[ethioman15]

Hott. Nd talented keep it up

[funnyman90]

Hey ya'll my parents are from Nigeria part of the Igbo tribe. I have knowledge of other parts of Africa but what us Eritrean?

[nawalnaga]

Songname??????

[EriPages]

*HABESHA*

Does -NOT- mean "MIXED/DIRTY" or anything negative. This is propaganda by Muslims/Arabs who have developed a negative image of Habesha because of us being historically the only Africans who resisted their Islamification in addition to more recent negative images of us (famines/wars and poor Abesha women as maids/prostitutes in Arab countries because of famine/war in Ethiopia).

Habesha = One Tribe. 5 languages (Tigre, Tigrinya, Amharic, Gurage, Harrari speaking people) That is all. 

[blueiguy1]

@EriPages Great you explain that people in America assume all people in north Africa are Arab and that's it nothing else. I'm trying to learn more about this subject myself.

[divine394]

gul i love ur hair sirousely can i borrow it sum day nd i love da music that was playing while u were talking <3 wat is it caled

[bkzgreat1]

Don't call yourself Abesha, The word abesha means dirty in Arabic.

we got beautiful name ETHIOPIA from our ancestral father whose name was ኢትዮጲስ።

ትርጓሜውም ያማረ እንደማለት ነው።

[EriPages]

@bkzgreat1

Actually, that's a misnomer...Habesha meaning "dirty/mixed" etc. in Arabic is more of a recent phenomenom due to the famines in the 70s/80s...wars...and all the Habesha women who fled to middle eastern coutries for low-wage jobs such as maids or even prostitution. This is what caused the negative image of Abeshas from Arabs

We shouldn't let others define our own names, I am Habesha which is just the name of my tribe and that is all. Does not mean dirty/mix because of negative Arabs

[HelloCrazies]

SHE LOOKS LIKE TAMARA MOWRY ON SISTER SISTER I SWEAR LOL!

[samyethio]

is it me or she always pretend like she is happy!!! her lough is always looks just guffing

[itget1]

[510kream]

when u guys say ethipion/eritrean do u mean she is half and half cuz ur one or the other

[nawalnaga]

who sing the song ??

Zeritu or Maharibrothers

[nsaroma]

I am Ethiopian American as well I don't speak fluent Amharic so should I not tell people that I am Ethiopian it is that kind of thinking that keeps us seperated Zewdy your fantastic keep doing your thing the fact that you have an amazing voice and you could make it here big but you chose to do your thing back home speaks volumes remember most leave home for a better life your a product of that never be ashamed you are giving back which is more than most can say

[addmma2003]

hey thank you for the wish, but no one would ever mistaken you that either you are eriterian or ethiopian, thou you claim american. Tip: do some thing to help africa and raise money, I can contribute for that good..

[abblue11]

Zewdy you are realy realy nice keep on singing ,nice

[waffiki]

Happy New Year Zewdy, and this is 2004 in Ethiopian.

i was hoping that you and your dad will sing us the New Year song.

+++you are really famous.

[icecrazyboy]

damn I can't see it yet, y r so hot.

I love your wify face.

[paytan3]

you know why ppl recocnized u coz u r youtube slutt

[nawalnaga]

can anyone tell me the name of the song backaround, thank u

[YerhewoERI09]

way to go that is my last name

[MsErigurl]

Zewdy, you have a great voice! And i wanted to say im from Eritrea! Do u speak tigrinya?

[tzf3w]

I don't understand why u're not HUGE right now....seriously you sing so much BETTER than half of those supposedly talented singers out there....!!!

[habeshaethiopiaable]

Zewdy, you are an amazing girl. You will be the pioneer for the internationalization of Ethiopian music. Keep it up. Please donot get disappointed with some unnecessary and fruitless comments. We are proud of you.

[Abssinia]

@ 4:09 wow...sometimes i use the same expression when im short of words. hhahah damnnnnnnn

[klove696]

@Abssinia don't u think it's bad to use that word u said damnnnn kerakinbo word atetekem ok lol

[BahreNeGash]

Zewdy,

Besides talking to Web-cam & start,

1, contacting the EriAm sisters who are producing music videos & competing on American shows.

2. applying for modeling job.

Good luck,

Wishing you all the best.

