Lily Allen slams TV talent show contestant

LILY ALLEN has hit out at Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle and said she is "so over-rated".

The No Fear star made the criticism on her Twitter page and said she thought 12-year-old Shaheen Jarfagholi, who sang a version of Michael Jackson's Who's Loving You, was much more talented.

She said: "I thought her timing was off on Britain's Got Talent on Sunday - no control, and I don't think she has an amazing voice.

"She can sing, but it's not about talent with her, is it? She seems like a lovely lady but, if the show is about talent, then that Shaheen kid should win."

Allen also hit out at judge Simon Cowell and accused him of "not being cool" after 10-year-old contestant Natalie Okri was reduced to tears on the ITV show.

She said it was "verging on child cruelty" after the little girl, dubbed Baby Beyonce, burst into tears on live TV and added: "My god daughter aged 4 was in a hysterical fit of tears. Not cool Cowell."
