I can’t bear it any more.“Maybe hundreds like me have had their dreams killed because of these religious narrow-minded people.”But her fellow talent show wannabe Tahir Shaqi says of Setara: “She has a nice voice but her actions on stage aren’t favoured by the Afghan people.”Setara did a very bad thing. In the top 6, there were no teams and a new judge Wahid Kacemey came into play. Ramishgar returned later on. But in Marking's documentary, you can hear a gasp of horror when Setara starts to dance. Therefore this season marked the first time that an eighteen-year-old woman, Zahra Elham, won the competition. Second place went to Haroon Andeshwar, and the runner up was Jamshid Sakhi. In this season, Wasim Anwari, Firuz Fazel and Zahra Elham made it to top three. The first woman to win the Afghan version of American Idol says she will fight the Taliban with her music, embracing a victory rich in symbolism as her country faces an uncertain future. The previous winner, Sajid Janaty, replaced Ahmad Popal as the host of Ba Setara Ha. Second place went to Elyas Issar from the most recent season of Afghan Star (Season 10). She was inspired to compete after watching YouTube videos of idols such as Aryana Sayeed, an Afghan pop singer and social media star often likened to Kim Kardashian – a characterisation that in conservative Afghanistan is a bold, deeply political one.When asked if she, like Sayeed, is now a role model for Afghanistan’s young women, Elham’s response underscored the importance of her new platform in a country where women are largely absent from public spaces.“Yes, my voice is important for the women of Afghanistan,” she replied bluntly.“Other girls will get courage and sing, like I have been following Aryana Sayeed … when I saw a girl like Aryana Sayeed I thought to myself, ‘If she can, so can I. We thought that if the Taliban caught us we would not be left alive. The season was won by Omid Altaf. During the Top 160, Shadkam arrived as the new guest judge of the show.

SETARA HUSSAINZADA is a shining beacon of hope for the peace-starved young people of Afghanistan. The judges from Season 11 returned to the show. With wonderful touches like watching a little Afghan girl at home making her Caucasian Barbie doll sing Afghan pop music and wear a burka, Afghan Star is an intimate peek into the lives of people who haven't been allowed to sing or watch TV under Taliban rule for approximately 20 years, as they risk their lives to create their own version of American Idol.
