Interview and video from Egyptian pop star
... from the performer of such ditties as
"I Hate Israel, I Love Amr Moussa." and "Hey People, It Was Only a Tower and I Swear by God that They [the U.S.] Are the Ones Who Pulled it Down."
It's very interesting. look out for his comment on Silvio Berlusconi:

middle eastern orgers, have you ever heard of him?
Edit: oh, and watch the video to the end as he does a fun song about avian flu.

Re: Interview and video from Egyptian pop star
but you must have loved the bird flu song?
Re: Interview and video from Egyptian pop star
That second one has a really catchy title.
At least this music has a meaning beyond "lets get some money and get laid" even if it is rather extreme!
"Put 'em in blue coats, put 'em in red coats, the bastards will run all the same!"
"The English are a strange people....They came here in the morning, looked at the wall, walked over it, killed the garrison and returned to breakfast. What can withstand them?"
Re: Interview and video from Egyptian pop star
Oh dear me.
Do you think he writes his own songs?
Ps: The bird flu song was fantastic!

Re: Interview and video from Egyptian pop star
The interviewer woman is nice-looking, and seemed kind of amused by her subject's opinions. The guy wears more jewelry than she does. I guess the 'bling-effect' extends to Egypt also.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Her desperate attempt to hold back laughter when the 'pop star' said that he'd appoint his sons to all the different ministeries and get the one he made minister of housing to give him a larger appartment 'because he's the prime minister' says it all really.Originally Posted by KukriKhan

Re: Interview and video from Egyptian pop star
I too liked the interviewer woman, she looks good and is apparently normal in contrast to the "popstar"...
And no, I didn´t like any of his songs. I´ve heard better middle-eastern music, though, I think Egypt is pretty much in Africa and not in the middle-east, isn´t it?

Re: Interview and video from Egyptian pop star
Since Sinai is in the Middle East (if you cut it at the Canal) then Egypt has it's role to play as a middle eastern state. Just like Turkey is a European state (if not fully).
Politically you can certainly include Egypt as it looks far more to the middle east than it does towards Sudan, Libya or Ethiopia.
You may not care about war, but war cares about you!
Re: Interview and video from Egyptian pop star
good to know american popstars don't have the exclusive rights to being over opinionated and (dare i say?) idiotic on so many issues.
Re: Interview and video from Egyptian pop star
but didn't you enjoy it?
I did. Big mouthed popstars are an interesting breed. I enjoyed this guy's nepotistic views.
and the songs about new years resolutions and bird flu.
