This is so stunningly … I don’t even know, “bad” is not the right word and “saccharine” doesn’t quite capture it … that I can see banning Jo’rabek from performing in public on general principle.
By the way, how does one say “soul patch” in Uzbek?

I love that song. The video is whack though!
All’s jealousy. It’s saccharine for you, Nathan, coz you imagine herds of screaming teenage girls running after the guy. Yeah.
I see the video people in Uzbekistan didn’t quite get the distinction between a male and a female star. Boyz don’t change clothes after every line, people!
ooooh. shiny.
