WATCH: SAMIRA SAID | MAZAL | OFFICIAL VIDEO | 2014 | سميرة سعيد | كليب مازال #Hot

In few short hours, Morocco's number one diva Samira Said's latest video traveled the universe and back. Watching the music video and my first thought was AMAZING! this is a well-made music video where top notch--but not over the top technology was used. Samira Said and the director did a stunning job. The futuristic outfits are captivating....the wax shoes are original. She showcases a number of looks that rival those of Madonna and Lady Gaga. I do not recall a more exiting music video than Mazal. It offers the right amount of all the elements that make a music video something to want to watch more than once.

The Director got the most out of Samira, she looks to have turned back the clock and revealing so much force. I like how this clip, shows Samira the hip years, it's not a Lebanese thing to look younger and rock our. Samira did it with a wonderful song in her own native dialect.Again this is the first original song by her in five years, and it was released late last year.

Well played Samira Mazal is the best song you made since 11 years ago when you had that Yoom Wara Yoom instant hit. Seasoned you are, and so happy to have gone back to your roots where you were compelled to look forward with something original. Props to the team behind the music video, but also credit goes to Samira for trying something new and quite honestly fresh.

Oussama Rahbani On Hiba Tawaji, Politics, Woman And #Lebanon

Oussama Rahbani is a Lebanese musician and composer. He is the son of the Lebanese composer, musician and poet Mansour Rahbani. He is an intellectual whose opinions carry a certain weight around Beirut and beyond. His latest is the mega album for the dazzling Hiba Tawaji. It's a huge production, and he took her under his wings. Off course she is a big talent, the songs are about classical love, women liberation (rights), and one song for the Arab Spring--cannot wait to hear it.

Oussama Rahbani is a guy who has lost faith in the Arab Spring and the mess one sees, he is a dreamer and sees the big picture. He is with change, but not the scary extremist and violent change. He is not telling people to bring the mold, I am hearing saying about no discrimination. I like the collaboration between him and Hiba, they seem to make a power duo.

He is also a big deal on Lebanese theater, he is a cultural force and he seems to have his favorite festival is in the gorgeous city of Byblos.

He composed for Zenobia, a musical play Mansour Rahbani followed by The Return of the Phoenix, performed at the Byblos International Festival, at Casino du Liban and in Dubai. In 2009, came the turn of a remake of the musical play Sayf 840 by Mansour Rahbani along with Ghadi and Marwan Rahbani performed at Byblos festival, and at Casino du Liban. In 2011, he produced, composed and orchestrated the album La Bidayi w la Nihayi featuring Hiba Tawaji

Shima Al Shayb Is BACK! Remember When She Was A Little Girl?

Shima Al Shayb  was gone for over ten years, that means she was missing from the music scene. The little girl who did amazing covers of beloved oldies from Oum Kalthoum, releases an original song. Remember that album she released in the mid nineties and it sold millions? Shima is back with a beautifully written and equally performed track.

This is a song she recorded for mother's day and I wish it had better marketing to make sure everyone gets it on time. But in the States, Mother's day is in May, so there's always that. The song is about traveling away form the mother, but keeping her as the compass....that guides the way... It's a love song for the mother.

Shima has a mother who is also a famous songstress in Egypt..Fatmah Eid gave birth to Shima, and now Shima is saying thank you. I appreciate the music and the composition, it makes me think I am listening to a classical piece.

She is a student of music with a high taste. She made waves when she participated in the ninth season for Star Academy. Rana Samah maintains that sweet voice, honey -laced vocals. She sings for her mommy on her mother's day. It's a love letter from a daughter to her beloved mother. Rana performed well in this song, but it might be too personal.....it's a hit song, but it's not the happy kind.

It's a song about loyalty, and family. The music is simple, it carries the song, and backs up the young vocalist. More and more of the young talents make the mistake where they put their lifestyle, cellphones and fashion ahead of their music career.

WATCH: Dominique Hourani - Delara / دومينيك حوراني - ديلارا #Mom

Dominique Hourani loves her little girl "Delara", perhaps she does not love her father as much-- not enough to stay with him, but when it comes to her little angle she is willing to do anything. This mother's day for example, Dominique Hourani made it about her little girl. About a fancy birthday party she threw for her girl.

