Assi Hallani, The Official Singer For Arab Dictators



No other Arab singer in the moder day sucks up to Arabic rulers as hard as the Lebanese singer Assi does it. He sang for just about everyone in power. Kings, presidents, leaders, visionaries and dictators. If they hold office and if they have money, Assi will show up and come up with a song that feels like the stuff you buy at the dollar store--shity at best.

I did enjoy the clips from Dubai, they have blown some cash to get some really good footage of this gem of a city. The moment Assi shows up on the screen, I switch screens. This does not sound like a decent song. At some part Assi is praying for God to protect the people of the UAE. Like hell God would accept this dude prayers.

To his credit, Assi has always liked horses and so does the leader of Dubai, Prince Moe. But then Assi at the end holds a copy of Prince Moe's book "My Vision". I like the prince and his work, he is a decent guy, but please he has not asked to be worshiped or made into a saint, which is exactly what Assi is doing here.

See the places where Tom Cruise in his fourth Mission Impossible did not have time to show you in his really cool flick.
