Stunning.
Reminded me of an act from Au's Got Talent in 2008.

I don't get it either. It's just a pretty average floor gym routine to music. Bored me and I can't see where he can go with it even if he won the whole show.

It's a mix of ballet and contemporary in style. You've got to really appreciate the art and I don't think Britain really do, which is why I can't see him winning the show if he gets to the final.

Is he only 11? He was very good for an 11 year old.


He was shaky and his transitions were not very good, but for that age....

All James did was prance about the stage. I could put on lycra and do that just as well as he did.

He's also autistic, I think that was said in his first audition. I think he did really well and deserved to go through. It's not my type of entertainment but he was very good at what he did.
The bell ringers bored the life out of me.

I don't get this style of 'dancing'. I thought dancing was moving to music, not a dance/gym routine while music is playing. The music and dancing didn't go together at all.

I'm not denying he's any good, I just think some of the others were better.

No you couldn't. Like someone said above, we in Britain don't appreciate this style of dance. It may look easy, but it's far from it.

Forget that he's autistic because that doesn't come into his dancing. My kids both took ballet lesson and at James' age, my son wanted to be the next Billy Elliot. So after the many years of watching my kids, I may not be an expert, but I can appreciate talent when I see it.

Good luck to James, he deserves to do well. Can't see him winning though.

It didn't even fit the music, and was rubbish.

I was a professional ballet dancer and this just gives it a bad name, this was nothing and had nothing to do with ballet, if you get into the nitty gritty.

Autistic or not, he didn't fill the stage at all, no presence, and most local ballet schools will have someone better than that.

Harsh but true.

I love him and voted. I want him to win.

I personally think he is too good for the show. With more years of training i can see him being very successful.
