*UNDER CONSTRUCTION*
I found that this needs a special page for itself because articles about it and what you see around you is out of control!
Im talking about how Nancy's works make this HUGE BOMB everywhere.
Ok lets start with Akhasmak Ah
Akhasmak Ah, when released, was probably the most talked about work and most surrounded by events at that time, for like a year!
It became a social and even a psychological (yes :S i swear i read that) phenomenom in society! HahaHA!
Commercials everywhere had to do with Akhasmak Ah, plays, parodies, shows, u name it :S even stuff at home
then came Ya Salam
that showed everyone Nancy's vocal talents
and then everywhere u go u wud hear ppl go like "ya salam ya salam addi eih helwel gharam.. ya salam ya salam " i swear it got freaky sometimes :S with new lyrics and stuff sometimes.
Yey (sehr 3youno) was the most anticipated video in the album - everyone loved the song without a video and fans requested a video for it so bad and Nancy did so. Everyone loved the song and it had such a unique style for a newly-famous nancy, seeing Akhasmak Ah, and Ya Salam.
The video came, with Nancy's famous bangs (gherra).. then u walk in the streets and u see all girls with similar bangs :S especially in lebanon.. even people i know wud come back home with their "new nancy bangs"
3 videos, and we were done with the album - btw the albums song are all really amazing and unique
like Ahla Jaw, Enta, Inta w Bass, 3einan Tara, Nasseito Gar7o, Ashakaraballi.. ok wait thats all LOL
Ah w Noss.
It was soooooooooooooooo highly promoted for and anticipated and advertised for
You would see the making of in magazines and newspapers
and the melody commerical for it, coinciding with Nancy's concert with Enrique iglesias
No seriously ppl were DYING to see wat Nancy had.
Ah w Noss came out - -and it LITERALLY BOMBED EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE
AH W NOSS EVERWHERE!
PPL who dont speak arabic or kids wud go like bossi boss in cafeterias and malls
NANCYs Galabiya even became a fashion hit
You go to stores and read "Buy Nancy's galabiya here"
Especially in khaleej countries.
Then also back to parodies, shows, commercials, JOKES,
Nancy's "teshet", u know like the bucket where nancy was handwashing the clothes in ah w noss
was EVERYWHERE LITERALLY
along with the galabiya and braid
that was at the begininng of 2004, btw..
At that point Nancy was officially a #1 Celebrity.
The success was so tremendous..
only to be even BEATEN by.. LAWN 3YOUNAK!!!
AGAIN, nancy!
The second hit from the album lawn 3younak was even MORE successful!
BRIDES WOULD WEAR THE SAME DRESS
WEDDINGS EVERYWHERE PLAYed lawn 3younak at the ring exchanging part!
LAWN 3younak was EVERYWHEr
And i once counted its play on tv, and it was actually played 19 times in ONE DAY
and an average of 13 plays per day for like 3 months
during which nancy was announcing she wasnt sure whether to film Inta Eih or Hobbak Leyya next
and I'd be like INTA EIH INTA EIH!!
OK btw when I bought the album and ppl wud go like wat are the best songs the FIRST time i heard it
i said Ah w noss, Lawn 3younak, Oul Tany Kida, Inta eih.. I SWEAR!! and they were the hits later on!!
Even now I really like baddalla3 3aleik, gayyin yo2oulouli, hobbak leyya, la teloom.
Many ppl like sana wara sana a lot but i dont :S
then, when she was the first guest of Rotana's brand new "Top 20" she said she decided on Oul Tany Kida and Inta Eih. THAT WAS THE BEST THING EVER.
Apparently Coca-Cola chose Nancy to be their star! theres way more on Coca-Cola & Nancy here.
And Oul Tany Kida was Nancy's first Coca-Cola commerical, a BRILLIANT BRILLAINT masterpiece!
If you see the original one before the Arab TV editting, you would say its an English commercial for Coca-Cola!
Then about a month later came the Oul Tany Kida video, the making of the commercial, and it totally deserved one.
Nancy's Coca Cola posters were everywhere.. oul tany kida everywhere.. the beat of the cokes.. everything was just so fresh, dynamic, fun.. like Nancy.. and Coke! that was sometime before the summer
Even Nancy's brand new look for the whole campaign and promotion was so cool and funky and summer style and it became a i dno wat u call it.. a fashion hit ? :S
Now.. all is going great so far.. ppl were waiting wats Nancy's next!??
It was Inta Eih.. that song just hit EVERYONE right there, but ofcourse not everyone knew it cuz ppl usually only care about videos.
and once again, Nadine Labaki created a masterpiece for its video.
But this time a very new, unique, and touching kind of masterpiece.
Inta Eih's video received NO CRITICISM this time
everyone just LOVED IT and called it a masterpiece, i know im saying this word a lot but thats cuz everyone seemed to agree on it.
As much as the song was touching.. the video delivered that feeling through ur eyes this time..
Nancy showed superb - actually PERFECT - acting abilities in this video. You don't doubt it for a second.
(Movies, TV Shows & series offers SHOWERED on nancy after the video and many big movie stars called and congratulated her and complimented her acting ability.. i think one of them was.. Faten Hamama i think?)
People who felt down would immediately go play Inta eih over and over
or watch it in the middle of the night...
it was in Rotana's advertisemtn for the late late night music program.
and in the video Nancy looks most natural than any other video,
with a homely look of normal beautiful hair.. little or no make up.. bed clothes
and u know how she wakes up in the bed and all?
next month about 128309182301829380 arabic videos later on had the SAME SHOT.
after a more 1293192830928309829 brides in videos lol.
and as for the song again, no one dared at all even go near criticising Nancy's vocal abitilities
because it basically was quite obvious.. Nancy was capable of it, be it fast and modern, classic and romantic, or even tarab.
