In Defense of Elissa Bikini Beach Picture @elissakh

I mean she is a grown woman who likes to go to the beach and wears what's best fitting. We all know that bikinis are what you would expect at the beach. It's not a big deal. For Elissa she has never shown much skin--cleavage is a different thing. But it seems she does not care as much and she decided to share a photo of hers on the beach. She has shared many photos of hers having a good time on the beach (here and here)

This time, the picture was a bit more real than people like, she wore a bikini.....let's be frank why this is not a big deal...

  1. She is on a private beach.
  2. Showing only her backside
  3. She is a Christian, so no need to preach to her the teaching of Islam.
  4. She is a gown woman and to each is own
  5. She never asked to be a role model, you made her into one.
So take it easy, the world has not ended, there will be tomorrow and take it easy. No need for you to go on social media insulting her left and right. Just rise above it, if you do not like it....it's your right not to like it, but she is also a free soul.

Since she shared this photo, people have either been attacking her or defending her. It's natural....keep on mind the company that produces her work is Saudi, but the company has no religion it only wants business. In other news, Elissa will be heading to Egypt next week for a concert. Her first concert in that country in two years.

Salma Rachid Finds Her Inner Palestinian As She Sings for #Gaza @SalmaRach

She is a young and promising Moroccan star who did very well on that show Arab Idol--she was best friend with Mohammed Assaf, the kid from Gaza, Palestine who ended up wining the show. It only makes sense for Salma to sing for Gaza as billions of us saw the crimes and atrocities carried out by the democratically violent army of Israel.

Salama worked with a team of young Palestine talents to tell a story, she knows she is a big draw inside Palestine as she was a choice of many. Now she has her heart and mind set on Gaza and the little kids. Lyrics of this song are for Rami Shabana, the music is for Khalid Khaseeb and the musical arrangement is for Rachid Mohammad Ali. She also worked with a Palestinian production company that helped bring this project together. Remember Salma has already performed in Ramallah and toured the holy land.

The song is not out yet, but the teaser is promising. The young artists shared it and said, as an artist we cannot fight with weapons, but we do with our means.

The Big Dog is Back! Wahashtony - Hesham Abbas وحشتونى - هشام عباس

The charming pop star with a sense of humor is back. Hesham Abbas is the voice and entertainer whom you, your mother, and your sister equally enjoy. He has not released an album since 2009, so he is doing a single for all his fans to say that he misses every single one of them. Mr. Abbas is trying to make nice with his fans all over the globe. This is a slow song, not a party track.

It's a celver song, he is actually telling them that he misses being with them, he is singing to the fans--the song is universal it can be applicable in a number of scenarios....so he is back with a new trick. I like Hesham Abbas and love seeing him perform. He is the cool guy that we all wanted to be when we grew up. He has not done well in the internet age.

Hesham Abbas does have a global fame, thanks to his global hit Nari Nari  so he remains the big dog on the block. He likes to do a lot of private events and weddings for the right payment. But few stars can pull the kind of charm he musters. Enjoy Hesham Abbas' trip down memory lane. He seems to be the only pop star in his age group that often expresses his thoughts about growing older and being away from loved ones.

This is a sophisticated song about a critical topic--poverty and injustice. Pascale Sakr picks a worthy cause to highlight with her classical style. Pascale likes to celebrate Lebanon like she did in her album released a while back, she is about that country, its people and the love stories that people live.

The artists joins half a dozen divas who focus on similar themes. she looks so much like her sister Carol. Pascale is also the daughter of Lebanese nationalist Etienne Sakr, a former member of the Lebanese Forces and Leader of the Far-Right Guardians of the Cedars and to Alexandra Sakr. She is the oldest of 3 children and her younger sister is also a Lebanese pop star Karol Sakr. She started singing at a very young age. Her repertoire includes many languages including Lebanese Arabic, French, and English.

This Song From El Ashahs Will Give You Seizure العصابة - الأشاش

El Ashahs is a new Egyptian movie about a thug or what is been called "El Baltaji" it's hardly the first movie on this subject--they made one just last year. It's one of these movies where they stitch a number of tiny stories as they tell the story of one street thug who terrorize people and sleep around.

