    The most popular song by Miryam Faris was “Haqlaq Rahtak” which represented the local Egyptian art. There was a great purpose behind this song, as it expressed the issue of male dominance, which quite a few males had. It also expressed the eastern women’s desire to be liberated. The song was composed by her elder sister. It was a big success as compared to other singers and lyricists. It won many prizes. This song was the main reason for her success and for her reaching this position which she got today. But today, the affectionate singer Miryam Faris has turned in another direction in the field of arts, which is singing in the Gulf accent. This is very beautiful and demonstrates her broad artistic abilities and her professionalism in the field of singing. Most of the Arab singers, specially the Lebanese singers, face a great deal of difficulty in singing a song in different accents, especially in the Gulf accent. But the artist Miryam Faris has perfected the Gulf accent, as she is one of the most famous artists on the artistic scene today, and is competing with famous singers.

    The young artist Miryam Faris is considered one of the shining Arab artists on the artistic scene, as she belongs to a very prominent family. Her father is a jewelry designer, her mother is a fashion designer, her sister is a lyricist and her other sister is an artist. She is considered one of the most beautiful and affectionate Lebanese voices available on the artistic scene. She was a ballet dancer in the beginning of her career at the age of five. She participated in many children programs; she was successful in all the programs and always stood first. Then, after many years, she enrolled in a music institute where her singing talent came to light, along with the dancing talent she had since her childhood. She also took part in many festivals so that she could improve her singing ability to be famous in the arts field. In 2003 she started to sing and to record albums, and her first album had the title “Ana wa ash-shawq,” which means “Me and Yearning.” It gained a lot of fame and success on the artistic scene and became the most popular that year. Her first album won many prizes. In 2007 she launched her second album, which also won many prizes.

    Majida Al Roumi sang songs for many of the poets and composers, and she also sang for kings and presidents. She has been singing in the major festivals in the Arab world. The most important of these festivals is the Festival of Carthage, Jerash. After that, she started recording albums. Her first album was titled “Farewell.” This special album was successful on a very large scale; then several of her albums were released and all of them succeeded. To this day, she still sings distinctive and successful songs on the Lebanese and Arab music scene, and we wish her greater artistic excellence in her future work.

    The Arab Lebanese artist Majda El-Roumi, also called The Angel of Arab Music, is one of the stars of Arab and Lebanese art, and one of the mature Arab artists who are gifted with a beautiful and attractive voice. She is distinctive not only in Lebanon, but in the Arab arena; she has an audience stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf. She was born and raised in a sophisticated and distinctive house that is full of talent. Her father is a great and famous musician in Lebanon and the Arab world, the creative artist Halim El-Roumi. He was the main reason for the appearance of this distinctive talent and beautiful sound which is warm and full of sincere emotion. The great artist Majda El-Roumi has loved singing since her childhood. She was inspired by many famous Arab musicians, like Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Abdul Halim and other similar musicians who were prominent on the artistic scene. Her singing talent has emerged since her childhood, and although she had a very special sound, her father rejected the idea of her singing and he prevented it. But he approved it after a short period of time and allowed her to sing and start her career. She has participated in the programs for the Lebanese singing, and the Committee was stunned when they heard her distinctive voice while she was singing the song “My heart is my Guide,” and she won first place in this program. After that, her father helped her to continue in her career and sing her songs. The first song she sang was “I dream about you, O Lebanon.” This song caught everyone’s attention, and she achieved great success. Due to this song, she achieved the fame and prestige among the poets and artists.

    We are happy with what this artist has reached of a place that many Arab artists couldn’t reach. The dedication that the artist, Majida Al-Roumi shows and her respect to her art made her gain the love and the respect of the entire Arab world. The beauty of her work, voice and her special style are some of the most important characteristics of this great artist who has succeeded with her artistic journey over these years. I think she was creative in her career and she achieved constant successes that lead her to be a super star who deservedly headed everyone. She achieved these successes because of effort and artistic and cultural potential which enabled her to sing in many countries as she speaks several foreign languages. This added to her career a really beautiful touch and that’s why I think that artist Majida Al-Roumi is at the summit of Arab singing and one of the senior female Arab artists. She is also one of the most beautiful voices that came out of Lebanon to reach and spread throughout many Arab and global countries.

    I consider Fairuz as one of the giants of Arab singers. She is one of the rare voices who have added a lot to the Arab singing. Ms. Fairuz enjoys a beautiful voice which we have always enjoyed along with the sincere lyrics. Lady Fairuz is one of most brilliant women who has offered and still is offering a lot to the Arab singing. She owns a real art that she keeps presenting because she has a talent and she is capable of continuing to walk on the road of art. She is greatly admired by the Arab listener as her work is still remaining and will remain in order for many Arab artists to learn from. In my view, I think that Fairuz is a school for the Arab art as this beautiful voice, which we cannot resist, is one of the best women voices in the Arab professional singing scene since its first launch