The albums videos ended with its classic marvel
After a series of perfect amazing hits
Melody launched the Nancy Ajram ringtones commercial featuring all of her hits, something never done before! for anyone
And now, where Nancy on her music carreer peak,
or on the throne of the Number 1 Arabic star spot,
had to release her new album from the TOP.
MBC launched a documentary on Nancy, heres more info here
of 4 episodes called "Ma La Ta3rifoonahu 3an Nancy ".. and then on DVD - dvd's here.
in one episode nancy sings a little part of a new song then.. "Ana Yalli"
WHICH BECAME A HIT.. JUST LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT SPREAD EVERYWHERE AND PPL WERE WONDERING IF THATS A NEW SONG FOR NANCY AND IT WAS A HIT EVEN BEFORE ITS RELEASE!!!
The album which was SO BADLY ANTICIPATED for SOOO LONG
ppl were just dying to get a sneak here or there. but it kept getting delayed overrr and over
during this time 2 new coke commercials were releaed in august
the AMAZING one where shes laughing
and Marilyn Munroe one
then now we hear.. ANOTHER top brand needs Nancy
DAMAS
theres loads more on DAMAS & Nancy here.
And a photosession, commercial, video were all filmed in 6 days
Ppl are still waitinggggg for any thing
and there it comes!
on November 24th, (my bday :P) Nancy's 4th Coke commercial was released with a BRAND NEW HIT
"Moegaba" .. but just a LITTLE part of the song.. which was AMAZINGGGGGGG
the commercial was such a huge production.
NOTE - FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR ANY ARABIC SINGER
THE ALBUM LAUNCH COMES READY WITH THREE VIDEOS!!!!
Then together came a HUGE DAMAS Farfasha advertising campaign with probably one of Nancy's BEST SONGS in HISTORY - ANA YALLI. THE FUN , SIMPLE COMMERCIAL WAS EXACTLY LIKE THE SONg, LIKE THE JEWELERY YOUTH COLLECTION.
THAT CAME ALONG SIDE A PROMOTION FOR .. THE ALBUM!!
ATABTAB.. YATABTAB WA DALLA3
THIS ALBUm - MAYBE LIKE THE BEST ALBUM IN RECENT ARABIC MUSIC HISTORY
.. IS ALL HITS... seriously.. EVERY SONG IS A HIT
THEN NANCY heard Atabtab wa Dalla3 and was like no way thats TOO CUTE THIS IS MY ALBUM TITLE.
ok now.. do u remember that huuuuuuuuuge wave of songs for children that came?
DO YOU KNOW WAT STARTED IT?
U NO THIS FOR THE SAME TIME
THE VIDEO, and SONG, which was a kids' favourite, ATABTAB STARTED THE WAVE
IT WAS FOLLOWED BY the most famous stuff like:
Marwa, yakhti camila
Rosy, noussou baba
Dominique, wawa ah
Haifa, boos el wawa
THE VIDEO, for many ppl seemed to target children for the first time in specific - THEN CAME THE HUGE WAVE STARTED BY NACNY, AS USUAL
To many others..like me.. it held a message for more older ppl..
The beggar -.. who has a horrible life... but there she is.. jumping around.. dancing with children.. laughing and having a time of her life..
EVEN THE WORD - ATABTAB - WAS A HIT.. U SUDDENLY NOTICE PPL ARE USING IT OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THE WRONG OR RIGHT MEANING.. ITS HILARIOUS
NOW REMMEBER I SAID THREE VIDEOS WERE READY?
A month later the circus video of Moegaba came out!
That was one of Nancy's first try of performance videos - "este3rad"
where she changes so many styles and circus performances!
That was something u wud never see in any other clip - circus became this new thing in Arab culture introduced by NANCY!! uve never heard about any circus thing before.
THEN.. ANA YALLI!
I personally think Ana Yalli is Nancy's best song EVER - in history
AND ANA YALLI, the video was really like the song, fun and simple, and really like the jewelery, fun, simple, sparkly with a french touch of elegance.
ANA YALLI IS EVERYONES RINGTONE.. It happened to me sooo many times in public places I hear Ana Yalli ringing and I think its my phone
In malls, cafeterias, even in crowds and audiences!
I think Ana Yalli was a huge step in the Arabic music industry, because its one of its uniquest works.
Then came an even BIGGER step
the second literal SMASH HIT
EHSAS JDEED
a song sooooooooo full of feelings
and Said ElMarouk's video showed us all those feelings to our senses. eyes..
The video is 8-minutes long, and still , i once counted it being played 21 times in ONE DAY
SO THATS LIKE.. 3 HOURS OF EHSAS JDEED IN A DAY
LOL
Ehsas Jdeed is like NOTHING nancy did before - the romantic classic style
We've seen sad classic, inta eih, we've seen romantic egyptian style in hobbak leyya
we've seen sad in ya salam
but ehsas jdeed was a brand new Nancy trade mark!!!!!
The album is full of hits
EVERWHERE
EVERYSONG is HIT
That theres a wikipedia page just about the ALBUM
And here's Wikipedia's page about YaTabtab Wa Dallaa which shows you all about the album.
IN 2007, ONE YEAR AFTER THE ALBUMS RELEASED
I checked the Virgin MegaStore Charts (Leading International Music Store in the middle east)
I saw it myself!!!!!!!!!
ATABTAB WAS N U M B E R O N E
RIGHT THERE
BELIVE THAT? ONE WHOLE YEAR
IT made the best seller list and the recommendation list ( duh )
other works in the list were Hussein elJasmi, Number 3, Compilation Cd's number 2, 5, 6,
Rola - Kel elGharam, 7 and sometimes 11 , Elissa bastannak number 9, amal hijazi 12,
