You know the Lebanese Music Industry has reached rock bottom when an 80’s has-been who goes by the name of Clauda Chemali (ask your moms about her) makes a come-back by advertently recycling and downright copying direct scenes from Britney Spears Toxic Video- and calls the song- get this-“Bowsa Qatoulieh”- meaning- “Toxic Kiss” firstly thinking she can pull it off (shudder) and more importantly thinking this would go by unnoticed?!
What makes this even worse: The song is a HIT! Yes, if you could get yourself to tune into a cheese factory Arabic music channel for more than five minutes (I was at the dentist’s waiting room, I swear) you would most likely be exposed to this truly toxic song. She even has Robots dancing dabkeh while she performs.
I’ve gone ahead and taken some snapshots with my phone, I couldn’t believe my eyes. What planet do we live on?
and now for the video
In the picture with Red Lipstick, she looks like Drew Barrymore!
hahahahahahahahaha that is the most ridiculous thing EVER hahahaha.. Go ivy Go ivy..
Why use snapshots when you can see the whole video ?
Dear lord this is the first time I hear “tarab” on a wannabe-sexy video. The horror !!
Loool! i’ll make sure & check it !
I had to go the bathroom after watching this
But why???!!! I really feel sorry for her…. Hope this wasn’t her “come-back” plan.
Well I can honestly tell you that this is the worst song/video I have seen.
It seems not only did she fail to recreate Benny Benassi’s set from Spaceship, she managed to look tacky while attempting what she might call a ‘sexy’ imitation of Britney too! Mix in a few elements of Tron and Star Trek and you have the worst vid ever.
And what is with the side way look where you can barely see her and that guy waving around his hands….?
I am not sure what to pin her with more tacky, thief, or just a big failure.
OMG EWWW!!!!! MY EYES, MY EARS…… I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE… seriously some disturbing crap!
the funny part is that she removed the dance scenes from britney’s video that she cannot perform and the part with men … too explicit.
When are those singers gonna die including Wassouf,Elissa,Nawal Zoghbi,the plastic badly photoshopped Nancy Ajram and so on ……….
She claims to not have known Britney did this. But either way… this is a terrible video and a terrible comeback. When I was like 9… she had this one song I loved. She should’ve stuck to her old image w khalas. Either way, I disagree with Annie and maybe with yourself Ivy but I really enjoy Arabic music.. there’s the good and there’s the bad. I focus on the good. But I let myself have a few guilty pleasures such as Jad Choueiri, Dana etc. Every culture and music industry has those.

‘Qatoulieh’ translates to ‘deadly’. The song really sucks though
The horror!
Change your dentist!
aside this is really horrible , she didn’t only capy the Toxic scene , she copied also the music videos Lucky by britney spears where she is setting on that star!!!! lebanese singers usedalways to suck in their videos
when are other countries going to realize that they CANNOT compete with our superior american singers? i can’t even count how many arabic,asian, and european “pop stars” iv’e seen trying to be britney, lady gaga, mariah carey, beyonce ect it’s beyond pathetic.