No surprise there, the song is an original song, and you see the little girl have her moment, dancing for her mom. Not sure if the song is about the mother or the girl, but this seems like a fun party. It feels like a Karaoke song, production has a low value, perhaps the outfits and the makeup cost more than the song's production.

The song will be on Dominique Hourani upcoming album which is set to release this year.

I have found a guy who makes it fun to listen to pop music once again. Yes, he gets your heart to race as you, he is a boy band all by himself. I know he can be irresistible. He comes from the land of a thousand really good yet under-represented pop star, Egypt and he means business. He has a rare name of Hareth Munir, and he is here to play.

Just look at the cover page for his single. About him he fails from Der Alzour - Syria--so close to Iraq. However Harith’s talent was not discovered at that stage, it all goes back to his childhood and his family from his Mother side because all of them studied music.

As he used to sing for his school’s & University's anniversaries & celebrations. Harith the child had a great ability to listen to any type of music and play it on a number of instruments Piano, Guitar and especially Oud. You kind of can never tell if he is Egyptian or Syrian. He puts on a convincing Egyptian dialect. I will call it his breakout dance and it's fun choice. Listen to him or take him on the go...he is worth the 4 minutes. You may get hooked.

Pascale Machalani has already filmed the music video for new song, she want a different route--the song is in Algerian dialect, a popular dialect yet inaccessible to many.

Pascale Machalani is working on her Gulf dialect album for that affluent market, where she will also sing in Iraqi. Not sure what Pascale Machalani has been up to, since her marriage and the baby she seems to have taken a sabbatical from her music career. I like the new track, it's actually, it's upbeat and offers a distinct flavor.

Go Buy The New Nancy Ajram Album No 8 So She Can Live In A Bigger Home!

Poor Nancy Ajram, she needs a new home, bigger cars, and more vacation time. So guys please pay-up for her so that she can have a better life than your own. Nancy, the wife of a low-key Lebanese dentist, and the mother of two little girls just released a new album. It's her 8th album, and she simply called it No 8! Who is counting anyways?

I like Nancy and the company that produced (marketed) the album, she always settles with platinum records. So make sure you get an original copy, never mind that most the Arab world is on fire, never mind, unemployment is higher than the summer temperature.

Aside from that, Nancy made a good album--she really has only made one album since she became a star and replicated the experience so very well.

He is a playboy, one of the finest the Lebanese capital ever saw. And he is releasing a new single where he is singing the blues on the human race and the loveless life he is experiencing. We are only humans goes the song, and he is the composer behind this song about the sad state of the human race and the interactions one see on daily basis.

Ziad Bourji is also busy working on a song for the beloved Arab Idol Mohammed Assaf, who was on his studio for recording. This is not a love song by any definition, I like this style, but I find myself unable to enjoy it more than once in a while. The impressive thing is in the fact that Walid Al Massih has arranged the music.

Videos posted by Rotana Channel do not tend to do as well as those posted by other music production companies' channels. Not sure why this is....but when it comes to TV music network, Rotana does OK. Now, one of the new voices that was signed by Rotana years ago, is none other than Zee Zee Adel, the lady from Star Academy.

Rotana does not tend to hire new faces, they prefer seasoned and more established stars, but they tend to book few of them. Zee Zee and Huda Saad were among those few. Egyptian Zee Zee while very talented, she was like a flash. She shot to fame in 2008 and 2009, then it was over. I cannot tell you the last song she made. She has the looks of Shakira and Byonce all combined.

This might be due to the instability in the Arab world--namely Egypt and due to the sluggish music market. Zee Zee has not done anything major in four years--this is like eternity. She did release a song about how much she loves Egypt. She is a funky voice and her music videos show that...she also does warm songs, but I feel she has so much to give--after some training of course. I give you the best two songs and best two music videos she has made to date.

Egypt's premier soccer club is a celebration mode, and Hamaki from Egypt has a song for them. Things in Egypt generally suck right now, and sports has suffered a great loss since they do not play as many matches.....but the fans got nothing else to do.

Another impressive thing, is the club's ultras they have been involved in the political battlefield, they are a force not to mess with....they are so organized. This is a sport song with fighting words, club spirit is all over the song. It comes from an A team of musicians. Wacky Amr Mostafa composed the music, and Ayman Bahgat Amar wrote the lyrics.

