Ant and Dec: “Welcome back live to the Big One: the final of Britain’s Got Talent. 2018 have come to visit us all the acts who performed.

You can smell the relief up here.”

Next up tonight are two brothers who made it to the finals just forty-eight (48) hours ago.

One of them says the other one is a right pain in the neck. But what can you expect when you walk around with him balanced on your head?

Please, don’t try this at home. You’ve been so good all week. Don’t let yourselves down now.

It’s the Giang Brothers!

Quoc Nghiep: “My name is Quoc Nghiep.
Quoc Co: “My name is Quoc Co. We are brothers. We are very close and spend a lot of time together, and we are best friends.”

Quoc Nghiep: Performing in the semi-final was very amazing.

Amanda Holden: “I feel like I’ve seen the winners of Britain’s Got Talent 2018.”

Quoc Nghiep: “My dreams come true.”

Ant: “The act going through to the finals is . . . Giang Brothers!”

Quoc Nghiep: “Getting through to the final is amazing. Our final performance tonight will be the most dangerous performance of our lives. And you cannot imagine what we will do. We are risking everything tonight.”

Winning Britain’s Got Talent will change our lives.”

 

 

Ant: “While the guys come down, I probably should just tell you that that was the first time the guys have completed that trick without a safety harness — they’ve never done it before. That was the first time they’ve completed it.

David what do you think?”

David Williams: “We’ve all tried this, haven’t we? We’ve all said to a friend, ‘Would you mind sitting on my head upside down, and we’ll see what happens?

No, I mean, this is beyond beyond, isn’t it? I mean you can’t believe what you are watching.

If you saw this in a movie, you’d think it was a special effect. You wouldn’t believe it. And the incredible artistry and showmanship that you both have as well is incredible.

That was AMAZING!”

Alesha Dixon: “I was thinking, ‘they’re not going to make it; they’re not going to make it. I should have had more faith in you because you are unreal: you create this amazing atmosphere — you were like two gods up there.

You just get better! YES!”

Amanda Holden: “Honestly, I’m an older woman, and let me point out all week, my nerves and my pants have been on edge all week through acts like this.

It was utterly extraordinary, and I can’t believe that this is part of a talent show.

You know, you really need to have your own show.”

Simon Cowell: You’re right: at the end of the day, it’s a competition worth winning. And to go from the semi-final into the final to have a shot at winning, you’ve got to up your game.

My god you’ve upped your game!

You know what’s so amazing about you two, apart from what you do technically, the movie is called ‘The Greatest Showman’, and you are the greatest show men; you know how to put on a show.

I was really, really impressed.

Fantastic. Congratulations. Brilliant. Brilliant.

Ant: Thank you very much judges.

Let’s hear it one more time for the extraordinary Giang Brothers!
