  • bullshit!these are lies.Vangelis has nothing to do with these!

    another propagandistic video,monarchy and dictatorships are bad things....

    but worst than that is to make the people spill blood for oil pumps and tubes...

    wake up,the story is repeated:the cowboys create wars and revolutions just for their causes

    NOONE cares about those people freedom and democracy and especially the states!

    It's their internal matter and those that appear as peacemakers-liberators are the suckers of earth's blood

  • one thing I know is that vangelis doesn't work for free, luckily the emir has deep pocket cause I'm sure it wasn't cheep, nothing's wrong with that per se, but disclosure would have been nice al jazeera, you just pay him to write that music

  • Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Dubai, Yemen, Bahrain, I assume aljazeera will begin to the call for NATO to bomb these country's into democracy.

  • aljazerah the job of the evil hand

  • good. i wished you would ask others like marcel kalifeh

  • @nemitron Thanks!

  • yourtreat2 is an idiot :D

  • "Arab Awakening" is a nice oxymoron.

    Trade in your dictators for a theocracy!!!

    Now, that's REALLY an "Arab Awakening". LMMFAO!!!!

  • The composition is not new, yes. He wrote it originally in remember of "Alexander The Great", but its a different (shorter) version than on the CD-release. And he made already a concert in Qatar, Doha with a complete new work, supported by stars. Possibly he release a different "Alexander The Great" CD for Arabia in next time, who knows?

  • @nonicecomment This was pretty much what I was thinking about six seconds after hitting the "Post" button on my first comment.