    I am one of the followers of the news about Ragheb Alama. I also follow all the news about him in the magazines, newspapers and press. In fact, I always feel proud of him, because he has never been criticized. Besides, he has never imitated any other singer or gossiped about anyone. Honestly speaking, Lebanon is the Mother of Art and Artists, and it offers a lot of creative artists who have an extraordinary relationship with art. God willing, Lebanon will remain as one of them. Thus, we pray God the Almighty to protect Ragheb Alama for us and for his art. In the near future, he will perform the best work, God willing. As one of his fans, I am always looking at the news about him and at the festivals in which he participates. In fact, I love him and I pray God to grant him success, hoping that his future will be always the best. In this respect, Ragheb Alama is currently a member of the jury in a very important youth TV program, through which he presents the nicest and finest voices and selects those who have a musical talent. Therefore, we pray God to grant him all success and the best. May the coming days be full of goodness and happiness for Ragheb Alama, God willing.

    Haifa Wehbe is the most beautiful and finest young Lebanese songstress, whose songs reflect pamper, love and sensitivity. In fact, she is considered one of the young master artists who have reached a very developed stage. Haifa has exceeded the artists of her generation because she is careful in selecting wonderful lyrics and songs which are full of sense. As a matter of fact, I would like to congratulate this sweet songstress on her achievements. In fact, she has got a lot of fans who are always longing to be always by her side and listening to her wonderful songs. She is really a fine songstress whose songs are always the most wonderful and the finest. They reflect excitement and love. In fact, the media have never left Haifa Wehbe alone, because she has always occupied the leading and most distinguished position. She is also the most beautiful and finest singer. In fact, her songs are the best proof of our love for her. Indeed, many singers have commented on her in order to tarnish her image. Yet, people who know Haifa will never believe what is said about her. She is one of the nicest, most loving and most beautiful Lebanese singers who reflect sensitivity. Thus, Lebanon is really lucky to have such a master artist as Haifa Wehbe.

    Ragheb Alama is a master artist who has offered Arabs and his large fan base a lot of songs that reflect love, romanticism and patriotism. He has always expressed his high sensitivity through his very nice songs. In fact, I am one of those who love him mostly because he is a true human being in every sense of the word. Also, I am proud of him as an Arab rising singer. As an Arab citizen, ever since I attended one of his concerts, I have hoped that one day I would be one of the participants in his musical concerts. In fact, the master artist Ragheb Alama is considered one of the most prominent Lebanese singers who have a strong and distinguished voice. Indeed, I really respect him very much, because he has never performed a meaningless song. All his songs reflect his feelings. Thus, I would like to congratulate him for all this potential and his strong personality. In fact, I felt that when he launched his single “Assef Habibty” on TV. I have really admired this song, because if you listen to it and concentrate on its lyrics, you will realize that you are feeling what he is saying. I really love this song, although it is not part of my life. Yet, at the level of lyrics and expression of feelings, its lyrics are really nice and reflect love and romance. The song also portrays how his girlfriend has fallen in love with his friend in the beginning. It is an unprecedented idea in which Ragheb has excelled in performing it with great professionalism. From that time on, I have been listening to all of Ragheb Alama’s songs.

    Haifa Wehbe is one of the leaders of shameful pubs. In fact, Arab art will never accept such a show artist showing her body. She is one of the artists who are known for striptease. She is one of the most shameful singers. Haifa Wehbe is no more than a publicity artist, given that this issue is clearly revealed in all her songs. As far as I am concerned, she should give up music and become a publicity artist. In fact, I really hate her. As Arab people, we do not feel proud that this Arab songstress is Arab, because she is one of the bad songstresses. I really hate her, given that she represents this silly generation which does not represent love and respect, especially since Arab music is very good. Thus, it never needs such naked songstresses. Indeed, Haifa Wehbe has shot songs in a silly way, and some of them reflect disrespect. For instance, “Bous el Wawa” is a very silly song which we cannot consider an Arab song. Thus, Haifa cannot be compared to master singers, namely Fairouz and Om Kalthoum, who have been very influential in the music realm, given their high sensitivity. In fact, I really respect every singer who respects his/her art and the country where he/she lives. Unfortunately, there are many multi-talented singers in terms of provocation and obscenity like her in such a dear and developed country as Lebanon. Yet, Lebanon is one of the Arab countries that contain the greatest number of respectful singers. Unfortunately, Haifa Wehbe is a Lebanese singer whose art is based on publicity, pamper and performing obscene songs. She displayed such an obscenity in the film “Dokkan Shahata,” which reflects the extent of her poor artistic quality and obscenity. In fact, she has had hundreds of plastic surgeries and this will make her a comedienne one day. In conclusion, I neither love her nor do I wish the best for her, because she is a bad show singer.