Most people are indifferent about this film, some even hate the kind of topic or the style of the producers who seem to prey on the weak and poor people by telling stories about them being sex-crazed, abusive people who like to dink do drugs and dance like strippers.

Now, we have the song which is meant to market the film, a wedding meets a block party--lots of dudes, guns, dancing ladies, and something of a rave party. Egypt is really not like this, this seems to have been filmed by someone high, and frankly the way it's filmed it might even give you seizure and panic attack. This is the techno version of auto-tine lame song with lots of slang. The thing these people who act in these movies do not live anywhere near where these stories are supposed to take place--and these people drive fancy rids and have bodyguards.

Six Vocalist, One Amazing Song For Palestine #Gaza @LianBazlamit12

Six young Arab vocalists and stars from shows like Star Academy joined forces, put their egos aside and sang one folkloric song from the Palestinian history. The versatile Lian Bazlmit leads the pack, the accessible Yehia Swees, the bold Mohammad Rafie, the warm Lilia Bin Shikha, the dazzling Diala Oudeh, and beloved Mohammad Bash. These folks could be doing a lot more with their time yet, they chose to spend their time singing for the people of Gaza and Palestine

Brining all these young talents to do this song at this time took some work, but they came together for Gaza and Palestine. they brought their A game and stood for justice. Their voices make this song extra special....It's a breath of fresh air to hear a song we grew up listening to, get a new lease on life. This song is about dignity and freedom.

Thank you folks for this gem, it's a song that will be sticking around for a while. While most of the vocalists on this track are from Palestine--some have other connections to places like Jordan and Syria. They bleed with Palestine and they came to do what they know how to do best--sing and help people heal.

Islam Meets Funk--Thank you Mohamed Mohy In "Al Qwafy"

Egyptian lone wolf Mohamed Mohy has not released a new song in about six years. Since the release of his 2008 album and the man has not worked on any new songs. But he is changing that just today....with the release of an interesting song. It's not easy to do something that has never been done before, but here's an attempt at creating something that have never existed. before.

So you've heard of funky songs, and you have heard of Muslim songs, Mohamed Mohy mixed the two together in a fresh Sufi fashion and he came out with something if not incredible, then intriguing. Plus, I have always liked his clean look, the guy likes to wear white and hates egos and self-promotion.

Mohamed Mohy has a n interesting voice, the sad type, he does it like no other. Now he lands in Islam's Sufi tradition and make his ban rock in the desert. The song is hip, the t-shirt is cool too...the lyrics are traditional poem but arranged musically like never before. The track is about counting the virtues of the prophet of Islam (Mohammad) I like the feel, Mohy has a wonderful thing about him. I am inclined to say this song was filmed in Jordan, but it's actually filmed in Egypt near El Ain Al Sokhna resort.

Hijab wearing wearing violinist is a plus. This is song has good direction, a great location and a fresh style. So welcome back Mohamed Mohy, more please. Note, this is not the first song to do Sufi songs, but he is making them cool again and it seems he is very respectful.

The classy B list vocalist and good looking devil Simon Hadchiti has a new track out and it's about taking things easy as in solely. Simon Hadchiti is one of those artists that are well-known inside Lebanon and in Beirut night life. His fame has not travelled outside the borders of that wonderful country.

I like the beat here, the music is right, and it feels exciting--something you would drive to. His voice is always pleasant. The production is wonderful, I love his dialect it makes you think you are in the desert hearing a hit song from a dated era.

With Sabotage Bold Nadina Turns Up The Heat! @NadinaTV

Bless the hearts of those who attempt to do something fresh. Nadina has a new music video out, she is starting off with a bit of class and piano, then the full part mode breaks out. Make no mistake, this is a music media made in the Western style, and not just because of the language.

