The judges get a sheet with info on the contestants including the songs they have prepared. The contestants are asked to have more than one song in case the judges want to hear them sing something else. They have asked contestants before to sing another song. It is not all that unusual. It just happened to be blow away this time. And if Simon had heard about him, then more power to him that he asked him to sing the other song. Not exactly a fix.
@everynamewastakenomg How am I the ignorant one?...I'm still alive! She's the one who killed herself and you're calling me ignorant? She could have easily gone to rehab to seek the help that she desperately needed especially considering her monetary status, but I guess she just said "No, No, No!" so it's nobody else's fault that she's dead, but her own and that's the truth!
Think Simon is as fed up as the rest of us are with the song ,Valerie, it's shit, total, end of .... This lad did brilliant on a real song instead of a crap karaoke song.. well don'e shaheen.. ;)
@gorillawarfare786 i dont think it was fixed. when they come to audition they usually have a couple songs. if u watch x factor simon does this alot. stoppin ppl and askin them to sing another song.
I love the dramatic camerawork on the judges faces and the eruption of applause during the singing... wouldn't it be funny if the kid was like "Dammit, shut up already!" ?
I think, SIMON was aware the very first note that child had hit that this boy got a talent so, to spare him from not being noticed and by just spoiling the chance by singing a song not fitted to him, he stopped it as early as it was for him to choose the song he will feel comfortable singing and by that, boom! he nailed it! BRAVO... be thankful for the chance SIMON had given you. Though, should he finished the first song, he really have the skill.
brilliant move on simons part. the amy winehouse was good, but not memorable. and then on that first note of the mj song it was just like WOW. i like simon's little smug look though :p
Shaheen, previously had a part in a musical called 'Thriller' or something which toured around Europe. As he is so experienced in singing Michael Jackson songs it's obvious that the show new about it and set this up.
I'm not arsed though really.. made a good piece of TV.
@miCocute12 ye your clearly fucking thick seen as you bought it. He was performing michael jackson songs in a theatre before he auditioned to this and simon had heard about him. Notice his surprise when the lad said im singing amy winehouse. Simon was expecting him to sing a michael jackson song because he knew he was good at it...
@summie5656 no he wanted hm to sing a more masculine song not a feminine song so he could not give the wrong impression, i on't kno but that just my opinion
omg he must be really good even simon loves him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll disagree, and reiterate my original comments the night this was aired. This performance was a fix - dramatized for TV.
