may be they should adopt Sarah Palin, i'm sure mr zardari will have no objections.

Come on guys, lets not resort to such crude humor please, its a daughter's reflection for her beloved mother. Motherhood is pure, despite what some of us might think of Benazir; that is off-topic.

i think someone just wants to be in the lime light.

I have nothing aginst her rapping for her mother but why was it run on state TV over and over again? Its not even in urdu so masses in pak cant even understand it!

By the way, Just wondering if the 3 of them can speak urdu full stop!?

The song by Bakhtawar Bhutto, 18, comes a year after the assassination and is entitled "I would take the pain away".

Their son, Bilawal, 20, studies at Oxford University in the UK and another daughter, Aseefa, 14, also studies abroad.

dont know rap is not really part of pakistan's lexicon...........

a qawalli, poem, a ghazal, or a sonnet thats more in tune with pakistan

but there is nothing wrong with it

Spock · Jan 6th, 2009, 02:23 PM

^ Urdu isnt really Bakhtawar's lexicon.

saieen · Jan 6th, 2009, 02:35 PM

rich n famous gets it all....money...power...authority...and after death...fame...n sympathy...

as for her being a mother...well there are many who lost their whole families during her rule of power and corruption...anybody really gives a damn about them? don't think so...what make bhutto's daughter or bhutto's death so special? she had it coming...sooner or later...and to come to pak and put her life on line for power was her own decision. most probably no one was more informed about security in pak than her...so she took the risk and it didn't paid off. end of story.

I agree...you can see on Urdu papers headlines "Bakhtawar ki Bakh Bakh".
The rap is okay but I couldn't hear it very well.

OK!
For starters always stay focused on the thread openner's remarks
Do not say or enfuse some thing that can escalate into 'messy matter'

<EDIT>

You r welcome !

Straight_up · Jan 6th, 2009, 04:08 PM

I find this quite interesting. A rap song to commemorate for her mother's assassination. I wonder what people living in Pakistan think about a song written for Benazir that they cannot even comprehend.

wondergurl · Jan 6th, 2009, 04:09 PM

heres the youtube link, slightly better audio. and for all you cynics out there, she is just an 18 yr old kid using music to give her grief an outlet.

who cares if they can speak urdu or not?

its a daughter grieving for a parent who died so harshly.

People need to respect that

X2 · Jan 6th, 2009, 07:45 PM

okay so this is in all views dunno to discuss it from a politics angle, family angle, music angle..

family angle..very touching
music angle..weak

True, I feel disgusted after reading some of the comments people posted here.

Before we call this 'bak bak' etc, just consider this, its just a child remembering her mother in her own way; who she lost before she would have expected. Don't you people have feelings?

That was about the lexicon.