The is song is about the family that includes generations of fans who pass on the torch.

I like when celebrities give their nice opinions about their peers. Elaph caught up with Dominique Horani whose face seems frozen most of the time.....I like how she talks about her albums....Hers do not seem to sell much really, but she does not stop...plus she does not seem to get a lot of big concerts....but that does not stop her from being a celebrities and a divorcee who has a tough spirit.

Dominique is not writing songs, and talks about her own touches on each of the songs. She talked about how people fought her when she started singing. She does not mind if her daughter gets into the business but she will be right next to her.....

She did a lot of sexy music videos where she was dressed close to nothing, but she kind of mellowed down. C'mon get to the opinion piece about Elissa, Nancy, Najwa, and Haifa.Dominique seems to really like Najwa Karam....she is a big fan of her strong personality. Not a big fan of Elissa, or Haifa it seems.....Nancy is a nice lady and Dominique approves.

Leaked: The Very Last Romantic Song By Fadel Shaker "Nisetha" 2014

$

He may be a mad man, a wanted criminal in Lebanon, but the legend won't go away. Lebanese crooner Fadel Shaker has been singing for more than 15 years, non-stop romance that broke records and traveled worlds. Though in the last two years he stopped doing soft romantic songs, he retried from the music industry.

Then he joined a cult, started going to rallies, talking politics and defending the Syrian opposition, speaking trash on the Assad regime. that made him unpopular with some groups, since most do either support Assad or make no comments. Then Fadel started posing with guns, and he was rumored to be in a war with gangs and then he was surrounded in a mosque where a number of Lebanese troops were killed. Then a video surfaced of the romantic guy talking about two murders....it was unclear.

Aside from that he kept making songs with religious messages and with no music--Islamic style just percussions. But it seems the music industry wasn't done, a new song surfaced for him--it was never heard before and it's a beautiful track. An original song coming from a hit-maker that we thought has finished....A delightful song about the past the nostalgia. It's actually not a short song.

Lyricist Ahmed Mady is the talent behind the release of this song, this son was recorded a while back, and composed by Basim Yehia and arrangement by Bilal Zain. The song was first released via twitter. Ahmed seems to like Fadel and is asking to give him a chance, not to sentence him to capital punishment. In the post below, he says that these forces are even erasing the song every time I post it.

Ahmed Ezz Is The Father Of Zeina's Twins! The celebrity scandal

$

Everything I hear and read tell me Ahmed Ezz is the father of the twins, he is trying to deny, deny, deny and blame the media once, blame the mother of his children....and it's all not working. He is buying time and trying to win based on a technicality.....if you do not have an official marriage certificate, a DNA test cannot be ordered. I know he will be shown wrong when the DNA test is taken, I think he is also hoping to bribe his way out of that one and get some lab to say it's not his kids--welcome to Egypt

His combative and idiotic attorney has been making the rounds in the media and attacking Zina and implying she is a girl with no morals. We know that a friend of Ahmed Ezz came forward and shared private messages where this playboy has confessed to his relation with Zeina. Also we now know the courts in Egypt are questioning the two doctors whom he hired to abort the babies. We also know that Zina would only lose if she was laying--no woman would made shit like this up out of fear of public humiliation. She was strong enough to taken on these bullies and tell the world the truth....

I have no doubt that Ahmed Ezz is the father, he is so cheap, and so hot at the same time. His looks and his antics are the secret of his trade....plus he just got millions for an upcoming show--he does not want to alienate some of his biggest fan base--the ladies. But he has now done so much damage to his brand with the airing of so much of his dirty laundry....he is married to more than women--Angham is on the list. He probably has taken money from some rich ladies who think they own him--so he has to deny this marriage. He knows the truth but he is hoping to fool us-I have yet to meet someone who is sympathetic to his cause.

Ahmed Ezz must be hiding away in the corner now after being publicly shamed by his nemesis - and supposedly secret wife - Zeina! The Egyptian actress was finally able to prove that Ezz really IS the father of her twins. The actor profusely denied her claims of fatherhood for the past few months, but has now no option but to step down from his high horse and take responsibility for his children. This guy is so stupid, he thought people would take his side? I don't believe a word coming out of his mouth.

