REACTION: Faouzia & Kelly Clarkson - "I Dare You" in Arabic (unofficial version)

Reacting to the unofficial version of Faouzia and Kelly Clarkson's collaboration on Kelly's song "I dare you". Kelly did a global project in 2020 where she had people from different countries translate her song. Faouzia translated it into Arabic, and not to spoil anything, but this is the glorious result.

The one take where Kelly switches live through all 6 languages is insane! I mean, not only from a musical standpoint, but language wise as well. And I think she had like a little less than a week to practice the languages before recording.

[@HegeOfficial]

That one sounds soo cool, I have to check it out :)

[@r.rodriguez1257]

That version was amazing 👏 I also liked her singing in th other languages...Spanish and Hebrew singers were my favorite

[@kendrabryant4738]

Yeah I love the official video too!

[@kaylee5438]

I remember Kelly discussing this project. She mentioned it was always in the works, but with the pandemic they moved it up because they thought the message was timing. However, all of her phonetic translations were in LA and they were pandemic-ing in Montana. So, she asked them to send them 1 at a time, but they sent all 5 to do in just a couple of days. She discussed being practically in tears trying to rewrite all of the phonetics for all of the versions again.

Kaylee is the MVP of Kelly stats!! ❤

Huge credit to Kelly for giving a platform to other singers and stretching her repertoire. Faouzia is a force of nature. What a collaboration!! 🌟 Is there any way you could bribe your neighbors? We love it when you join in ☀️

[@HegeOfficial]

Such a great collaboration!!

[@rongotwalt4487]

Absolutely heartwarming reaction to these two beautifully talented singers ! So so great together ! Kudos to Kelly for her singing in Arabic ,it was fabulous that she took this on ! I believe all great singers can sing in multiple languages and their vocals will shine through every time ! It's so obvious here ! Faouzia and Kelly are a natural duo both fantastic singers on their own;; but together this was magical to witness ! I love Faouzia with all my heart because she is so multitalented and passionate about her music ! One of the finest singer songwriters today ! Kelly has been a staple in the music industry and is as good as they get ! Diva quality all the time ! Both are fabulous women in their own right ! Hege as always I love your absolute passion in your reaction and analysis because it is so heartfelt ! I feel the same way you do and you bring that out each time on your channel ! Keep posting sweetheart loved it so much ! 👍😊🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️

[@HegeOfficial]

I appreciate your thoughtful comment as always :) Thank you so much for watching! They really are a great duo, and I'd love to see them collab again in the future :)

[@angelabest4468]

I learned of Fouzia through The I Dare You project and have been a fan of hers ever since. Love her. Also Kelly learned this song in 4 other languages AND also sign language. She also said in an interview she recorded all of the languages in 4 days. I will try to find the link for you if you like. These 2 sound insane together and you already know how I feel about Kelly ☺. I love your reactions when you get mind blow ✨✨✨

[@HegeOfficial]

She's so great! :) And oooh, I love that Kelly also learned it in sign language. Such an important one, and often overlooked when talking about languages. I'm looking forward to check out the other versions too :) Just have to figure out which to save for a possible reaction first so I don't spoil anything :) Thank you for watching

[@sharisp2]

This collab Kelly did with all these international performers is also where I was introduced to Faouzia and now I am obsessed with her music and blossoming career! Kelly also learned these lyrics in French, Spanish, Hebrew and German so she could accompany each singer, you should react to the full collab video 😉

[@RodrigoPereira-xu1wd]

The best version, followed by the English one! You should check Kelly’s rendition on The Voice Finale, when she sings in every single language by herself and stuns it.

[@HegeOfficial]

Oh wow, that sounds like a SHOW! :o Thanks for recommending

[@sharisp2]

Thank you for that recommendation I am off to watch that now! 💖

[@r.rodriguez1257]

Yes, Voice finale performance 👏

[@lindaharbison2050]

I cried when I heard Kelly sing this on the finale of The Voice. For her to be able to sing all different languages in one song is AMAZING!! Kelly has such a God-given talent.

