An official request by the Egyptian Parliament has been released demanding the ban of Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram’s songs. The Parliament has ordered that all satellite and local TV stations stop the airing of Nancy’s songs, especially “Akhasmak Aah” (I’ll Upset You Yes), due to the nature of its content and the manner in which the music video is shot.
According to the Qatar based daily, Al Raya, it was stated that these kinds of songs are not suitable for an Arab audience and should not be allowed to be broadcasted. The music video for the song “Akhasmak Aah” is too demeaning and does not respect the traditional Eastern values for the fact that it is filmed inside a bar and the singer undergoes dirty dancing in an attempt to seduce the male customers.
Parliament officials said that Nancy shows no form of respect for the viewers when she displays such work. It was mentioned that all necessary actions will be taken to ensure that Nancy’s music is not aired and anyone who does not abide will be faced with legal prosecution.
After the success of her hit single "Akhasmak Aah", the Lebanese singer is in turmoil trying to choose one of three scenarios presented to her for an upcoming video clip she is to shoot in the next few days. The singer wants to make sure that she makes the wise choice that will in turn add to the popularity she has gained in such a short time.
Each scenario Nancy is presented with is by different directors either from Egypt or Lebanon. The singer has either previously collaborated with the directors or has always dreamed of working with them, making her decision quite a difficult one. The three directors are Ahmad Al Mahdy, Nadine Labki, and Said Al Marouk, each very well-known in the music industry.
Nancy is careful to make sure that the idea she chooses for her next clip is different from the ones for "Akhsmak Aah" and "Ya Salam", as to not be repeating herself in front of her audience and fans. The singer must make her decision in the nearest time possible in order to begin work on the video.
The singer recently released a second hit single "Ya Salam" (Oh My) in the form of a music video, which is also from her latest album. The style Nancy attributed in the clip was a fifties look and style in which she appeared looking liking the superstars of those time, specifically like the American legend Marilyn Monroe. A special stage had been decorated and prepared for the song that gave viewers flashback to the fifties. In the clip Nancy played the role of a performer whose artistic performance will remind people of the stars of Hollywood especially Monroe. –Albawaba.com
