Doha Sings for Lebanon

I love Najwa Karam take on Egyptian artists, she was furious, and has every right to be so. She does not want to sing in Egyptian until they do...this is not too hard to understand. Yara was there too, as of right now she is the most popular non Gulf citizen singer and of course no one does Gulf songs like she just did.

Here few bits and sound bites from those press conferences held by each of the stars at Doha.

1. Melhim Barakat, thinks George Wassouf lost his voice, his best asset. He also thinks that there is no real musicians nowadays, they all repeat musical sentences, same old ones. He also thinks that Lebanon does not take care of its own stars. He states that when a Lebanese entertainer gets sick, Syria steps up the treats them.
2. Najwa Karam, says she loves Egypt, but she won't sing in that country's dialect because of the elitism of Egyptian entertainers who make no effort in singing in the Lebanese dialect. She also said no one ever picks on Gulf singers for not singing in Egyptian, but all love to pick on the Lebanese.
3. Other Lebanese favorite took art of this event, Melhim Zain, Ayman Zabeeb, and Tony Hanna entertainer and represented their beloved country.
