Sheraz is one of Pakistanās most recognized and acclaimed singers enjoying massive success in the Middle East, India, UK, USA and in the Indian subcontinent. He enjoys name, fame and success among the Asian communities worldwide.
ps. Yeh kia hai!. :mudhosh:
ps2. Good Luck to him. wasay be after his first album he failed to produce some thing remarkable. Prolly he will work hard after this success.
you've got to be kidding me. he has produced some really excellent albums after khazana...2nd album [roop nagar] was a master piece...jaise chaho jeyo is not bad either. i guess u need ears that are not influenced by duur-ke-dhool-suhanay-bollywood ****-rona to appreciate *ghar-ki-murghi-dal-barabar-pakistani-music**.

they were good, but they could haven been better.
atleast tehy were not like i gonna have it in MP3, or I gonna burn it on the CD.
^ I like the guy but if he's going to sing a phata huwa song then he shouldn't expect die hard support. In fact most of his songs and hamd's are very good but his Eurovision entry wasn't.
Maybe he's the only person who thought Najam had a serious chance of winning. :D
well u tell me about this program since u r in UK, cuz on another forum someone wrote this

Well since I was a kid and I grown up with eurovision, and its just famous for being tacky, cheesy, camp, not street cred!
plus all the british acts really fail, when they try breaking into the music industry after their venture in eurovision. plus the people who go on it are usually desperately seeking fame! lol
i dont know its really not a good publicity stunt or opp!

It's a very biased musical show. There is so much tactical voting by the countries of former eastern bloc; they tend to vote for each other's entries. A well known TV personality Sir Terry Wogan who presented for the BBC for a number of years quit as he became sick of the biased nature of the Europeans during the contest. The entrants from Britain have been pretty poor in the last few years and once deservedly finished on nil points!
āunfortunateā is just a polite way of saying it was āunfortunateā for him, his fans and for pakistani music, not āunfortunateā for me!!..
it was a longshot for him to win the bulgarian national selection in a language that is not theirs, and to go on and do well in europe again with a language and song style that is not traditionally theirs, although it would have been a good way to promote pakistani music and the image of the country
anyway, here is his youtube link again with his performance
what other posts are saying about eurovision beeing cheezy and tacky might be true for the UK and some western european countries attitute towards the contest. However, in the eastern bloc they take it very seriously as an international platform. recent winners Russia, Serbia have used the contest as a platform to promoting their country on the world stage and eastern bloc countries send some of their biggest name stars (such as bosnia in 2006 and came 3rd, Greece in 2004 came 3rd)
There is also supposed to be an āAsiavision Song Contestā in which Pakistan, India, China, Japan, Korea etc will be competing
not sure when that is due to be broadcast or how the Pakistani representative will be selected? Maybe some music show on PTV coz they normally use the official state broadcaster in each countryā¦
kaisi khabar sunaayi maine haina..?!
