Miriam Fares vs. Rihanna or Shakira?


miriam fares in blue

After a few months away from the spotlights, Miriam Fares is back with another one of her unique dance-filled music videos!
Miriam shows off her dancing talent yet again in her new song 'Elli Bi Ye7sal' and the music video which is currently being aired on Melody.

Miriam collaborated with dance expert and choreographer Paulette Minotte, who has been a dance coach to stars like Rihanna and Mariah Carey.
Miriam is still on the path to achieving her goal of presenting a unique style in her music videos like that of Rihanna and Shakira, where dance is no less important than the lyrics or the tune!
Miriam wants to prove that she's just as good as those international stars and she's a worth competitor to Rihanna and Shakira.

Did you watch her new music video?
What did you think?
Is Miriam Fares as good as Rihanna or Shakira?

    oh yeah, I saw the clip on Melody. It was ok i guess, but she seems so desperate. I dont know if thats the right way to put it though.
    She is a great singer but not that "heart catching".
    I really like Mariam Fares but i dont think i would choose her over Rihanna.

    Hello All,


    I think that Myriam is not desperate as it has been mentionned above...I think That she want to prove that she is multi-talented as she is.
    I am not a big fan of her I must say but she knows how to make something look not cheap unless some other arabic singers.
    She just remember that her audience is middle eastern and some of teh moves she is doing are just a bit too much and the dressing code also...
    Well she is better in my opinion than shakira or Rihanna but there again my opinion

    Of course she’s way much better than Shakira or that Rehana, but Shakira have no brain, no voice, no talent, and I don’t know why they compare to Mariam like that?
    Shakira looking funky in the cage bird when she was dance in it, I thought she’s going to cry or something and I didn’t know she’s trying to dance like a cat woman. I feel a shame that she’s half Arab!!…..

    And Mariam new song, it was just marvelous and I feel like a new person born again.
    Reem and Elena,
    can we dance together with her cute song eli beyhasal we malo?
    I just cant stop listen to it, again and again

    Is this a joke?
    when Miryam sings live, i don't know how to describe it, but its not as good as her music videos and songs she sounds like she doesn't know Arabic :S

    Miryam doesn't have the vocal capabilities that Rihanna has. Not even in her videos.

    Don't get me wrong i still love Miryam.

    hala- rihanna vocal abilities? what vocal abilities? she cant sing to save her life. she is a product of Jay-z and nothing more. her voice makes my ears bleed, and she cant dance.
    she tries too hard to be all edgy, its annoying.
    the only good thing about her is that she is pretty and no one can deny that.

    shakira is not as good as she used to be back in her spanish only days. lets face it. she looks cheap. and she doesnt even invent her own dances, she has a choreographer.
    the only good thing about Shaki is that she helps out a lot of charities and poor people.

    myriam is better for sure. shes very unique compared to oher arab singers. very fresh and something different.

    michelle,
    you're absolutely right, i agree everything of what you said, Mariam has a fresh face and fresh dance, that's what am trying to tell those Syrian Cilia and Hala....

    Michelle, its good to have someone like you, who have a good grammar and have taste of music

    I dont like Rihanna very much. I liked her in the begining of her carrer, but now a days she has a strange style... But that doesnt mean she is not good in what she does as a singer. Shakira - She is well known all over the world + she sings great live and she dance wonderful. Myriam Fares is great also, but in Middle East. She has to learn very well english to be so famouse as the ones i meantioned. She is pretty, sexy, she sings well, but let's admit it, we cant compare her with Rihanna or Shakira... She is better than Rihanna, but not better than Shakira and that's for sure... Ahmed, you are the only shame for the Middle East and Arab world. How dare you to say those things about Shakira? She is so proud to say she is half Lebanese. Look at you! Hit yourself and call the ambulance to bring you to a doctor. You definatly need it! You are in urgent need for a special phycho clinic with many doctors...

    haha thanks ahmed.

    by the way everyone, not being internationally recognized does not mean she is not as good.
    miriam is international among all the arab countries. and she does a really good job, she isnt trashy or boring unlike rihanna who leaked nude pics of herself on the internet to get attention.

    Bianka,
    My grandmother never say that to me nor my little 3 year old nephew!!
    Just because you’re girl that doesn’t mean you have to trash me like that.
    As I say, Shakira never will be like Miriam!!

