Declining Dameer Al Arabi
Diana Haddad was offered in 2008 to be part an ensemble of artists to sing Dameer Al Arabi (The Arab Conscience) about the dire situation of the middle east and Arab world from Palestinian-Israeli conflict , Iraq War , sectarian tensions & political instability of Lebanon and many other issues. It was basically a sequel to Al Helm Al Arabi project of 1990s. Many of the original participants agreed to take part again like Asala Nasri. However, many new famous artists joined to the ensemble this time from Yara , Nancy Ajram , Amal Hijazi , Diana Karazon and even Cheb Khaled . However in an interview with Tarattatta -a music variety show, she said Arab "patriotic songs" proved useless and vain. Haddad explained that a long tradition of patriotic themes in Arabic songs did not lead to any change in situations and issues involving the Arab World . Speaking about why she declined participation in Al Dameer Al Arabi (The Arab Conscience). Haddad pointed out that such themes are all worn-out, and has no role to play anymore. “We have to find a different way to help our societies,” she concluded. http://www.mazika.com/en/news/haddad-patriotic-songs-useless.aspx
Style
Diana Haddad is known for her elegant style since the early start of her career, wearing designs and conjuring her own unique style. Many believe she is currently the only Lebanese female artist who consolidates with the conservative Arabic traditions combined with feminine elegance and beauty. In 2003 she was chosen as the "Most Elegant Female Arab Singer" at the Al-Doha Festival in Qatar . She has also attended many fashion shows of Walid Attalah, her stylist at the time. She has also worked with Akl Fakeh the only Lebanese stylist who has won the UAE Golden Key for his designs. When she attended the Fashion show of her stylist and personal designer Akl Fakih in late 2009, she was perhaps the most notable guest there. To quote the Khaleej Times on Haddad's appearance there; " Adding that extra touch of glamour was the presence of Arab singer Diana Haddad in the audience." http://www.khaleejtimes.com/citytimes/inside.asp? xfile=/data/citytimes/2009/November/citytimes_November147.xml& section=citytimes& col= In 2007 Haddad was awarded the title The Most Stylish Star of 2007 by "Stars Cafe" Magazine (the official source for World Music Award results in The Middle East). She received the highest votes from experts in fashion as per polls by the said magazine beating well known stars like Nawal Al Zoghbi, Haifa Wehbe, Elissa and Nancy Ajram. http://www.waleg.com/archives/009901.html
Khaliji vs Lebanese Haddad
Despite firstly establishing herself as a Lebanese artist, whose hits in the 1990s followed more on the lines of the traditional Lebanese beats found similar in the music of Lebanese folk singers Najwa Karam and Majida El Roumi, rather than her Khaliji style of today.
In Jarh Al Habib , the Lebanese track Noor Aini , is dedicated to the Lebanese folk singer Wadih el Safi . A track she performed live with him on Lebanese television. However, today, Haddad is known to be perhaps the only Lebanese singer who specialises in singing the Khaleeji dialect. A trend she has followed since the late 1990s with hit singles such as Men Ghebet , Wainhom , a tribute to her late mother, and ''Al Fousoul al Arba'a being the first ones of note. The 2002 album, Law Yesaloni , where Haddad made history in being the first Lebanese singer to release a 100% Khaliji album. Her success in the Khaliji genre has perhaps what inspired fellow Lebanese singers Yara and friend Nawal Al Zoghbi to record 100% Khaliji albums of their own. She has recorded several songs dedicated the UAE , her naturalized country. Firstly in 2001 she recorded the Khaliji song Mnawer Bladek (You Lighten Your Country) a patriotic song dedicated to the Emirates and Sheikh Zayed the then ruler of the UAE. The video was directed by her ex-husband Suhail Al Abdoul and set in Dubai.
In 2001, in a national concert in the UAE, Haddad teamed up with Arab singer Rashid Al Majed to sing the song live Ard El Emarat , (The :and of the Emirates) even singing the opening verses in English. She collaborated with Al Majed again to sing the duet Asma Bilad another song dedicated to the UAE. In recent years, her popularity and album sales are still increasing as is her fanbase. Many old fans from her native country of Lebanon feel disappointed with her latest Khaliji style, with some going as far as accusing the singer of "selling out" her Lebanese roots and wishing for her to return to her original "Lebanese" style. http://blog.haniobaid.com/2008/06/28/my-life-in-music/ However this negative view is mainly held by fans from Lebanon.