[@dpeacock8975]

This is so amazing! The album has 6 versions of this song. She does a solo in English and then a duet with other artists in Spanish, French, Arabic, German, and Hebrew. When I first heard the album, I thought she would sing her part in English on every version, but I was so blown away when I heard her sing in all the other languages as well! That was crazy to me and it shows how dedicated she was to this project. Thank you for this reaction! If you haven’t already, I hope you also check out the other versions of this song. ♥️❤️💖

[@HegeOfficial]

I haven't checked out the others, so I have a lot to catch up on :D Such a fun project, I love languages. Thanks for watching! :) Have a great day!

[@frankingenito]

You should also check out the I dare you mega mix video. Kelly sings with all 5 people and she did her part straight through, flipping back and forth between 5 different languages. She is amazing. Also hi to Kaylee, if you are the person from the Fischtank live streams.

[@donidoni11]

🤯 this was a very cool project Kelly put together. Love all the different versions.

[@HegeOfficial]

I haven't heard the others yet, but I bet they're great too :)

[@Rosannasfriend]

This project was so fun. I love the one where they sing in a group with other singers from other countries is singing many different languages.

[@HegeOfficial]

Great project :) Yes, people have been recommending that version with all of them. And also one where Kelly apparently performs it in all the different languages by herself too. Looking forward to check it out :)

[@mikeconway9849]

[@ya4106]

Faouzia was born in Morocco and moved to Canada at a young age, but moroccan culture was always present in her life. She was raised in a moroccan/muslim family, so as she said:the moroccan customs, the language (darija), the food, music of there were always present. That's why she gets to do these arab runs because she grew up listening and practicing, and she commented that she did these runs in her own songs without even realizing.

[@HegeOfficial]

Love it :)

[@brucemckay1611]

Thank you much for this. I hadn’t heard this before. I had only heard the official version 🤩🤩🤩🤩yeah lots of those

[@brucemckay1611]

Btw, either you speak with a Canadian accent, or Norwegian is influencing Canadian. Because I cannot hear an ounce of accent from you. I worked with a Danish guy for years and his accent was hilarious.

Also Kelly Clarkson’s vocals have always impressed the hell out of me and I could listen to her all day. I had no idea that she also sings in foreign languages. Her talent has been elevated to yet another level!!! ❤️

[@KevinPlaysGuitar]

Wow, Kelly really surprised us by singing in Arabic. I totally didn't expect that either. Just what you to said I thought she was going to sing in English while Faouzia is singing in Arabic. I totally enjoyed this collab! In my country, Arabic It's pronounced Air-bic. 😃 ⭐🌠🌟

[@HegeOfficial]

Yes, I feel like that's what famous singers do a lot of the time when collabing on bilingual projects. So this was really cool :) And thanks for the pronunication, I couldn't get over the fact that I sounded like I said "aerobic" haha, so I had to ask. Thank you for watching!

[@KevinPlaysGuitar]

@@HegeOfficial Haha no worries.

[@Swimdeep]

Air-ab-ic. I agree and really like the harmonic minor vocalizations of much Middle Eastern music. The intervals on vocal runs are so different and the harmonies, so cool. Thanks for this surprising performance. ✨🤯

[@HegeOfficial]

Thank you! ☺️ And I agree, it’s really cool! I’d love to see more of it and I love that Faouzia is introducing those scales and styles to «the mainstream» (I know she’s not really mainstream yet, but she’s been trending on TikTok etc). Thanks for watching ☺️

you haven't seen Faouzia up close live she doesn't need makeup and is naturally beautiful!

[@ruby.444]

The reason why faouzia is pronounceing the R like that is because she is not speaking the standard Arabic it is the Moroccan dialect it is french mixed up with Arabic Like I don't understand have of what she is saying

[@HegeOfficial]

Ah cool :) So you'd trill your R then? Yeah, Moroccan people I know usually say that many other speakers of Arabic can't understand them that well. I think it's fascinating that it's such a huuuuge language that it has dialects so different from eachother.
