The 12-year-old boy who last night stormed into the semi-final of Britains Got Talent has revealed he almost didnt take part in the show.
Shaheen Jafargholi, whose singing gave judge Amanda Holden goosebumps, had to persuade his mother he was not too young to go on the show.
The singer from Swansea was banned from auditioning for last years show at the age of ten by his mother Karen.
But she relented for this series after he had shown his maturity by starring as a young Michael Jackson in the stage musical Thriller Live.
Shaheen did a six-week run with the show in Wales and went to Germany, Holland and Ireland on tour.
It was his version of Jacksons Whos Lovin You from the show that had the audience and judges in raptures.
He had needed a second chance after Simon Cowell stopped him halfway through his performance of Amy Winehouses Valerie.
Cowell told him: You got this really wrong. What do you sing apart from that?
After he sang the Michael Jackson song, Cowell told him: This is how one song could change your life. This may be the start of something special for you, young man.

RES2さんへ
審査員のサイモンは、
「You got this really wrong...」
「What do you sing apart from that?」
と言っています。
彼に才能があると見抜いたサイモンが、Amy Winehouseの"Valerie"の物真似に終わりそうな少年を危惧して、「君、何かすごい勘違いをしてるよ。「この曲以外では、何を歌うつもりでいるの?(セカンド・チョイスは何?)」と聞いたら、シャヒーンくんが、 「"Who’s Loving You" by Michael Jackson.(セカンド・チョイスは)、マイケル・ジャクソンの"Who’s Loving You"」と答え、サイモン・コーウェルが、「You want to give that a go?」 「それを歌ってみてくれる?」とゴー・サインを送ることになります。
それから、「This is how one song can change your life. This may be the start of something special for you, young man.」とサイモンが絶賛し、アマンダ(ホールデン)が、前々回の勝者のPaul Pottsと前回の勝者のGeorge Sampsonと並べて、「I do the goosebump test. I got it with Paul Potts, I got it with George Sampson, and I got it with you!(感動の)鳥肌度ってあるけど、ポール・ポッツとジョージ・サンプソンと同じくらいの鳥肌が立ったわよ。」と、大賛辞を送ることになりました。
