Posted August 6, 200718 yr JAMELIA performed a private concert for the president of Kazakhstan this weekend. Nursultan Nazarbayev — leader of the country that is home to SACHA BARON COHEN’s comic character Borat — asked for the singer to perform at his party. A source said: “Jamelia is huge in Kazakhstan and the president requested her for his party and she had a ball. And, of course, she did a few Borat impressions.” After a string of hits, Jamelia’s last LP, Walk With Me, flopped in the UK and she parted company with label Parlophone. But as Borat would say, her latest gig was a jagshe-smash.
August 8, 200718 yr Another piece: British pop star JAMELIA has made a good impression on Kazakhstan's president after she was asked to perform at his private party. Although her compatriot SACHA BARON COHEN infuriated government officials in the country with his bumbling fictional Kazakh ambassador BORAT SAGDIYEV, Jamelia is a big hit there, and was personally invited by President Nursultan Nazarbayev to play at the weekend (04-05Aug07). A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Jamelia is huge in Kazakhstan and the president requested her for his party and she had a ball. "And, of course, she did a few Borat impressions."
