Susan Boyle or Shaheen Jafargholi in Britain's Got Talent

Oh me, oh my. The Brits do have talent!! Another sensation has emerged - in the very same Britain's Got Talent contest.

Pundits are saying that the sensational newcomer and angelic charmer, 12 year old Shaheen Jafargholi from Swansea, England is runner-up to Susan Boyle. Some don't agree; of course.

Others are calling Shaheen Jafargholi a "fake" (Shaheen Jafargholi is FAKE! - 12 Year Old Singer - Britain's Got Talent 2009) though personally, I think that is the wrong word. Others have called Susan Boyle the same thing.

Have a look at Shaheen on YouTube at: Shaheen Jafargholi - 12 Year Old Singer - Britains Got Talent 2009 Ep 2 and decide for yourself.

I certainly don't discount the fact that the appearance and what went on there might have been "set up". Same with Susan Boyle. Of course, to even be on the stage, as Susan Boyle was, she had already gone through the first rounds of audition and it definitely would not have been the first time the judges, or some of them, had heard her remarkable powers.

The same holds true for Shaheen and Simon's telling him "You've got it all wrong" does indeed seem stagy. Anyone who has seen any part of American Idol or any of the other performances on Britain's' Got Talent would know that it is not at all likely that a judge (not even Simon) would stop a performance when the singing of Amy Winehouse's "Valerie", though not as good Shaheen's second choice of "Who's Loving You", was certainly not bad at all.

But to say either of them were "fakes" ... it is ludicrous to hear either of them sing and think that there is anything fake about their talent.

Set-up or not, it is equally clear that cynicism aside, the reaction, pleasure, and enjoyment from most people and audiences - and even some of the judges at least, are totally congruent and sincere.

A commentator has said "I have a massive problem with that action by Cowell because it creates an uneven playing field for Susan Boyle. No one helped Ms. Boyle at all - not that she needed it - so why help someone else?" (in blog "Susan Boyle v. Shaheen Jafargholi With Simon Cowell's Help") I don't think Simon was helping either. He might have been helping both. It would not at all surprise me that Simon Cowell was "in the know" about these 2 very talented people beforehand. Afterall, he is the creator of the "Got Talent" series that has gone international. And snappy and mouthy he may be, but he is no dumb fool and certainly, there is more business acumen to him than just being a well-known judge on talent contests.

Shaheen Jafargholi - a name that is a bit hard to easily remember - is a beautiful name and rolls off the tongue once the mouth gets used to it. He certainly has made an impact and if you have not watched it, you are missing out on some very pleasurable moments.

Thousands of fans already for both of them and international praise from stars like Demi Moore; it really is a joy to know that these accolades have gone to these two inspirational talents.
