Mai Selim, The Overgrown Arab Teenager



Mai Selim has become a mother, for which we are happy. This Jordanian--originally Palestinian (I think) who grew up in the Arab Gulf area, married to an Egyptian and has been living there for some time. Yes, that means her background is pretty colorful.

Now, she is also an actress, but she will always be a singer, she seems to want that to stick. To her name, there are two albums and a number of concerts and singles that are popular around the Arab world. I like that kind of fire in the belly that makes an entertainer to get back to action and stop being a diva.

Now, I revisited an older music video for Mai, and I was surprised to see that back then, she might not have the business savvy she now enjoys. She is dressed like she is some 12 years old junior high student with a crush. Yes, the kind of love tale you would see a High School Musical
