The past week has been quite a tide for popular television show, Britain’s Got Talent. It seems that Susan Boyle, who until late was running away with all the accolades and pity votes, has finally found a roadblock in 12 year old Shaheen Jafargholi, a sweet Welch boy who has stormed his way into the show and is tipped to be the only competition(and a lethal one at that!!!) to Boyle.
Though punters have tipped the two to compete in the final showdown, inside sources have let out that an unexpected twist is on the cards, suggesting a premature exit for either of the two, who rank quite high on the popularity charts.
Coming back to Shaheen Jafargholi, the 12 year old wonder had won umpteen hearts over when he presented his rendition of Michael Jackson’s legendary ‘Who’s Loving You’. And that’s when Simon Cowell, the show’s prima-facie judge, mentor and Producer quoted, “This is how one song can change your life”. The kid’s gaining a lot of mileage riding on his last week’s performance and is a serious contender for the top position on the show, given how his popularity is spiralling upwards. By the way, around 3 million hits have been registered on his You-Tube video.
While Boyle, on the other hand, has been the forerunner in the title race since the start. With her mesmerising performances, coupled with self-empathising comments, thus capturing millions of pity votes, she sure caught everyone’s fancy.
Besides being gifted with excellent vocal skills, the two also share terrific affinity to Cowell. Viewers may actually relish a face-off between the perennial virgin and the young ‘Stevie Wonder’, what with the drama that surrounds their performances. Cowell has sure played his cards right.
Well, personally, i believe that Boyle’s fanclub lacks the very knack of spotting a genius of 12 year old Shaheen’s calibre, and ridden in a wave of pity and empathy,shall to stick the norms of supporting the underdog (who, right now, should be Shaheen anyways!!). So while you fools chant Boyle’s name over and over again,,, for me,the 12 year old Shaheen Jafargholi is a hero all the way. C’mon guys, give the child a chance!!!
