Ay Yola fans slam Homay cover performance on Belarus TV show
Fans of the Bashkir group Ay Yola were not thrilled with how their hit song Homay was covered on the musical TV show «Factor.by» in Belarus. Recall that singer Ibrahim Karasov from Novy Urengoy performed his version there and won. However, not everyone liked his performance.
Recall that Ay Yola«s songs reference the Bashkir epic. The group Ay Yola based their entire album on it. The hit was Homay. However, Ibrahim Karasov changed the arrangement.
«He lost all the essence, all the connection with the epic. Like some black magician who curses everyone. The uniqueness, originality, pride have disappeared from the song, one could say,» thinks a visitor to our portal.
«I didn»t hear any singing at all,« wrote another.
«Something not great,» wrote a guest of UFA1.RU.
«Both the music and he can»t sing in Bashkir, he ruined the words and squeals, he decided to hype at the expense of the Bashkir group,« another is sure.
«It differs from the original clearly not for the better. There is no harmony, clear rhythm. Everything is blurred,» noted a reader.
«The original is always more valuable than the copy,» wrote a fan of Ay Yola.
However, some among our readers quite liked it.
«Ibrahim Karasov is a talent!» declared one of them.
«Bravo, Ibrahim! A worthy victory!» congratulated the second.
«Well done, brilliant, I wish you luck, beautifully performed the song,» thinks a guest of the portal.
Ibrahim Karasov is from Karachay-Cherkessia, but lives in Novy Urengoy.
