Saddam Saddam

Is there really a song in honor of Saddam Hussein? Citation needed. Or at least a link to the song. Releere (talk) 17:17, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What does it mean when...?

The arabic pop section doesn't have a arabic language version of the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.140.53.180 (talk) 16:41, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Haven't men also contributed to Arabic Pop?

This article is quite lebanese-female-sex-symbol-centric. Especially with the "Haifa, Nancy, Elissa..." list mentioned twice. Where are the Amr Diabs and Tamer Hosnys? 75.164.244.241 08:06, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Men have; but I know less bout them. If you have something to add bout male artists feel free to! Also it depends on the region. Obviously in places like Iran women arent even allowed to sing. Lebanon and Egypt probably have the most female singers due to being laxer. --Thegingerone 08:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Khaleeji

Is khaleeji considered to be pop music as well? I've noticed that most of the content here is about the western/northern arab state music. Nothing about the gulf states? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.160.46 (talk) 09:24, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No Western Melodies

Read this part of the article:

"Many say that Arabic pop is responsible for the Westernization of Arab culture and youth. They also tend to say it degrades women, and brings bad examples to youth such as drugs, alcohol, and sex."

You should tell who said that.

Read this too:

"but usually incorporates Arab styled instruments and music with (Western melodies and beats). A common way is to continually mix Arabica music with Pop music themes for instance resulting in a Western sounding melody sung in Arabic; with occasional trilling."

The electronic melodies and beats?????, since the electronic music was invented, the entire world used the electronic beats and melodies and still, if any one used an electronic beat or melody he would be considered as he's using Western Melodies?????. That means the entire world has no melodies, nor beats it's all coming back to Western Music!!!.

Anyway you CANNOT consider those as Western beats or melodies, an electronic bass is common in almost every pop song. The statement is completely WRONG. I think you misunderstood what "beats and melodies mean", is your English that good?.

Latest revision and doubts about Umm Kalthoum as a pop star

Hello, as the previous discussion from 2007 about deletion or keep came to the conclusion that the topic is noteworthy, I have tried to revise and enlarge this article. It is true that Khaleeji pop music is still missing, and somebody knowledgable should add information on this. I also have strong doubts about calling Umm Kalthoum a pop star, as in the historical description towards the end. Before changing this, I would like to read any views from the community about this. Thanks in advance.Munfarid1 ([[User talk:Munfarid1|talk] 10:40, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