I BET YOU CAN MAKE IT!!!

One of your funs!!!

[dazebhen1]

@BahreNeGash lol...i was going to tell her the same thing!!

[BahreNeGash]

@dazebhen1

Reaching out & contacting the Eri-Am Sisters would have helped Zewdy cut short ALL the "talent-agents"(bussiness sharks), who would keep her in their profile for eternity (milking her bank account), before giving her a chance to shine on her own beuty & talent.

I bet you, ZEWDY can be a good model & great singer, once she got the opportunity & spot.

I wish, I get to see her shine like Eri-Am sisters, ONE DAY!!!

[dazebhen1]

@BahreNeGash true, true...ETHIOPIA TIKDUM

[MrZetruth]

man, this chick is hot! lol

[Gonderew1]

GO GO Zewdi. You will get the crown of the music industry. You know people hate others coz they can't try what the other person is doing. You will meet lots of them on your way up so you got to learn how to handle them (i.e. ignor them).

Konjo/shikorina nesh betam.

Cheers.....

[Esenadus]

4:53 Am and you still lookin, that damn good? Damn, you I know I wanna know you.

[maxxxo243]

Damn I would marry you if you were not Amhar...

[AethiopidKING]

[natetaye]

She can sing, but Does people who don't speak amharica and don't know shit about the culture count as habesha? you might have ethiopian parents but your not habesh. real talk.

[sammydee21]

She has habesha bloodline so that makes her habesha. You don't stop being habesha because you can't speak the language.

[love4JBs]

she is habesha, what are you talking about?

[amansawa]

who cares ? U need to seek help!

[Eskobar20008]

You are so in love with yourself. That is good . You have so much energy ....keep it up! 4:00Am lol

[zxa105]

CushiticSomalianMale: Animal Somalian dont like anything that is human. They rather complain, insult, and slaughter each other. Go F**ck yourself bunch of bastards who believe in 72 virgins. You bunch of morons enjoy enslaving women and little girls for your own gratification. So take your idiotic insults somewhere else or go join killing your own people behind a comfort of your own western world instead of watching your people pirate ships for leftover rice.

[mrchomba]

God's Peace & Love,

Rashida a.k.a. ShidaNatural

[lamrof]

You are lucky to have such a dream zewday. A lot of people, a lot... don't have a dream except having general direction somewhere.

You know what you want and you are working on it to achieve your dream. Consider yourself one of the few lucky people.

[lamrof]

Can you please say "Inquan aderesachu" and "Inde birrabiro" one more time.

[frewayne]

hi zewdey i just want to that i think you are amazing and sweet girl. i told my freinds about you they are from Eritrea and they love you too. we are so proud of you we that all your dreams come true. good luck.

[berehal]

do u even go to school, fool!?. fara

[blackandgoldone]

SOB is Sounds of Brazil isn't it ? I've been to one in NYC..but not Newark...

[Zewdy]

Yeah, the one in NYC is the one we performed at, & if I'm not mistaked, they changed the acronym to stand for "Style On Beat"

[blackandgoldone]

I haven't been in a while. I'm in Atlanta now, but I'm do for a visit to Atlanta. Incidentally, I looked at some of your other videos; you're a "good package". You are very attractive and entertaining...Hopefully you'll blow up...

[blackandgoldone]

due for a visit to NYC...

[lilwaynelolliroc]

damn girl you got get a record deal. i think it's awesome that you got the chance to work with those great artist specially zeritu, i think u guys should do song together jk

[1Lakers23]

damn girl you are so fine...betam konjo...halla at me...

[livingforreality]

I strongly think that we should use the European calandar. This is due to the fact that our calendar is crying loud saying that-the rest of the world is at least 8 years a head of us; not to mention that we are actually about 300 years behind in so many things.

[lamrof]

You can also tell people, they can go to Ethiopia be 8 years younger.

[danieal452]

You Are so Sweet Girl..Happy New Year To you too.

I saw your post about the music of teddy afro. you said something true but it is exaggerated. There is one thing i want you to know. Teddy stole just some part of the music even i can say negligibly small. But this is shame for teddy. and you have to be proud of your father(though he isnt famous) that one of the top artist choose his work.and the musics are very different except that tiny phrase. And teddys work is way better than... i hope you will post something as excuse of giving wrong info