Now Ahmed has refused to take the DNA test--an innocent man would step forward take the test and share the news with the world. But he thinks it's a crime to father twins, he miscalculated, it's a blessing and let's hope they will be able to forgive you as they grew older. Ezz, had a chance to make thinks right, but his arrogance and growing man in a male-dominated community he thought he could get away and the girl would shut up...Zeina took him to school and dragged him through the mud to get him to recognize his own blood.

Tell me if you disagree with me.....sure Zeina shares some of the blame but she is not the one who walked away from the twins--she fought for this and took a risk--but most talking heads came to her side. Zeina hand in there and know that many of us have placed their faith and hope that you won't do harm for the women movement.

Nicole Saba is famous for many things, an actress, a songstress, a celebrity and an entertainer. Now she had something honest to say, had I not been  too busy, I would be a servant at the service of my little daughter. Now, she is working on a TV drama with Tamer Hosny. This is her return to drama after 3 years of sabbatical.

Nicole is a smart entertainer whose Egyptian presence is hard to deny, she is a big name in Egypt, she has already made half a dozen films. She came along way from being one of the four cats more than 15 years ago. She has done well doing the Egyptian girl roles, and she is boasting about that. Keep on mind she used to be in the same band with Maya Diab who is upping her game.

She has a new single to be released in Lebanese dialect and the song is in the production.

In very short years, and in a quiet fashion, Lebanese composer Salim Assaf has transformed himself from a beloved and a popular composer among pop stars of Lebanon, into a first-rate singer and lyricists. He is a composer, lyricist and a singer....as far as I know he has yet to do a live concert, but he did do tons of interview and studio singing.

Today, we witness the release of a new music video from Salim Assaf whose words are so romantic and whose music is so soothing....now he just added one more thing, a stylish and well-dressed bro! Now he may come across as a jaded lover, but it has always been his style

As a composer he had to have a good voice to play out the songs as he plays them for the interested artist. Now, he wants more, and you know he deserves more.....he is now an artist walking around the city of Paris with all these locks....he had one of his and there it in the river---he is fed up....and a man who has a million wounds. I like the rhythm of his songs, they are lively. And even the songs he composes and gives away fly high....

Gulfe music fans are excited these days, unemployment in the music industry sent their way many respectable names of the Arab world--they already got an album from Egyptian crooner Hany Shaker. One their proud moments was to get Assalah to sing for them, and she already released not one albums but two albums in their regional dialect.

She also does release many singles, she just did another song....where she is asking the do-gooders to reach out to him and explain how this love thing works and how much she loves him. It's not the kind of song that makes you want to throw up, the vocal performance of Assalah is always good, this time the music was a big help.

In other news, Assalha has been talking smack about her sister who recorded a pro-Assad song. Assalah hate the regime and what he has done to Syria--her words.

"The Most Dangerous Gal In Egypt" By Mostafa Ebrahim

Mostafa Ebrahim has a very good voice, and I am a fan, what is a let down in his new single (perhaps debut track) is the music. It sounds cheap and the production and mastering are weak. The only bright spot is the dancy drum beat in the middle.

I like the title of the song, the most dangerous gal in Egypt is about one hell of a women who is pretty attractive, and makes guys want to look, makes them question what the guy next to her has to offer her. The song is about girl who seduces men without breaking any codes or laws, a love song of sort and Ebrahim did well, it's enough for him to see the song posed in a number of file sharing sites in Egypt. Plus, I dig his look it reminds me of that Koran pop star from last year.

Iraqis had 50 percent chance of winning the title of The Voice, and they did...Star Saad, took home the trophy and it brought some joy in the lives of many in Iraq and outside. He also was under the banner of Iraqi coach and judge Kadem Al Saher. The 20 year old charismatic singer, he is certainly the youngest on board and compared with other shows he is still very young.

Star is a decoration guy who worked in the family business, but he found his heart in the music biz, and now he gets to have his moment under the sun. The stage was a mess, and it felt like the fireworks were missing, but the guy who so happy and had his country's flag. One thing, the guy who won the title before him has yet to breakout.

Star has a manly voice, that excels in singing the blues... he also sings for Iraq and his voice makes tears cheap when he does the mawal, you cannot go wrong.
