Pictures: Ramy Ayach Finance Dalia Said

Pop star Ramy Ayach is settling down with a young woman, they have both gotten engaged in a small and private event. The young woman has accompanied the pop star to an even tin Beirut and no one guessed she would be the one Ramy Ayach gets engaged to. Well congratulation Mr. Fresh Lebanese pop and slick style

Dalia Said is her name, this is happy news for those who also happen to like their loved ones to be blonde. Ramy is keeping the news private this time around as his first engagement has failed, some blame superstition. I hope this time it works out, Ramy is good guy whose heart beats Lebanon.

"Hey Jude" A Timeless Classic Embraced Across Culutres

This is nuts, but here's a music video where in one song, it took Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Sting, Phil Collins, Mark Knopfler, Elton John to perform this classic. Not one legend on stage but half a dozen of them took on the stage to bring this classic to life.

I first heard the classic on that Beatles movies where Bono was part of it. The song brightened my day and I went home and got myself a copy of the song. But this video is whole new level where the finest Brits in the music business collaborated live. They turned the song into a music festival, whoever was in attendance must have been in luck, this is an act that does not come so often

WATCH: Safa Abu Al Saud Eid Classic Song صفاء ابو السعود اهلا بالعيد

There are many things Egyptian actress/singer/celebrity and business woman Safa Abu Al Saud wishes to take back. A number of films where she had starred earlier are sort of censored now. But the song below is not something she wishes to take back. She recorded one song for the Eid in the late 80s, and 30 years later, the song is still a popular hit.

It's really not a Eid for many Arab homes until the song gets played in the air. It's a happy song that kids grow up listening to. It makes the Eid fun and exciting, toys, trips, games, rides, balloons, bikes. This is heaven according to kids. The song is about haring the joy and having a great time of those happy days, and happy days seem to be few now.

WATCH: Sandy - Ahsan Min Kitter / ساندى - أحسن من كتير

Sandy has never left, she is enjoying the success of her latest album where she has been nominated for the Middle East's best star by MTV Euro. Last Eid she had a hit song with her music video duet with Karl Wolf. This Eid she is back with a fresh music video and a new image. This is a chick who is big on fusion. Her music often fuses Rock and pop, Arabic and Western styles to fashion something that expresses her personality.

Seriously Sandy got game, when it comes to pop she gets it. You always have to evolve or else people will look away. Well, Sandy, your fans cannot look away, you are keeping them busy. This song of hers and the albums released on August 20, 2012 was produced by EMI-- a global player in the music industry. Sandy uses a global model, where she always improves her style and keeps up with the trends. She copies nobody and has never done the same music video or the same song twice.

Since 2006, Sandy has released 3 albums including a mini Album, she has done singles too, but her image and style has always kept fans and critics guessing. Which is great for concert booking as it seems Sandy has no trouble finding gigs in Egypt, she has grown to be one dominate player who has carved their own path. No mega music production company has singed her--I am certain they now regret skipping her.

The new music video was also filmed in Dubai under the capable hands of Sandy's favorite director David Zennie, the Lebanese-American who has directed most of Sandy's music videos for the last two years. This is the first time an Arabic music video does the post apocalyptic experiences, cars with no owners to claim them, streets without people. Sandy is walking and carrying a big stick.

So, if you wanted to enjoy some rock music and country done in an Arabic style, tune in to Sandy's latest album. There you can also find some romance that cures the soul. On another note if I was a Lebanese pop star whose only talent is good looks, go home Egypt has someone who is better looking and can rock your socks off.

Video: Sami Yusuf - Eid Song (Live)

The Muslim day of Eid comes twice a year, we do not really have many good Eid songs to celebrate/observe the day with. It's a day about joy and happiness. That's why the Muslim rock Star Sami Yusuf has given it the song treatment.

The video below is from one of his live concerts in the UK where he is based. This is one of his earlier songs that often gets played on those occasion. It's also religious, unlike most holiday songs, it does have faith and tries to keep a balance between happy and good. I know I like the music and I appreciate Sami Yusef's efforts to blend in more than one language in those songs.

And by the way, I am loving his drummer, the guy is a legend and he really took the rocker look and made it his own.

Composer Khaled Hammad Taking Soundtracks Seriously

Khaled Hammad loves watching movies, but his true talent is in music. So he does the best of two worlds, he writes music for Egyptian movies. This Eid movie season, he made the soundtracks of at least two popular movies. One a blockbuster comedy and another drama with some serious plot. Like every music who has composed music for films, they have to express emotions, conflict, fear and humor through their musical notes.

How does he mange to do that? Ask him, he seems to be able to transition from one mood into another with ease and perfection. He has been making music for TV dramas as well. He has built himself a fan base as you might tell form his Facebook page. He sits in a studio room to watch any given film and composes his music with his live orchestra as he goes.

I like when young people like Khaled work to make Arabic movies better. Soundtracks for films is a neglected industry. They almost chose a pop song for any given movie, and neglect that music adds another dimension to the film. Music can communicate something about the film, the camera could not. One can tell emotion through music. I am happy to see someone as talented as Khaled compose music for such films.

I wish more producers who add soundtracks to their films, it gives us fresh flavor and not one of those canned ones filmmakers have been using for decades.

The most unique Arab pop star who makes truly makes catchy and well produced songs Bahaa Sultan returns with a music video for a song from his 2011 album. As you can tell, we really loved his album, not one bad song all around great and trilling album.

His producer has also directed him again in this picture, mean to make the artist exciting one more time. Bahaa does not talk to the press, and does not do interviews, he lets his music and work speak for him. There are no original music videos out there. But anytime you have a convertible car, a model and a nice home, you get yourself a fun music video.
