Britain's Got Talent star has TV and stage experience
Tuesday, 21 April 2009
Britain's Got Talent fans have been flooding internet forums with complaints after Shaheen Jafargholi's impressive CV was leaked online.
The 12-year-old wowed the judges and audience at the audition in Cardiff, which was televised on Saturday.
It's now emerged Shaheen has appeared on Casualty and Torchwood and attended the prestigious Mark Jermin Stage School.
'I think it's a long, long way from the spirit of the totally unknown, inexperienced amateur, everyday person we're supposed to believe in,’ says one fan.
But a show spokesman insists Shaheen has not broken any rules.
'Britain's Got Talent is open to everyone whether they are professional or amateur,' the rep tells the Daily Mail.

I'm really shocked at how "set up" the Shaheen "audition" seemed to be. Certainly, the child has talent, but he can't hold a candle to the raw emotion Susan Boyle exudes when she sings. Susan sings from her soul; Shaheen sings only from his vocal chords. Not his fault - he's simply too young to put anything but staged emotion into his delivery (and he's had a lot of training for the stage). I look forward to buying all of Susan's future recordings, but I wouldn't want Shaheen's even if they were free.
I cant believe how jealous people can be - the child is talented and how anyone can dispute that is beyond me, you dont have to be of a certain age to put emotion into song, of Course Susan is very talented also but imean come on - credit where credit is due - i think allthe people slating Shaheen seem alot more childish than he does.
Okay, the kid's talented, but it's hardly fair to compare someone with so much stage training who already has their door wide open to another person with one opportunity for fame. They should have categories within the show for the degree of expertise and training someone has, that way no-one can complain and it's a fair competition.
