As an American fan of Britian's Got Talent, I apparently don't get to see all of the show on YouTube. I had no idea when the judges say "You're going on to the next round" what they really mean is "...if we make the arbitrary decision to keep you here..." I'm shocked that Kieran Gaffney wasn't taken to the finals after all the fuss that was made over him during the auditions. Considering the quality of many of the acts that -did- make it through to the semi-finals, it's an insult to Kieran

The talent of Susan Boyle is unquestionable, but the real winners of this show, is Diversity, they not only have unique new freshly created work, they are a team and intertaining. I just have to keep watching them and enjoy every minute. Susan sings well, but its not new music and different. As other good singers, i am sure she will do well, at least better then she has done before. But diversity, is not only intertainment, they are unique in talent.

piers, i wish i could say i enjoy your arrogance, but really, sometimes your insults to your co-judges is not intertaining, and your choice of talent is now becoming questionable. Maybe, you should take a break. Variety is one thing....that i agree, but darth-jackson, or whatever he is...get real! That may be fun for a party, or joke, but talent. You really should look back at the tapes and hear yourself.

Previously there was the scandal with the phone lines. This year there is again something crooked going on. The whole thing is a fiddle. It must be when people with No talent and No Chance what-so-ever of winning like JD Talent or Darth Jackson were put through to the semi-finals and yet the young and Very Talented drummer Kieran Gaffney didn't. I think the whole nation is waiting for and deserves an explaination

Come on Piers - show the country that at least you care! How the young 'Drummer Boy' - Kieran Gaffney did not make it to the Semi's is beyond comprehension. How can a weirdo swinging dustbins off his ears or a bloke in a Darth Vader mask - attempting to dance like Jacko, seriously have more talent thyan this boy?? Simon Cowell knocked the stuffing out of this lad with his comments. Show us all you care by re-instating the lad or this show is in danger of loosing the confidence of the nation.

I can understand why Keiran the young drummer looked so confused after being told he wasnt going through. Afterall he had a standing ovation and three "yes's". I must add that I am very sad and confused too that he didnt get through. It is a big shame especially after looking at some of the finalists such as Nick Hell, DJ Talent and also the untalented drag artist surely these were definitely a NO even if the public vote saved them you just would not put them in front of the Queen. Why?

Come on Piers, you're never one to back down from a challenge! Bring back Keiran. EVERYONE I have spoken to that watches the show have all said how very disappointed, surprised AMAZED that Keiran didn't get through! His enthusiasm and talent shone through and the audience there obviously thought that too! Can't believe some of the acts that got through over him! I never joing these kind of debates but have actually joined this site just to write about Keiran!

Singer upon singer, dancer upon dancer, but no drummers, why did keiran gaffney not get through, the show is all about variety according to ms Holden, which was the excuse to put through a load of seriously bad comic acts, where's the justice, is there an alteria motive for not putting him through, its so frustrating!!!!

Piers, please explain why Kieran Gaffney didn't make it. Is there something more we should know? You clearly liked him more than many of the acts that did get through???
