Om Kalsoum- Good, bad and the ugly interpretations
Inspired by the thread about Maria Shaskova I started to browse YouTube for some good, bad or the ugly interpretations of Om Kalsoumīs songs... It would be interesting to see some different examples and comments what makes them good, bad or simply ugly
 I start with Enta Omri danced by Didem: Her style is very modern and overall feeling is very Turkish (they emphasize on melody and not the original story of the song) but I like most of the thing she is doing during first 4 minutes because of her suppleness and softness but the final 2 minutes with floor-wipe feels just so wrong to this music  |

Sorry, but this is a BAD interpretation! She is killing the song. O.k., Didem is good dancer, but she should keep on dancing Turkish stuff or modern Arabian stuff and let her hands off Oum Kalsoum

Her performance resembles that of Maria Sh. especially when doing turns, don't you think? Z. |

 But that floor-wipe thing with all those swimming movements was one of the weirdest things I have seen in any style of belly dance (so that part definately goest to the category UGLY)  But Lucy is lovely - I think that her interpretations to Om Kalsoum are always wonderful and classy. Thanks for a clip  |

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!! Oum Kalsoum's bones would crack in her tomb if she would see that! Misuse her music for fantasy veil dance
This is a NO NO NO. I'm not talking about how the dance looks like. If I would watch the clip without music (or with completely different music), I would like it, because the movements are nice and graceful. But please not with Oum Kalsoum music

I doubt that would fit with any style of bellydance! What was that? "Look at my body, look how flexible I am, don't listen to the music, look at me! Look at me!"It takes more than a flexible body to be a good dancer! |
