I know this is quite late on but I was particularly impressed with Diversity from 'Britain's Got Talent'. Not only because they were a phenomenally talented troupe of young men, but that they had been so focused and worked so hard for their success.
Talent shows - particularly televised ones, are littered with Scouse type wannabees who with no obvious talent say "It's my dream"... "I won'it so bad"... as though there is some given right to having this "dream" fulfilled.
I cheered at the TV when the choreographer of Diversity said "This is our dream" - and then Simon Cowell said "But you have worked so hard for this and you deserve to have your dream realised". Hooray!
Unfortunately talent shows give the impression that individuals can be an overnight success; it takes a great deal of hard work to be an overnight success! Remember those people at school that swore blind that they didn't do any work - yet in hindsight it is obvious they worked extremely hard.
You can 'talk' all you like, but you have to put in the work too; words alone aren't sufficient.
