Bahibbik Wahashteeny: Difference between revisions

Angham herself said she was not satisfied with the promotion of the new record. Two days after the album release, and hearing about the mediocre sales of her record, Angham decided to stage a concert in Tunisia alongside Ramy Ayach, and specifically at Carthage International Festival, to promote the record. The public exceeded 14000 in number,<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://www.babnet.net/festivaldetail-2856.asp|title=Angham - Rami Ayèche : adieu l'art, bonjour les dégâts|website=Babnet}}</ref> but Angham's performance, which continued very late at night forced many to leave the concert an hour before its official closure.<ref name="auto"/> The press reviews were not good toward this concert. It stated that the Tunisian's public demographic are tending toward the quick pop songs and that they came for Ramy Ayach and not Angham. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2005-07-29 |title=Plus de 14000 persone..pour ramy ayach |url=http://www.comlive.net/Plus-de-14000-persone-pour-ramy-ayach,67486.htm |titleurl-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303180349/http://www.comlive.net /Plus- Thisde-14000-persone-pour-ramy-ayach,67486.htm website|archive-date=2016-03-03 is for sale! |access- comlivedate=2022-12-04 Resources and Information.|website=www.comlive.netLiveNet}}</ref> Angham made less guest appearances on television show but the main one was "Moubashar" (LIVE) with host Mahmoud Saad. She also was guest at Saaet Samaa (An Hour of Hearing) on Noujoum FM radio. Moreover, she appeared on November at "elBeit Beitak" (This Home is Your Home) television show in a step to try to air her music video "Bahibbik Wahashteeny" outside Rotana's channels to give Egypt's the chance to watch it since having Rotana requires a satellite connection. Angham also appeared sometimes on Rotana News to give information about her latest record's update. The record's timing came in a year where the Egyptian music industries and editorial press are starting to harshly accuse Rotana for ruining the Egyptian artists' careers on the expense of the Gulf and Lebanese ones.<ref name="auto2">[{{Cite web|url=http://www.l7en.com/7ber/View.php?id=793|title=× بنظرة سريعة: كشف المستور غنائيا ×|date=27 September 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927143821/http://www.l7en.com/7ber/View.php?id=793]|archive-date=27 September 2007}}</ref> Angham also performed at Star Academy 4 where she sang "Sidi Wisalak" (Your Charm), "Bahibbik Wahashteeny", and "Baheb Nafsi".

Years 2004–2005 were full of rumors and conflicts which reflected negatively on "Bahibbik Wahashteeny" record sales. Angham joined Rotana production company on 14 March 2004, after seven years of the contract's expiration following the release of "Bet'heb Meen" in 1999.<ref>[{{Cite web|url=http://www.aawsat.com/details.asp?section=24&article=222948&issue=9238|title=أنغام توقع مع "روتانا" لمدة ثلاثة أعوام|date=27 September 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927001621/http://www.aawsat.com/details.asp?section=24&article=222948&issue=9238]|archive-date=27 September 2007}}</ref> Because of a busy schedule trying to cope with a new marriage<ref>[{{Cite web|url=http://hebdo.ahram.org.eg/arab/ahram/2004/4/28/phot0.htm|title=Al-Ahram Hebdo,La vie mondaine &#124; Bienvenus en Egypte|date=25 April 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070425013641/http://hebdo.ahram.org.eg/arab/ahram/2004/4/28/phot0.htm]|archive-date=25 April 2007}}</ref> to her second husband, Fahd, and a lawsuit launched against her by Mohsen Gaber, her ex-company's president, which ended when Angham paid the sum of the production fees for her third year contract,<ref>[{{Cite web|url=http://www.lh7n.com/vb/t8804.html|title=عقاب أنغام بعد شهر العسل - لحــن الشــرق|date=29 September 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929003359/http://www.lh7n.com/vb/t8804.html]|archive-date=29 September 2007}}</ref> Angham found it hard to concentrate on "Bahibbik Wahashteeny". New problems emerged as well.

It grew more intensified when Angham took time to respond to the matter before she finally denied it in Kalam elNass magazine after many weeks. The press also mentioned a previous rumor that Fahd has a secret relationship with international Lebanese artist, Elissa, in Lebanon. They described how Angham stormed back to Beirut angrily and took him back to Egypt. Elissa's website denied this rumour quickly. After the release of "Bahibbik Wahashteeny" music video, Angham gave birth to Abdel Rahman, her second son to join the family. Prior to the birth's due time, Angham was hospitalized for a minor kidney stone, and was forced to temporarily postpone the recording of the record. Because of her condition, Angham refused at the last minute to accept to star in a new movie called "Aan elAshk Wel Hawa" (About Love and Passion) alongside Mona Zaki and Ahmad Sakka.<ref>[{{Cite web|url=http://www.arabnews.com/?page=9&section=0&article=65790&d=23&m=6&y=2005]|title = Arab News}}</ref> There were already plans for this film in 2005. On the second note, the Middle East press used "Bahibbik Wahashteeny"'s commercial failure to justify a rumour that Angham is very angry toward Rotana when the company refused to allow a big budget for her next music video with Nadine Labaki, topped with a negligection of her record's promotion.<ref>[{{Cite web |url=http://www.6r63h.com/vb/archive/index.php/t-19814.html] |title=Archived copy |access-date=28 August 2007 |archive-date=25 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190425134512/http://www.6r63h.com/vb/archive/index.php/t-19814.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Angham stepped up in many newspapers and magazines to deny this statement.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.almotamar.net/news/41437.htm|title=أنغام تنفي وجود خلاف مع \|website=www.almotamar.net}}</ref> The weakness of Angham's record contributed also in rising the competition among the new Egyptian female singers who are willing, at any price, to take her position.
