Here are some links related to this blog.
very funny u/he should know that since their faces never showed…very kuwaiti since the vid says they’re from san antonio texas..dude get ur facts straight before u post any crap like that
There mum is from Texas and they are there studying now. One of the sisters is a boxer also. I was showing this video so you could check out their voices not faces.
So what was funny again?
*bumps Mark out of the way*
sadkljcn: Actually, if you click on the “Tags” option (in the actual YouTube page the video is displayed in) after clicking on the video Mark has placed on his blog, you will see the girls’ names. They are Kuwaiti (and as Mark said, their mom is from Texas) and they have one of the most amazing, powerful voices I have heard.
Mark was just sharing this with us, and it is not crap, who cares wr they’re from.
he woke up on the wrong side of the bed…
I think their voice is very beauty!!!!!
Their voices are alright, no biggie.
Damn I feel old!
they sound great
Very nice indeed. Made my day here in Kuwait, thanks Mark
Wow. Those practically AMERICAN girls get full rights to Kuwaiti citizenship and everything it entails, and my friend who has a Kuwaiti mother and an Egyptian father, spent his entire life in Kuwait, speaks nothing but Kuwaiti, gets absolutely nothing. Nice.
nothing kuwaiti bout them… proof?
I feel you Monotheist. This is coming from a kuwaiti-born and raised that has no right to call himself kuwaiti.
These girls are sell outs to their nation. lol.
oh plz… its no new news… non kuwaiti father means no citizenship for u…
In that case, I think there should be a reciprocal law out here in the states. I dont think Arab nations that follow this practice should be given citizenship.
Kuwaiti singing US Anthem! Is it just me who sees the contradiction in this?
Faisal, that is why I called them “sell outs” lol
why is their a contradiction… are guys really that stupid?
if any national sings the kuwaiti national anthem does that call them a sell out?
rashid il majid sang national songs for kuwait, does that make him a sell out? hes saudi..
kuwait and the states have no political problems with one another, and if kuwaiti girls want to demonstrate their talents by singing a national anthem, i dont see why not. Dont like it? … ask me if i care?
YEAH SELL OUTS!!! WOO HOOO!!!! DAMN THEM TO HELL!
Yet if you go to Sultan, Co-ops, Restos, etc all you see (mostly) are american foods??? what the hell is that? pathetic.. u guys complaining dont think that much do you.
so what they sang the American Anthem, they are half Americans. they could do what ever they want.
I don’t think there would be so much drama if the twins had sang, for example’s sake, Austria’s national anthem.
I just find it amusing to see a good number of people steering the topic at hand – the twin’s actual talent – into something political. The other trend that narrow-minded people usually fall into is linking the subject to religion.
People, grow up.
I was forced to pledge allegiance to the U.S. flag back when i went to school there (elementary). After dad talked to the principal, I was excused from it.
And excused from Sunday School along with the morning chapel service (went to a catholic school). So they’re quite alright with it.
So it’s not a matter of being a foreigner to sing the anthem..who cares? It’s just a song.
The girls like to sing, they put it to good use. It’s like raging at Bin Laden’s niece for showing up on GQ’s cover & being a singer.
Ditto Erzulie: Go grow a brain then come back.
Good points. I forgot that they were half American. And Adam..no one asked if we cared about your opinion :)
But yeah, you guys are right..i guess it is okay to sing the American national anthem. I guess they couldnt find any American in ASK who was better at singing it. Plus they are half American, so I guess it is okay.
I don’t see a problem here. Borat sang the US national anthem, and he’s from Kazakhstan :p
lol..good one Boba.
Now let me ask this, as I am real curious about the answer. Would it be acceptable to have an Indian sing the kuwaiti national anthem at a public event?
the chick on the back has a nice figure
I was waiting for the part where they would sing “9aboo7a `7a6abha na9eeb !”
^_^
Nothing special about them..
Those of you who don’t see a problem or contradiction here are either:
a- Expats
b- People with national identity crisis
If u fit in the profile, Its ok, I don’t expect u to get my point
Q80Warlock, right on!
Mark desouza :
grow some nuts
Umm..great comeback.
Faisal: The military band that plays the Kuwaiti national anthem for the Amir & delegates are Egyptians. See any contradictions there?
It doesn’t matter.
No contradiction.
The band is not on the center stage; it is the background while the delegates are the focus of the ceremony.
The American girls shown here were the main event and are in the center stage glorifying and singing praise to the states.
Once again I ask….what if there were a bunch of Indians singers singing the kuwaiti national anthem before a big event like a football game in kuwait?
glorifying and singing PRAISE to the states?
kind sir, you should be proud of your fellow kuwaitis to have the chance and show their God-given talents. I would be delighted to see one of my countrymen do the same. where is the harm in that?
Why are you even debating this? Whats the point?
Я.
Military band are not egyptians !! who gave you that idea.
Dont the band members catch random pigeons and cook them after finishing the anthem?
Ok, so just by the tags, aiysha sharifa alzaabi, in that order, they are automatically kuwaiti girls graduated from ASK in class of 2003, who’s mother is from San Antonio Texas…
Damn someone has some r34l g00d tag reading skillz..
/me needs some more training
mushroom: They are not fellow Kuwaitis. they’re two very talented Americans singing their national anthem with pride, which all of us should.
Then maybe the tag should say “American” . They can either be American or Kuwaiti. I dont know..maybe that is how Kuwait is different.
When I am in India, they dont consider me India, as I was raised my whole life in Kuwait and then lived in the States.
Either way, those girls do have great voices!
The Girls r Kuwaiti, their mom is from San Antonio Texas (i know the mom and the girls very well) so they’re there continuing their education. one of them actually wants to persue a career in singing.
[...] A few months ago I posted a video of two Kuwaiti sisters (twins) with amazing voices singing the US … Well I got an email a few days ago with some new info. The two sisters Sharifa and Aishya Al-Zaabi now go by the name Odyssey. Seems they are now signed up with Young Hustle Records which are based in Texas. They have four songs available online which you can listen to by following the instructions below: [...]
Great voices! AMAZING On-stage charisma. Talented, I’d say. Good on them!
These girls are the most amazing people you will ever meet. They are beautiful and have good hearts, and they can really sing. Just because you cant do that, dont be jelous. They are doing nothing wrong…youre just hating….
