Incredible voice!
Daily Star Sunday -- BOY singer Shaheen Jafargholi wowed Simon Cowell with a Michael Jackson hit – then set his sights on meeting the King of Pop himself. The 12-year-old starred as the young Jacko in a theatrical tour of Thriller. And he dreams of seeing the wacko star at London’s O2 Arena this summer. He said: “To see him live would be amazing. I hope he sees me on Britain’s Got Talent. It would be a dream come true to actually go and watch him, so here’s hoping that the show or Simon Cowell can make it happen.” He added, cheekily: “I’d love to meet Michael. We could even compare notes on performing!”
But it nearly all ended in disaster for Shaheen when Simon halted him seconds into his rendition of The Zutons’ hit Valerie and told him he’d made a mistake. He confessed: “At that moment I thought I’d blown my only chance. “I had this huge ‘uh oh’ moment and expected to be walking straight off the stage.” But then he blew the crowd away with his version of the Jackson Five’s Who’s Loving You. Shaheen continued: “I couldn’t believe my luck when Simon gave me a second chance and asked for another song>>>

It's sad .....
by Jfar (not verified) on Sat May 30, 2009 01:54 PM PDTIt's sad if you look at the Video before Simon allows (Shaheen jafaragholi ) to sing a second time ~ or a redo ... Simon is actually flips him off ... maybe there is a bigger story behind all this ... check out the video again ....
your comment about Simon
by Kati (not verified) on Wed Apr 22, 2009 09:37 AM PDTDear Ari,
i have not watched the show but if you don't mind i would like to reply to you.
just by living in one of the most multicultural societies of the world, i can tell you that British never dare to do what seems to have happened to Shahin, to a British. i am not racist, i work for Hospice too. doing charity work has nothing to do with this. if this happens in Iran, unfortunately it is a Norm and many of us is not proud of it. but this is not Norm in Britain.
all the best.
Kati
Bravo to this young man
by Kaveh Nouraee on Tue Apr 21, 2009 12:24 PM PDTGreat voice, and he has proven that he can quickly adapt under pressure.
At first, Simon may appear to some as the jerk, but it goes to show that he knows his stuff. The first song didn't showcase Shaheen's obvious talent and abilities the way the second song did. Simon Cowell didn't get to be the success that he is by being nice.
thanks sarshar45 and thank

I can't believe the professionalism of this boy at the age of 12
by Anonymous77 (not verified) on Mon Apr 20, 2009 10:48 AM PDTHe got stopped thrown into seriously deep waters and just did his job.
Also quite a thing that the welsh language furthers so much voice talent
Go Shaheen!
by Anonymous5465465 (not verified) on Mon Apr 20, 2009 06:24 AM PDTBrilliant performance! He knocked it right out of the water! Go Shaheen! The kids got a lot of talent and I like his confidence.

by Dundeesmom (not verified) on Mon Apr 20, 2009 06:02 AM PDTI thought Shaheen had a great voice but my feelings are that Simon should have let him continue with the song he started with - he's there to judge the performance - not stick his nose in the song that wasa chosen and also, I'm shocked that after he told him what to do - he gave him a standiong ovation when he didn't to Susan Boyle - I can tell where this is going!! This is why I don't watch his shows here in America - he's a idiot!!
Just because he has a
by fs (not verified) on Mon Apr 20, 2009 05:03 AM PDTJust because he has a non-existent iranian father (who's not in his life!) it doesn't mean that he is an iranian!!!!!!! He has never met his father! He lives with his mom (who isn't even english!) So basically he's not even english!!!!!!
And a standing ovation for Simon Cowell
by Ari Siletz on Sun Apr 19, 2009 08:46 PM PDTYou are underestimating the role of the producer/director in this successful show. The performers are pre-auditioned, and the pre-audtion judges would have known right away that Shaheen's strongest song was "Who's loving you," not his favorite: "Valerie." They likely saw the opportunity to help Shaheen shine by setting up the audience for the "ugly ducking" effect. Shaheen was probably unaware of the showbiz trick being played, but performers tend to forgive the director's professional cruelty once they realize what a favor he/she has done them. By the way two of Iran's greatest directors, Kiarostami and Makhmalbaf are notorious for playing tricks with actors to bring out the best in them. In this case Simon is sacrificing himself to a bully image so that little Shaheen could "show him up."
Shaheen your are Awesome!!!
by Bache Shir (not verified) on Sun Apr 19, 2009 06:42 PM PDTand Simon is no "genius" he's simply a cock-sucker! Shaheen with his great singing showed Simon what kinda jerk he really is.
Best wishes to Shaheen!!!!
The boy got talent! Iranian of the Day?
by gol-dust on Sun Apr 19, 2009 06:05 PM PDTGood luck to him!
Beautiful voice!
by choghok on Sun Apr 19, 2009 02:07 PM PDTWhat can you say, gods gift.
I hope that he is left to grow up before he is shot into fame.
I guess Simon thing was rehearsed otherwise it is too cruel to put up a kid through that pressure.

Simon is a genius at this job
by IRANdokht on Sat Apr 18, 2009 11:52 PM PDTSimon was absolutely right about the first song. Shaheen's voice was much better than that!
What a great little performer. What a great video clip. I watched it twice in a row and I am totally amazed.
Thank you Sarshar for sharing.

Can this kid sing or can he SING?
I could never understood why Simon can't stop being the J-e-r-K most of the times, But this little guy sure gave him something it will take a long time for him to forget.
