I heart heart Arab songs

i do love arabs songs... it all started with an accidental youtubing of a bollywood (which i love too) song which had a shakira song on it and on that shakira song there was a verse in arabic which i totally fell in love with and thus started my love affair with arabic songs.

arab songs for me concentrate on the voice and the singing. arab singers don't prance around much unlike their western counter parts. they just sing and wear fabulous dresses. and the songs are mostly about heartbreak (story of my life) or about lovey duvvy mushy love. somehow it just touches me. so here a low down on my fav arab singers!

Elissa: i heart heart her the most. her voice is so soothing and she's always so classy. always in a dress thats is sexy yet modest. she's hot. her songs are a reflection of how i am at this current moment. they are simple and yet wonderful poetic. also makes it easier for me to sing along. Zamby Ana is a nice song

Nawal Al Zoghbi: Her big fluffy hair and tan makes look diva ish. i dunno i bet she is but i dunno. she a hot moma. has 3 kids. although she sounds way different wen she singa live and on her cd tracks. i don't care. her songs are sometimes a little complicated. maening her arab language use is very hard to pronounce. she has wonderful and powerful ballads. Sho Akhbarak is good.

Assala: oh my god. she has this really unique voice. high pitched yet not irritating. really powerful voice. gottta listen to her u have too! syrian songbird. most of her songs are happy yappy i'm in love with you kind. Aktar is good listen.

Haifa Wehbe: Sex kitten is all i can say. plays on the sex appeal more than her singing which is ok ok lor. some her songs are fun though. Wawa go listen.

Nancy Ajram: Pop princess. sings in this squeaky voice. catchy songs. nuff said. Ashteky meno is catchy.

Sabah: oh my god. old as hell singer. she's like 80 plus now. and she has had lotsa husbands. on half her age wen she was 60 i think. still singing now. her songs are enjoyable. listen to her just for the fact that she's old as hell and she's rocking it. has a very deep voice. yana yana is good.

Oum Kulthum: One of the greatest singers of the arab peninsular. sadly has passed away. but her songs still rock. she could sing a single song for hours. repeating the lines over and over again but with slight changes in tone and melody. power voice. her songs still rock. Alf leyla wa leyla rocks.

those are the arab singer i listen too nowadays. i could post all their videos here but no. coz i am too lazy. just you tube them. so easy. fine i'll put up the links to the songs on u tube. just click on the song name. bitches.
