I’m not sure if this is a fancy special effects/post-production job or if Amr Diab was actually on a set with Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce for this Pepsi commercial.
WOW!
It’s another East pop-star meets West pop-star from Pepsi. Remember When Henry Met Haifa?

Bernbach is the ‘B’ in DDB Needham, one of the world’s top advertising agency networks.
If Bernach did indeed ‘think small’, it gives hope to all of us who even ‘think smaller’

Thierry Henry has decided to switch sponsors from Nike to Reebok, starting in August this year, with a deal worth over 9 million British pounds.
Henry was one of Nike’s most prestigious players, but is now set to become the new face of Reebok’s “I am what I am” promotional campaign.
Previously, Henry was the driving force behind Nike’s “Stand Up, Speak Up” anti-racism campaign.
Henry is now ‘wrapping up’ his promotions with Nike for the FIFA World Cup 2006, afterwhich he’ll be Reebok’s sport-celebrity endorser.

Alright.
Based on the number of visitors and comments we get for World Cup-related advertisements, here’s a treat.
The full 2 minutes of the ‘Pepsi Football Stars in Bavaria 2006′ commercial, which airs on Arab satellite TV stations in shorter versions. There are three shorter versions of it.
It features World Cup 2006 stars Ronaldinho, Henry, Beckham, Lampard, Raul, Crespo, R. Carlos and others doing the ‘Da Da Da’ dance.
So here it is in full at YouTube.
