While other acts can forget or fluff their lines, there is not much chance of that happening with a pre-programmed voice synthesizer act. I'm not sure that it is fair on the other acts in the contest. A major part of any performance is the delivery. If an able bodied man went on stage and read the same script, would he have the same response from a live audience? If the honest answer is 'Yes' then fair enough. If the honest answer is 'No' ...... I thought it was a bit patronising, but maybe thats because I just didnt find him funny.
