Ahmed Ezz "I'm Not The Father" Zeina No Show For Court--No End In Sight For The Scandel

$

I am now beginning to have my doubts about the Ahmed Ezz and Zeina tale. Zeina continues to claim Egyptian actor Ahmed Ezz is the father of her twin boys--she gave birth to them in the California here in the states last October.

Ahmed Ezz did not speak on this record for over a month, and neither did Zeina, but leaks from the media and some stories came out with some alleged details. Ahmed Ezz came on national TV in Egypt and spoke for a total of two minutes about those allegations, "I am innocent, and my manhood stops me from talking about people's affairs and morals." That was it. "I wasn't going to address this topic, but when this was blown out of proportion I had to clear my name"

We know that he countersued Zeina who was asking for a paternity test, and when it came to the date for both of them to show up on court, Zeina failed to show up on that date--she said her lawyer is abroad at the moment and he could not be present.

This is becoming a bizarre episode, I do not understand why would Zeina lie about this? I believe what she has to say, but I am clueless on Ahmed Ezz, I will be surprised if he was not the father. He may be doing this to protect his name and his career.

Meanwhile, Ahmed Ezz continues to film his big TV drama "Excellence"

Saber El Rebao Has His "Period" Emotional Song #Rotana

$

The pride of Tunisia, and the most famous living pop star to come from that land is Saber El Rebai and he is sitting as a judge on The Voice--in my humble opinion he is the least qualified among the panel of four judges. But he is still a hit with many music listeners, the older ladies perhaps. He is the emotional voice who seems to have an extra heart that makes him super sensitive.

I have to admit, I like Saber and have enjoyed his pop and loud songs, but others have enjoyed his darker emotional tracks about breakups. He has a new song out for it and I think it hits the target...it allows Saber to show that he was a fool in love and how he was wronged.

Since he is with Rotana, they are working overtime to get him to be the star of the East, as in the Gulf where the money is. My pickle with him his he has yet to show he has a strong voice... I love the line when he calls out his past loved, "you are exhibit A when it comes to cheating and betrayal" Is it possible that you may have something to do with it? And By the way I like what you have done with your hair

Kathem Al Saher New Single Feels Flat اغنية كاظم الساهر - استفزيني 2014

Singles seem to be the way to go in 2014, at least for Iraqi musician Kathem Al Saher, this makes his third single in 2014, and it's beginning to feel something in the air. The latest is a poem from him, and it sounds like him, he feels it and make it real with his voice and emotions, I am not partial to this song, it feels good yet redundant.

This time he is telling him to increase the dose of pain, she is the only female that counts. The music sounds tired and Kathem seems to be uninspired here. Provoke me is the title of the new single, and it actually worked on me, it made me wanted to listen to it.

The thing is that this song has been recorded by the artist to flatter some wealthy poet who got to him, none of the names who have worked on this song ring any bell, yet Kathem released their song with his voice. The peot who wrote is Saudi Abdel Lattif Al Sheikh

Nobody Does Live Concerts Like Amr Diab Does--But In #Kuwait He Was Lame

for the king of pop, the Gulf saves no expenses especially if it was a state-sponsored event. Amr Diab had a concert in the Kuwait mighty "Hala Feb" Music Festival. Amr diab got every single of his band on stage, and it seems to have been a big ole stage with lots of lights, laser and affects. Still all that dazzle takes little from Amr Diah whose household name is second to none. I have no idea if he was singing live at that concert....his libs do not exactly sync.

This is one of his most beloved hits, and it felt flat, even the musicians seem tried from acting as if they are playing live. I would say the video is the problem, but one look at the band and you will know no one of them was playing anything and in fact we are hearing a pre-recorded track and not a live treat from the champ of Arab pop and world sensation Amr Diab.

He keeps jumping and be all over the stage, he interacts with his audience, talks to them not at them. Engages the band, improvises and gives a good mix from the new and old. He gives a full set, and seems to be want to be there.

This Omani Song Sounds Like Indian Hits--Salah Al Zadjali

Salah Al Zadjali just released a new song that will make you think you are taking a walk down a Bombay market, the Indian music is distinct and since they are very close to the Gulf, and many of them work there, their music is popular. However this Omani musician likes fusion and this is what his new song shall live.

