  3. I have never watched australias got talent,i must say the two judges have i assume talent but the overweight bearded one,he is not funny, lacks just about everything that is required to be in public view
    how did he get that job?

  6. i love you jack i first saw you at school spectacular i was in the choir you were amazing singing true colours i live in ourimbah witch is near goford in nsw
    and i was abel to wach jack on AGT kiley danni and brian do not know how lucky they are i felt proud to say i was at school spec when u were too i also watched you on dancing with the starz tour so great i loveeeee youuu JACK <3<3<3<3

  7. hi there i have read a few of the knocking comments, im a professional myself , having been recently signed to a major label in The usa, (Im an aussie girl from Unanderra Nsw) . 1) this boy has talent ive seen lots of vocalists in my 15 yrs as an entertainerand Jack is one of the best ive seen .
    2) he can reach notes now , his voice will resemble something like John farnhams when he matures , he is going to be bigger than any i reckon
    3) unless you are a singer , dont knock the boy , support him and encourage him , we need kids like him out there
    anyway hope you all enjoy

  8. GooooooJack.what a performance. I have watched it over and over. Kyle had no idea how incredible your performance was, he not being a singer couldn’t understand what he had witnessed. There are only a handful of people who can readch the notes jack did. Just look at the reaction from (singers) Brian and Dani. Go Jack, you are incredible.

  10. i only hope that oneday i can be as good as all these losers that knock a kid for having a go! Cause clearly they are better than all the rest of us … Not.

    Win or lose you have made a hell of a lot of peoople smile and always remember that….

    “never worry about what someone has to say about you because while they are busy trying to destroy you, you are being exactly what they only wish they could be!”

    Go for it dude!

  11. Jack I heard there was a young fellow who blew away the crowd on AGT singing a particular Whitney Houston song, but when I heard you sing for the first time I couldn’t help but replay you singing over and over about 5-6 times. I simply couldn’t believe a young fellow like you could hit those big notes as perfect as you did. Jack you have an incredible voice for a young man, stay grounded as I’m sure you will.

    I’m quite sure you made your Dad very proud Jack, I hope he was listening, because he has a special young boy.

    As Danni stated you made all Aussies proud the moment you hit the big notes in the Whitney Houston song, great work young man. I believe we already have a winner of the AGT show..

  12. Jack I watched you AGT the other night I had goose bumps all over. I taped and have watched it several time. You were just lovely so keep up the good work. To your mum and dad you must be so proud. Congrats to you both. I will be watching you throught the show so you go and enjoy.

  17. A Beatles bowl cut with a brushed forward fringe does not instantly make someone Justin Bieber.

    I wasn’t as bowled over by this kid as everyone else because there are thousands of teens out there who can sing power ballads. It is almost cliched on talent shows to get kids like this. Cast your mind back to season one of AGT. Bonnie, the 12-year-old girl who won, had a voice as big as Jack’s. Mark Vincent, the 15-year-old tenor (and the most extraordinary talent they have found thus far) had a very big voice, more developed than Jacks. It is not unusual, some kids have an innate talent for this kind of thing.

    @D, Jack does not have very little experience. He’s had a lot. He has been singing since he was three and has taken part in numerous eisteddfods and concerts. He has won prizes in amateur comps for his singing. He is not some kid who has been singing into his hairbrush for donkey’s years hoping for his big break. He has been performing for quite some time.

  19. Um, all i can say is Wow !! I think you have surpassed bieber, jackson and justin in performance as a new talent, you can only improve with age……God bless and good luck from USA !

  20. It doesn’t matter if he wins or loses he stood up there and sang this song like a professional with very little experience. How many people could do that? Remember he is a 14 year old boy so find me a 14 year old boy that does not have a hairdo exactly the same and he is the odd one out! And when it is all over if he does end up where he came from then we will be very proud to have him. Your whole community is behind you Jack. Remember that and we will keep you grounded. You are one of the nicest kids I have ever met and I am very proud to know you! Bally Pride! Hold on tight buddy!

  21. I can’t be bothered reading all the criticism published here but for Anyone that can sing professionally, the song Jack chose is the ultimate hardest Whitney songs. To hit each note the way he did so perfectly is a dream for any singer. Not anyone can pull that off !! no matter how talented, experienced or how much u practice!! Its a hard hard hard song and he tackled it perfectly!! 10000/10 !!!

  22. To Sally: haha….I’m not jealous at all. I clearly said: he’s got potential, he’s got beautiful talent.
    Some people can sing well without music and did not sound like shouting. Many other sounds like shouting. That’s why I said Jack needs more practice. I support him 100%. Just relax! And Jack as a rising star should listen to any constructive comment. Thank you.

  23. You champion, what a sensational start to your career .Don’t take any notice of some w*nkers comment’s on here, they are entitled to voice their jealous and uneducated points of view. You are a young Aussie having a go ,so you go sing high and proud

  25. You people out there bagging Jack are just so incredibly Lame! critisising an obviously very talented good looking young man dedicated to and doing what he loves…..Singing… and damn well i must say is just so small minded. remember the old saying jealousy is a curse! While you are bagging Jack out you guys are obviously going absolutely nowhere with your lives!
    Jack ! you are fantastic mate, you have an awesome voice and super talented, follow your dreams and reach for the stars because you are going to soar to heights that will even amaze you! I wish you all the best and look forward to watching you become a huge success.
