Move Over Susan Boyle, Britain's Got A Brand-New 'Talent.' He's 12.


True, 12-year-old Shaheen Jafargholi has only clocked a couple million viral views compared to Susan Boyle's meme-smashing 100 mill, but then this Welsh boy only been blowing-up inboxes for a couple days with his holy-hell rendition of young Michael Jackson's "Who's Loving You?" (Um, did anyone else think this was originally an En Vogue song?)

Crazy thing is we're still on the first round of auditions for the suddenly inescapable reality show Britain's Got Talent which, of course, doesn't even air here. Not sure why not, though, since I can't recall a single pop-cult 'splosion like this off the stateside "America's Got Talent." Maybe b-grade judges Sharon Osbourne and David Hasslehoff scares off all the properly skilled candidates?

Anyway, here's this week's BGT phenom. Looking forward to seeing who Simon Cowell will wow us with next weekend.

Oh, and in other news American Idol is apparently still on the air.
