It seems Susan Boyle will have to fend off competition from 12 year old Shaheen Jafargholi in the race to win Britain’s Got Talent this year.

The 48 year old Scot has become a sensation since singing I Dreamed A Dream on the show last week.

The video of Susan belting out the Les Miserables song has had over 20 million hits on YouTube- and its even reported she will appear on Oprah!

But after Saturday’s show she has a serious rival. Shaheen came on stage and delivered a dodgy version of Amy Winehouse’s Valerie before changing songs and impressing with The Jackson 5’s Who’s Loving You.

Getting slightly ahead of himself the youngster told The Mirror he wont have the same problems as his idol Wino:

He said: “I may be young but I’m so focused on what I want to do. I won’t end up doing drugs or drinking or anything bad like that. I won’t get any bad habits.”

You’ve gotta beat Boyle first kid!
