I've been to the concert.
The best organization so far for any concert i've been to in dubai. (Robbie williams, Sean Paul, and all the gigs in clubs ATB, Bob Sinclair, etc...) or may be because it was not over crowded.
The preformance of Nichole was average, sang mostly arabic classics that would make the people shake their booty. Also sang some movies songs and lebanese rahbani and fairouz songs that are good for dancing but doesn't need much of voice.
Amro Diab preformace was as always amazing, very near to the people and very entertaining with a very good voice. What i liked most is the way he go into a song , specially his classics, he starts singining with no music, words that are not in the song but are related and people just listen and enjoy the voice and wonder if it is a new or old song and then he smoothly go into the song and people realize it is just an intro.
He sang also alot of songs nonstop linking one to another starting from very recent to the extremely old songs of him.
The crowd was mostly arabs but alot of forginers were there too. The mix was good as ration of M/F (surprisingly) and most of the folks were even Egyptians or Lebanese. But the crowed was very active and the vibes were good. It worth to mention that Amro stayed for around 2:30 to 3 hours. There were no alcohol served.
Overall, although i considered not going and only went as i had free tickets and it was just across the street and friends grabbed me from home, it was the best concert i have been to in dubai and it was very good time for me.
hope this gave you idea of how it was...
