Really enjoyed this video, but far too  beautiful to have won even if Iran were to make a nomination. The winners are always some rubbish, unartistic, untalented pop group.

PS - Rashel Jan-About eurovision contest- it was hypothetical nomination as clearly there are political and geographical reasons making it unrealistuic (although I hear even Azerbaijan made an entry).

Why would Iran enter the

Why would Iran enter the "Eurovision" song contest?
We're not in Europe! Although some contries who participate in it seem to think they are!

No names-- do not want to start anything.

Moshkin Ghalam's work is beautiful... simply enchanting!

I love this music and had never seen Moshkin ghalam's performance before. I missed an opportunity to see him live last year, but I'll make sure to go see him next time.

Thanks Khaleh! great choice for a contest entry, only if...

Shahrokh's mesmerizing work for a few years now, but unfortunately have not had the chance to catch him live yet. I love how he mixes various dance styles to create his own. He is a great artist. 

Thanks for sharing this clip!
