See a lot of commentators swamped my blog defending a singer called Zayne. on this blog. I knew nothing of his song, I only had issue with using a belly dancer as a prop that has nothing to do with the reality. It's so stereotypical and so tired. But Zayne is not alone. Here's another group that has little knowledge of Arabic culture, but that did not stop them from bastardizing the culture. While everyone has the freedom to express their speech, I have the same right too.
I doubt that, but that doesn't stop some people on the internet from arguing that this techno dance song that makes little sense in Arabic yet alone in English qualifies to be the best Arabic song.
I have seen terrible songs in my lifetime, but this one is not terrible, it's just weird. Getting some dark person dressed like an Indian to sing Arabic doesn't qualify as an Arabic song. Hear me out, this this song mute the volume, play any Greek, Russian, Persian, Turkish song and the song will be OK for that song too.
The ladies are fine looking, specially the Britteny Spear wannabe, sure that's what you get hot in Europe, Germany in particular.
