I am not Iranian and don’t speak a word of Farsi...but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of her show. Her beautiful voice, her striking appearance, her sheer energy and emotion, and her comic timing in delivering her off-hand comments between songs...were all in evidence Saturday night. These all “translated” despite the fact I don’t actually understand Farsi.
She totally knocked me out when she sang one of her songs in English!
Makes me think she would be wildly popular with English-speaking Americans if she were to do a primarily English language show. (However, these must be in addition to her primarily Farsi language shows...for I have never seen such appreciative fans.)
It was evident to me—watching her perform live for the first time—how truly International this star is.
Googoosh is from Iran...but she’s a gift to the world.
