Street dancers Diversity beat Susan Boyle into second place in a surprise victory in the Britain’s Got Talent final on Saturday.

The energetic dance group, which includes three sets of brothers, took the 100,000-pound ($159,000) prize and will perform for the Royal Variety Show before the queen.

Susan, who chose to sing again the song that first brought her fame, I Dreamed a Dream, was gracious in defeat—saying “the best people won” and wishing them “all the best”.

Following Boyle’s swan song, Piers Morgan said: “I’m not supposed that favor anyone, I should be impartial, but you know what, forget it. That was the greatest performance I’ve seen in Britain’s Got Talent history. You should win this competition. I loved it!” Amanda Holden told the 49-year-old singer, “You sang it so well… You did it girl.  You did it for Scotland.”

    the difference between Susan Boyle and Diversity is Diversity did what was required.. the judges had said it over and over from the auditions to the semi finals .. each time a contestant move up their act had to be better than the previous act .. Diversity did just that.. Susan Boyle did not .. in her final she went back to her song she sang in the audition.. that is what cost her the contest.. she DID NOT change or up her act like Diversity did .. go back and look at all 3 of Diversity's videos each one was different and more challenging .. Britains got Talent made Susan famous before she won the contest.. which caused her more harm then good.. BGT should have wanted until she won then made her famous..

    Susan has more talent than "Diversity". How could she have lost? She is the BEST!

    I have watched the final clipz many times. Diversity and Susan Boyle have very different talents, but what makes Susan so spectacular is that she sings songs with the competence of a singer who has been professionally trained. Diversity have obviously put in a lot of training and performed professionally before. Here is South Africa there are many community groups who do this type of dancing and stunningly well. Not to take anything away from the winner, I think Susan is so special because she breaks the mould and reminds us all not to cowtail to "image" but to remember it is that which likes within which defines us. She should have won and will go on to out shine Diversity in the commercial world
