To celebrate their fifth anniversary, the Arabic edition of Newsweek published a special issue with an exclusive cover story on the 43 most influential persons in the Arab World. The first name on the list was Nancy Ajram, the hot Lebanese singer. “It is not only about her music, which tempts everyone to dance, but it is also about the message behind her videos: sexuality and humanity, seduction and equality,” the magazine wrote. Well, I can’t think of Ajram as one of the most influential people in this part of the world. The previously mentioned video has assisted her to become a star because it was controversial. The magazine did not say that Ajram was singing since she was 12-year-old, and she had several plastic surgeries before releasing the “Akhasmak Ah” video. Nancy Ajram is a cute girl, but she is difintely not the most talented. I bet that without the controversy and plastic surgeries, Ajram would be just another so-so singer.

hi,
I so agree with you about Nancy being not so talented, and it is because of the controversial stuff that she came into the limelight. But I also think that in places like the music and film industry, these people do all they can to make money and capture fame, and so Nancy tried every trick in the book to be popular, and it seems to have worked. I think influential doesn’t necessarily mean that what they are doing is right or talented, it simply means that what they are doing is having an influence on other people, especially the young people! One can also create bad influence, so influence could be both good and bad! I have to admit though, I like some of her songs, even though she is not as talented as some of the other singers. :-)
