britains got talent semifinalists 2009

Susan Boyle has been making all the headlines this year during Britain’s Got Talent but there are a host of other acts capable and maybe more worthy of winning the competition - which ends with a live final this Saturday night.

Susan Boyle This kid, with the impossible-to-pronounce name of Shaheen Jafargholi, is one of them. In terms of pure talent, he blows Susan Boyle out of the water. And he’s only 12-years-old! He possesses a truly astounding amount of natural ability.

This is his performance from last night’s semi-final. He sang And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going from the Broadway musical Dreamgirls, famously recorded by Jennifer Hudson for the movie version. It’s a fantastically hard song to sing but Shaheen pulls it off.

Believe it or not though, he didn’t actually win! Stavros Flatley, the one-trick pony novelty act got more votes than him, meaning Jafargholi had to be saved by the judges. And even then Simon Cowell didn’t vote for him. Which goes to show how much he knows.
