"Sway" Cover by Egyptain Poptress Marwa Nasr

Marwa Nasr is sick of doing the same old songs in Arabic pop so for this holiday season, she is going American on us. That means she covered an American classic. Sway is the song of choice, in fact this is another song that Arabs happen to enjoy as well.

I like Matwa, and I think her choice has gotten her some attention in the internet world. Marwa might be doing concerts in Egypt, even though times are tough, something has to happen as droves of people like to celebrate the once a year concert. Toward the end, the song gets an Eastern melody which gives it some local flavor.

As far as the English goes, Marwa did well. However, I used to have the same problem, not sure where to place the emphasis on words, which makes my English sounds like Arabic. Good luck trying to find out the artist that has the best rendition of this once Mexican song "¿Quién será?
