when is the song is ok, and the music video is HOT

Nothing original about the lyrics....the music sounds like the best of Techno....but the music video is fun to watch, the models and the dancers are worth the money.

I did enjoy the special affects, the lights and the style....you can tell the director of this work watches a lot of MTV videos so you know they are up to date on what's hot. That's why the music video is really special.....too bad the lyrics are really old.....

The singer whom I have no idea who he is does look really good and has a sense of fashion so I think in the Internet age he will be around YouTube for eternity.

i would hope the director of this music video would get gigs promoting fashion lines, I have not seen someone has a sense of how the camera moves and its affects on the look of the subjects....the creative director is a female and the stylist is also a female that's why the music video is fun to watch and re-watch again. Of course the main directors is Waleed Mahmoud who I have not heard of before, but sure like his work.

Layla Ahmed Zaher, Child Star enters the Stage

Layla Ahmed Zaher, is the newest Arab child star....she is staring along side Big names in MoHtaram Ella 1/4 a comedy about a bachelor and many adventures in the land of women.

Egypt gives many of those child stars and many former child stars that never go away and continue to make movies and much more. This Egyptian little girl has what it takes, you love her the moment you see her, her energy tells you "I am here to stay" and she has the charm and the chemistry with the other stars.

Upon watching the music video promoting the upcoming movie, I realize it's Layla Ahmed Zaher the star of the show and everyone will be talking about how cute she it. Good job, and hope her family has better parenting skills than many celebrity parents in Hollywood lack.

Cannot wait to see the movie, the clips in the music video make it seem promising wholesome entertainment for the entire Arab family.

Claudia El Shemali Is that You?

Claudia El Shemali was a huge stare in the late 90s, she was the hottest thing in her home Lebanon due to her catchy song. Claudia is pre-internet star and her stardom came at the same time Arabic cable TV were just getting started.

كلودا الشمالي - حبيب الروح

Then one day Claudia, the plumy Lebanese starlet vanished with no traces. No one heard anything about her, she has not talk to the media or made any TV appearance. Leaving her fans wondering if they will ever see her back with another song of the like of Habib Elroo'H

That's why it was a surprise for me to see her back with a new music video and a song that mimics her older work, the Lebanese style of strong voice and unapologetic in your face dialect. As why Claudia El Shemali decided to make a comeback now from her very long sabbatical.

titled Gareeb "Stranger" plays as a faily tale of the likes of a thousand night stories. Dazzling outfits, exotic dancers, servants, lavish palaces...etc. Claudia still maintains her full look, she has not tried to lose weight which is good in today's world. Good song, but doubt if it can live up in a world where Najwa Karam has rightfully dominated this style.

The Gulf Was Never Out, It's Huge Now

3 Generations of A list Gulf music figures collaborate to bring this song to life. Poetry comes natural to the Arabic people of the Gulf region. The charming voice of Abu Baker Salim, the exciting and strong voice of Rashd Almajid meet and sing Sami'h "forgiving" but this would not be a unique son without the music of Fayz Alsaid, the young man who still have few musical tricks up his sleeve. You can see the creative and sometimes magical musician Fayez at the beginning of the song before the two stars take on this wonderful song.

Sheik Hamdan Al Maktoom jotted those meaningful lyrics, the man who does not need the money or the fame crafted many poems that has been turned into songs by various Arab stars.
It always gives me the a warm fuzzy feeling when I see two stars from two different eras collaborate...this time we see three stars from three different eras work together to give us a sweet song and may I say those men are as manly as it gets, yet they come up with this very emotional song.

I am starting to think the Gulf style music is making a comeback as there have been a wave of incredible songs performed by Arab stars for the past two years. Many stars have opted to releasing their albums in Gulf dialect and musical notes. I do not know about you, but I know that I do like this surge.
