To defeat the cultural juggernaut that was Susan Boyle, one would suspect it would take ten men from the streets of East London.
And that's precisely what did it on Saturday, when the dance troupe Diversity bested Boyle for the crown on season three of Britain's Got Talent.
The ten, consisting of three sets or brothers and four friends, hail from the Dagenham, Leytonstone and Essex neighborhoods of London. Their intricate routine sampling various high octane beats floored judged and, obviously, the country.
Watch their winning performance above!
Even runner-up Susan Boyle gave credit where it was due.
"They're very entertaining," she told judges.
Some of the men in Diversity are still students, while older members hold down ordinary day jobs such as telesales and IT support.
The boys claimed about $160,000 in prize money, and will perform for The Queen of England at her annual Royal Variety Show.

No one expected Susan Boyle to walk away empty handed on Saturday's telecast of Britain's Got Talent, where the Scottish finalist was a worldwide favorite to win.
After the UK voted dance troupe Diversity as its top act, Boyle was a good sport and optimistic about the future.
"They're very entertaining," Boyle said of Diversity, doing a spirited jig and even flashing a little leg, "Lads, I wish you the best."
Even callous Simon Cowell showed disbelief in the fumble, admitting he was "gutted."
"She was incredibly gracious. I think Susan has come out of this very well. The idea of Susan being second is astonishing. But she's won over a lot of fans tonight, not just through her singing ability, but through her graciousness," Cowell continued.
"She's got a massive future ahead of her."
Speaking of which, Boyle has a wish or two moving forward.
"I hope to get an album out, who knows? I'll just play it by ear. My journey has been unbelievable, very humbling," she said.
No kidding. Her final words on the program were of thanks for the audience.
