Lebanese Musicians

Beirut is one of the major capitals of Arabic music along with Cairo and Dubai.  Lebanese artists are some of the most famous and well known in the Arab world.  In a way, Lebanese music is less Arab in general and has a tendency to turn out many "bubblegum pop" stars.  Of course we have all heard that Lebanese women some of the most beautiful women on earth even though they have a reputation for frequently going under the knife.  Plastic surgery aside, Lebanese artists are some of the most Carole Samaha
innovative and groundbreaking artists in the Middle East.  It also helps that Lebanon is called "The Paris of the Middle East" and the glamour of its stars helps the country to live up to this image. For instance, look at Nancy Ajram, who in my opinion, is the face of the young Lebanese generation.  She is gorgeous and has one of those voices that sounds good on any style of song. One of her best songs is "Fi Higat"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h57S5Bxmcb4  She could be called the Britney Spears of the region.  She is" Lebanon's Sweetheart" and will always be relevant. Nancy Ajram
 There is also Myriam Fares, "The Queen of the Stage."  She pushes the envelope just enough and is a great dancer and singer.  She has reinvented herself many times during her career and has become a triple threat.  She is well suited for the Khaleeji songs she has been doing lately.  Her best videoclip is "Al Gasayed" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAbd1WIel74 Of course, I can not forget Haifa Wehbe.  She is a very controversial figure but I must say that I do respect her.  She is a Myriam Fares
businesswoman after all and has made a fortune from her image and persona.  She also has some enjoyable and catchy songs like "Enta Tani." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW4h9zpAIgc  Some other singers who are not as famous but are equally and even more talented are Adam and Carole Samaha.  Adam is nice to look at :) and putsHaifa Wehbe
 so much emotion and romance in his songs.  My personal favorite is "Kol Wahed"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz3uAdmrUvE  Carole Samaha is just an all around powerful singer.She showcases all her range on "Khallik Behalak"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kncb3G41UQM  You can tell that she puts most of her effort into making good music.Adam
