Demi Moore has given her backing to another contestant on Britain's Got Talent.

Moore praise: Demi was blown away by the Britain's Got Talent performance of Shaheen Jafargholi, 12

The Hollywood actress has described 12-year-old Shaheen Jafargholi as "awesome" after he wowed the talent show judges with a Jackson 5 song.

After Shaheen performed Who's Loving You for the panel and 13.5m viewers, judge Simon Cowell said he was one of the best singers he had ever heard.

And Moore, 46, said on her Twitter page: "Wow, this kid is something else." The actress also came out in support of 48-yearold Susan Boyle last week.

Shaheen, a stage school pupil who lives with his mum Karen in Swansea, today revealed he was upset Cowell had not let him perform the Amy Winehouse hit Valerie.

The music mogul stopped the lad seconds into the song and said it was the wrong choice for him. But after Shaheen sang the Jackson 5 hit instead, he was told by Cowell: "This could be the start of something special."

Shaheen is now 7-2 second favourite after Susan Boyle to win the show. He said he thought her voice was amazing.

"I couldn't believe how impressive she was," he added. "I don't want to be a rival but if I won

I wouldn't be complaining. I know I can sing as well as anyone else in the competition."
