Youssra is one performer who plays her music as she sings her songs live on stage. Her songs are not your average songs, they tend to be satirical take on real issues. She has a great sense of humor about many dark things in her country. She has lampooned the byproducts of the revolution, now she comes back for a different topic.
Arab guys who like girls with foreign names or girls who are foreign to them. Her song is titled Jessica, a girl she says. Jessica is keeping some guy in Egypt busy as they go out all over town and he is telling her tale for everyone to hear. Youssra listens but then she lampoons the obsession and then she joins the guy in asking the lord to keep Jessica for him.
But the audience loved it and joined in the laughter. They were getting married, but then the guy met Jessica and called it the whole thing off....she plays cool and this is a dark song. He left her for Jessica but refuses to acknowledges he loves the lady. There's no like with Arab guys, there' only love and hate. No middle ground
This is the tale of many ladies in Egypt, they are the marrying kind not the ones you have fun too--at least this is how some guys see it. The song is great one, I want to meet this lovable Jessica, but I want to see the long version of this song.
يسرا الهواري - جسيكا
