That false start & Simon making him stop has to have been pre-planned.

Mike, my thoughts exactly. This seems clearly planned, which is unfortunate. Because it immediately calls into question Susan Boyle's performance.

Now something tells me that Boyle may have been legit, but the show's producers may have thought they had to one-up the last show with this obvious ruse.

Bah, that's what I get for caring about reality TV for more than one clip.

I thought the same thing, that this was definately plan, by the show. There is no way that this is some kid, that tried out for the competition. He is very professional, while Susan Boyle comes accross like areal thing, this kid doesn't not.

Agreed... Simon you are a salesman... Pitching is one of the things u do best.
