Afghan Star Page #4

It looks like this.

We just have this tiny hole to see through.

My friends tell me,

"You're Pashtun. You're crazy to do this.

You're leaving us for democracy. "

Because of poverty,

I've learned to struggle.

Some people need to struggle

for a good life.

Because of poverty,

I have gotten this far.

I've never practiced music before...

...but now I'm studying

with a popular teacher.

He's asking for a lot of money.

He's scared and has to travel

secretly to my house.

I'm worried about my own safety too.

And because I'm doing this,

my family is also in danger.

We hide the song books

and other things at night.

If the Taliban come in the night...

we have a special place to hide

the computer and everything.

They come at night

to search the houses.

If they find something,

they kill you.

When I become really sad,

I ask Lema to sing for me.

Sorrow comes to me when I remember

my 15-year-old son is dead.

I say, "Come on, play music, my girl!"

And then my sorrow disappears.

Who is your Afghan Star?

Your walk is proud.

When you walk

You take my heart.

You take my heart.

The boy from Logar

walks like a peacock.

May God be merciful

so that people vote for me.

There are no votes coming in for me.

What type of people

won't send SMS?

A rich guy from Kandahar

bought 10,000 SI M cards for Lema.

So he can do a campaign to SMS for her.

There is another guy who is going

to campaign for Hameed Sakhizada.

who is going to buy more than 10,000.

He's ready to sell his car

for $6,000 right now

...if someone is ready to buy it

and to buy SI M cards.

And vote for Hameed.

No, it's not gossip.

There is a guy investigating it

and that's why he is selling his car.

He is damn serious.

That's how it happens.

It is fair.

It means people love him.

That is why he is ready to sell his car...

...and spending that huge money

to bring Hameed Sakhizada top.

It means it's love.

He has no relation with him.

He's not his cousin,

or brother, or friend even.

But he's ready to sell his car for him.

It's a little bit mad

and sounds crazy...

...but it is true.

That's campaign.

We don't want to say

that the other stars don't have talent...

...but we love the talent

of Hameed Sakhizada.

We have a few cars

that we've lent to his campaign.

They will drive to all the cities

and hand out his posters.

Sakhizada is from

the Hazara ethnic group.

In our cruel history, the Hazara people.

were not allowed to shine.

But now he has a lot of friends.

...from lots of provinces.

It is the wish of Afghanistan...

...but especially the Hazara...

...that all the tribes in Afghanistan

can be united.

That we should live

together like brothers.
