Farmers Choir Wins Britain's Got Talent; Taiwanese Performer Makes Historic Finals Appearance

The popular talent show 'Britain's Got Talent' held its grand finale today. Following a viewer vote, the UK's 'Hawkstone Farmers Choir' was crowned the champion, marking the first time a choir has won the show. Yang Li-wei and her partner Lai Kuan-chih, members of Taiwan's 'Coming True Fire Group,' did not win, but they made history by reaching the finals, becoming the first Taiwanese performers to grace the stage of the 'Britain's Got Talent' finale. Furthermore, Yang Li-wei had received a 'Golden Buzzer' from the judges during the semi-finals, sending her directly to the finals. According to current competition rules, the results of the grand finale are determined entirely by viewer voting, but only viewers with a UK mobile phone number can participate. Viewers can register and verify their phone numbers on the official website of ITV, the UK broadcaster of the show, in advance. After all performances conclude, the host announces the start of voting, and viewers have just over 10 minutes to vote, though they can cast more than one vote. A total of 10 acts entered the finals, including Yang Li-wei's fire dance. The types of performances were diverse, covering singing, poetry, dance, magic, comedy, drone shows, human-dog interaction shows, and fire stunts, with five of the acts having received the judges' 'Golden Buzzer.' The Hawkstone Farmers Choir, which received the highest number of votes today, is composed of farmers from different parts of the UK. The group consists of over 30 members, including men and women, with ages ranging from under 30 to over 70, focusing particularly on the mental health issues of agricultural workers. The grand prize for 'Britain's Got Talent' is 250,000 pounds (over 10 million NT dollars), and the winner will perform at the annual 'Royal Variety Performance.' The charitable 'Royal Variety Performance' is always grand and star-studded, and senior members of the British royal family traditionally attend. This year's performance is scheduled for November 20 at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
