I am. Just watched for the 2nd time in disbelief.

How do you improve upon that?

Technical & artistic perfection!

Ah, yes, incredible - but, like the Army,  they get life if they fail? Bet they are not all schoolchildren doing it after school??

We're big fans of spellbound in this house although I think I preferred their audition - the music was just that bit better and more dramatic than last night. Still fab though. Better than all the street dancers they keep putting through...

What about that Steve guy with the ring and the padlock???  :-X :-X :o :o Don't know how he did it but shame he's out and we won't see anymore. Also thought it was pretty funny how he produced the mobile when they were giving out his number lol.

I must admit, I'm not a fan of long standing professionals being on the show. I worked at the same events as Stevie Starr on numerous occasions. He's even been on Jay Leno. I'd rather see genuinely undiscovered talent than hard working established acts wanting a bit of publicity. Stevie Starr earns probably in excess of £100k a year with his act. Good luck to him but should, for example, Charlotte Church be allowed to enter the show?

Looking back, I think that I too preferred their first do.

Except for the final splits in the last! And the 'costumes' - so clever.

I didn't realise that. Probably not the place for him then, although like I said I would have liked to see what he was going to do next. It must be tough for the producers though deciding where to draw the line between who is undiscovered or not, as quite a few contestants have been working the clubs and doing their 'talent' professionally. although some more successful than others but maybe just not hitting the 'mainstream'. That's why I like Spellbound as they seem to have a genuinely unusual and entertaining talent and I think they're the kind of people who could really benefit from the exposure.
