Egyptian singer Ameerah Fathi is facing
crucial criticism after releasing her first music video for the song “Uqal Kul
Al Banat” (Wishing it for all girls). Numerous internet websites and forums
have launched sharp criticism against Ameera accusing her of insulting women in
Egypt.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Many criticized
the provocative clothes worn in the clip, along with the sexual
implications made. Others accused Ameera of insulting Egyptian women by suggesting that
they run after a man until he proposes to them. It was added that the
idea of the clip has nothing to do with the words of the song or the wardrobe
worn by Ameerah and actors, in addition to the continuous dancing that was also
inappropriate.
On her part,
Ameerah defended
the clip
stressing that she had received
numerous positive feedback from the public.
She added that
the clip
witnessed a very
high
rate of
views on
the internet website (YouTube).
Ameerah described the cloths she wore as normal and suitable
for the idea of the clip that reflects the joy of
a girl
when
the one she
loves asks
her hand in marriage. She noted that the
movements
in the clip
are innocent
flirtations and not provocative and sexual.
The clip
was to be
launched
six months ago, but was postponed due to
the outbreak of
revolution in
Egypt. The song is written by Mohammad Jum’a, musically distributed by Tamim,
composed by Mohammad Rahim, directed by Mohammad Sami and produced by Wael Hab,
Ameerah’s ex-husband.
