'Samira Said is the only female singer not to have fallen into the plagues from the nudity, and which not to cease the song forever at the same time, but arrived has always to make always await an impatient public with artistic surprising by their innovations...
-Newspaper; 'How you explain, the delay of your new album?'
-Samira; 'The album was delayed because of circumstances beyond my control, I started to prepare it two years ago, and thus my rhythm this year spent, was that I recorded a song then I make a long pause, because at the same time I moved, that makes one year that I began really work without interruption.'
-N; 'This is true that you have to record 36 songs and that you then chose?'
-S; 'Yes, this method took time to me also and I also chose very carefully the 14 songs which will be put in the album which will leave next July.'
-N; 'Why don't you work with new talents as regards composition?'
-S; 'I work with recognized names bus are professionels, and they, they cannot change a word or an expression easily for arrangements, but this does not mean that I refuse to work with new talents.'
-N; 'How happens works it in general?'
-S; 'I work with the group which has the best advanced one, after the texts are write where the composed musics, sometimes also to share the ideas and to suggest the idea of a lyric writer writing with my manner.'
-N; 'Be you part in Brazil for the album?'
-S; 'I never left to Brazil in my life, and this is a rumour.'
-N; 'This is true that the next album will contain songs in dialect of the Gulf and Moroccan?'
-S; 'All the album is in Egyptian.'
-N; 'This is true that you will make a duet with the type-setter and Algerian singer Mounir hamoudi?'
-S; 'This is a rumour, I indeed will make a duet with a Moroccan singer who names Elam, and the song is a completely different with new idea, because the repetition of the ideas is useless, I chose Elam for an innovation not a repetition similar that the production with Cheb Mami.'
-N; 'You have choose because it is Moroccan?'
-S; 'I don't sing according to nationality, I lived in Egypt much more than in Morocco, my son expresses himself as an Egyptian and know some words as Morrocans, and thus I seek a singer who sings in a way different that from the principal current.'
-N; 'There are problems with Mohsen Gaber production?'
-S; 'My next album is the last album in my contract with Mohsen Gaber, which does not indicate the renewal or separation, and indeed there were some problems between us, but who arranged ourselves.'
-N; 'It is because Mohsen concentrates more on the clip-videos than on the production of the albums?'
-S; 'Industry itself has a problem because any album to be put on the market, will be found at once on Internet sites, consequently, the sales decrease and the exposure of the product undergoes a great loss on the level of the cost of profitability.'
-N; 'Did you agree yourselves for publicities of the new album?'
-S; 'I never highlighted publicities with Mohsen, I am in this moment concerned with the contents of the album, after will come time from the advertizing.'
-N; 'Why not a production by Samira Said herself?'
-S; 'I am a female singer, which don't understand the language of the businesses and the money, and I also don't like me occupied of all that is technical.'
-N; 'Why not remake of an old song?'
-S; 'It is a good idea, but it is the prod. which decides.'
-N; 'The nudity of the singers became increasing in Egypt and in the Arab world?'
-S; 'This phenomenon became current, not only in the country, but also outside, there are enormously stars, but very little with a true talent, the song did not become a profession of the profession, in short this phenomenon will not continue a long time.'
-N; 'Is what those have a negative impact on truths male artists?'
-S; 'A male singer must assert himself because there is an enormous quantity of albums but little are known by the people, and that functions for the singers who make art with firmness.'
-N; 'In rising generation of singers, which can be classified as a good singer?'
-S; 'Frankly, I try up to now not to say names because I like the music in general, and the majority of the songs are similar, but I like Jannat, Sherine, Amal Maher, Mohammed Hamaki, Tamer Hosni and Shaza.'
-N; 'A great number of singers sang “Al dal3a” (“cherished” with explicit form) but not Samira Said, why?'
-S; 'Quite simply because these women sing explicitly and excited, there is a great difference between the women which attracts the instinct of the man and the women who highlight the grain of the intelligence.'
-N; 'You succeeded in maintaining the value of the women and men in front of their personality, and you are unaware of humiliation completely, that you of the man-women ratios think?'
-S; 'I would like that the equality is the base of a relation between the men and the women. But naturally periods ago when the weakness and the defeat of a woman take the top, but this does not mean not let go, the women are in the company of development and economic as, much of women think as the songs give them force and a direction, each woman must maintain dignity and humanity, must be respected and to have an exchange between men and women.'
-N; 'Does that concern you?'
-S; 'I don't like humiliation, and when I feel humiliated or broken, I am quickly in osmosis with me to even face the life which became a battle, and who must be gained by each person in his own manner, I like when the women are fighting and do not die just for an end of relation for example.'
-N; 'How you maintain adherence to sing, in spite of the disappearance of several singers?'
-S; 'I like to sing and this is why, I provided all shapes of songs, traditional, modern in French/English, and like I listen to music constantly, I always learn because I like to cut through a path and this as long as I have intellectual ambition and thoughts, I would be always with the research of the innovation.'
-N; 'Why ceased the concerts after that of the channel 'Mazzika' [2005]?
-S; 'Because I wanted that a concert of good omen is presented, the concert of “Mazzika” did not carry out even not 20% of audience, the concerts which I want need with the access for the adequate material and a large organization, it is what misses in the Arab countries, we returned 30 years behind in our Western states, a musical orchestra became traditional, but the public of today needs a different form, much sang in Live and was discriminated because quality of performance is not similar only that of the albums. There are songs which cannot be interpreted on scene and that also depend on the potential of the singer… An example in the concerts which I want, that which took place recently with Shakira in Egypt, of the work integrated in team for the singer who is with best of his form.'
-N; 'It is true that Samira Said discovers melodies of other singers and take them again at once?'
-S; 'Indeed, and this because I listened to the songs in various languages, any type-setter frightened of those gives me the melody in this way.'
-N; 'Why have entered the field of publicity? [Lesieur]'
-S; 'The reason was “purely the fact” it is possible to repeat the experiment.'
-N; 'Why not test the experiment of the cinema?'
-S; 'I think of the cinema in a very great way, I had a proposal, and I read the scenario, but it was not good.'
-N; 'You recently took part in the emission “Star Academy”, whom have to think of this experiment?'
-S; 'It is a program related to commercial, where the musical level is high and the idea is beautiful.'
-N; 'What you think on the new program of Amr Diab, discovered young talents?'
-S; 'When I read the news, I thought of an American program identical to the idea, that I had seen, where young singers travelled by bus of one area to the other to discover new talents, until the bus arrives at the final station… I am very surprised by the idea, however the ideas must be studied with attention and that the means of productions are large, to lead to the final.'
