  • I really am inspired by this video!!!

  • Has he made it to the final? Has he won ? He should have won.. can't find any video which he is in final....

  • boo..

  • If there's a guy in the world who could get laid from twirling batons, it's this guy.

  • Music name??

  • @markogreif let me entertain you....

    its kinda obvious lol

  • Why is he in demi-final ? He's not awesome at all...

  • @Ruben98539 Our idea of talent is very different from yours then... could you twirl a batton like that? probably not so shut the hell up you troll

  • @LukeMacanBhaird I guess it's not so obvious to me. Is it important? And whatever it is you want to point out, why are you doing it?

  • Wow he is such a good twirler. i am a baton twirler myself!!! I hope to get as good as CRAIG!!! i would love to go on bgt!! it would make me sooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @BFCLxxxx yes, but overall he has not done anything that... :(

  • It's ridiculous.You dare you perform on a TV set to show ca. It's horrible. It's been over 18 years that I make but I have rarely seen twirling Twirling of as ugly.It has been fighting for years for people to stop comparing ourselves to cheerleaders and you spoil everything.It's a massacre what you have done and in your place I would be ashamed.A board Twirling stops and puts you to the cheerleader, it will be much better.I am French and I believe in France that you just do not call it AC TWIRL.

  • He has good wrist control and would probably make a good drummer. Too bad he chose to waste his life twirling batons

  • lol ! He used to work with me :P

  • i can do that:D

  • No matter what you call it , It's entertainment. And I guess if a guy is a totally decent person, talented ,with a flair for style and dance they HAVE to be gay, We all know staite guys CAN"T have these traits. Join the rest of the world and quit judging people on what you assume about them. I wish you a happy life Craig!

  • Decepticon Blackout - eat your heart out! =)

  • @abusaowod its called baton twirling, im now doing it 8 years, im now 14;)

  • I do not understand this sort of art. what do you call it?

  • For all y'all saying "this is easy beginner tricks" all i have to say is in ALL his performances his tosses are VERY clean and right on que with the music. So i would LOVE to see all you haters do the exact same thing he's doing. No drops, clean free hand, good posture, and know great performance skill. Baton twirling is more than learning how many tricks or how many batons you can learn to do.

  • That was a beginner routine.

  • @oldskoolrifle75 aaaaand? at least it was clean and no drop

  • i am a twirler and i can tell you right noww.. NOT THAT HARD!

  • @emjayscenebaby. I completly agree with you! Its not easy. Plus he goes super fast!

    i wish he had more tosses than dance but i still love his routine!

  • Comment removed

  • Honestly? He isn't. That. Good.

  • the whole way though I'm like 'come on, do a monster roll, you're on tv. Show the world what elite looks like". Nope. *sigh* I wish someone would do an entire routine of rolls. Someone really good at rolls. Hell yes.

  • @echosaisis i love rolls- its my best part :)

  • He is so sweet. lovely

  • I've met him before and he is an absolute legend! He worked at haven and I was on holiday there for a week and I used to dance with him at night! haha and I was in the audience when he did his baton twirling on GMTV 2 years ago when they caught up with all the ex BGT finalists

  • what he does is not that difficult, but very good! keep it up!!!

  • fuck all you people who think baton twirling is easy, id like to see all you cocky shits grab a baton and do a fucking 2 spin and actually catch it! you all take the piss and say its a "stick". id like to see you all perform by yourself infront of a crowd. its the best feeling in the world. i did baton twirling for 2 years and i got alot from it and its a long life experience. i cant wait to have a daughter and show her. (thats if i still have my skills by then). (:

  • at a majorette comp i compeated against him and his troup LYNBAR i cryed when i found out he was competein against me and emma in the senior pom pom! I LOVE U CRAIG!! shut up peeple i love him!!!!!!! and i might be moving to his group :D xx

  • Nothing special . . .

  • @awesometwirler

    i really agree with that cause i learn't they twirls when i first started as well!! if you want to see some really amazing twirling look up stacy singer and then you will see what twirling really is!! not that he is shit or that, just saying x

  • i have probably been twirling for a shorter amount of time than him and i can do loads more then that!! all he was doing was, doing loops and that is it actually!!!!!!!!

  • RIDICULE!!! J'appelle ca des majorettes, pas du twirl. Une petite de 5 ans peut faire ca.