However among the Gulf and Saudi community and the Arab World in general, her current adopted Arabian style has seen her gain a wider fan base and respect among Arabs who appreciate her level of modesty and talent. Many consider her strong voice and deep vocals to be one of the current most recognized and distinctive ones out their today along with Sabah , Najwa Karam , Asalah Nasri and Fairuz . She was known in the early days of her career as voice of the mountains . In an Interview with Diana Haddad and her husband Suhail al-abdoul when they were titled as one of the UAE's 2007 Hot Power Couples, they made the same list the previous year in 2006 which was conducted in "Ahlan!" magazine where she stated her love for Khaliji Gulf traditions and saying "I love Dubai,”. “You can find everything here – it’s a cultural city. I even sang for Dubai’s National Day in 2006. That was a big event for me." http://www.ahlanlive.com/hot100/hot100cat.php? catID=11& nomID=283 Her connection to the Persian Gulf|Gulf Region and influences can be traced back to her childhood where she spent mostly in Kuwait and her marriage to Emirati video director Suhail Al-abdool playing a major role. The irony is that despite Khaliji music being a specific style of Arabic beats, instruments, and dialect, and while it may be possible for a non-Khaliji to perform, it is almost never accepted as genuine material. However, Haddad has managed to break that barrier and stereotype. She is very popular among people in the Gulf Region and has been somewhat "adopted" into Emirati culture and society. http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticleNew.asp? col=& section=citytimes& xfile=data/citytimes/2008/November/citytimes_November210.xml On October 30, she released her 2nd full Khaliji album Men Diana Illa although not living up to phenomenal success of its predecessor Law Yesaloni , the album top charts in the Gulf, Iraq and Jordan and met with moderate success.
Relationship With Others In The Music Industry
Despite at times making criticism at music styles she does not like, or the videos she feels are obscene, Diana Haddad has never launched personal attacks against other singers even the ones she does not like, except at the Nawal incident being an exception. The owner of Alam Al Phan record company credited Diana Haddad in the 2004 interview with Khaleej Times, after signing her, stating that unlike many singers who are motivated by greed Diana Haddad is different as she spent 2 years "perfecting" on her Awel Marrah album." When asked what made him want to work with her, he answered: "She is a genuine singer" and added that his company will do everything to promote artists like her. http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticleNew.asp? section=citytimes& xfile=data/citytimes/2004/june/citytimes_june84.xml
Nawal Al Zoghbi ;
Diana Haddad and Nawal Al Zoghbi were once centre of a famous feud. In 2000 Diana Haddad's husband Suhail Al-Abdoul accused Nawal Al Zoghbi of paying more attention to her fashion style than her voice and songs. Al Zoghbi took the couple to court in Lebanon on grounds of "emotional distress" she suffered as a result of criticisms made by Abdoul in the Arabic press and his wife Diana Haddad's statements that her voice was "out of tune". However in 2002 the court rejected her case and she lost. The ruling stated that "the statement made by Haddad is not classified as defamation of the claimant, because it does not have any impact on her basic artistic position but is rather linked with her performance. The claim that the plaintiff is a singer or performer is a flexible classification that conforms to personal standards". http://www.albawaba.com/en/countries/144588/& searchWords=Diana%20Haddad
Amazingly in 2004, the two singers overcame their differences, when Diana took the initiative and made a personal phone call to Nawal after hearing that Nawal was experiencing a downfall in her health. Diana revealed that once she heard Nawal was not feeling well, she felt it her duty to call and wish her a fast recovery. Nawal on her part was grateful towards Diana for calling her putting aside all disputes that had previously occurred. Soon after that, they began to form a mutual respect for one each other. Diana Haddad on an interview with television show host Nishan, she expressed her respect for the singer even singing a song dedicated to Nawal live. http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=ueZwT9U1FI0& feature=related She also recorded a live version of Nawal Al Zoghbi's Mandam Aleik on her phone and put on her website in tribute to Nawal. Nawal Al Zoghbi also made a tribute to Diana on a Lebanese television show by singing Diana's debut song from 1996 Saken live. http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=HevLUDxC_3E
Elissa
One of the Arab world's biggest singers yet surprisingly Diana Haddad has rarely ever spoken about or met with Elissa. Despite the fact the two both competed against each other at the Studio El Fan contest, in the same season 1992–1993. However, Diana came in defence of Elissa work that she and her album Ayami Beek deserved to win the World Music Award in 2008 more than the current winner Nancy Ajram who won for her album Betfakkar fi eih? ! . Diana Stated that it was clear which album was of a better quality (Ayami Beek). In 2010 when asked in interview on her opinion about Elissa, she stated she thinks Elissa has a "beautiful voice" that is unique and that she clearly deserved the World Music Awards|WMA award. Haddad also went on to praise the quality of songs Elissa chooses.
Majid Al Muhandis
Diana Haddad maintains a good friendship with Iraqi singer Majid Al Muhandis and just like Elissa, Diana stated she believed his album deserved to win the 2008 World Music Award more than Nancy Ajram. http://www.albawaba.com/en/countries/240526/& searchWords=Diana%20Haddad%20Nancy%20Ajram Since it was clear that he put more effort and the material was of a better quality. In an interview Majid revealed when he was involved in an accident, Diana personally contacted his manager to check on his recovery. http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0Op1T8ffzo8
Nancy Ajram
Diana Haddad has made it no secret that the type of music Nancy Ajram sings is not her style nor is she a fan of. She also stated in a magazine interview that Nancy's voice itself "doesn't make her gleeful". However, Diana also stated in another interview that despite not being a fan of Nancy Ajram's music, she does respect and admire the singer's accomplishment of rising to fame in such a short amount of time.
Diana criticism of Nancy Ajram's music came into the spotlight once again when Haddad responded into news of the Lebanese singer winning the 2008 World Music Award . Diana stated that there were other artists who deserved it more with better albums than Nancy's like Elissa and Majid Al Muhandis.
