The Piano

Wasn't it just wonderful and I agree about the tears they were flowing freely here.

I was in tears too! The 'winner' surprised me, I was sure it would be Jamie, judging by the audience reaction. However they were all wonderful.

It was a very emotional program and several worthy of winning IMO.
Having a young adult with autism in the family I especially felt for William. Also nice to see them so supportive of each other.

There is a lot that is good about this programme, not least the atmosphere of mutual support between the participants rather than competition.

I too was surprised by the winner/performance of the evening, but of course admire her perseverance to express her musicality in the face of such challenges.

The improvisation was mega-clever!!

I haven't watched the final yet but have watched the series so far and have to say I have been underwhelmed by it so far. I haven't been enjoying it as much as the previous series, whether it's because I don't feel it is working as well changing the mentor alongside Mika each week and I 'm not sure about the number of wildcards either. The final seems to have been a hit with those of you who have posted so I shall have to watch that.

It was wonderful, not too sure how they came to the choice of the winner. They were all wonderful.

Indeed, a wonderful celebration of achievement for them all.

They don’t choose the best pianist as the winner, they choose the one with the most heart rending backstory.