  • This routine truly isn't too difficult.... It's all about presentation and he definately gave a great performance. If you'd like to see some incredible technique, look up Hollie Nielson. (:

  • LOL "for 90 seconds i was praying so hard for you not to drop the stick" XD lol simon

  • :) legendary video, craig you have done your grandma well, r.i.p babra x <3

  • Are you kidding me? All he is doing is finger tricks, and holding it by the ends to spin it. He barely did a 1 spin. I understand with lights and all it's hard to see. But I learned all these tricks and more in the first 10 months of my years. And I wasn't some miracle child. These are basics.

  • @FlounciKat Barely 1 spin? Fuck off or post a video if you're so good.

  • fanfookingtastic hun well done xxxxx sue xxxx

  • he's not gay i no him he went to my school he's a bit older than me n hes not gay so stop bein harsh coz ur jeleaous!!

  • @TheJoebarbie  he actually is :') x

  • Wow how long has it been? and I still keep coming back to craig's performances . . . and for the record, once his parents knew he'd kept up with the baton, they were extraordinary proud - in fact they were cheering in the audience right next to gramma

  • @azianfuckimstupid wht tht hell is the matter wit ppl like yu. How bout yu just go bac to yur homophopic family and live inside yur bubble

  • Comment removed

  • He´s defenately good. Not best of the world by a long shot but defenately good and entertaining. I´m gonna sound like total fuckhead but I wonder how come he seems so athletic and at same time so fat?

  • @Azianboi28 you're a complete twat :D

  • man his parents are idiots for trying to make him stop.They should actually be proud of him

  • @AzianBoi28 Where he is gay or straight shouldn't matter. That was an amazing show he put on and his talent have nothing to do with who he finds sexually attractive. i think your a dick

  • haha he would be an awsome sword fighter :') 

  • IF what he did is baton twirling then what is this??!! youtube.com/watch?v=swSiKd6mmf­0

  • @weslerconquermaster don't think so

  • he is pretty good with a baton..

    ..i've actually met him, as he dances in my majorette association :)

  • @emilybob22 full of shit.

  • i think hes amazing actually unbeileveable

  • he's good. :) but hes not the best.. i do baton and i could do all the tricks that he does and im 13.. theres waay better people than him

  • Performance would be better with light off and instead of baton twirling would be glow sticks!!!!! :))) that's my opinion ...

  • oh what has he done to his hair??? but that was great, i love how into it he is.

  • great comment simon

  • this twirler won the croatian supertalent:

    watch?v=Qj7exH4Pgyc

  • Gah.  That was nothing compared to what I have seen.

  • You really can get somewhere when you follow your dreams.

    i think its the saddest thing how his parents didn't approve.

    he's a great role model :]

  • @Caligirl0229

    Absolutely. Craig wasn't the best baton twirler--look for clips of champions, mostly girl gymnasts. They do flips, walkovers, etc with the baton, even while it's in the air. HOWEVER---Craig is very likable, has his own flashy style (NOT "girly" at all!), & wins us over with his talent & personality. Can't beat that! He was passed over for the finals in favor of the Kombat Breakers, but, to me, Craig was the real star! Dance acts are a dime a dozen, but there's only one Craig.

  • One word: WOW!

    It is great to see someone blossom into a real star, especially someone so nice!

  • I just love this act,. It is unbelevable, he is SOOOO good.

  • that was so much fun to watch :) he's damn good!

  • my crage is amazing and if people dont like him then dont comment cos no ones cares bwt you people cos my crage rocks the show

    iloveyou xx

  • must say this was not impressive ive been twirling for only three years and can do a pretty impressivce job... i mean if hes very fluid and fun to watch but there is not hard tricks in there i wanna see some three turns, toss illusions, toss cartwheels, SHOW SOME MORE FUNDAMENTALS MAN! do some continous elbow rolls neck rolsss knives, fire baton fire knives... fun to watch not the best ive seen watch some girls from Texas Taft those girls are thirty million times better then me and him dissapoi

  • omfg shut the fuck you freak av noone crage all my life av competed with and evri think he is amazing you retard and he cann do lot that wot u can i must say and all thows yahh saying there dont even egsiste u freak so shut the fuck up !!!!!!!

  • @brittandgeorgie what are u saying i cant understand, is this a brettish accent ? :p

  • Omg Hes A Funstar At Primrose Valley Haven :O Craig Rocks :D x

  • Twirl your heart out, dude. You rock.

