Shaheen Jafargoli

Hallo people,

This is me posting again. A little rushed.

U can go to the following website to watch Shaheen Jafargoli's singing on Britain's Got Talent. His singing is really amazing.

There're quite a few things u can learn from him. Firstly, he's an amazing singer.(Duh) First point u can learn from him - go to karaok more often. Listen 2 all those songs available at the karaok area. N u can sing well. Shaheen's sung a song by Michael Jackson, which Simon Cowell remarked was a very difficult song to see, with all the varying tones, etc. Simon commented on Shaheen "That's how one song can change a life. This may be the start of sth. special for u, young man." Amanda commented that she's done the goosebump test on Shaheen, and she's got it with Paul Potts (first season's winner - I think), another guy who I dun know, and Shaheen himself. (simply speaking, he's probably going 2 win the competition) The judge commented that Shaheen's "just shown that Wales' got talent". Three positive remarks, three yeses, and he proceeded to the next round. Shows that "Practice makes perfect" for singing. However, contradictingly, I think that u really need to have the natural voice and musical sense to sing well (I'm commenting this from a piano gd 8 student's point of view.) If u dun have both, u won't know how to vary the musical tone of the song like Shaheen did. It'll be very hard to sing well. U'll most probably end up like William Hung, She Bangs, and get horribly off the tune.

Next, interestingly, Simon commented that his first song was not right for him. Think 'cause its not Shaheen's style of singing, n he's not singing it the rite way. Anyway, Shaheen looked a little lost, but kept his cool , remained undaunted, and sang the Michael Jackson song really well .That's another point to learn. One must remain cool and calm in such situations. It's also amazing that he had the song by heart, such that he could sing it right away unhesitantly. He probably sang quite often. Again, practice, practice, practice. Ur efforts will pay off.

Haha.

Cheers,
Zhu Cheng
