1) Pamela looks like Jodie Foster on her album cover. I'm thinking specifically of Inside Man, but any Jodie Foster performance from roughly 2006-2012 probably applies.
2) The beauty of music as the universal language of all people is that we all have access to it. The beauty of rapidly expanding modern technology is that anyone can participate in that universal language at a scale previously thought impossible. Anyone can (and should) sing, and now anyone can sing and record themselves doing it and put that on the internet for all people to hear. Jury is out on whether or not they "should" do that, unreliable narration notwithstanding.
3) It's impossible to do so, but it would be fascinating to hear this music without American ears, without exposure to American music and American music's movements through pop music phases and trends. With ears that could hear, there might be different angles to be found, different impulses other than recognition or befuddlement. "Yaralı Gönlüm" seems to be cover of "Surf Rider" by the Lively Ones, in which Pamela's vocals replace the lead guitar riff. There's probably a reason for it. "Aşk Sevgiden Beter" could be the background score for a fight scene in a nationality-specific remake of Charlie's Angels (who is the McG of Turkey?).
4) "Ölüme Hasret," now that's a tune.
5) Bu Iyi.
