Bardis’ video, entitled “Hard to Get,” was viewed more than two million times on Youtube. Shakira’s video called “Cumin,” was viewed nearly three million times.

In June, an Egyptian court sentenced three people to prison terms for a racy video titled “Hands Off,” also for “inciting debauchery.”

Racy music videos are common in Egypt, but authorities sometimes clamp down on singers seen as taking things too far.
