WATCH: The Moroccan Babe #منى_أمرشا - ويلي ويلي | Mona Amarsha - Weili Weili

Not sure where Mona Amarsha gets her money from, she for a young pop diva, she makes so many music videos. Too many of her peers are sitting him with no work, she does not have this problem. I can understand how much money she makes from private concerts in the Gulf where she has now called it a home for years.

This Moroccan lady knows how to earn her paycheck. I do not even, think her voice is that unique. She is a persona, and a pop character, as a voice she is near average. As for the music video I learn, that those youth in the Gulf spend so much time and money trying to be anybody but themselves.

She is gorgeous and she knows that. She has this Bollywood beauties look. Go to 2:37 and see the boob shot. She will tell you it's the director! Look, artists hire the director, and they can also fire him or her. Again Mona is goes back to school and be the trouble maker she comes across to be.

Samir Sfeir Sticks It To Trashy Singers And Greedy Media Types سمير صفير زلزال 2013

Samir Sfeir has made a lot of people famous with his pop songs and the music he has been able to put together. However, he has always had people who hate him and he does not seem to care. Samir has always had a thing for singing, so it's no surprise he is back with a new single which he has titled Zilzal, the Arabic word for earthquake.

I have no clue what the subject matter of the song is, something tells me it's critical song of the media and the lousy noises that passes for entertainment. This is a good subject, and a timely song for this time. He sticks to business types, greedy media tycoons and talentless half baked voices.

It plays like a story, which Samir is telling his listeners. It comes with relatively fresh music, the subject is the treat. Samir seems to want people to see him part of the good art circles, not the throwaway entertainment. He is breaking up with those types who are not doing it for the love of the game. But to be honest, I think some may see Sfeir part of the problem.

But this song is made for certain people, he may wrote this song for his peers and media people. The jaded people will also embrace this song. The sad part, the very conservative and traditional religion people have been saying the same thing for decades now.

Mohamed Ablan, Egyptian Pop Is Still At It

Mohamed Ablan had to sing this song, just like he had to wear that scarf, and has to drive that car for his music video. He has a tangy voice. But the music video for Wana Maak is pure nonsense. The music video is literary the couple moving around--not dancing and staring at each other's eyes. That's all, and that has never felt original.

This is an OK pop song, Ablan has a voice that works for those songs, not too pleased with his style, but he has the sway moves. The actress appearing in the clip, did not have to do much acting. The song was released in the nine track album last year from the up and coming Ablan.

He flew to Italy to make this music video and Mazzika, his label is pushing him. Ablan also enjoys one treasured friendship with Samo Zaen, the pop star whose opinion he often seeks. At least according to one news report, the Italian director of the music video asked Ablan to star in one of his moves.
