Which begs the question... if there's such a huge Kuwaiti demand to see Destiny's Child in concert, why couldn't they come here and perform? WAIT! DON'T ANSWER THAT!!
When big international performing acts embark on a world tour, it's standard operating procedure for them to go to major cities and bypass less significant ones. Which could mean that Kuwait just ain't significant enough for Beyonce and the gals..... Of course, that's what I like to fool myself into thinking, when the harsh reality is that any promoter bold enough to suggest bringing them here would be laughed out town!!
- Imagine the cries of indignation and protest coming from Kaifan!
- Imagine going to see Destiny's Child under strict observance of the 13 ضوابط.
- Imagine Beyonce being ordered to cover up her sexy legs!
- Imagine not being able to move or dance to the funky beats!
- Where the hell would they perform? The friggin' ice-skating rink? You gotta be kidding me!
For the record, I decided that it's not every day that we get a major performing act passing by this part of the world, so I'm heading down to Dubai with everyone else this weekend to watch Beyonce shake her groove thang... especially since I'm still kicking myself for not going to see Alicia Keys last year. And I'm staying with friends so I won't be ripped off at the hotels!
I'm not a fan of the group at all, and I don't own any of their records (except Beyonce's solo album), but it could be fun... I'll be happy just to hear "Say My Name" and "Bootylicious" and call it a night, but I do hope that Beyonce sings some of her funky solo stuff like "Crazy in Love" or "Work it Out" from the Austin Powers movie.
So... no blogging till I get back, and I promise a full concert review like the one I wrote last summer.

ReplyDeleteadded on as an afterthought - everyone else who happens to be going have fun and stay safe as well :P
Desintys Child not coming to Kuwait....
ReplyDeleteYou guys really aren't missing much. While it's cool that major acts are coming into the middle east you're still missing out on some really good music.
When Common, N.E.R.D, Aimee Mann or Scissor Sisters come to dubai, THEN you're missing some good music.
Destinys Child could perform in any shithole in the middle of nowhere and still make enough....
yalaaa yaa7elwean etroo7oan oo etrdoan belsalaamaaa shkelhaa wanasaaa 7asafaa 6afatnaa walaa yalaa next time ma3akom
ReplyDeleteDrunk'n'Gorgeous ee walaa anaa bayeabhoom b3d fee 3ersee ;)
Al-Rayyes... If Aimee Mann comes anywhere near the Middle East, it'll be a miracle. I am a huge fan but sadly she is not the type of act who would sell well here. The Middle East seems to attract either big mega-stars or washed up has-beens.. rarely anyone on the cutting edge.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun show though, the full review tomorrow

ReplyDeleteYou sure it was me? I wasn't in a hurry at all, and I did have a tan since I came straight from the beach..