    The best response to bigots it to take joy in your life. It's also the best revenge: love yourself and your life, and have compassion right in the pinched, nasty, ugly little faces of racists, religious fanatics, homophobes, and all the other sorry, sick little haters.

    Just have your mates watch your back... There's nothing that makes bigots angrier than somebody else's good time.

  • je ne suis pas homophobe mais toutes les vidéos ou c'est des hommes qui font du twirling baton c'est des vrai pedales vive l'image qu'on donne, super !

    Je fais moi du twirling est connais des hommes qui font du twirling baton pas éféminer du tout

  • u got a fan in canada, mate. always.

  • Are there any MASIVE fans of Craig here by any chance?

  • I have a question (if anyone knows the answer):

    Does he get the baton to twirl (when he's simply holding it in his hand) by twirling it between his fingers, or does the weight of the knobs somehow cause it to circle around the arm? idk, thanks in advance...

    Anyway, I really like his perfomance. It's energetic, fun to watch by all means, and he also isn't full of crap like a lot of other entertainers seem to be.

  • ajjajajaja guaooooo es impresionante....

  • Nice !

  • him n his grandma.. lol... there so cute.

    He's amazing.. Alway sfollow ur dreammss

  • how did he do it actually

  • Brilliant!  Makes very hard moves look so easy. Bravo!!!

  • @Bugsyboy333 better than 90% of the world? so 701359400 people can twirl better than him? (the other 10% of the worlds population last i checked)

  • @balleand Well, they shoulda auditioned then...

  • he works at primrose valley holiday park haven now in yorkshire

  • He's seriously damn good... I'm wondering why he didn't came to the finals...

  • true leeds lad

  • Britney or Beyonce or Pink or someone needs to give this boy some Fire Batons and put in in a video STAT!.

    He's wonderfully talented. The control and grace of his performance. Outstanding!

  • i started baton twirling last year.

    then i wanted to quit, i hated it.

    now...

    i change my mind.

    =]]

  • why dose it matter if he's gay?

  • Hes Good, better tha em, but some things arnt right like changing from horizontal to vertical

  • greaaaat!!!

  • 0:35 ^^ <3

  • I Ave Been Doin Baton Twirling For 6 Yrs And I Wanna Go On Britains Got Talent But I Won't Compare To Him. He Is Graet

  • just go for it

  • Okay, I really don't want people to get mad at me for this. He is an amazing twirler, but when you actually pay attention to the difficulty of his audition, it wasn't that inpressive for me. I mean I still think he's great! But, he was only doing 2 turns. I'm working on a 4 and I have been in it for 3 years. But he's still adorable, and he will get far.

  • i like his act, but compared to the audition it looks like he's put on some timber. what goes on?

  • how simon didnt pick him to be in the final i consider a crime, he is so good, entertaining and mangaed to improve from autions, not many people do that!!!

  • I wouldn't even dream of doing that! He's really good! I just took my bronze grade! Im finding out in a few days if I've passed! I hope I have! Anyways, he's really good! Brilliant!

  • i would so do you in the butt

  • his hair is awesomeeee.

  • You can see at 0:52 he has thrown it to the back of the studio =]

  • love his hair

    lol

  • question he had two batons at the beginning at the end he had one where did it go??

  • waz wondering tht aswell lol

  • He Must Of Thrown It To One Side Or Something

  • lol it dissapeard at 0:35 lol

  • He but the batons together. The two became one.

  • I think. =P

  • Piers was right . . . he's a real star!

  • Comment removed

  • LOL oh reeaalllyy... then why dont u show us a video of you trying it =) mayb then u'll know that its not that easy.... i'll bet you cant even do it better than he can i think that hes REALLY awesome =D

  • @vickiluvindave

    I do think his stage presence and the formatting of his routine was brilliant, but honestly, a 1 or 2 spin isn't very impressive. When I was 12 I did a 4 spin.

  • I love his grandma. She supports him in every way and I think she's adorable

  • i totally agree

    if ur sis can do better than so wat

    yes hes a boy but hes brill

    if it was a girl we would still luv him

  • how about everybody just talks about him? not about how other people are better than him.

    that's not why this video is up here.

    HE'S AMAZING!

  • omg lovee him and his battons his hair is amazin isnt it and soo is his facee he is ded cutee xxxx

  • i just LUV his hair!!!

  • He seems so nice and humble...He's awesome! Whatever happened to him? This took place on June, 2007...Just wondering..I wish him the best!

