The 2005 winner of Megastar sees politics that shares people everywhere in public conversations.
Ferenc Molnár Faramel talked about his career in the Forbes Deal and how he sees public life and the role of celebrities today. He recalled that as a child, he had two goals: to get to know himself and stay honest. The conversation was viewed by Blikk.
As a winner of Megastar in 2005, he reached the forefront of domestic light music from the Roma settlement in Törökszentmiklós. He said he was not chasing dreams to work in McDonald’s, but to count on his word.
“I also dreamed that I would have power, it will be important what I say, and change the world. You feed and raise every child who has no parents,” the singer said. He added that he was no longer the same man as he was in his childhood: he considers himself idealist, but there is an objective and even pessimistic side, along with an eternal dreamer, more romantic.
He also talked about being a simple pop singer today. He sees a lot of things beyond mystification and the humility disappeared.
“Most people believe themselves too important … Celebs, journalists, politicians, leaders, everyone overgrows themselves a little. The humility has disappeared from the people, too,” he said. According to him, it is not the humility of celebrities that is the key, but for those “who operate the machine”.
“Everyone believes they are essential, does not bear the criticism, and takes everything a personal attack from those who have a ‘face’ not to think like them. The whole world has become terrible.”
As for social issues, he said: “It is not pop singers to talk about social issues, but to those who operate the machine.” He added that as a “insignificant” pop singer, he wanted people to just be interested in whether they liked their new song.
According to him, politics is involved in every topic today, so it is difficult to talk about public life without sharing. Also rejects the concept of elite:
“Today’s elite is not a real elite, but a self -evasion of newcomers. It used to be tradition, responsibility and elegance and performance behind the elite.”
At the end of the conversation, he was about forgiveness. “Without forgiveness there is no step forward. Whoever has a soul cannot be carefree. You could even make very serious things to anyone.”
