Why I wanted Beyonce in Jordan, not Egypt is because of the facebook group “STOP BEYONCE (اصل الشرور) FROM EGYPT” that reached CNN!
(CNN) — Diva Beyonce Knowles strutting her stuff in the conservative Middle East? Looks like it. Even though not everyone is looking forward to the show. Beyonce’s worldwide, year-long “I am …” tour, which has taken her from Canada to China since March, is due in Egypt on November 6 at the Red Sea resort of Port Ghalib. The single show will mark Beyonce’s first-ever concert in the land of pyramids. Tickets have reached $400, according to the Al Arabiya television station. But even before she starts shaking her booty on the Egyptian stage, the scantily dressed superstar singer has created controversy. Last week, Islamist Egyptian Member of Parliament Hamdi Hassan, part of the conservative Muslim Brotherhood, slammed the government for allowing a singer “who appears naked in her clips” to perform in Egypt, saying it was violating Sharia law. “The government is trying to make people indulge in sin and licentiousness to cover up the other crimes it is committing against them,” Hassan said in a parliamentary session. Hassan accused the government of a double standard for allowing Beyonce to perform, but at the same time refusing permission to an Islamic band that sings religious songs for children. It’s not the first time a Western pop diva has run up against Egyptian conservatism. Last year, cleric Khaled-al-Gindi slammed a 2007 Cairo performance by Colombian singer Shakira, likening her to a prostitute.
Enough? Here? In Jordan, we had many artists but not a single incident from Akon, Sean Paul, Nadia Ali, Armin Van Burren to Tiesto… etc

Hopefully Jordan will not only have more artists visiting but better artists because the likes of Akon, Sean Paul and Tiesto are all shite!
The video in the last post seems like it could be a piss take
