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?

I agree spock, people are getting their political views about Benazir get in the way of obviously what is a kid remembering her mother, no matter what the mother was or was not.

So? I am sure they have 'other' ways of self expression too.

Why some posts are missing from this thread?

Anyway, here's a review of her song,

Music review: Bakhtawar Bhutto, "I Would Take the Pain Away"

"My mother was murdered, I don't even comprehend," raps 18-year-old Bakhtawar Bhutto on the song I Would Take the Pain Away, and it's hard not to argue with the sentiment. Her mother, Benazir Bhutto, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, was assassinated December 27, 2007. A hero, frankly, a martyr, Bhutto represented a new look to Pakistani politics and her murder was a black spot worldwide on peace.
But can her daughter, a student at Edinburgh University in Scotland, rap? Well, not really. Her lyrics are so on the nose as to be polemic and the beat, which she apparently made herself, is a simple hand clap, piano loop and cymbal crash with a sped-up soul hook chorus that sounds like 2002 Kanye West. Her heart is absolutely in the right place, and we love that Pakistani television is airing the clip, but Bhutto would've been better off getting an all-star group to record a tribute single.
Bhutto speak-raps her lyrics in a heavily-accented 2/4 metre and the dripping sentimentality brings to mind Puff Daddy's odious Biggie Small's memorial I'll Be Missing You, which aped Every Breathe You Take by the Police. She sounds a little like a dry M.I.A. and the register of her voice rarely changes, except to hold an odd last note for un-needed emphasis.
"That cowardly bullet/stole your life to the fullest," Bhutto raps near the end of the record. And that's a horrible, true statement. But musically, the 18-year-old would be better off doing a guest verse than trying to carry a full song. She obviously is interested in a career in music. And the best songs come straight from the heart. But this makes Yes We Can by will.i.am sound like Radiohead. And that's very, very difficult to do.

I already said that she wants to be in the lime light may be by proving to be an able singer.
