Diversity star Ashley Banjo has revealed that he thinks Tobias Mead may be able to win Britain’s Got Talent 2010.
Ashley’s dance troupe won the ITV talent show last year but it has been Susan, who finished in second place, who turned out to be the real champion after she raked in £4 million in just one year, compared to Diversity’s £120,000.
Ashley told The Sun that the problem lies with Simon Cowell’s post show management team. He said: “At the end of the day, the whole team is slanted towards recording artists.
“It’s much harder for dancers because we can’t release downloadable material.
“We’re live, so obviously it’s really tough to get out there.”
“It’s a learning process. They’ve done things for us. They’ve done things for George [Sampson].
“There were things that were wrong, things that were good.
“They are a company who look after recording artists so the more they get to learn about non-recording artists the better.”
But Ashley revealed that he is a big fan of Tobias and was very impressed by his backwards dance routine showcased on Saturday night’s show.
Ashley said: “Tobias wasn’t just dancing, he came up with an interesting concept.
“As with all creative ideas, it would have been much harder than it looked.”
“I’m sure lots of girls will pick up the phone for him.”
He added:
“Dance is on the up this year so there’s every chance of another dance act winning.
“Dance acts really do capture the audience – especially in the UK because dance is fresh here and there are some really innovative and creative performers.”
“I would like to see the right act win though. If it’s a dancer, that’s brilliant.”
