I am in love with his(her) voice, it's so beautiful, and so is the music. I was wondering if there are any other fans out here, and if so what your favorite tracks are. So far I'm really liking:
BEDDUA
GECELER

BENI AGLATMAYA KIMIN HAKKI VAR (Can someone please tell me what this is in english?)

- Ben Zeki Müren
- Bir Gülü Sevdim

Hey guys,
I really like both of them Zeki Müren And Bülent Ersoy.
If you want you can listen online Zeki Müren on that link it only has 40 song..
http://www.muzik1.com
You can find him at the end of Yerli Sanatçı Listesi...And other singers also...
"Bu ne sevgi ah bu ne ızdırap" this is one of my favorites
Its meaning : "What a love is this ,what a affliction(pain) is this"
Here is my favorite singers:
Barış Manço
Erkan Oğur (Turkish Folk Music)
Kardeş Türküler (Turkish Folk Music) specially "Kara üzüm Habbesi" is the best.
Gökhan Kırdar (Yerine sevemem and Ãœstüme basıp geçme are his great songs)
MFÖ (All songs are great)
Sezen Aksu (of course she is our little Queen)
Tolga Çandar (Turkish Folk Music)specially Bodrum hakimi
Zerrin Özer ("Bir gülü sevdim","Kıyamam","Son Mektup")
I'm sure that you will like them...

this is my favorite song of Bülent Ersoy
Bu akşam bütün meyhanelerini dolaştım Istanbul' un
Seni aradım kadehlerdeki dudak izlerinde
Canım doya doya sarhoş olmak istiyordu
seni aradım kadehlerdeki dudak izlerinde
Tonight i visited all the pubs in Istanbul
i have searched for you in every lip prints on glasses
i would like to be drunk with pleasure and pleasure
i have searched for you in every lip prints on glasses

The fırst tıme I saw Bülent Ersoy I was ın shock because I lıstened to a MAN but when I went to youtube to watch 'hım' I saw a WOMAN and I couldnt belıeve my eyes! 'there must be a mıstake' I saıd to myself ...I was watchıng 'senin olmaya geldi' (CAN SOMEONE HELP ME TO GET THAT SONG PLEASE? I cannot fınd ıt!!) and readıng her bıography .
The thıng ıs = Years ago he traveled to England to undergo an operatıon to change hıs sex whıch was not avaılable ın Turkey. He returned as 'SHE' But wanted to keep her male name 'Bülent' and she was banned for many years and even trıed to commıt suıcıde!!!...but you know what?
When you lısten to her (because SHE ıs a woman after all) you forget and who cares whether she ıs a male or female??
WHAT A VOICE!!!! Impressıve the most ımpressıve I have heard ın my whole lıfe (not exaggeratıng!!) the same goes to Zeki Müren . He never spoke openly about hıs sexualıty but who cares??!!!! he ıs AMAZING! and paved the road for many artıst openly homosexual/transexual lıke Bülent Ersoy!
I couldnt say whıch one ıs better because they both are UNIQUE ın turkısh musıc. My knowledge on turkısh classıcal musıc ıs not the best but I can NOW understand WHY so many turks say new and currect turkısh musıc ıs a pıece of trash!! when you compare THIS to THEIR MUSIC you see a world of dıfference!!!
If you want to see what I am talkıng about lısten to
'Yüzünü göremem ' , 'Yıllar' 'Farketmez' etc...
THAT IS QUALITY MUSIC!!
I thınk I wıll be a lıfe long fan of them and there ıs only one word that can descrıbe what happens when I lısten to them=
BREATH TAKING!!!
Thank you everybody for your recommendatıons and for readıng thıs (a bıt long but they are so amazıng that ınspıre me to wrıte longer!) The only thıng I regret ıs that I could never see them on a live performance !
Dilara

Ama iğrenç oldu ya.. bu kadın.. Maybe she has a strong voice and all of turkey adores her now (I watched that show pretty regularly when there was nothing else on telly and she made rather right comments usually) but.. the way she looks now .. ne kadın ne erkek!!
When she was younger, she looked as natural as someone who did something unnatural can be  Actually rather nice! But all this make up and ridiculous clothes..
Im always saying shes lucky to be in turkey..no difference between he and she.. just O

Well she ıs a very strong person to me because as you saıd ıt requıres a lot of determınatıon to do such a thıng even knowıng that you could lose everythıng = fame , fans , career . I read she trıed to kıll herself once so ıt shows her desperatıon also... of course I laugh at your funny comment but I admıre her ımmense courage too! what I cannot belıeve ıs that the most masculıne and manly voıce I have EVER heard comes from a woman!!!
I am glad she ıs accepted and beloved ın Turkey just as she ıs now!

Quoting azade: (s)he is a very interesting individual. Whoever says that Turkey is a country stuck in the past should take one look at Bülent Ersoy and zip it. |
Well...as much as things have changed in some ways, I would seriously hesitate to hold up Turkey as a "modern nation" where sexual politics are concerned. The traditional ideas here about gender identity and roles are quite different than in the west; the case of a celebrity or two can hardly be considered indicative of the general atmosphere.
I would say Bülent Ersoy and Zeki Müren are/were two exceptional individuals in a country that is still quite conservative on matters like this. Yes, Zeki Müren went onstage in the 60s in a mini skirt, but people mostly were in extreme denial that he was gay. "Not our Zeki!" Bülent Ersoy went through very difficult times and was banned from singing for a period. I think there is also the fact that these people of extreme celebrity status are so removed from the average Turk's everyday life that they can get away with more. Many people might love Zeki Müren and Bülent hanım, but if their own son came out to them as gay (let alone announced he wanted to change genders) there would be hell to pay. Witness the fact that an attempt at a gay pride march in Bursa last summer turned into a near-lynching by the local businessmen. Turkey has a *long* way to go in that area.

Neverheless Bülent Ersoy is an accepted individual today and I doubt that she would be widely accepted in my country. The issue of homosexuality is also frowned upon in many countries, just look at the United States. I don't think that many people would have a positive response at first if their close family members or friends were to jump out of the closet. It's not just an issue in Turkey, it's an issue in most countries. Heck, I think my mother would disown me.

I think Bulent Ersoy is the kind of artist whose voice and style you LIKE or DISLIKE from the first moment you hear her... no middle points or possibility of changing your mind later , You wont say "I dont like her now but maybe later" no, either you like her or dislike her at once as I said
Do I like her? Of course I am listening to " Yuzunu goremem" now but I prefer Zeki Muren
Cheers!

Basically it is a transsexual, came to England to have it done as at the time it was not accepted in Turkey. He was a singer actor at the time and then became a bit reclusive, became depressed and tried to commit suicide If I remember rightly.
Then he went back (oh sorry) she went back to Turkey when the laws changed and carried on as a performer, but unfortunately a sex changes does nothing to improve the voice! She still has a mans voice. So there you have it in a nutshell, no doubt someone will point out if I have gone wrong!

Quoting illusion: "wouldn't taking hormones slighty change the voice?"
Yalnız bir az... |
Not at all really. Since Bülent hanım reached maturity as a man, all the lowering of the voice associated with that time has happened, and hormones won't undo it, any more than it will make a mature face back into a baby face. (When a woman takes male hormones, the voice will lower though...I watched a musician friend go through this many years ago and it was....nothing if not interesting!)
Besides I think she's quite content with her voice and doesn't try to "sound like a woman" when singing.