    Shakira is Shakira and has a wonderful career and still has more to come on her way, SHE IS SO SMAR THAT HAS AN IQ ALMOST AS A WISE, A SCIENTIFIC STUDIO REVELED ID, THE IQ OF SHAKIRA IS HUGHE, SPEAKS 5 LANGUAGES AND IS A GREAT TALENT AND HAS AN AMAIZING CAREER, STARTED WHEN SHE WAS 13, 17 YEARS OF SUCCESS AND THAT TRAJECTORY IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH BY ANY UNKNOWN NEW SINGER.

    If we are speaking about her dancing, we can never compare Miriam to anyone before she finds herself a choreographer. Her steps are way tooooooooooo lost and the looks are silly. It seems she figures out her steps on the spot and in front of the camera. As for the singing, no one can deny that Miriam has no voice at all besides she can not pronounce right Arabic. Many singers in the Arab world are just like Miriam in all that I have mentioned before but at least they have charisma the thhing that Miriam lacks as well.

    Those comments are totally nuts, I mean not by learning English she will achieve GOBAL STATUS like Shakira and sell over 60 million albums. Most artist who try to crossover are just failure, Shakira is one of the VERY FEW.

    What does Rihanna and Shakira have to do with Myriam Faris? nothing thats what!

    why does everyone always want to compare someone to someone else. everyone is different. Myriam has the best body and is the best dancer from all the female singers in the middle east!!!! None of them can compare to her.

    I liked this clip. A lot of bright colors, and its fun. It stands out from everyone elses clips.

    @ Ahmed,

    This is my opinion it doesnt mean that if u like the song i should like it too ... I think she has other much better songs but then again this is my opninion ..

    yes Miriam is the best in the middle east!!,
    and Shakira can go to her country, to teach Colombian dance, is better for her to dance not to sing cause no one wants to hear her!!.......

    cilia,
    yea that's you're opinion and i shouldn't take you're advice, too. you said to be nice with that girl hala, i dont think she want to be my friend, and i didnt see that coming from her, all i want to say to her after the class that "she need to apologize to me of what she done to me when i was in high school".
    Do you know what she did?
    she kick me on my stomach and i couldnt do anything, i was on the floor trying to communicate with her in syri accent, it came out only three words, ya way lattaa!!!
    she actually kick me more.

    are you happy now Cilia?!
    i know you well

    First of all, comparing Rihanna or Shakira to Myriam Fares is like comparing the pears, bread and chocolate. Doesn't go together! If any clip is bit more modern, and has something fresh on it, that doesn't mean its like Rihanna, Shakira, Beyonce or others... Another thing, 90% of singers nowdays DO NOT HAVE VOICE, so don't make conversations and discussions who does and who doesn't, music in 21st century is a business and then anything else. Rihanna is just a doll of Deff Jam, product to get money and publicy, while there're much better R&B stars like Amerie, Keri Hilson, etc who don't get their chance because they don't have Jay-Z behind their back. Commercial and good with sales doesn't mean good quality, dream to be commercial destroyed Mariah Carey, so today she has Pop songs with R&B background, before she used to be true R&B. Even that Leona Lewis, she has no voice, personality in it, she could sing in Factor X because she was preparing those interpretations for day, but on her songs, she sounds horrible, it is sad that one single song was selling whole her album, which after all is big trash, the new Factor X winner, Alexandra Bruke, is way better. Miriam herself, doesn't have big quality of songs, she's sweet, cute, modern and stylish, but she's not gonna be written in Arabic music history. She'll be interesting to one generation, that's it. Just like it was with many bands during 90s, Spice Girls, Shaft, Ten Sharp, En Vouge, Ace of Bace, M2M, anyone remembers them now, or knows them? No, except the people who were teenagers during 90s.

    the dancing is important and nice to add to the music.. but not if there is only 2 lines in the whole song.. the song had a nice melody and tune.. but she only says two sentences through out the whole thing...

    i think what she did in the clip is what a stripper does in a bar. i am really ashamed of our singers, they became a bad imitation of the american and european singers. miriam fares is a bad singer and a bad dancer. she and other singers like her should stay at home and stop singing.

    Cilia : 'To be Honest i didn't like this song at all neither the video cilp .. It wasn't really good .. I do love her bas seriously this was bad REALLY bad I mean to start with the close and to continue the the story of the clip ..

    Other clips of hers are much better'
