[quote=Pur e Zaal;12767]Dear Nightwish hi, salam, dorood, (whichever suits your cultural taste, you failed to welcome me anyway)
Again I see your "personal taste" is overshadowing the best in you, is getting the better in you. You are one tajik here, disparaging another Tajik that is celebrated by thousands of people. You first publicly denounce him for his music which you "personally" don't like. The moment you make that dislike known in this forum, your are taking your negativity to this forum and deliberately spread it here. I am sure you agree with me that the purpose of this forum is to honor, remember, celebrate, and promote our culture and its effective men. Surprisingly yet, you ran against the mainstream Tajiks and just do the opposite. In my earlier post, I sincerely requested all of you to keep your "personal taste" private if it is against another Tajik, let alone a celebrity. You stubornly made it public and known once more. So much for your music taste that find's Valy "unattractive".
Yet again, you attack this celebrity. And this time for his moral standing. You disparage him by making the readers of this forum, who could be Tajiks and non-Tajiks, think that he is of some weak moral character. This time you wish (I hope not) to assassinate his character morally. In so doing, you happen to please, and contribute to, those that already hate everything Tajik, including yourself and this forum. I understand that Ahmad Zahir was a womanizer. The same might be said of Elvis. That's artists' completely private sphere which we should not allow ourselves to pry too much. People's magazine, or celebrity Journalists do the job perfectly well. I am sure you wouldn't mind being surrounded by admiring fans either
This thread didn't start to judge his character, morality, and attitude. Nor are we here to judge the calibre of his music. Here, as a Tajik community, we have gathered to identify and celeberate the best in us. And indeed, Valy is the best and most famous youn Tajik artist now. If you have any beef with him, or you feel ignored, or have the best potential in you that hasn't yet been properly acknowledged, then please forgive us for our shortcoming of not noticing it here. If not, then please live up to the spirit of the forum and voice WITH Tajiks, not AGAINST them.
When I said, I found him decent on TV, that's what matters. The public perception favors him. As a Tajik I felt proud to see him sitting there with dignity and displaying decency. Buddy, that's what matters. You on other hand, sit behind your computer with negativity and foam with hurtful comments. That's the difference. That distinguishes one who is successful from the one that is not. He is smart to behave "decently" on the public arena, and be noughty in his personal life which again is his "personal" life
Please do not get offended by my post because we don't know each other in person. We both are here to preserve and promote our culture. Let's be focused on that.
With regards,
Wsalam

Dorood dost e gerami,
I'v already explained that I can distinguish my personal taste and factes from each other, but unfotunately I explained it in Dutch for miss Manizheh. Well, I would also like to explain it in English: Valy can't sing. Even if he was a character from the holy Shahnama, I would say the same. And again I have to say that has nothing to do with my personal taste, I also don't like M. Jackson's music but do you think I could ever say that he can;t sing? NO. He can sing very well and his voice is also great. But his music is not my kind of music, so I just say, no
I don't like mr Jackson's music. But I can't apply the mentioned point on Valy. I'm realy sorry but I don't like censure. I always try not to be a politician or use politics. It's so dirty, very unpure. If i know that Valy can't sing, I will also say it.We shouldn't mix arts with our political issues. There are also enough Pashtun youth who listen to valy, so you don't have to worry about the amount of Valy-music-lovers. I personally never judge about an artist's ethnic background, personal life etc. You should judge an artist on his/her qualities and talent. But someone said that Valy is a decent guy, and I KNOW that he isn't a decent guy, so I will never admit that he is decent, even if he is a Tajik. It doesn't matter to me, reality has to rule. But why are you worrying about that? If he is not decent, so be it. You can support him to make more succes and become more famous using his talents.
I can disscuss this for hours long, but I don't think it makes any sense. Because you want me to lie and and want me to say he CAN sing. But I can't do that. I regret to say I can't do that, so deal with it. Like arya-zadeh said, it is called Freedom of Speach.
Ps: There are other topics for welcoming new members. I would have surely welcomed you if you introduced yourself in one of those topics. (: Anyways, you are very welcome.
