Jad Shwery Rapes An Arabic Gem



It's ok to do a cover of an old song, but it's quite a different thing to remake it and bring it back to life in a karaoke version. I might be harsh on Jad, I rarely like him or his work--some of his music videos are fun to look at. But when he released his latest album a month ago, it has an old classic song Hebbina.

See, it was a Syrian singer who made it big in Egypt who was behind this song, that we cane to adore. Now a young Lebanese singer director is taking it back. Look no further than the music video for the song with the strange dancers. Not sure if this was some Jad promotional event or some concert.

Jad knows his way around other Arab entertainer, so he enlisted few of them to appeal in his music video/concert. We will name Haifa Wahbe. Not sure if the music video was made for 15 years old or something, but it should be clear that Jad is not doing the song any favor.

It makes senses that most of those concert goers appear intoxicated.

Jad Shwery - Hebbina / جاد شويري - حبينا
