So I'm sitting here feeding the baby and BY ACCIDENT the television is playing some music videos, believe me I do NOT listen to this crap if I don't have to. I'm listening and the women singing seem like they are TRYING SO HARD to sing like little cutsey girls and it makes me want to vomit. Has anyone else noticed them singing like this, do they think it's cute and/or do Arabs like to hear women acting like little kids? I just don't get it. BTW, I perhaps should have put this in the movies/music section but it is an Egyptian Experience like no other so I thought best to post here.

Oh just change the channel, Smucks! Don't be bothered!
BTW, did you already start feeding solid food to your girl?

It’s worldwide and not limited to Egypt. Women acting like Lolita’s and whatever are on television from the US to Japan. There is a market for Lolita fashion – you see it in music videos all the time – also in movies – most of those actresses in pony tails and catholic school skirts are not teenagers at all, they are adults. The thing now in the West is that teens are being marketed hence the real deal and so grown women acting like little girls is fading away. I’m sure the Arabs will catch up one day. Personally I think it’s sickening and when I see women like this - it just sticks out that they are weird looking and it’s simply visually gross. But admittedly some women get away with it Soooo if some of you ladies look good in a short catholic/private school skirt and ponytail ... good for you Posts: 2079 | From: 'by any means necessary' - Malcom X | Registered: Mar 2007

No, I was in the other room feeding her so I wasn't near the remote, I was being tortured with the "music". I agree there is a resounding exploitation of women (always has been) but it has taken a turn to have them look like little girls, it's sickening. My point with these singers is the way they SOUND...I even hear it here in Egypt. Has anyone heard many of the womens voices here in public? It's such a high pitch squeak I think it will break glass, but once they're at home they let out their boisterious yelps. Posts: 13440 | Registered: Feb 2006

You know how they try to act so over-sexy and cutsie cutsie, they push their shoulders up and lower their heads while peering out of the corner of their eyes, like they are sooooo shy as their boobages are falling out of their corsets. Haifa comes to mind specifically but many others I see do it...it's odd to me, but I'm not used to it I guess so perhaps I see it in a differnet light. ?

You see it in the right light . It is outrageous.
It is comparable actually to all the women that do their little scenario in ads on TV in other countries, where a telephone number pops up on the screen while their clothes kind of pop off - if you catch my drift. Same effect.

I tried to imitate it as I was talking about this the other day to hubby and there was no way I could reach that pitch
Jean and I were discussing it too and were wondering why in her lounge the whole street could hear our husbands talking! It was like listening to 2 megaphones!
I felt like Whoopie on the 'View' !

ya the music in the mid east has definetly changed...i prefer to stick with the classics up to the early 90's...everything else after that is pretty much commercialized...cutting up their faces and singing like minnie mouse to make Rotana some good $$$$$$. I wish they would knock it off. I hate american music and I only stick with arabic...im dating a singer from palestine and he says that if the singers cant sing the classics, then they wont be famous. i refuse to dance to the new stuff. there are some good ones though. here is my most favorite: joseph attieh who won Star academy 3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opdAXMHMjgAPosts: 2757 | From: YOU CAN ONLY SEE WHAT I CHOOSE TO SHOW, THERE IS SO MUCH MORE YOU JUST DONT KNOW | Registered: Oct 2007
