Just a couple of weeks ago the world and the judges of “Britain’s Got Talent” show went ga-ga over 47-years-old Susan Boyle from West Lothian, Scotland who wowed everyone with her rendition of “I dreamed a dream”.

Now the Internet and the news outlets have moved Susan aside in favour of cute, dimpled 12-year-old Shaheen Jafargholi, who lives in Swansea, Wales, with his single mother and a cat.

His rendition of Michael Jackson’s "Who’s Loving You" got the judges on their feet and going ga-ga all over again.

Judge Simon Cowell was gushing over Shaheen’s singing prowess: "This is how one song can change your life. And this may be the start of something special for you young man…", while Piers Morgan proclaimed, "Wales has got talent"

Granted Shaheen has a great voice and he was fantastic, some netizens are however saying that Simon was not fair in giving Shaheen a second chance when his original rendition of Amy Winehouse's "Valerie" was, in Simon’s words, “you got this really wrong…”

Now the question being bandied around is: Would Simon have given Susan the same chance had she bungled her first attempt?

The jury is still out. Anyway, judge for yourself by watching Shahreen on the YouTube video.
