Callum was dreadful tonight but was praised to the high heavens. That kid does not have a good voice or performance skills, he relied on gimmicks for his performance both times. I think both his parents and the judges are to blame for instilling false hope. Saying this kid should be in the West End is ridiculous, he is not anywhere near the standard at the moment for a kid's role.

The body popping 11 year old looks annoying too. I hate his style of "dancing".

Like someone said, just looks like he's been on a red bull binge

Totally agree. That stupid Jungle Book look was so naff. And could he sing? Could he heck!

Rubbish from start to finish. And does he have a career in showbusiness? Not on your Nelly. I bet at 18 he'll be serving in a fast food restuarant.

It was an awful performance even for his age.

Great for target practice though...(loads up high-velocity rifle)

Hideous! He gives annoying, bratty stage-school kids everywhere an even worse name.

Yeh I didn't find his singing that impressive. And no Piers, his smile was certainly not contageous, quite the opposite in fact.

I didn't like it, it was way too corny - he didn't have any star power, moved around the stage like a brick and repeated the same 3 moves. The voice was mediocre, the girl from 2 grand was 10 times better and deserved to go through over him!

I was also suprised how weak his voice was !!

I like him. I think he is talented, I think he's sweet, and I think he handled his exit with great dignity considering his age.

But I preferred the other two who went through.

aside from his handsome, adorable face. i thought he was cool, yes cool because these kinds of acts are usually cheesy to me. i enjoyed it. at least he handled being rejected with care i know you guys will say but he was in stage school, but he is likeable in my book even with his cheesy grin lol.

and the girl natalie even though she was cute i wasn't taken in by her age and knew her voice wasn't up too scratch that day..........

I thought he was dreadful too. Awful, tuneless voice, no co-ordination. Just a cheeky grin and bags of enthusiasm. I liked the kid a lot, but he was not good, just keen.

His voice wasn't very good and I don't particularly like him (almost totally naked or not) but I thought his voice sounded like it was breaking earlier, it's certainly dropped a lot since the auditions. Might explain why it sounded weak.

I thought he sounded like he had a cold. But, I enjoyed it, it was fun.

Typical stage show kid act, made me cringe as did his forced smile.

Too many singers are sounding like it, but his voice actually sounded deeper than before, not scratchier like it does when you have a cold, and it wasn't really coming and going like Shaheen's did (and he sounded fine on NA10 when they were talking about Susan, so hopefully he's over it) when he was speaking.

He isn't in any more and we probably won't hear much about him again so we'll probably not find out - but although for some people voices just break overnight (from what his mum said a few weeks ago, Elliot's seems to have) others just slide down slowly - mine did that, and I could practically carry on singing whilst it was going on, you just have to work out what you can sing as it's altering.

Bless him, his grin is more demonic than cheeky

He grins too much, but arguably it is better than his dancing/singing

Maybe that's a bit harsh, considering his condition, but

Having recently seen Billy Elliot at the Victoria in London, I have to agree that this little performance was barely necessitated.

The highlight of his performance was the men/women in the suits
