What would Elissa say about her self? Would she say she's a diva? A simple, Lebanese gal? One of the top singers in the Arab world today?
Well, Elissa has described herself as an Eastern woman in more ways than one.
Here's an anecdote of what Elissa said about herself in her own words:
"I am not that kind of woman who rebels to escape from tradition, on the contrary, I respect the way I was raised and the traditions I belong to.
Although I am committed to my career and am very independent, I still think like a typical Arab woman and I respect family life and would love to marry a strong man with a very strong personality."
Elissa continues to say: "We as Lebanese woman, have been exposed and effected by the West, especially in our fashion and way of life, but we remain Eastern women in our mentality."
What do you think of Elissa statement?
Do you agree? ... or maybe disagree?
And what is the Eastern mentality? The entire society is sick. they value themselves & others by outward appearance & finances, not what is in the heart. They are full of jealousy & very judgemental. I have encoutered many Lebanese & the result is always the same. They are full of lies & contradictions & deceit. they smile in your face & talk about you the minute you leave. I have seen it happen over & over, even within families. There are a handful of decent Lebanese. i hate to say it but it is true.
that "many" that you have encountered with is still not enough to make such a judgment about the Lebanese society... there are millions of Lebanese people who you yet haven't seen or talked to....
who's being judgmental now?
brittney
I agree with you she lying, I dont believe in Lebanese singers they are only fake if there was a singer front Syria Egypt Tunisia or another Arab singer, I believed in her
let her talk thats her statement!!
lebonan and syria are actually part of european. a rumour said that their not arab cause they look different and which i meant in a good way.
Mariam,
barakeley cause i remove my braces last week!!
but i accidently did something bad.
i start thinking i dont know how they spoke arabic??
escuse me MAAM!!
of course they love me including American girls but when it come for asking me where am i from? i just told them that am from Pakistan cause their not in the mood of arabic people sometimes, aghh american!.
so am a real arabic unlike you maam!!
well i'm not a big fan of elissa but i like her look and appearence .i dont see her like the typical arab women.she is free doing what ever she wants having plastic surgeries wering sexy dresses and as far as i know that the arab women is shy kind respectuful loyal and she marry at a young age'17-25' and elissa is 37. so i don't know may be the definition of the eastern women had change. who know?
I dont really like Elissa as a person,but i absolutely love her songs , she has a passion for singing and her voice is beautiful and i do think she is one of teh best singers in the Arab world.
do you realize that ya khaloud, you have too much hate inside towards my elisa, really you need to calm down!!
just take calcium to calm you down.
when you ready to throw me in the mountain be easy on me okay.!
mabrouk ya ahmed :) ....what did you do bad?..lol
people can say that arab singers are bad or whatever but don't judge the entire Lebanese society just based on what you see on TV.
Mariam do lebonan and syria have a different accent?
Cause when i saw elissa talk on TV i see her accent the same as Syrian when they talk.
Mariam I did a horribly mistake in the dentist!!
When I went there to remove my braces i waited inside for the doctor to come. i started to play the doctor’s equipment and the laughing gas machine. I didn’t notice how much I been using the gas. without realizing i don’t know what happen to me after I woke up so my friend took me home and he didn’t tell me anything. When I came home I went to see myself in the mirror how it looks so I open my mouth n it was great!! but I saw one tooth is gone on the back left side. After I realize my friend told me that i been laughing alot and I made too much movement, so that’s why the doctor couldn’t be careful to take out the braces slowly from my behavior.
I guess I learn my lesson not to play the equipment again. is still hurt….am not sure if the doctor throw my tooth away, :(.
ahahhaahha..ahmed i hope that your joking? :/
..silly of you to play with the dentist equipment ...reminded me of Mr bean..poor tooth.well at least its from the back, it isn't visible...or....
i have never heard of a laughing gas machine..what's it supposed to do?.
nooo lebanese and syrian have different accent..you can easily tell whether someones Syrian or Lebanese by their accent
like laughing gas machine in a dentist
? lool
you know i cannot tell bain lebonan and syria accent i see them is the same thing.
mariam,
how can you said that?
i cant even eat lahm again!! so it is imporant to have in the back too.
about the machine you right am not sure what it was that machine i use...i thought it makes the person dizzy and not feel any pain..... i wonder what the doctor exactly do the patient with that machine?? cause i really lost my mind!!.
Mariam How many teeth does a full human have?
i count it and they are 29 teeth.
poor Ahmed, lol u dont laugh with your teeth?!!..what u mean i can't laugh no more...
.. :0 all adults have 32 teeth...your missing 3 teeth...unless you took your wisdom teeth out..loool.....
hm what got us talking about teeth...
about elissa, i only like one of her songs, its an old one, but i forgot the name...
omg!!
he took three of them.