This is actually an Omani folklore that has been given a technology treatment by the artist. The thing about Salah Al Zadjali is that he has yet to sing in any Arab dialect than his own, he is proud this way. I like how cool he is yet how local he strives to be even in all his outfits and headgear. Oman has a captivating shores, nature and climate, so it makes sense to be a land with little drama where everyone seems to be enjoying it.

Let's Get Weird With Ali Bin Mohammed

Ali Bin Mohammed is a big deal in the Gulf region, and he is a busy guy, but I kind of found it interesting to hear his latest track. His voice is pretty good, he has a sweet voice that compared to that of Aseel Abu Baker, so this is not the issue. The way the song started is what caught my attention. I have no idea how to classify this song.

It's traditional yet not so much, the Gulf may be confused as well. He is Yemeni, but the UAE just made him one of their own. In the late nineties, he had a hit song that even I recall, here it's. He is classically trained and he composed many songs, I like to see him live in a Jalasat like in a more intimate setting. He does the Hadramaut style like few can. He is also well-versed on the various Indian styles, he seems to incorporate in his work.

The man of Egyptian blues Hany Shaker, the guy all guys make fun of but secretly listen to and learn from has a new single. This is a landmark song by a man who claims iconic stature among his peers. This is a single from an All Gulf dialect album which plan to release later this year. The date the track released is also the birthday for his two grandchildren.

The title or the lead son of the album is "Aghla Bashar", the most precious person. For Hany Shaker that was his late daughter who struggled with cancer before passing away in 2011.

The album will be with Rotana who has got Hany Shaker to work on it for he past seven months. It will have half a dozen tracks--8, they are all about love and distance, they are simplified poems. Now, take a minute and enjoy the new single. This is meant for the Gulf folks and those who like heavy styles. Shaker has another thing in common with the government of the Gulf, both of them back the army's coup and assault on democracy.

All You Need To Know About The Ahmed Ezz And Zeina Scandal!

$

This one scandal that won't go away. Egyptian media is drooling over the details of this story about the alleged marriage of actress Zeina to her pal actor and pretty boy Ahmed Azz. Now, we learn the two did not have a marriage contract and simply had sex which led to a twin of boys delivered in the United States on October 7th.

Egyptian laws are funny, in order for one to request a DNA test, there has to be a written marriage contract, it does not have to be registered with a court, just something in writing with witnesses.

Here's what we think we know right now, Egyptian investigations by the department of Justice found out from Zeina that her and Ahmed Ezz did not have an official marriage. But rather a verbal promise from Ezz to marry Zeina and according to her a number of friends and family members have witnessed that verbal promise--whatever that is. Ezz was the one who approached Zeina--she says and since she trusted his public personal, she agreed. This has been reported in the Egyptian El Wafad Newspaper.

They have mutually agreed not to make the news of their marriage public, however Zeina learned of her pregnancy to which Ezz has asked her to "make it go away" This has been reported in Akhbarak magazine. She refused to terminate the pregnancy and decided to head for the States to be safe and to give birth to her twins away from the spotlight.

While in California, she tried to reach out to Ezz who declined to answer her calls. She tried sending messaged hoping to get him to change his mind but we was unresponsive. Then she told a mutual friend that if Ezz won't responded, she will file a claim against him. Two days later, he calls and makes threats that he won't admit that he is the father had she made that public--if true, seriously what an asshole. Then they met in a private villa in 6 October City through a common friend of theirs to reach a amicable resolution. According to Zeina, he was upset for her making the story public and bringing in the media--I think he did that not her. It gets better, according to the investigation, Ezz offered her money in exchange for changing the story and withdrawing the lawsuit--again a jackass. Zeina maintained to have rejected his offer and insisted on the DNA test, "honor is a precious thing for me"

On his part, Ezz is not talking in public, but he has accused the mother of his children of laying, forging official documentation and defamation. Sounds like an awkward thanksgiving dinner for the family.

This is is the biggest and smartest self-promoter, marketer in the pop scene, just look how his fans flock the stage to be close to him. He seems gracious and this was a big deal for him in the Valentine concert. What some may not realize is that a lot of ladies post next to him on stage knowing his is recently married.

