As with every major cultural icon, there are always people who love and people who don't love so much.<br />The main purpose of the article was to highlight an unusual aspect of Turkish pop culture.

Bulent was engaged first in 1998 not 1988 and was divorced in 1999. Also I read in the comments about her voice, I agree sometimes it's not as good, it's almost like she strains, but other times it's there beautifully and pleas consider she is 59! all divas of the world struggle as they get older. Also she knows how to get the crowd excited in a way I've never seen anyone else come close, I think it's because she gives her all and she is so grateful to her fans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512716256533133364.post-82524748410579575952010-05-04T21:59:19.480+03:002010-05-04T21:59:19.480+03:00That's definitely yıpranmamış.

It's not just her voice that's gone-- her phrasing and everything else is also a bit campy and silly melodramatic compared to that older recording. It's almost like she's playing at being herself these days. I keep waiting for her face to melt under the lights, like in the end of the first Indiana Jones.<br /><br />I suppose Zeki might have gone the same way if he'd stayed with us longer. I heard that he'd killed his voice from over-use/over-zealous practice before he died. I heard Chopin did the same to his hands. Or maybe it was Schubert.<br /><br />I couldn't listen to the other one because my husband walked in and started blasting the TV news about the latest crisis-- I'll check it out tomorrow.Strangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933997864575809110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512716256533133364.post-54198320329084214902010-05-04T18:13:13.872+03:002010-05-04T18:13:13.872+03:00Perhaps this might be a 'yipranmamis' exam...Perhaps this might be a 'yipranmamis' example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXJ-UTjnP2c<br /><br />On the other hand, these guys (um, whatever) have the advantage of having peaked in their careers when TV was around. For example, check out Munir Nurettin, from 1964 (concert recording): http://alkislarlayasiyorum.com/icerik/15426/munir-nurettin-selcuk---kadikoy-konseri-1964Bulent Murtezaoglunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512716256533133364.post-53353773043480803402010-05-03T21:55:11.787+03:002010-05-03T21:55:11.787+03:00She had such a voice once. Now she and her voice a...She had such a voice once. Now she and her voice are pretty yıpranmış (I wish I knew a good English word for this-- "ruined" does not begin to cover it).<br /><br />What troubles me about about her (most, among the obvious) is her interpretation of femininity and womanhood. Then again, a lot of pop starts around here take that route, or one not unlike it. <br /><br />Now Zeki Müren, there's a real lady (not that I know much about his personal life). That voice sends shivers down my spine, in a good way.<br /><br />But, as you say, Bülent is entirely unexpected and fabulous. I can't imagine someone like her holding the public's attention at home for as long as she has. Whether that's because of her or the public I can't say. Probably a little bit of both.Strangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933997864575809110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512716256533133364.post-73581165232791007242010-05-03T21:20:32.739+03:002010-05-03T21:20:32.739+03:00@Doc

However while I was investigating her life for this post and watching some her performances I could start to understand why she is loved by the majority of Turks (despite some pretty outrageous get-ups and public behavior) Were you able to watch the clips? Yes, they are campy especially the first one but the lower one was genuinely inspiring. The lung capacity on that woman! She could never have developed such a following if she hadn't done what she does with such high standards. <br />Zeki Muren was also rather odd but he sang with a great deal sensitivity and real ability.Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686282358562565742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512716256533133364.post-47700819540367507302010-05-03T19:32:10.277+03:002010-05-03T19:32:10.277+03:00I need to be more careful of what I pick to read b...I need to be more careful of what I pick to read before I go to sleep!<br />Oh, I meant to tell you that whenever you change your font color to yellow (Not in this post) it does not show up in RSS well (I am using Mozilla Thunderbird).

They also seem to like to be shocked. I remember when I first saw .Bulent on TV whilst I was watching with my husband, and he immediately informed me that she was once a man...said in a kind of shocked, whispered voice, which I found quite amusing.Ayakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903896106779269050noreply@blogger.com
