    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.

    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.

    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?

    I thought that the middle east included parts of Asia and north Africa

    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.

    good to know american popstars don't have the exclusive rights to being over opinionated and (dare i say?) idiotic on so many issues.

    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.