He did a melody of his most popular songs, some are recent, some are original others not so much. The setup seemed a little chaotic and all over the place but nevertheless this was a sold-out venue.

Ramy spoke to the press after his concert and he was in good spirit, maybe a little bit drunk or on drugs. This was his concert in Lebanon but before then he was in Jordan for another concert. His new album is coming in about two months with ten tracks. He does not speak much on details, but he is a clever spokesperson.

The movie where this song played was made in 1984, the same era where American and the world met Rocky, the iconic Philadelphia boxer. Egypt had its own boxer movie and it was with the beloved Egyptian actor the late Ahmed Zaki. The song is form the movie "The Black Tiger" or "النمر الاسود" The song urges one to move forward.

Needless to say, it's one hell of an upbeat song with classy actors and convincing plot. This was one awesome movie, and this song lives in the memory of Arabs more than 30 years after the making of its film.  The song is about going big, and not letting life known one's soul.

So now, you know Egyptian pop culture gave us an original Arab boxer story that made so many people love the sport and fall in love with this accomplished actor.

The multi-talented performer Lebanese pop songstress Sabine was a big hit in her valentine concert downtown Beirut, she sounded polished and looking ready for prime time.

Sabine was born on the 2nd of October, is a Lebanese artist who entered the world of music at the age of 17 years with the "Rahabna" (Lebanese Musicians known worldwide whose family name is Rahbani) with two songs: "Bâathli email" and "Bessal Haly".

Now she has been perfecting her dance craft for a really long time to compliment her credentials, Sabine , Ramy Ayach and Naji Osta concert at Al Finik Ballroom. It looks like this was a fun concert as the three lead entertainers went out to make it extra special. I know I like Sabine's white coat. She event opted for a Basic Instinct chair move...

She had the help of a guy who worked with J Lo and Brittney Spears. She is about to release her debut album even though she has been singing for about three years. Egyptian and Lebanese songs are the focus but also two songs for the Gulf. She seems to have all the right names for artists who have given her lyrics and music.

for a runner up on Arab Idol, Ahmed Gamal, did little after walking out on that show, while the others toured the States in a sold out tour that took them to more than 20 venues in Canada and in the States. Ahmed Gamal did little.

And noe he is about to change that with the release of a new single, that brings the best in him. This guy is a musician before he was a singer and before he was n idol. He is getting the help of some mkodel in short shorts that will sell the music video in Egypt. Ahmed has a trillion dollar smile and a grin. He enjoys a full set of hair and a limitless charm.

He is certainly the romantic package, I like Mr. Gamal and I know his fans and appreciators have missed him. This is almost a year ago when he took part of the Arab Idol and made name for himself. Now he is that all-Egyptian guy who is about to fall in love on camera.

His new song is pretty awesome and he is blessed with that choice. Lyrics are those of Mohamed Refai, a follow Egyptian who appreciates Ahmed for who he is. Enjoy this mellow and wonderful love song.

Lebanese Artist Mayssa Karaa Captures A ""White Rabbit"

Karaa, 24 and recent graduate of Berklee College of music was chosen late last year to sing this new rendition Arabic adaptation of the iconic song by Jefferson Airplane "White Rabbit". The song was written and produced in Arabic by renowned composers and music producers Dawn Elder, Mark Batson, Hanin Omar under the direction of American Hustle's music supervisor Susan Jacobs. This is the first time Arabic lyrics are highlighted in such a manor in a major Hollywood film. This is a testament to David O' Russell's creative intellect. Mayssa Karaa's vocal performance in Arabic not only surprises audiences but her powerful and haunting vocals have been hailed by critics internationally as one of the movie's most dynamic songs. Her voice conveys the intensity of a pivotal scene featuring Robert De Niro, Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jenifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. Karaa's voice not only stays true to Slick's iconic performance, but finds its own unique color and powerful tone making the scene memorable. "This is who I am," says Mayssa, "not Middle Eastern all the way, not rock all the way. I am creating my own style."

Born in 1989, near the close of a 15-year conflict in Lebanon, Mayssa began singing at very early age in Beirut with her local school choir, and at the age of 7 singled out by the school's music director as one of the most talented out of hundreds. Recognizing her artistic talent, her parents encouraged her to pursue a musical education and enrolled her into the Conservatory of Beirut alongside her regular studies. Soon after, Mayssa was performing at a variety of events for non-profit charities including UNESCO.
 
