Last week, when word broke that a fat British middle-aged version with the voice of an angel had sung Les Miserables on Britain’s Got Talent, my inbox flooded with Youtube links and Facebook wall postings, with friends assuring me that I would “love her.” Her, in this case, was Susan Boyle, who, thanks to the unstoppable media machine, is now a household name in even the smallest of Panamanian huts. Boyle used her own outwardly appearance to defy expectation, and proudly announced that she would never change for nobody. This is all well and good for Susan Boyle, but bad news for me, who from the get go couldn’t buy into her story. She was great the first time I saw it. By the time my Great-Grandmother emailed it to me from the grave, I was over it.

This is not the case with the latest viral video star born from Simon Cowell’s womb, 12 year old singer Shaheen Jafargholi. I could watch Shaheen and his adorable little doll face belt out Michael Jackson all the live long day. In fact, if we’re really going to be honest with each other… I even got a little teary eyed. So you can keep your Susan Boyle, world, because I’ve got a much more adorable virgin to get worked up about… and dare I say, more talented:

Word of advice — he should just go ahead and change his name to “Shaheen”. It’s an elegant and apropos stage name.
