I Love When Stars Fake It By Acting Surprised

Egyptian singer who looks like a club bouncer Khaled Selim and Sarah they girl that seems to never quit were guests of Tratata, a talk show that brings a pair of Arab entertainers and have them sing in duets and talk about their work.

I like both stars, but I did not like the fake look at least Sarah had when she was asked to sing something in English, this was not just a moment that came out of the blue....they always talk about these things ahead of time.

Again, both stars have stellar voices that which made them a great couple to do a cover of the all too famous Whitney Houston song "I Will Always Love You

Khaled Selim & Sarah I WILL ALWAYS LOVE U/خالد سليم وساره الهاني

Men 2idy 2012 The Bad Nay 2012 / نايا - من ايدي HQ

Naya makes good pop songs, but with one problem. Her manager is a schmuck, a jerk and classless bastard. Why? He is using Naya's talent to get back at his wife and he has always made that clear. Naya is a tented star and she need a ruthless manger to help get her gigs and songs. What Naya does not need is to get caught in a family feud.

She is a star on her own not a younger version of Nawal Al Zoghby, the divorcee of Naya's manger who I won't mention his name. Naya has a sweet voice that makes her a great candidate for breakup pop songs, but her latest do not seems o live up to Naya's earlier work (check out tizkar).

Men Eidy is a pop song made for clubs, you cannot do a sad song to a party music, it just takes away from the fine crafted lyrics. It's what it's a good song with loud music

When Wael Kfoury Was Cool Not Pathetic

Remember the 90s? If your answer is Yes, then you will know a cool kid from that not so distant past...Wael Kfoury was the invincible kid of Arabic pop. He was everywhere and he was the guy to listen to from Morocco to Dubai from Syria to Sudan he was on every radio. And we loved him for it because his songs made us happy.

But do you remember a happy and dancey Wael Kfoury hit song in the past 10 years? I do not think that would be easy. He has cornered himself in doing lame romantic songs--some of them are good. But such songs have turned Wael the cool happy singer with passion into a zombie whose fans are limited to older women nostalgic to better times.

He has not released an album in a really long time, and he has found trouble finding a company that wants his album--maybe he asks for too much money. I miss the cool Wael who did happy songs and sounded like a fighter in the ring seeking glory. Wael does not talk to the media and his bodyguards rough up photographers in concerts and there's a talk about his non-secret secret marriage.

the song below was one of his better known songs when every concert and party in Arabia played it at weddings, guys and girls found it a hit. It's not too late for Wael Kfoury to make a song of this magnitude, I just do not feel that he wants to anymore.

Interesting Facts About Zayn Malik

Tamer Hosny Has A Million Twitter Followers And Other Lies

Tamer Hosny does not tweet often, and he has an unverified twitter account--unlike most celebrities who verify their twitter account to protect.

Yesterday, brother Hosny has announced he now has a million follower on Twitter! But it does not seem those are real people. No other Arab celebrity have reached the million fan rank--I think Haifa Wahbe has the most followers  and she really engaged people.

Here's the Intel on this twitter bullshit. New Egypt Consulting, a firm that does social mega bookmarking and  SEO has announced that Tamer has purchased those followers with money. In the blog post the company states if you look at the followers, they are based in the States, and only a month ago,

1. June 3rd, 2012, Tamer Twitter page has 78 thousand followers
2. July 1st, 2012, Tamer Twitter page has 240 thousand followers
3. And by July 15th, 2012, Tamer has reached the million follower mark--that's 300 percent increase?

In June has had only 18 tweets, and up to July 15th he had only 8 tweets. Plus has has not been in the news and as far as we know he did no go to Tahrir Square to cry again. 

If Tamer wanted to maintain that number, he has to pay up some serious cash, as those are rented followers. And one more thing none of these followers is going to be re-tweeting or replying to anything Tamer Hosny says, that's if he had anything to say. 

This is not the first time, Tamer Hosny has been accused of paying for love, it's a long established rumor now that most people who faint at his concerts are for hire. 

Sometimes you really cannot buy love,

Aabed - Ana Meen, A Dramatic Duet For Ladies

Aabed sounds like girls, and that might be a good thing. A girl can express emotions than a man, but Aabed wanted a song where he can express his emotions to the lady in his life. The song is about him trying to figure it out, but there's a lady with him, that we do not have a name for. That's unless you wait till the end to find out that her name is Linda Bittar....she does the chorus thing.

She loves him too, but somehow there are issues to work out. But then she is sick in the operation room and she passes away. Aabed had a ring but then the ring goes to nobody. Sad song for a romantic song. I was under the impression that Aabed is Lebanese, but he is Moroccan actually. The composers of the lyrics and the music come from Lebanon and Syria.

Karl Wolf Is Big Deal, Just Ask Sandy

Pop is always looking for new ways it can stay relevant and stay kin business. Duets tend to work well that way. While most singers hope for a duet with another singer who speaks their language, that's not always the case.

Canadian singer Karl Wolf is working on a new song and music video with an Egyptian singer--who happens to also be an eye candy and goes by the name Sandy. I am looking at behind the scenes footage and I see a full bar with bubbly. The music video is bring filmed in Dubai where Sandy's favorite director is based.

Keep on mind, Karl is based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He has been a singer, songwriter and producer since 2001. He is very proud of his Lebanese heritage. Apparently, there's a scene where Sandy is putting her makeup on in the bathroom and Karl is surrounding be females yet he is still looking for love.

It seems that Karl really likes Sandy as they are planning a number of concerts together. I think this is a healthy collaboration, Karl need Egypt and Sandy is the ticket there. Sandy needs to prop up her resume in Lebanon and outside, Karl might help
