There is clearly a Lebanese trend going on, but it is impossible to ignore the women of this amazingly beautiful country. Known as the “Madonna” of the Arab World, Haifa Wehbe has found both success and criticism on her way to stardom. This Lebanese singer and actress has released six successful studio albums. But it all started for Wehbe when she burst onto the Lebanese scene when she was just 16 years old and won the title of Miss South Lebanon. She fell just short as Miss Lebanon, finishing runner-up. But that didn’t matter as she struck massive singing success. Her song, “Bus al-Wawa” (Kiss the booboo”) was used in a Pepsi advertisement and voted Song of the Year in 2006 by Radio Scope and Sawt Al Musika.
In 2006, People magazine tabbed Wehbe as one of the 50 most beautiful women in the world. Askmen.com ranked her as 8th in the world for the poll Top 99 Most Desirable Women. Conservative Arabs have pushed back on her outspoken ways and revealing outfits. Wehbe responds: “I am a performer and not a politician. I know my fans want me and I am there for them. I am not concerned with other issues.” Good for you, Wehbe and keep up the beautiful work!
