Haifa Wahby in her new video clip Alwawa

There has been a lot of controversy about the "wawa" songs by Haifa Wahby and Dominique. A lot of Arab parents everywhere are trying to keep the songs from selling and to prove that the songs are not meant to be for kids. The parents say that Haifa Wahby's lyrics are explicit because she is singing about sex. Haifa songs lyrics such as "bous el wawa" (kiss the wawa) are not meant for a little child. "The term wawa is used for kids in the country of Lebanon, it’s not meant to be kissed" said one of the angry patents. The song is meant for adults and whoever thinks that it’s for kids then they are lying to themselves.

What do you think? Is the "wawa" song indeed for grownups?

It's sadly true. Haifa is in another disgusting song. She just ruined her popularity. Honestly, I think she's too much. I mean, she could have been really popular, because she has the voice. But she sings the wrong songs to show off that voice. I think Nancy Ajram is way better. You don't see her singing nasty songs and in nasty video clips.

OK, and what is the problem if it is meant for big kids(men), not little kids?. I think those big kids watch enough porn, and go on enough porn sites not to be corrupted by the so called hidden meaning of a song.
What silly parents? their kids will not understand the meaning unless they actually sit down and explain the so called explicit song. Also, yes we do say even in english"bous elwawa", I think we have all heard"let me kiss it better for you". I think they should worry about the 80% porn content of the internet that their little kiddies go on.
It is not like Haifa suddenly took off her maidenly outfit, and decided to go wild. She is a show girl not an Opera Singer.
Before I would have said that she should respect her Arab Audience, but obviously that Audience loves her because of what she is, I mean 200 thousand fans in Oman to watch her concert!!!! She is giving what the people want, and do not try and say that the TV stations keep promoting her. I mean the woman has more fans than the Lady Magida ElRoumy, and for that I say TFEE.

ermmm i dont understand whats rude about it? Maybe im too naive but i will give my comment that songs these days have no meaning..bous il wawa what the hell is that go to do with singing and having feelings when u sing..where are words like mayada il hinawee and mageda il roumi and others singers with decent words and meanings!WHAT A BIG SHAME!

Excellent comment!!!
Especially this part because it's so true: "Before I would have said that she should respect her Arab Audience, but obviously that Audience loves her because of what she is.....She is giving what the people want."

Haifa is what everyone wants in their conscious or unconscious spirits, be it men or women!

actually i havent heard the song yet! lol .. but yeh S.M.S LEBANESE you nailed it (for others on this site that means: you're absolutly right!) ... haifa is giving what the audience wants .. we've just hit an all time low standard i guess .. now im not hating on her or anything so haifa fans chill .. but the fact that she's more popular than other more able singers well thats kinda worrying ... oh well ..

i like this song.. and even her meaning with the text associates to sex, well - then i'd like everyone of you to go listen ANY of om kalthoum's songs, and listen to the text.. or any other singer..

mmmmmm... sexual meaning? pleaseee it's just a meaningless pop song with a nice beat.. i happen to like it and i like dancing to it...

and by the way when little children are hurt, parents accually say "bous el wawa", it is very common and not sexual at all...

i don't get it why you have to pick on everything, just sit back and enjoy the show, and if you're annoyed... well then change your channel...

oh by the way, i bet all of you who critisize hayfa secretly listen to her and enjoy her music and dance to it, but you just won't admit it!!!

she is trying to copy jodie marsh and katie price. shes just the arabic version. all her songs are tafha and have no meaning whatsoever but i guess these days all arabs are trying to copy and follow the westerners which really makes me ashamed that i am an arab. i mean, listen to the words and look at the video and look at what things she wears!

Listen people and listen carefully. Im a man of few but meaningful words.

Those people that think this song is related to sex have a dirty mind and shouldnt be thinking of that in the first place.

Good luck to Haifa...a great singer we all like her.

guys, come on stop fighting please and use your mind for a second?
Whether she is beautiful or not, that is not the issue. There are many other girls who are extremly pretty. But, should every pretty woman sing? that is the issue. I don't like haifa for what she presented. If haifa happens to sing well using her feelings like the great singers such as Asala, Najwa, I would love her. But, she is not. She has no voice at all, her songs are empty, got stupid music and no feelings. And when she talks, she is so arrogant as she tries to make us believe that what she presented is ART. She thinks she is smarter than us. I am sorry for you guys. She is a low singer for audience that got no taste for art and no feeling. I feel very sad to read your sympathy with such a low girl. For the guy who said she got an audience, I would like add ' just for her body' especially most arab men are sexually oppressed and are hungry for naked bodies. But, what does all this have to do with Art. Please, think about it twice. Instead of spending your time and money on taking your spirit down to the ID animal part. Go back to our Sublime arab music such as Oumkeltoum , abdel halim, fairouz, majda, kathem, asala, najwa karam. When you listen to the songs of those singers, you will know what a true music is like and you will feel no enjoyment in listening to low songs, any low song, haifa or rubi or any other low singer

To be honest with you, i am neither surprised nor shocked. IT is just Haifa. It is Not Asala, or Kathem. Just a fake beauty with no feelings that push her to pick meaningful words or touching music. She has always been like that since she started. Yani kanat betghani kasaid we el an ghannat Wawa. She is HAifa like her name and her songs are haifa. If you chose to be her fan, that is because you are haifa or haif like her.
You got to face it guys. Sorry!

7 May, 2:54PM

For those of you who think Haifa is a beauty, go to the magazine of Zahrat el Khalig and read what her sister said about her. Nobody can know her better her sister. HAifa used to beat her sister and insult her. she always forbid her family from listening to Nancy, elissa, or rula saad. See how resentful she is. That is bauty????? Don't judge a book by its cover!!

leila
7 May, 6:33PM

to khalil,

will u said it don't judge a book by it's cover, how showed we know the truth maybe her sister is lying. Did you know that she is a jounalist, mabye she doing and saying all of these things to make it big as a writer. her other sister lovers her and says that her sister rola is saying all these things about haifa because she's jalouse and wants to be a great jounalist. So you could says we don't know the truth about any of it. I don't think that she is that bad their are even worse like ruby, dana, dominque, and the other crapy preformers that think that are singers but their voices sucks and i cannot believe that people listen to them.

i think she has no voice for singing she cann`t dance even she should play in porn movies i`m sure it will work i think with less make up she looks better and i get suprise when her fans say she is so beautifull i think her look is just ok but her body is too big and to be honest her voice is horrible i think she just want to feel that she is superstar but she is not she is all fake her breast is disgusting but she is so confident i don`t know how she can wear sexy clothes with that shit body

i dont understand all of yous i love haifa shes beautiful and shes nice and shes never in denial. yes she may seen like a bimbo but i rather have her then a snobby singer who thinks there the best when there not. wawa means a sor a cut something that hurts its called wawa because its for kids. there is nuthing in the song making it about sex if u dont like her Fine leave her alone enough with this.

This is actually funny, because I live in Montreal, Canada, and I'm Lebanese.. The other day I was at this arab cafee with my boyfriend and I saw Haifa's Bouss El Wawa.. I got admit that since I don't speak very well Arabic, and did not know what wawa means, I thought it had a dirty connotation lol... however, someone has explained to me that wawa means a 'wound' or something like that.. but you have to admit that kiss the wawa sounds a bit sexual lol

That song isn't about sexuality. Look at how she's singing. It's playful. It's not sexy. It's a good song, and I love the video. Haifa is the best. <3
