‘Rihanna’ of the Arab World
Arab News ^ | Tuesday 3 June 2014 | S.H. Moulana

Posted on 06/03/2014 5:17:42 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Rihanna undoubtedly is one of the most popular female singers in the world and comparatively much younger than Elissa, a renowned Lebanese singer. Rihanna started her singing career in 2005 but in no time she shot to global fame.

On the other hand, Elissa is immensely popular in this part of the world. She is known for working in collaboration with well-known Arab and international artists like Ragheb Alama, Cheb Mami, Fadl Shaker, Chris De Burgh and Gerrard Ferrer. She is now considered one of the top singers in the Middle East. Born to a Lebanese father and Syrian mother, in 1972, she made her singing debut in 1992. Her debut album was released in 1999 and became an instant hit. She is an active social media member and a vivid literature fan. Elissa’s fourth album “Ahla Donia” was released in May 2004. It soon broke all sales record around the Middle East and this highly talented singer won the World Music Award for Best-selling Middle East Artist. Her evergreen “Bastanak” released in 2006 became viral in the Arab world.

Her popularity in this part of the world is undisputed. Elissa is gifted with one of the sweetest female voices and is being loved by all music lovers in the Arab world for her versatility in singing melodies as well as rock.

How does she like to be stoned? Buried up to waist or neck?

Actually Rihanna is from St. Michael, Barbados.
I drove by her childhood home in April when I was there.
A rather modest neighborhood.

I had to listen to Arab music for five years. Its entire range is eight notes. Mind you, there are umpteen 1/4 and 1/8 notes in between there but I found the music VERY repetitive and ultimately boring.

I stand corrected.

Maybe she’d like to marry old Ben and be naturalized!

That’s nothing.

The heavy metal scene in Iran is pretty mind-blowing.
