People of Kuwait inside that country are conservative, the liberal ones leave that country and happily live abroad. So when Meryam Faris planned a new year concert in that country where her all Gulf album was a big hit, you know the press will be there.
However, the Minister of Cultural Affairs in Kuwait is familiar with Meryam's craft of crazy sexy live dances that go along with her concerts. He made sure that her hips don't move for the concert. Now Meryam must of really wanted the money from that concert, so she accepted.
Now, when Meryam sings alone, and not dance, the unavoidable happened, the concert bombed. Concert goers failed to connect with the pop star, making the concert bland and dull in some parts. Meryam left the concert angry and felt that the restrictions on her have ruined the concert for everyone.
The press in Kuwait had the time of their life mocking the Lebanese bombshell for the failed concert. I tended to think that the ban on her is uncalled for, it's not like it was marketed as a family concert. But, I also know that Meryam has no limits, she has always ruffled some feathers with her choice of wardrobe that even can be censored even on prime time USA TV.
Meriam dances
I swear I watch her performances just for her curly hair :P
