• Description : A TV news report about the free out...(more)door concert in downtown Beirut on the evening of May 26, 2008. Lebanese singer Haifa Wehbe wore a military-colored shirt (showing her respect for the Lebanese Army) with a picture of Lebanon's new President, Michel Suleiman on the front. The crowd was estimated at over half a million. Unfortunately, the concert didn't go well. The stage was too close to the loud, raucus crowd which made it difficult for her to perform. Security swarmed around Haifa on stage to protect her. She was escorted away by security and army personnel after she sang three songs. Assi Al-Halani estimated the crowd at 700,000. Thanks to Maher of HaifaFans for this video report from NewTV. An account from someone who was at the concert: "It was calm at first, and then it started getting more crowded and when Haifa got on stage, it went crazyyyyy. Everyone went nuts over her... she sang a song for Lebanon then congratulated the president, but everyone was pushing and shoving, they were barely able to sing because no one wanted to listen and calm down. Haifa started singing Mosh Adra Astanna and the power went out because of all the pushing, but they later fixed it and Haifa sang wawa. Then when the beat of Fakerni started playing, ppl went crazy again, got on stage and haifa ran away. lol Everyone goes crazy over Haifa." (less)
