Shaheen Jafargholi: I'm Just Proud of What I Did

"Britain's Got Talent" former contestant Shaheen Jafargholi talks to "The Insider" about what it was like taking the stage and performing at Michael Jackson's public memorial service Tuesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The performance, which marked the 12-year-old's first trip to America, was applauded by both Janet and Jermaine Jackson.

"These people are thanking me, you know, I should be thanking them for this wonderful opportunity they’ve given me…" Shaheen says of his performance of "Who's Loving You" on Tuesday. "I can't describe it."

"If it wasn't for Michael Jackson, I wouldn't be who I am today," he went on to say.