Mayssa's manager, and co-author of the Arabic Adaptation of "White Rabbit" Dawn Elder says, "Mayssa has the capability to cross over like no other artist before her. The unique colors, perfect intonation, range and grittiness in her voice would be enough alone to make her a stand out star, but it is her versatility in both English, Arabic, not to mention Italian, French and Persian that makes her a one of a kind. This is rather unprecedented especially between Arabic, and English. Her passion for rock music and desire to bring an organic fusion with Middle Eastern music to her songs is both refreshing and exciting.". I knew she was the perfect voice for this song, and collaboration. Mayssa Karaa has gone on to perform the song at numerous premieres for American Hustle from New York to Dubai, stunning audiences with her amazing voice and charisma. O' Russell, Cooper, Adams, and audiences alike are thrilled with this rendition and what it brings to the movie.

Amid all these projects, Mayssa is beginning work on her own debut CD, a groundbreaking combination of rock, pop, and Arabic music that will bring together all her diverse talents and experiences. “This is who I am,” says Mayssa, “not Middle Eastern all the way, not rock all the way. I am creating my own style.” And the world of international popular music may never be the same.

Beach in the chilling winter is what Egyptian pop star Mohamed Hamaki is all about. To celebrate his 10th year in the music biz, he brought dozens of models and a new look. He really turned up the heat for this anniversary....and he is looking rather fresh and clean.

This is a really well-made music video, and it feels exciting, the song was pretty good, but thanks to the music video it now feels animated--thanks to that expensive haircut and the wayfarer shades. As for the music it's appealing to even those who can care less for Arabic music. Filmed in the UAE allowed more creativity and the supply of limitless ladies that are willing to star in music video is never-ending.

With this music video Hamaki--now a married man cements his status as a leading pop star in Arabic pop. In Egypt there's number one Amr Diab, and everyone seems to be number two. Hamaki is giving the king of pop a good run for his money. In fairness, Hamaki has always been good, this time he is willing to go the extra mile and take his career into a new territory.

Checkout this very ear-pleasing music made on the spot, no computers or what's not. Just the good old music instruments (lute anyone?) a talented person who is there to sing for hours, surrounded by those who appreciate the music and those who want to have a good time. See Morccan Donia Batma--from the Arab Idol success be the live of the part.

Rouwaida Attieh is a rogue artist, she is really unlike any playbook. I do not get her career plan, her press and I do not get whatever antics she has been up to lately. But I am sure on one thing, she has the most refined, most capable voice among her peers in Syria or outside. She is the Samira Tawfik of her time, she is the Najwa Karam of Syria. And for me, she is the jewel of talent scouting shows alumni. She left many people breathless a decade ago with her near perfect tone and pitch--she ended up being a runner up.

Now, she has been sharing, small and short clips of her doing acoustic song, her vocals do not miss anything or do not leave anything to the imagination. She is a bright star, she is not really pop even though she has made wonderful pop songs, she is not just classical...she stands in the middle and she belongs to an elite group of super talented vocalists. Checkout her short songs below, this Homs native lady shines every time.

Crazy or Majnoonua is the title of her new song, a song the Lebanese B list songstress recorded in the now popular Iraqi dialect. There's a unique style for the Iraqi song and impostors are unwelcome. Rola wanted to do something different as she believes art has no borders.

Rola will film a music video for the song, and she is now prepping for a concert in the Iraqi town of Erbil on May third. The team behind the song is all Iraqi and Rola is hoping the song will bring attention to her success and popularity. Rola has yet to peak and it seems she has not done well in the past three years, it's too bad because she is talented but marketing and bad press may be to blame.

This is a throwaway song that Iraqi fans of Rola would find of interest  but I do not think the appeal goes beyond that demographic. Too much noise, and little magic.

I am crazy about the entirely new look, the spunk feel and the vibe the song releases in the air. I love the lyrics, this is what takes to make an entertaining pop track that comes from a girl but lands in everyone's heart.

It starts like an 80s pop with that guitar that sets the mood--it's happy one and then Randa comes swinging putting her guy in his place....let's make is official and get married legally....mom won't shut up about me!
