I can't really pick, they both have wonderful voices. I have heard Shaheen's voice on some of the MJ vids, and he is obviously a very talented performer as well as singer. I remember when I saw pics of him and his mom from the MJ thing, I wondered if that was his sister, now I know it's his mom, she is very beautiful and young looking. BTW, I watched America's Got Talent, and I think that the British version seems to have a higher level of talent in general.

There appears to be a story behind the voice. Exerpt from the UK Mirror: Britain's Got Talent star Greg Pritchard has told he feared his dreams of stardom had been left in tatters - thanks to the credit crunch.
The 24-year-old waiter, who wowed judges with his glass shattering voice, was left devastated after a benefactor pulled out of supporting him through acting school just three days before he was due to start.
Male soprano Greg was due to begin at the prestigious Italia Conti Academy in September last year after managing to secure a coveted place.
A family friend had offered to fund Greg's time at the theatre school but just 72 hours before he was due to start he was told they could no longer support him.
"It was devastating," said Greg, of Monmouthshire, Mid Wales.
"I had worked hard to get a place at the school but its just wasn't to be.
"It was just three days before I was due to begin I received the bombshell that they could no longer offer me the money.
"I was devastated but I was determined not to let it stop me from achieving my dreams."
Falsetto Greg, one of only a handful of male sopranos in the world, is due back at work on Tuesday. Bosses at the Celtic Manor hotel in Newport, Gwent have asked him to perform a show for them gracing the same stage Katherine Jenkins once performed on. CLICK HERE FOR FULL ARTICLE Now I sort of want him to win so he may be able to actually attend this prestigious school that he was supposed to go to.

I do hope he gets to the last few contestants at the least. Maybe the publicity will bring forth other sponsors and maybe the school can give a scholarship, etc. What's with everyone and their MiG style (the anime`look, lol) hair?

Hahaha, I love them! BTW, how about the latest buzz. Susan Boyle dropping the f-bomb, as if just because she is an older lady from a small town she doesn't swear? She isnt used to all the in-your-face hype, so she dropped it on them, so friggin' what! You should hear us when we chit-chat at work, lol. And I was following Shaheen on Twitter, but right after the Boyle Bomb story, his page was gone. He is such a sweet kid, and so talented, I know he has a good chance of winning but he kept saying that he knew Susan would win. Is Greg Pritchard still in the running?

Bwaaaaaaaah!!! You won't believe this, but I have this album!!!! Barcelona by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe! And you wont believe THIS part...he sounds very much like Montserrat!!!! That was extremely hard to do, and he did pretty good! Except it was a def over the top! The cape was hilarious. Not so many people have heard that song, I'm impressed that Piers knew all about it. If you ever heard it, then you would see how close he came to pulling it off, he was a bit screwy in the middle though. I can see why he wouldn't get the votes, it is very odd to see a two person song done by one person.

Instead of putting Greg through after this performance the judges put a little girl through who stopped singing halfway through her performance because she messed up. After a hug from her mum and begging the judges to let her start again, she performed much better the second time. So, should Greg have asked for a do over when he got flustered from the "X" from Simon? At least what he did was creative and strange and interesting. You could tell it was difficult. I would like to hear more of his tenor. And the fact that he was singing both parts made it even more impressive to me. I sure wish he had hit the note before the brilliant run he did at the end though. He's definitely bizarre, but strangely alluring too.

Toni, the audience votes put a kid who danced through and then it was up to the judges whether or not to put Greg through. He was right up there with the votes.

If the embedding is disabled, here is the URL...and I can't let it go without a backstory, so, Freddie loved Opera and revered M. Caballe, so he actually wrote this for her. She heard of his admiration and they met and thought he was awesome and they decided to do the album together. This song was picked as the song for the Barcelona Olympics, but unfortunately it was dropped because Freddie died too soon.
