This lady can sing in a very different way than most Arab singers ever can. She sings those romance songs the same way Barbara Streisand and Celine Dion approach their songs. They dreamy songs for sure, but the lyrics are in the center stage. Meaningful that comes from the heart and stay there. The great thing about Vivian's choices, is that she does not dabble into pop music, she sticks to what she is good at. Not trying to make a quick buck is something hard to come by.
Vivian Bishara had a one hit years ago, the Arabic cover of the famous Celine Dion song for Titanic. But then there was another single, followed by another. We now have the latest dreamy pop song from a lady that can sing and feel what she is actually singing. It's Opera style voice, so you know power written all over Vivian's songs. She comes from a humble Palestinian background to introduce an Arabic version of a world famous music genre.
The title is about the love that could have been, the missed connection. Once again, this is the Arabic version of ABBA's song The Winner. Vivian's songs tend to be big hits in Palestine, Jordan and Egypt where radio stations take them to the airwaves.

That's a very nice version indeed. Has she done more of that kind?
