You were in white like a bride in Beirut: beautiful and spontaneous as always… Inviting you to join me on stage was a sweet surprise, and I was very happy about it.” This public appreciation reflects the warmth of the relationship between the two artists after years of estrangement, and it seems that a new page of friendship has begun.</p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Elissa honors the greats and lights up the stage </h3><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1149/1280;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/392bd2b9-1ff4-42df-8c98-731e5cf9ba1d.jpeg" ></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> During her singing segment, Elissa performed a selection of her most successful songs, including “Ayshalak” and “Henghani Kaman We Kaman.” But the most striking touch was her standing in respect and honor of the late artist Ziad Rahbani, singing Fairuz’s “Sa’aloni El Nas,” and describing him as a “genius,” in a rare act of loyalty just days after his passing. Her special tribute to Ziad touched the audience and sparked widespread interaction on social media.</p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Human moments that leave an artistic impact </h3><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1044/1280;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/90af1c0a-2f80-47d9-9c81-93f09db54622.jpeg" ></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> From Carole Samaha's front-row appearance to her surprise appearance on stage, from Elissa's performance of Fairuz to her tribute to Rahbani, the night was filled with heartfelt moments that created a different emotional atmosphere during Beirut's holidays.
