The SPIRIT of "Britian's Got Talent"

Watched some of the American Idol preliminary shows. For you that haven't seen them, I find that they are highly produced, chopped up and you get something that feels a bit demeaning to some very sensitive people. Yes we want the sensational(?). Have posted some Britian's got talent previously and perhaps it's a biased view based on too small a sample BUT I've found there to be a more positive atmosphere. Even Simon appears to be happier on the other side of the proverbial pond.

Watch Shaheen if you've seen the others...

Shaheen stumbled on his first song start, Simon stopped the show and had him try another. What a difference a song choice can make! At 12 Shaheen showed amazing composure.