  • he's so great. he picks the greatest songs! :D

    and he's cute.

    and his confidence went up SO much!

  • He is amazing, he is not only a great performer - he also has a VERY likable personality. I love this kid - he is amazing! He is charming, authentic, faszinating, and he is doing a great job on stage! He rocks. I wish him all the best for his future

  • lets see a video then...

  • well he actually had to do all this

    without the much needed support of

    his parents, which is really hard.

    thats what makes him so great

  • and yet he is on the stage performing and you're behind your computer...maybe you don't have that X factor which obviusly has nothing to do with talent or "how good someone is"

  • Thats so Cool! It looks really easy when he does it. What happened to his hair though?

  • i do baton twirling jst not as good as him iv'e been doin it 4 13 years!!

    he is amazin!

    =]

  • look no offence or anything but if u have been twirling for 13 years then u wud be a hell of a lot better than him.......i twirled for 6 years and i wud say i can do that and a bit more...........but yeh he is amazing i do agree......pineapple7979 that is amazing twilring not really bad for god sake

  • he is great to the untrained eye as you say..twirlers are far more adavanced than this, i agree.

    however, he is extremely likeable.

  • he's good...

  • hellla cute:)

  • he's amazing . and amazingly cute!!!! whatever he is or isn't he's deffinantly a ROCKSTAR!

  • I used to twirl in the sam federation as Craig and used to speak to him and his lovely Nan quite a lot, Craig is the nicest guy you'll ever meet and he is really talented, people should lay off the personal comments and focus on his abilities!!!

  • hes cinda cute n luff wot hes dun with his hair lool luff himm xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Fuckin Stupid parents..

  • hes well good

  • Great!

  • his moves r realy simple but well practiced and realy effective

  • Lovely!! :) kisses from Spain!!! wow!! you are reeeeaally good!!! really :)

  • He is amazing!

  • Let me entertain you - Robbie Williams. I think.

  • Whats the name of this song and who sings it?

  • p.s. has anyone thought what that would have looked like if he had used a luminous baton?

  • I think anyone that would know competitive baton twirling, in any sense, could see that this is a disgrace to the sport.

  • vegie44: Well pardon us and ouruntrained eyes if we like him so much. At the very least, he has introduced the sport (your sport) to a wider audience and most people now have an appreciation & interest for the sport. He wasn't gunning for an olympic medal, he was just out there to do what he loves doing!

  • its you that do not know what you are talking about!!they are many diffarent style's and he is VERY GOOD at his style

  • no because noone is sad enough to know competitive "baton twirling"

  • Like I have said before, there isn't a competition going on for the best baton dancer in the world. As far as we are concerned, you are all great. This is so entertaining and new (and before you say it's not new, how many famous baton dancers are there?) get out there and do what you love to do...

  • twirlerchick, it's just what simon said: it's not all about his performance, it's about him. he has that spark that made everybody love him; and yes, you may be better than him -or not- but he has a dream and he presented on BGT because that's what he loves...if you would've presented, how knows? maybe you could've done well

  • Omg He's Well Fit. I Dont Think He's Gay!! x

  • i think this is lee and not craig his brother?

  • just to say...

    Silver Gems Majorettes Officially love craig. we want him in our troupe!

    we voted!

    GOWAN CRAIG!!!

  • Craig is so fantastic, I could watch his routines all day.

  • :D hes my friend lmao he goes to my school he rocks

  • I'd rather we celebrate the kid's talent & courage rather than satisfy the vulgar curiosity of others (the very people he has tried to overcome!!!)

    The kid's top ace! An ordinary teen w/extraordinary talent. Evident his MySpace, he's been very appreciative & humbly overwhelmed by all the support (and fans!). Looking forward to see where this takes him, if not baton twirling, a career in acting perhaps? All the best to Craig and his family (esp. his Nana) Bless them.

  • who cares if hes gay - hes AMAZING GO CRAIG! x

  • Well, according to his myspace page. He is straight

    Can't add the full address but put his on the end of the myspace URL

    craig1505

  • Comments about his alleged homosexuality are, ok...i guess..as long as you show respect for the man, and for one sole reason: If he is gay, or faggot, is none of your goddamn business unless you are interested in having intercourse with him.

    I only see a young man with a skill and people happen to like it. the point of the video was his act, not his sexual orientation, but if that's all you see....then you must be particularly intrigued about that aren't you Mr. Macho?
