You can always count on 'Britain's Got Talent' to start a worldwide phenomenon' (SuBo, Jaheim)... and it doesn't look like it's going to be any different this year...
Yes, already Simon and co. are cooing about four-year old Michael Jackson impersonator; Kayim-Ali Jaffer.
But wait, yes that's what you heard, FOUR years old.
Four years old and he's being put onto a huge stage with a screaming audience. He's only just learnt to speak, let alone perform!
It is said that after his performance, the youngster ran off stage before the judges could tell him their verdict, while the crowd were giving him a standing ovation.
Poor little guy! Bet he was scared half to death!
Apparently, Kayim is a 'dead-cert' for the semi-finals, which means an even bigger audience and LIVE TV.
How can they expect a four-year-old to cope with live TV? We all saw what happened last year to 10-year-old Hollie Steel when she broke down on stage. Has Simon learnt nothing?!
Not only that, it's the rejection too. How do you tell a four-year-old that the public didn't like their performance? It would be heart-breaking!
Child charities are supposedly very worried about this and are calling on Simon Cowell to put an age-barrier on the contest, and I must say that I totally agree.
Kids are already losing their childhoods enough, they don't need to be exploited on TV as well, just to boost Mr Cowell's ratings.
I suggest they listen to these charities, and listen to them NOW.
