Myriam Fares: First Compared to Shakira, now Gaga

There’s no denying that Lebanese singer Miriam Fares has a unique style in the Arab world that may be quite daring at times, but her talent is unquestionable. In her latest music video “El Gasayed” (Poems), she tries some very bizarre and provocative looks that are reminiscent of a Lady Gaga clip. A certain scene is reminiscent of a Rihanna clip, and another of a J-Lo clip.

After years of being labeled as the “Shakira of the Arab World”, she is now being compared to Gaga and other global A-List Celebs.

What do you think about this comparison? Do you think she is worthy of it or should she be labeled a copy cat?
