He has the AH...... factor disability or no disability. I predicted last years winner correctly and I feel pretty confident he will win

He may well do, but hope not as he is funny, but not that good.

I agree he has a great chance but the other front runners are Francine Lewis and of course Attraction. In therms of variety they should win.

I still think Attraction will win - look how the public got behind Spelbound, even with competition from... err... the wood chopper.

If Attraction do win, just imagine the outrage, from the fact they aren't even British (as much as I do like them).

I'm not saying he doesn't have talent, but the truth is he wouldn't be in the final if he wasn't in a wheelchair.

Most of his routine on Tuesday made no reference to his disability. Had he just done that, his routine was still rather funny so I think he would have still made it through.

I can't believe people are making excuses. They wouldn't say anything about any other young act who does well in the competition. The whole 'if he wasn't disabled he wouldn't have gotten through' business is getting tiresome.

I wouldn't mind of Jack does win because it would be nice to see a comedian win.

Irrelevant. Whether he refers to it or not, some people will still vote for him because of the disability regardless. I'm not saying that all voters did so, maybe some actually find him funny, but some certainly do vote that way.

Disability aside, I think kids get an easier ride on the show in general.

i am not saying he is terrible but he isn't as funny as the judges laughter would have you believe .

I know what you mean. He was amusing and seemed a nice chap. I did wonder though when it was announced that he had won, did I see a little bit of cockiness? He did not seem overly impressed, but maybe I am being unfair here....

I have full respect for this kid and his fight against his disability, but sadly he is just not 'that' funny. His gag delivery feels too forced, and the material, while ranging from mildly witty to average, is nothing new.

No, he wasn't being cocky. He was trying to stay his relaxed and laid back self. Part of his act is his dry delivery, he was trying to maintain that when the results were given.

Other than liking Alice, Attraction are the act that I remember the most.

I think it's obvious the kid is not even remotely arrogant or cocky in his demeanour... he is a normal kid struggling with a crippling disability and trying to make something of himself. As far as character goes, he is the salt of the earth and example to all other disabled kids out there.

Agreed. He has funny bones. A naturally funny comedian. He makes you laugh with his ad libs and not just his script. He will have a long career ahead of him!

Agreed. Simon is likely to make more money from a group, but they are very talented as well.

Actually I changed my mind, just watched his last set and it was actually better (in terms of material, if not necessarily delivery) than I thought the second time around. I was absolutely knackered first time I watched that live episode.
