Competition for Susan Boyle

Celebrity News - Susan Boyle or Shaheen Jafargholi?

One week after Susan Boyle became a global superstar after her audition on "Britain's Got Talent," a twelve-year-old Welsh boy has been praised for his "life-changing" performance on the talent show.

Shaheen Jafargholi got a standing ovation from Simon Cowell but his audition had not started well when Cowell halted the audition after just one verse of the Zutons' song "Valerie."

Cowell told Jafargholi "You've got this really wrong. What do you sing apart from that?"

Jafargholi said he could sing "Who's Loving You," by Smokey Robinson and sang it so perfectly that Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden rose to their feet to applaud him.

Cowell said to him "This is how one song can change your life. This may be the start of something special for you young man."

Piers Morgan has said Jafargholi could be a challenger to Susan Boyle for the show's $146,000 first prize.

"Once Simon got him to sing the right kind of song for his voice, he was sensational. Like a young Stevie Wonder," Morgan said.

Jafargholi said he had been singing since the age fo two. "When I was a bit older my mum got me some singing lessons and my voice just got bigger and bigger. Hopefully this is going to be my big break."
