Hamada Helal Stands For What Exactly?

I have an advise for the Egyptian singer Hamada Hilal, no one wants to hear music right now. So you can go back to your mega house house and hide till change comes. Here is his latest song not sure what he is trying to say or what party he stands for. It sounds like he is for everything, he is for the current regime and also against it, with the protest and not happy with it. I am guessing he just wanted a song out.

He is showering the army with tons of love and praises, but I guess he wasn't watching the news today so he might want to take back his song and run with it. Hamada, the likable Egyptian singer turned actor has always been close to his home country and has always expressed with his voice the pulse of the street, mainly about soccer...and the vile cartoons of Prophet Muhammad. Now he is back with this.

I do not know what to make of the news clips used in this slide show, but that's not his fault, maybe he just released a track and someone took the liberty of adding those footage. I have always been a fan of Hamada's, but now I am scratching my head.

Love My Egypt Song Collection

The people of Egypt should be proud they might as well have breathed a new life into Democracy in the Arab world. The Egyptians picked where the Tunisians left of, now it's up to the masses to bring back reform and democracy for the entire region.

I wanted to put a collection of songs for Egypt that has appeared in the past 7 years and I wanted those songs to be performed by Egyptian voices. Nancy Ajram had a good song and so did others, but I wanted the voice of Al Masreen "the Egyptians" who are the only ones who can communicate to us about being in love with your home. Sticking to your country when things are up and when they are down....

Enjoy this assortment of love songs about home and about patriotism.
