Memories of Her

by HHH on

Raelynn,

I grew up listening to this song by Googoosh around 1972. My mother watched her live at the age 6-7 dancing and singing on the table in 1950s at her shows with her father.  By the way you're sweet.

Welcome aboard...

by Midwesty on

Persian language gives one good handles to express his/her most inner emotions.

German and French are quiet in line with Persian when it comes to hard-core literature.

Welcome aboard!

I won't let a minor disagreement stand between us as an impediment to our potential mutual understanding in the future.

I, too, gladly welcome you to IC, where one can insult an entire race via a mispronounced W.

Every Day We Get A Little Bit Closer!

To comrade

I understand your point of view, but I just don't agree with parodying an entire race of people the way she did in that video, especially when millions of people, who may not be educated on Persian people and their accents, will watch the video and take it as fact. Also, this isn't her only 'insulting' video, she has another video where she goes on to parody more races of people, incorrectly might I add.

I'm sure you won't agree with me and that's completely okay, I just needed to state how I felt about it.

Welcome to Hotel California

Please read this poem by yours truly: //iranian.com/main/blog/multiple-personality-disorder/welcome-alene

Alene (bubbly) was a newcomer to iranian.com. She wrote a poem called “Comment Queen” introducing herself to the rest of us. I wrote this poem for her, welcoming her to our community, also giving her a heads up. I'm going to do the same for you, as I have done for so many before you. Please don't take us too seriously, and go easy on us.

By the way, I love your Farsi (or is it Persian?) accent and your love of Googoosh music.

I don't want to interrupt your singing , but why do you think an impression is insulting?

How is her talent different from that of , let say, a cartoonist?

To Faramarz

by Raelynn on

Thank you very much for your kind words. 

Googoosh is my idol. I love her with all my heart. I may not have grown up in Iran or even around Persian people, but Googoosh is also very dear to me. If it weren't for her I probably wouldn't be here today.

I also love 'Gharibe Ashenaa'! I know all the words to the part from 'Hamseda Medly', but I haven't learned the whole entire song itself yet. My favorite Googoosh song, and it's really hard to pick just one, is 'Marham'. I love that song so much.


Raelynn

To comrade

by Raelynn on

Thank you for comments.

In response to that video, I have seen it before and I have to say, even though I'm not Persian myself, that video is quite insulting because no Persian that I have ever met sounds like that at all, this includes Persians born in Iran and elsewhere.

My Dear Raelynn,

It is great that you love Googoosh and sing her songs.

She is a very special person to the people of my generation. Here is my favorite Googoosh song.

I know every word of this song ever since I was a little boy in Tehran!

Is it my name, or my looks which keeps a beautiful, talented girl
like you away from me? Or maybe you have already heard about my thick
file at the Homeland Security Department!

Just kidding sweetie. Hear the old man out:

a) Don't let them drag you into Persian, Farsi thing. And if you wanna tease them, remind them of Googoosh being in fact an Azeri!!

b) Keep your sexy accent. He will love it.

This for you, in case you wonder:

Every Day We Get A Little Bit Closer!

academic ?

by Red Wine on

Which academy ?!That is so funny ! Do you know who is Abbas Aryanpur-Kashani (He wrote The Combined New Persian-English and English-Persian Dictionary ,RIP)? how about his son Iraj khan ? i call tomorrow  to Iraj khan and i wanna know more about this !!!

by Sargord Pirouz on

Not bad, not bad at all.

And you and Mohammed are right. It is "Persian" in the English language (by academic convention), not "Farsi".

Remarkable pronunciation for one month's practice.

A better (or more developed) sound system and mic would even better enable the effort. Perhaps an effort made towards a suitable background for the next YouTube video, would also be a plus.

Best wishes with your singing.

Dear Mohammad Ala

by Red Wine on

You said : Iranian language in English is called Persian.  You know more than some Iranians. 

You mean they change farsi to persian or what ?!


Raelynn

To Mohammad Ala

by Raelynn on

Wow, thank you! I have changed it now. I had forgotten to change that since I learned about the Persian language.


Raelynn

To benross

by Raelynn on

Oh sorry. Thank you for your comments though, it's very nice of you.


Mohammad Ala

Good job

by Mohammad Ala on

Good job.

By the way, Iranian language in English is called Persian.  You know more than some Iranians. 


Raelynn

To Red Wine

by Raelynn on

I know that now. I made that video weeks ago when I was just starting to learn about the Persian language. In fact, thank you for reminding me, because I needed to change that in the title of my video.

Dear Raelynn

by benross on

That was an inside joke. It had nothing to do with you. Please ignore. You are indeed fabulous. I should have been more careful.


Red Wine

...

by Red Wine on

Not bad !

But the correct is Farsi..not 'persian' ! the language which iranian people talk is Farsi .

Thank you .

To Farnoosh

by Raelynn on

Thank you so much, you have no idea how much that means to me. I just want to try and make Googoosh proud when I sing her songs.


Raelynn

To benross

by Raelynn on

I'm sorry, I have just started to sing in Persian only about a month ago so I'm still learning.

 


Farnoosh

You're great Raelynn!

by Farnoosh on

You are absolutely beautiful and very charming.  You can sing, too, which a lot more than I can say about most of us Googoosh lovers out there!  Thank you for sharing your passion and your beauty with us.  You are quite rightfully an Iranian of the Day!


Raelynn

Wow!

by Raelynn on

Thank you so much! I seriously wasn't expecting this at all. I love Googoosh so much and could never truly do her or her songs justice, but I will continue to try and do my best.

If this does not prove that America never attacks Iran, what will?

Not good enough. She has an accent. Maybe U.S.A can get some assistance from Miss M. and Italian government.
