Shaheen Jafargholi...

Things have really changed for Shaheen since appearing on Britain's Got Talent. He sang at Michael Jackson's Memorial service on Tuesday. He was invited by the Jackson family because Michael loved his voice so much and had invited him to appear with him at the o2 when Michael's London concerts began.

Since then everyone and I mean everyone has wanted to interview him. Here are a couple he's done.

Here he is on Larry King.



Here's the link to the video of an interview with Channel Five.

Britain’s Got Talent star Shaheen Jafargholi talks to Five News about performing at yesterday’s memorial concert for Michael Jackson.

The Welsh schoolboy Shaheen Jafargholi proved an instant hit. The 12 year old from Swansea was one of the few artists to win a standing ovation from the audience. The largely American crowd at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles roared with approval as he belted out the Jackson Five hit Who's Lovin You?

Choreographer Kenny Ortega revealed the King of Pop had personally requested his appearance in his O2 concerts after watching the youngster on Britain's Got Talent.

Ortega said: "Shaheen was invited by Michael to join him in his London shows so I just wanted to introduce him to everybody and to say thank you."

After delighting the crowd with his performance, Shaheen, wearing a black suit with a white T-shirt and yellow flower, said: "I love Michael Jackson.

"I just want to thank him for blessing me and everyone on this earth with his amazing music."

Shaheen has sung in the West End production of the Jackson stage musical Thriller Live!.

Rob Phillips, the youngster's headteacher at Dylan Thomas Community School, Swansea, said: "We are all immensely proud of Shaheen."

"We were proud when he took part in Britain's Got Talent, when he reached the final, but this has exceeded any expectations any of us could possibly have had."

He added: "You can't get any bigger than this."

Mr Phillips said he was told about Shaheen's invitation to perform in LA last Thursday, but was sworn to secrecy.

"We were approached because in order for youngsters to perform anywhere during school time, they have to have their teacher's permission to release them," he said.
