Musharraf vs. Shahbaz: Who’s the Better Singer?

Pakistan now has two leading singing political figures, Pervez Musharraf and Shahbaz Sharif. I think they’re both good.

Below is Mush singing while president, in the same hall in which the infamous Abdullah Yousuf danced in a manner that made me want to poke my eyes out. Mush’s artistic debut was first aired on Dunya News. Later, the story was covered on a number of outlets, including BBC News and the pan-Arab al-Arabiyya.

Today, Shahbaz Sharif appeared on a children’s show and sang on two occassions (~16:35 and ~18:09). Unfortunately, the video isn’t available in an embeddable format, so here is the link.

On a related note, Nawaz Sharif, according to some rumors, used to sing to his girlfriend(s) on the phone.

And there are indications that Richard Holbrooke could get into the mix. He’ll be singing somethings from the Beach Boys or Frank Sinatra.

Bilawal is on call to bust out some of his favorites tunes from the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus.

    He’s so self-obsessed! Everyone’s laughing at him – not with him! Amazing.