Nadina is likable here, and she has a lot to offer in this joint. She fuses sexy with talented without coming across as someone who tried too hard. I do not usually like songs in English, but this is an attempt from some talented and bold Lebanese artist who calls Vancouver her home. She gets to dance and perhaps belly dance while boxing and kicking ass all at once.

Much of the music video is focused on Nadina's abs, but she lyrics do not matter, the music production and mastering is pretty dazzling. I love the tiny hint of Arabic beat. This is what Nadina says she wants to do, "It's an amalgamation of North American and Middle Eastern sounds. I wanted to merge classical Arabic strings/instruments and modern Western beats. I tried to bridge all of these styles so the music doesn't lean far one way or the other."  This is a good portrait of what her career can offer.    

I hope Nadina makes it outside the Arab world, these American pop stars have nothing on her--I know this music video will be a big hit in Lebanese and Arabic networks...I hope it travels farther.

Download: Tamer Hosny 2014 Album 180 Degrees البوم تامر حسنى - 180 درجة 2014

The last summer album gets released. Tamer Hosny's latest album titled 180 Degrees sees the date light and few days remain in the summer of 2014. The good news, the album is his first collaboration with Rotana and it's huge marketing arm that reaches everywhere. Tamer had his best run with Free Music at the Mahrous household where he had a lot more hits. He is still able to make more music, like he did with Mazzika for few years, but the hits were not as frequent. Enters Rotana that snagged him earlier this year.

This is an album with exactly a dozen songs done in Tamer Hosny fashion. This is exciting, this is fresh and this is Tamer Hosny's third album since 2011's famous meltdown. He has already released a dozen singles since 2011, and has already starred in three TV dramas, and one film. Will he redeem himself? It does not matter, the guy is back with force and he refuses to take a backseat. He really invests in himself and tries to pay his way to fame.

He composed the music for few of the songs, Tamer likes to wear a number of hats. Some of the songs are his lyrics. He still finds clever ways to say "you are a pretty lady". The thing about Tamer is pretty interesting no other artist has bigger fan base than he does, but also no other artists has bigger haters base than he does. His fans are by the millions, but his haters are not exactly quiet. They argue he manufactures this fan base and pays people to do stuff that makes him look like an idol.

Love him or hate him, he is back with force, and he is not going anywhere...this album is more Tamer Hosny than anything in the past. Rotana told him to do what it takes to bring out a good album--his last year's album was pretty good to me. Please buy your copy, the original copy is the right way to go.

Algeria's Djemila Festival 2014 Offers #Gaza Support And Funds #Algeria

Algeria had plans for the huge music festival in the city of Dejmila. Dejamila Festival lasts for ten days of various musical performances. It's one of the country's largest music festival. This year;s festival income was dedicated for Gaza, Palestine. People wanted to help, and the local government wanted the event to go on. Algeria has stood by the side of Palestine for a long time. My wife was born there, and she attests to that.

Algerian more so than other Arabs are more passionate about rallying support for Palestine. And Palestine loves them back--even if it was for a soccer game. Just see their national team, they donated some of their earnings to Gaza. I think the president of the republic waned to send a message and allow his people to come to the support of people of Gaza. See how the stars speak out.

Elissa is still looking for a guy, she is pushing forty and still looking for her guy. But she is not searching in silence, we all have to suffer for hr journey. Watch this song and images from a Rotana produced TV drama, and since Elissa is one of their top artist, this song makes sense.

An innocent human, an innocent lady, a song about doing everything right yet getting not anything right. I must say, this song is pretty good, but I might be not be able to be just to Elissa, I may have outgrown her. Some of her songs are now sounding like she needs to talk to a physical therapist, and not sing. Drama is everywhere, and Elissa knows it very well.

This is not dissing a talented artist, this is dissing artists who are unable to tell a different story or a different style.

Here's a good looking guy left the Middle East to live in peace in Australia, but since he is good looking he is now an actor, a model and now a singer. Ramis Issac is dubbed "the first Assyrian/Babylonian Model." and you know I asked my wife, she agrees he is a good looking dude.

