What Carole Samaha Really Thinks of Elissa
I guess there's real rivalry ... or is it jealousy! among Lebanese singers and they're not "hush hush" when it comes to their opinion of each other's songs and albums!
Carole Samaha gave a bold opinion on Elissa’s new album “Tisadaa Bi Min” saying that Elissa sings unrealistic fairy tales that concentrate only a happiness. Carole continued to say that Elissa only sings about romance and dreamy love stories, where the lovers go through problems and then the story ends as usual, with a surprising happy ending.
On the other hand, when Carole was asked what kind of songs she sings, she explained that her songs are very realistic, they talk about strength, challenge and a woman’s ego even at vulnerable times. She also sings about romance but a more believable romance.
In her turn, Elissa refused to comment on Carole’s opinion, saying that she will not talk about her colleague's work or even try to hurt her own career because most of the singer’s opinions don’t come from a professional state of mind, they only come from jealousy!
I guess Carole is just angry that her new album didn’t reach the top 1 spot in sales!
What do you think? Do you agree with Carole's opinion? Or is she off track?

@ Sami
I agree....
except I agree with Carole when she says that Elissa's songs are all the same story...they're great songs and it's not like they're the same lyrics though.
Carole is right about her style too, her song "Ma Bkhaf" is the ultimate girl power song. Hahaha

HELL NO!! masdouma and min ghir mounasba .... these songs are not happy songs and yet they are amzing, SHUT UP CAROLE!!

in tisada2 bemeen album, out of 13 songs, 6 songs: 3eecha wessalam, amri la rabi, fi chi nkasar, eftakart, masdouma, min gher monasba, had sad lyrics and melodies, and other 2: salemli 3ley and law fiyi, are about two separated lovers. the other 5: 3abali, tesada2, ma3ach wala kan, ma te3rafchi leh, w byestehi, are "happy love stories", so yes carole SHUT UP :)

I keep things real. I agree with Carole Samah for sure. This doesn't happen often but its true. Elissa sings the same style of romantic songs..nothing new or creative. She lacks personality. Elissa doesn't sing about pain, hurt, and strength love can endure. Step it up Elissa..its a bit naive to sing about a fairy tale everytime. its getting boring
-
i agree with the fact that elissa's last album is very borring, all the songs sound the same as if the album contains only one song. i was disappointed, i usually enjoy listening some of her songs but this time, i found it just uninteresting.
-
If I had to choose between elissa or Carole album I would pick Carole anyday. elissa's songs r too boring for me....though I like couple but I rather listen to Carole.
-
i agree with carole!! her album is wayyyy better than elissa. elissa never changes her type of song and her voice is so static...carole on the other hand can sing all sorts of songs!!
bahebik ya carole ya helwi

Waleg, lets first see if this story is even true. Why cant you guys get something on video so we can believe some of the stories you guys publish on this website instead of adding more gallons of fuel onto the fire?
-
it is just a jealousy !!! hhh what about "masdoma or mn gher monasba or khod balak" etc ......hhhh carole dear hh this is Elissa`s age
-
If it is true, i'm Definitely with Carole..
Elissa's songs are all the same, and Carole's album 7doudi el sama this year was Really the best among all new releases. so Elissa honey, Get Over It!
-
dear please listen to the album before u judge.
3eecha wil salam: a song about pain
masdouma: her boyfriend keeps trashing her
min gheir munasba: her lover hits her!
amri la rabi: she feels broken and wants god to stay with her.
fi chi nkasar: about a couple that is just bored and cant move on!
iftakart: also about pain and about getting over the ex boyfriend.
SO PLEASE think before you type!

I love both signers, BUT no its not jealousy!! ITS CALLED OPINION! she has the right to post her opinion! or not cuz she a singer in the same business she cant post her freakinn opinion!! GEEZ. give her a break!
-
Both of them are great singers but Carole has more range; she can sing, dance and act while Elissa sings only. She's not jealous, she's just stating her opinion and knows how to judge her colleagues in the entertainment business. I love Carole.
-
CAROLE OWNSSSSSSS !!!!!! Shes got an amazing voice! Elissa has a weakkkk voice. plus Carole's album is amazing.... 5aleek b7alak owns every song elissa has on her album!! and she is stating her opinion nothing wrong with that, just like we are all stating our opinions and comments about this article!
-
I have to say, Carole has a point. And no, it's not a real 'stab' at Elissa, more of a critique. I wish the 'Lebanese divas fight it out' thing would stop. It's just a comment, not an 'Elissa sux' rant.
As for who's better...Carole, any day. Her albums are consistent and varied. Elissa, on the other hand....what happened? Her early stuff was simplly amazing...but starting from Bastanak, she descended into this generic, pop-ballad rut that she can't get out of. Her last three albums have been identical. Ever since she stopped working with JMR I feel that she's lost it. I love Elissa, I like her voice (manufactured or not) and I can never get enough of her pre-2005 work.
Even Haifa Wehbe, dismissed as being 'talentless', is original, creative and if you listen to her albums without the usual 'Haifa is a no-good s***', you'll get that.
Really hope that Elissa turns it around next time-but chances are unlikely.
I can put up with a bad voice, a bad video, bad writing, bad anything....but mediocrity and blandness for 3 entire albums? No thank you.

OMG...EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN THIS PAGE WITH HIS/HER OWN OPINION IS RIGHT....I LOVE BOTH SINGERS AND BOTH ROCK... BUT PLZ IF ANYBODY HAS A BAD COMPLAIN ABOUT ANY SINGER KEEP IT 2 URSELVES....
-