Ahmed, Elissa's mother is Syrian so she speaks a mix of syrian & lebanese...theres alot of ppl that r a mix of syrian & lebanese and speak like elissa...
but other than that it's really easy to identify a syrian from a lebanese
Oh Please stop argued with all of this :(
In the Truth Lebanese are Eastern
By their ethnic language and culture
You ll look fool if you come to another countries and you say lebanese are western
and Elissa Said the truth
Lebanese are a part of Arab
I really Love her
God Bless Elissa and All of you
poor ahmed :(, dont worry u can sue him and cash in $$$
God bless you too Joseph and all
there's n singers better than the Lebanees singeres in the arabic countries like Najwa Karam,Wael Kfoury,Nancy 3ajram,Fares Karam,Nawal el Zoughbi , Elissa,Massari...
(((((((((((( and the national basketball team of Lebanon is stronger arabic country and stronger maybe not only in arabic counties but is stron in all lollllllll ))))))))))))))
I agree with u lebnani
Lebanese better by themself not by money
lol
but Arab is the best in the world(Include to Lebanese )
we proud ourself
amr diab is the best and he is not lebanese and to joseph, your name doesn't sound arab to me so it is better not to say ourselfs with that name
Dear shosho kiki I agree with u about Amr Diab But many LEbanese and Egyptian use the same name huh dont make problem coz of my name ok?
all i said in a good way about lebonan so dont come here and calling us a fool cause you look fool to me and you're not a real arabic dude!!!
umm to tell u that name it is a western name of yours if you dont notice.....so i advice you go learn something and not to play doctor's equipment!!
Hey Ahmed When was I called u fool?
I feel sorry to you that I am Arab
So its not my real name lol
and Joseph attieh isnt arab?
Hey brother You should open your mind
ok?
ohhh puh effin leez with all the lebanese bashing, brittany what u described darling happens in every culture around the world because thats the way the devil plays with humans, so stop being naieve and get off ur high horse because ill guarantee that u sweetie have backstabbed someone else within the last week along with everyone else on this forum. why do u think god goes to great lengths in his holy books to warn humans of this sin. ALSO money is at the heart of everyone existence these days unless of course you are the next mother teresa oops i meant mother brittany.as a lebanese person all i have to say to all those who are obsessed with taking any cheap shot at lebanon and its people is take a history lesson or do a google search before u open ur gobs. WARNING: JEALOUSY KILLS!
She's sacrificed her chance of marriage and having children for her career not very traditional. There is nothing bad about that but please do not pretend to be something you are not.
Joseph don't lsn to them your pure Arab :)
All I know and going to say, that no one should judge someone by the way he/she dresses or look..That is her job , if she wears dresses or the fact that shes a famous singer doesnt mean shes not ARAB ..
And about the marriage thing. I think it's HER BUSINESS whether she wants to get married or not and she still can be called ARAB ! I mean I think shes thinking wisely .It's not fair to start family now if shes not going to be able to be there for them .So please let HER decide when is the right time for her to get married !
dear pretty Rinad
I am pure Arab
and I agree with ur comment
yeah you can definitely tell a Syrian from a Lebanese. Syrian are NATURAL and Lebanese are PLASTIC.
loooool at tania, sorri but i just find it sooo funny ;P
I'm trying to find Elissa's page on facebook the one that contains 150.000 fans but I can't find it anymore. Somone has probably stolen the group/page and shut it down!! envy of course...her fans are the biggest among the Arab singers on FB.( 150.000 in one group only...)
i agree tania im not libanese or syrian but syrian girl have natural beauty and libanese just plastic surgery i want to see how they look without surgery omg horrible
Hey Fatima, seems Ahmed has trigged a hot point? I see ur yelling like crazy! Ahmed is the one who is flavoring this site, he is natural, funny and helarious sometimes. And he helps readers distinguish who are the calm confident commentors...and who are the histerical ones! Ahmed did not insult you but u chose to insult him!
Love you Ahmed...mouaaaaaahhhhhh!
haha envy all hate him !!! what are you talking about and why do you not marry him loooooool
nooo,not all hate him....for your info i don't hate him,cuase i love him !
i love Elissa too,she is a real eastern woman
Look at you arguing about who has a natural beauty!! Tania and Fatme aren't we all arabs!! now your calling eachothers by our countries name!! Actually thats exactly what israel has been working on long time ago , and guess what israel won ..shame on you guys really this page is for giving your opinion about Elissa and to make fun of eachothers!
Not to make fun of eachothers****
Tania, Fatme, your both 100% right.
to rinad i dont hate any arabic country but i said the true and libanese people think they are beatifulst in the world but that its not true because all is plastic surgery
I am so much in love with Ahmed dear, he is the only reason why I read waleg. blow up men AHRIK!!! ya MA2HOUUUUURAAAA!!!! haha
to fatme, not Lebanese are saying but ur women and men are saying Lebanese r most beautiful. Why fighting? let's bring official report of plastic surgeries in Arabic coutries and lets see!!!! Not only Lebanese women are the most beautiful since ever but Arab women and men of ALL Arab countires come to Lebanon for plastic surgeries.
About Europe statistics, Italians and Brasilians are the queens of plastic surgeries ya james dean enta. there has been official statistics u know.
umm I think we should stop argue abt this
Arab are Unity
and its enough
and who got plastic surgury ?
that s not our business LOl
:D
I Love You Elissa

The commentor entitles ENVY who said "I like Elissa too she is real eastern woman" is not me. I did not write this. I am no ones fan
