This week's show was truly special. It was a tribute to Farhad Darya, a true legend of Afghan music for over 20 years.

Contestants all had to perform Farhad Darya songs and were also assisted by Farhad Darya in their preparations during the week.

Farhad Darya also made some special performances of his own!

As we are progressing week by week, we have to say good bye to a contestant each week, albeit reluctantly.

This week, we honour another of our Stars who has made it this far and who has been judged to have the least amount of votes.

Who can this be?

This Thursday saw the elimination of another of our cherished Stars. It was time to announce the 9th ranked Afghan Star.

But before the announcement, the Stars all performed, in groups, before an excited audience and a very special guest.