When it comes to music, if this is his first song ever, it's OK. But if his music career to hold, he needs to do better. The lyrics are corny and his vocal performance is not yet Western. His approach to music is similar to that of Arabic and Assyrian songs.

I thank Ramis for doing more, and I am happy he has found safety in a place that gives him a room to be creative and good looking.

The First Arabic Music Video About Lasbians--Thank you Rabih Gemayel (Video)

Here's a guy who comes from a political dynasty in Lebanon, but politics drives people apart. Rabih Gemayel wanted to bring them together so he chose music instead. I have taken notice of this new comer few months ago with the release of this moving dude song, a song about bros code.....a song about his past love who is now in a serious relationship with his best pal. The song is about the dilemma of what to do in this situation.

You are in love one day playing bowling and in few, love goes sour, and things go south. Rabih found this song  with Faris Iskander....and he seems to find luck with this young hit-maker. Then your buddies swings by, and shows you a photo of his gal, then you see she is none but your ex. I do not know if this is stupid concept for a music video. The only real problem here is that people are forced to conceal their identities, not that they have same gender attraction. I give the people behind the music video credit for brining out this issue to the spotlight.

Goes this song from Rabih Gemayel. Not sure why all the women are dressed like teenage cheerleaders, not real women. I give it to this artist he has gone under a makeover that fits his style. Watch for the minute he meets his ex pretending not to know her. I guess this is about Lesbian love as well. This is bold dude, perhaps the first hip song to tackle the issue of you same gender attraction in the female population.

Those Brown-Nosing Egyptian Entertainers Deserve To Live Under Dictatorship!

See the A list entertainers from Egypt pose with the army

Just watch them release one song after another praising the army and it's lovely army leader General Sisi, who has never met a a massacre he did not like. Now, the entertainers all falling in line behind him singing hims praises. They sing for the second revolution but not the first one. Le'ts be clear, the main artists in Egyptian music did not sing for the Jan 25th revolution, But they all came swinging for the second revolution (aka coup)

They are singing about their history and past glories, but have no idea that the future is what matters, and they just have ruined it for everyone else. I love how this song, calls the brotherhood a minority--forgetting off course that minorities have won the past six fair elections that took place in Egypt. The issues with such thinking, is that they fall in love with persons, not the process. Meaning democracy is a process and it's hard to like, but when a charming and soft spoken dictator raises, the people of Egypt cheer him on. and remember 30 years later their original sin. 

I thought entertainers like Medhat Saleh and Rihm Abd El Hakeem were all for freedom of speech, but they were among the first to usher a new ear of intimidation and repression. Of course those practices come wrapped in the flag of nationalism and Arab Unity. I love how they sing for Arab unity, but the new government is choking the Gaza Strip, jailing Palestinians, Syrians and Yemenis for no crime they have committed.

The humor in all this, the army targeted the brotherhood first, second they gutted the liberals, and now they are going after the Al-Azhar and the other parties that does not endorse the arm's practices.

I remind you, most of those singers who are praising the army were the same ones who sucked up to Mubrak, and now they are coming back for the encore.

Leaked! New Song By Elissa And Marwan Khoury (Audio) "Ta3bani Mennak"

Ta'aban Meenak was suppose to be one more song on Elissa's latest album released last month, but it was not included because the composer Marwan Khoury had a disagreement with Rotana and asked them not to include the song on Elissa's album. The two remain friends. It remains unclear who leaked the song or for what purpose. I imagine, Elissa and Marwan both have copies, the studio has one and perhaps Rotana....who has some to gain and a lot to lose is yet to be determined.

Marwan Khoury is a hit-maker and as they dub him, the complete artist who sing and compose and write lyrics. He needs no fame more than he already has. This is a great song, and had it been on Elissa's album it would have been one of the three good songs on it.

Elissa did a good job being less Elissa and more capable vocalist. This is Elissa like you have never heard her before. She sounds like a vocalist made for Tarab songs, a real talent and not a one trick pony like Elissa is becoming more like. This is a great song to hear live as it requires acting out what one is singing. I hope some other artist picks this song and do it justice.
