VIDEO CLIP OF WEEK: Shaheen Jafargholi,12 , Brits Got Talent 2009, blows crowd, and Simon away! WOW!



I have to share the latest "Brits Got Talent" drama going on across the Pond. Trust me. Sometimes "talented" kids can really drive me batty. But after watching this performance...I have changed my mind.

A 12-year-old boy last night stormed into the semi-final of Britains Got Talent has revealed he almost didnt take part in the show.

Shaheen Jafargholi
, whose singing gave judge Amanda Holden goosebumps, had to persuade his mother he was not too young to go on the show.

The singer from Swansea was banned from auditioning for last years show at the age of ten by his mother Karen. But she relented for this series after he had shown his maturity by starring as a young Michael Jackson in the stage musical Thriller Live.

Shaheen did a six-week run with the show in Wales and went to Germany, Holland and Ireland on tour. It was his version of Jacksons "Whos Lovin You" from the show that had the audience and judges in raptures.

He had needed a second chance after Simon Cowell stopped him halfway through his performance of Amy Winehouse's Valerie.
Cowell told him: You got this really wrong. What do you sing apart from that?

After he sang the Michael Jackson song, Cowell told him: This is how one song could change your life. This may be the start of something special for you, young man.

What an amazing talent! Watch out Susan Boyle, this kid could steal your thunder.
