Cairo - Hazem al-Masry
An Egyptian TV presenter made a scathing attack on singer Tamer Hosni, and accused him of stealing the musical distribution of three songs from his new album "Aly Gy Ahla", which is comprised of Egyptian and foreign songs. The presenter also criticized some of the inappropriate words in the lyrics of Tamer’s song "Akalemha" such as "Bafesh" and "Bastabat." Ahmed Abdel-Aziz, the TV presenter of “El Wasat El Fany”, aired on “El faraeen" channel, mentioned on his programme that Tamer’s theft of the musical distributions is the secret behind how he managed to finish his album quickly without hard work or diligence, opposing to what he always claims in his interviews. Abdul-Aziz stated on the 9th of July 2011, that the three songs with the stolen musical distribution in Tamer’s new album are “Ertah” [Rest], stolen from singer Rami Sabri’s "Habibi Alawlany", "Matsalnych" [Don’t ask me], stolen from singer Hossam Habib’s song “Shoft Benaya”, and “Arfet Tghayar Men Nafsaha” [She knew how to change] whichis apparently stolen from a foreign song. The Egyptian broadcaster harshly criticized Tamer and poet Baha Al Deen Muhammad, on account of the song "Akalemha", pointing out that it contains inappropriate words, and stressing that Tamer seems to fall in love with this kind of vulgar song. The Egyptian presenter pointed out that Tamer influenced the writing of a great poet such as Baha al-Din Muhammad, and made him write what he wanted, which is what appeared in the song. He also pointed out that Baha al-Din Muhammad should not have stooped to this level of writing, especially given that he has written for many great singers before. For example, he has previously written for Hani Shaker, Mohamed Mounir, Amr Diab, Asala Nasri, Mohamed Fouad, Ehab Tawfiq, and Sherine among others. He criticized the young singer’s release of a single called “Wala Tsawy” [It isn’t worth it], comparing it to the song "Aly Gy Ahla" [What’s coming is better] on his own album. He questioned why it was not included in the album, and why was it out at that time. He added that Tamer had no satisfactory answer for such questions, and revealed that he does not want the song to spread because it tackles difficult situations that he has experienced in his life. Mazzika the music production company has recently launched Tamer’s new album so that it can be released for the summer’s music season. The album is called “Aly Gy Ahla”, and features 14 songs. Tamer produced 4 songs which are "Aly Gy Ahla", "Dayman Maak", "Matsalnych" and "Akalemha".
