Shams Makes A Statement


Shams, like Nawal El Kuwaitia and Ahmed Daoud of Star Academy 4, is a Kuwaiti singer of Persian origin. Shams was previously barely known outside the Arabian Gulf, that is until commercials with a dancing George W. Bush and the folkloric Raya and Sakina started airing on Melody TV. It was an eye-opener of a commercial!

The last I had heard of Shams, before this commercial, was when Rotana terminated her contract, so I was a bit worried about her future. However, being the strong woman she is, she has re-emerged with an amazing new single, Ahlan Izayak? It has been a huge hit for Shams, obviously the video has really helped in launching this single. With hot topics like the Iraq war, the Bush administration, and plastic surgery mixed in with satirical humor. Shams boxes with Condoleezza Rice, “beautifies” a girl with her magic wand, and chases soldiers with a slipper! The video is definitely a winner, but also Shams’ song has a very catchy tune and very easy-to-memorize words! Watch Ahlan Izayak? on the Melody Channels or Mazzika/Zoom, this is one video clip you shouldn’t miss!

    Of course Ahmad is persian.
    A shiite persian.
    Ahmad Hussein Ali Daoud. His brother is Ali.
    His face and looks have nothing to do with typical khaligees.
    Look at him and Abdel Aziz. No way they can come from the same country.
    A neighbor of mine who worked for few years in Kuwait, the moment he saw Ahmad he said "He is Farsi!"
    I knew he was too good-looking to be a Khaleeji :)

    no one said Ahmad was not khaleegi, of course he is.
    He was just saying his origin is iran.
    no one is saying anything bad so there is no need to be rude

    my bad i. didn't realise u said he was too good looking to be khaleegi

    whats wrong with khaleegis they are beautiful people, with great styles

    moonie
  1. lebchris | February 15, 2007 10:19 PM

    When I say Khaligee, I intend ethnic Arab Khaligee. Ahmad does not have one ounce arab features in him.
    Khaligees beautiful? LOL
    How come we never saw handsome and beautiful khaligee people?
    You guys are rich, generous, maybe kind but by no means beautiful!
    Look at abdel aziz, ayoub, ali, khalifa for god;s sake, shrooq, nabil sheail, jawad el ali.
    Good lord!

  1. moonie | February 15, 2007 10:24 PM

    When u go to khaleeg then talk about whether they are good looking or not

    don't make silly judgements
    i am not khaleegi but i have found a lot of them very attractive

    and ahmad is not my type he is too white

    i liked tanned guys

    its true, some arabs are originally of persian decent. for instance a large percentage of iraqis, are originally persian, im one myself, although im only half iraqi (the other half english). so its not a surprise if ahmad has some non-khaleeji blood in him, since its quite common.

    OKay Ahmad maybe persian by origin but he was born raised in kuwait that makes him one of the kuwaities despite his originnn... Second LebChris u have never been to the gulf so dont write nonsense when u visit the gulf u will know exactly the meaning of beauty realll beauty no plastic surgury no fake eye colour hair colour, no barbie dolls walking in the streets , in the gulf u see trueee and real beauty the girlsss are amazingly prettyy and the guys are tooooo khaligees are beautiful not only in shape and features but in heart, they have style and charismaa. and u might have never seenn them cuz u never looked u only saw the plastic ppl that walk around in lebanon or any other country.. U find truee and pure beauty on in the Khaleggee and yeah dont talk bad about khalegees because they were the ones who made jospeh attiaa win last year in star academy 3. and yeah whts wrong with abdel aziz, ayoub , ali and all the names u listedd do u have the pure coming from the heart smile that ali has i dont think so?? abdel aziz being 17 years old he was a man be ma3na el kalema, ayoub too kind hearted and descent, and shrooq they are descent and they respect themselves they dont make fools like some other ppl do... please look around before u comment on ppl see the inside not the outsidee

    Guys,
    U r really all getting me on my nerves i dont repect lebchris in anythin so this isnt somethin new about her .
    I was born in saudi arabia and i lived more than 15 years there . First , i thought that the most beautiful girls in z middle east are in lebanon & egypt. Yet, after this guys the khalijee women are z most beautiful maybe sometimes most of them are overeight but it suits them i mean they look nicer . The khalijee men they'rnt all beautiful but they still have this arabian look whom everybody loves. LEB CHRIS in lebanon only gurlz are beautiful men only 40% or something are beautiful .
    Stop insultin eachother
    This topic is about shams not ahmed stop interfering ahmed in everything omg about shams ,
    I REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY Loved her song it's her first egyptian song and people in egypt started knowin her and also diana karazoun when she sang ah b mazagy people in egypt started likin her ..
    GOOO ARABS..

    lebchris, just like the Lebanese can be of Syrian, Palestinian, Greek, and Armenian origin, Khalijis are too. Shorouq is originally African, not Arab, most Khaliji girls do not look like her. I, like many, many Khalijis Sunni and Shiite am a Khaliji of Persian origin. Khalijis can be Arabian, Iraqi, Turkish, Iranian, Syrian, Palestinian, so it is really unlikely you even have an idea what Khalijis look like.

  1. lebchris | February 16, 2007 8:57 AM

    Wow, natural beauty.
    Then how do you explain the huge masses of Khaligee women coming to Lebanon to have plastic surgeries?
    How do you explain that your artists and actresses wear coloured contact lenses?
    In fact the most people I saw to wear contact lenses where the khaligees, especially the Kuwaitis.
    You don't even know how to put decent makeup.
    Your women look like they just got out of a freak show.
    I have met Khaligees in person, saw them on TV, saw them in soap operas and I affirm they are scary.
    Then again, beauty is relative.
    Lebanon and Khalige have different tastes, different culture, different landscapes... different in everythinhg.
    Maybe what is beautiful to you, is ugly to us and viceversa.
