Afghan Star Page #4

I should be there with them.

But for now, I'm alone.

This is the dress I wore on stage.

when I performed my song

with a beautiful dance.

...and a very beautiful voice.

This is the dress of freedom.

We had a lot of hardships.

During the time of the Taliban,

we went to secret schools...

...every second was dangerous.

We thought that

if the Taliban caught us...

we would not be left alive.

So it's not new for me to be afraid.

I haven't done anything.

I only sang a song and moved a little.

Even that brought these problems.

If I were to sing about my experiences

or give political interviews...

I'd be gone within a week.

This is my path.

I will continue until the end.

The foreigners are telling us.

we must broadcast

under freedom of speech.

We have to continuously fight

against the enemies of Islam.

My message for those

that like Afghan Star is.

...each government

is based on rules of law

...and this government

has Islamic rules.

This country has been invaded

and we sacrificed much.

The rules must be according

to morality and sharia law.

If this immorality continues.

with men and women openly together...

...this will cause

the Islamic people to rise up.

...and wars would start again!

If it continues like that,

society will collapse.

The lives of our martyrs

would be wasted.

We just want Islamic broadcasts.

We don't care if it's Tolo or whatever.

The Islamic Council is laying this rule.

It is our duty to preach sharia law.

If they accept it, it's okay for us.

But if they do not act upon it,

at least we've done our duty.

They are a group of scholars

from the Islamic Council.

who have a strong opinion against us.

They say that a few

of the programs we have aired...

...and Afghan Star

was especially named...

...that these programs

are misleading the people.

...and are against sharia law.

"You are inviting people

to take part in it.

It corrupts their minds.

It is not Islamic!"

I don't think we are

doing anything wrong.

In Afghanistan

there is music in the past...

...music in the present

and music in the future.

Thank you so much for supporting me.

Her courage and confidence

is the most important thing.

I don't care about her voice

or her choice of songs.

Her courage and confidence

is most important.

Lema knows that the Pashtun people

will support her.

It's in their blood

and their nature.

Whenever they step

into a ring of fight, they win!

It's the same for her.

She's a Pashtun too.

Pashtun people don't care

if she's good or bad.

"She's Pashtun.

Let's support her!"

The whole universe is talking about me.

What position will I get?

When will I be out?

What song will I be singing?

The people tell me that

they don't want to watch the night.

...that Lema will be out.

You should know that our own

Taliban are now voting for me.

Believe it! There are Taliban

SMS-ing votes for me.

The Taliban related

to the Pashtun people.

I'm Pashtun,

so they are supporting me.

Hameed.

In the name of merciful God...

...and you people, the supporters,

the makers of our stars, hello.

Welcome the three remaining

Afghan Stars to the stage!

This is a proud place to be.

...that I've gotten this far.

I thank all Afghan people.

I'm very proud to have gotten here.

Sakhizada please stand forward.

Hameed Sakhizada...

...has made it this far...

...and will continue to perform.

So the person who goes out

in third place...

...on Afghan Star...

...is...

Lema Sahar.

For the poor Afghan people...

Afghan Star is better than politics.

All of the bad strategies in politics...

...bring misery for our people.

So for this reason, most people

like pop programs and music.

They like it.

I went to the top of the mountain

and I shouted.

Look at my beautiful woman walking.

The secret of my heart is coming.

When I saw her I remembered

to pray to the lion of men.

Look at my beautiful woman walking.

The secret of my heart is coming.

Lema. Go on, cry.

No, I won't.

If someone held a knife

to my throat, I wouldn't cry!

The spring has come

and I will sacrifice myself for you.

Look at my beautiful woman walking.

The secret of my heart is coming.

Her eyebrows are like a bow

Shooting a look that kills me.

Look at my beautiful woman walking.

The secret of my heart is coming.

I'm sure our promises oflove

you will keep.

Look at my beautiful woman walking.

The secret of my heart is coming.

Look at my beautiful woman walking.

The secret of my heart is coming.

Listen to the sounds

of my aching heart.

When she's far

it explodes with pain.

Listen to the sound

of my aching heart.

When she's far

it explodes with pain.

Look at my beautiful woman walking.

The secret of my heart is coming.

The Taliban spokesman has said.

...that foreign forces

are using mobile telephones.

...to track and attack

the Taliban forces.

The Taliban has given three days

to the telephone companies.

...to stop the network

in the Taliban strongholds at night.

Otherwise, they will attack

the telephone centers and masts.

There are six million people

in Afghanistan using mobile phones.

You know this will have

a negative effect on Afghan Star.

The Afghan Star voting system

works on SMS.

The telephone

is the heart of the program...

...and if it's taken...

...the program will die.

Right now we live in a city

with a government.

We are working

within government rules.

We want to revive our culture

under these rules.

As long as the government

is alive, I am alive.

Are the Taliban going to become

powerful and change it all?

They have no affect on our morale.

I'm not scared of the Taliban.

Don't talk about them.

They're not important.

Every regime that comes,

our lives change.

A new regime would come...

...and our lives would change again.

I've seen it in war, in peace.

I've seen its beauty

and its cruelty.

The first movie theater I went to

is right there in front of your eyes.

There was a hallway down there.

There was a fight between

two Mujahideen groups.

when this place was destroyed.

This street was a kind of front line

separating the two sides.

I was about 13 then.

This big red rocket came and

hit the cinema. It all burned down.

I could not believe that this city

and its beauty would be ruined.

Hi, Amir. How are you?

Setara has experienced

some kind of difficulty.

The house owner has told her

she can't stay there anymore.

They are saying she is going through

some kind of difficulty.

She called us and said

that she's got problems.

Please call her.

This is your captain.

Soon we will be landing in Herat.

We don't want to interfere.

She said, "I want to be a singer. "

So I told her she could do it

if she wanted to.

We had graffiti painted on our door.

...saying,

"Setara has gone to Afghan Star.

She has become bad.

She is a whore!"

Perhaps I should cover my face.

If Setara comes back to Herat...

...as you know,

it's not safe here in Herat.
