Move over Lady Gaga! After chucking in the towel a few years back after her initial, though fortunately brief, foray into the glittery world of Uzbek pop, here is the long-awaited video clip for the comeback pop song by none other than the Uzbek President's daughter, Googoosha (Gulnara Karimova). This is what happens when she gets bored from designing jewellery, having her own fashion line, doing 'charity work', getting PhDs, being the Uzbek ambassador to Spain as well as a UNESCO goodwill ambassador, appearing with celebrities at parties in Monte-Carlo, and bleeding her father's fiefdom dry by having her hands in every profitable company in Uzbekistan.
The YouTube comments are ... erm.. interesting, especially the ones by Uzbeks lauding the fantastic efforts by the first daughter. However, judging by the music of this 'dance floor stomper' from an 'exotic potpourri of sounds and a personal testimony to the power of deeply felt emotions', it appears that Gulnara's taste in dance music is firmly 1990s. Hey, if her father has been in power since the 90s, then she can stick with the stagnation and keep Uzbek dance music firmly to the time of M People and Everything But The Girl. But all is not at a loss. For all you connoisseurs of kitsch, best make a beeline to Gulnara's website realgoogoosha.com for some true fun.
When is she doing a duet with Emin? :-)
