGT after George Sampson last year, will receive $159,000 and a performance slot at the Royal Variety Performance, with the Queen in attendance.
