Things are Clear Now

Mr. Walid Diab from ADW has written some important points about the last album and other issues. I will try to summarize/translate some parts of his thread [Arabic] here.

Some fans who said some bad stuff about the album were very unfair to their favourite artist. The poster was not that bad and all the ten tracks were good if not excellent. Mr. Walid agreed with me that the arrangement was good, but it could be better if Amr has worked with Tareq Madkour or Fahd.

About the video, may be it's not the best of Amr but it's really, really good. At least it was much better that the garbage we are watching on Melody and co. everyday.

Regarding Alam El-Phan and Amr's former producer Mohsen Gaber, it was really pathetic to watch them trying to affect the new album sales by releasing some songs through mobile services companies. It seems that Mr. Gaber convinced that he can do nothing, so he decided to play some little games. USELESS!!

Alam El-Phan rivals Rotana had a big shock when they knew the numbers of sales of the new album on its first day. Their record was for Kazem Al-Saher who sold 75000 copies and now Amr is selling 450000 copies and the market is still asking for more!

Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, the owner of Rotana, was so happy to hear that and decided to meet Amr personally in Beirut to congratulate him. During that meeting, Prince Al-Waleed gave Amr a special gift. He asked him to shoot another video-clip as a bonus [not included in the contract between Amr and Rotana]

Some people said this album was a huge success, while others said Amr should have done better and considered this album as a failure. The next concert for Amr in Marina, Egypt on August, 20 will make the things clear.
