I am disappointed to find out that they are allowing Shaheen Jafargholi to compete since he is already a professional that has been in movies and has performed singing in a Michael Jackson film. This is unfair to contestants that have not already been discovered. Shame on Simon and the other judges that are allowing this to happen. I just lost my respect for the show. I hope Susan Boyle wins, she deserves it. But it will probably be the boy to win, since a child always wins, just because they are a child, whether they deserve to win or not. This particular boy should not be allowed to be in the competition at all, due to his past performances in show business.

'disappointed in the contest'- WHO CARES if he's done a couple of jobs- he's hardly world-famous or rich from it, is he?! I'm fed up with people backing the underdog for the sake of it. This boy is a far greater talent (and a more rare voice!) than Susan Boyle (I'm a pro opera singer/teacher). There is no rule to say pro acts can't enter this. Many acts on the show have done paid work and said so openly on the show. This kid has a couple of years left to sing before his voice breaks. After that he may not have such a fantastic voice. This could be his opportunity to make a better life for his family. WHY penalise him for his talent?!? Boyle is a pleasant singer. This kid ROCKS! And 'a child always wins'? I'll just mention Paul Potts. WHO, btw, was only selling phones because after music college he wasn't good enough to get any proper opera work.... Good job Joe Public has cloth-ears...

Look he won fair and square, its called Britains Got Talent and Shaheen definitly has talent!! Im sure there were many people that entered the competition that were professionals at what they performed on the show, its not Shaheens fault that he has the type of talent that Simon and the other judges were looking for! Hes a wonderful singer, and if he didnt sing the song "Whos Loving You" by Micheal Jackson i doubt that he would be where he is today! Remember people it was that one song that changed the minds of the judges and everybody else! And by the way Simon knows what to look for when it comes to talent! So good on Shaheen for winning the boy deserves it!