    A special dedication from our hearts to all the Christians all over the earth, and may it be a happy and blessed year for everyone on earth. May the days of all the Iraqis, Muslims and Christians, be full of feasts, happiness and pleasure, and may happiness return and may a smile be put on the lips of the Iraqis with their different ethnic backgrounds, sects, doctrines and religions. May the New Year be better than the current year, while we are living in it. The current year included blood and terrible things that the tongue cannot describe, and may we get rid of all the terrorism in Iraq. May God bless all the Iraqi martyrs, both Christians and Muslims, who have fallen as a result of the cowardly and accursed terrorism. Our prayers are with you, our dear Iraqis, for you to get rid of all the causes of disputes and scattering, and to go back to living in peace in the light of this beautiful country, which has gathered us under its sky throughout the ages without discrimination on the basis of religion or any other basis. God bless us and all the people during Christmas and the New Year celebrations.

    Fairouz is a great artist who left behind her, after long years of singing, a long history of singing that is full of very famous songs that became songs for everyone. People from the generation of Fairouz, and from the current generation as well, sing them. Although we have a new generation and we are in a different time that is very fast-paced, and this is a generation that has hundreds of options and a lot of female singers, as there are a lot of Lebanese and Arabian female singers, in spite of all of that, Fairouz has been able to keep her position and glamor. Everyone knows who Fairouz is, and what is her value is. She has many fans all over the world and the Arab world. Everyone enjoys it in the morning when he listens to this voice, which is like a sacred, angelic voice that is warm and delicate, and they enjoy all these songs in the morning, sung by the voice of Fairouz. Authentic art remains the same. It has always its fans, and throughout all generations, Fairouz will be immortal in people’s memory by virtue of her beautiful songs and because of what she sang all her life. Fairouz was different among the rest of the singers, and to this day, we have never witnessed anyone like her, who presents art the way Fairouz does. Her way of singing is different, as she sings the most difficult songs, lyrics and music, and she has been unique in everything she has sung. She sang national and enthusiastic songs, as she was famous of her patriotism and her love for the Arab world, as she sang for a lot of Arab countries. She sang for childhood as well, and for the morning and night, about love, suffering and longing. She was very creative in all her works. We want to send all love and greetings to this great artist. I personally consider her the second in the Arab world to the extent of the generations, after the creative Um Kalthoum.

    You and those who are like you have abused the Arab art, and you are among those who defamed the image of the Arab art, unfortunately. But the blame is not upon Meriam Fares or others in this low artistic generation; the blame is upon the monitoring authorities. They are the reason behind the spread of all that. They are the reason why such people got into the art field and were given names by some channels which search for profit and nothing more. Now, anyone who wants to can enter, sing and make clips, and this is what has already happened and what produces such people.

    She is from the young generation and considers herself a singer or an artist. Who is she compared to Um Kulthoum, or who is she compared to Fairouz or Magda Al Rumy? Believe me, I do not think that there is an artist who has equaled those immortal artists in memory, but the singing today is mere dancing, singing and shaking. This is what Meriam Fares and others are presenting, who do not have any respect, as those great artists have. Every one of them sings, as they love singing, and not to tempt or gain money or fame, but their talent surpasses all these aspects. The songs that Meriam Fares is presenting are nonsense and mere laughter, especially when I see her jumping in the video clip from one place to the other, and making these movements so as to tempt the youth through these movements, as well as the immoral clothes that she is wearing so as to attract the eyes of the youth and not their hearing. The artist should establish respect for himself before thinking of anything else. Respect is one of the most important matters which should accompany the artist, so as to really become successful. Moreover, all her songs and songs' ideas are confused and stolen, and they do not express the Arab way of thinking at all. Why doesn’t she go and sing western songs, and the issue will be resolved? She has nothing to do with the Arab singing at all, and above all, she calls herself an artist and an Arab one.

    Myriam Fares has won the hearts of the fans, and a lot of Arab citizens have loved her. Yet, she is currently in an embarrassing situation with Fairouz. It is not a big problem. Myriam Fares wants to portray the personality of Fairouz in a role about the biography of her life. However, Fairouz has refused, while Myriam wants to perform the work, given that it will increase her stardom and add a distinguished item to her career. In fact, I do not think that the role of Selena will be carried out, because Fairouz is determined to hinder this issue, and there is no compromise over it. Thus, I personally hope and beg Fairouz through this free space to grant the request of young Myriam, who is willing to perform the role of such an important and prominent figure as Fairouz. I also hope that the latter will not defy the wish of Myriam and will grant her the opportunity to reach stardom, so that she will be immortal in the hearts of all the Arabs and all her fans. Indeed, I am one of the people who are most interested in this issue, and I would like to find a solution to this problem. God willing, this is not a big problem, as many people think. Yet, there must be cooperation between artists in order to reveal the artistic sense to the entire Arab and international world. God willing, this issue will have a good ending, and I pray God to grant both songstresses all the best and success. I also pray God to spread goodness and love in the hearts of all Arabs and the entire world, O God the Almighty.

    Merriam Fares is a young and loving songstress. I personally love her, because she reflects the sense of youth art which gives the Arabic music a great motivation. It adds a special flavor to it, especially since Merriam Fares has won the hearts of a lot of fans for her artistic arts, namely the Fawazir, i.e. Riddles, musical concerts and other artistic roles. What she presented during the Holy Month of Ramadan was one of the most wonderful and nicest things. Thus, as Arabs, we are proud of this young songstress who has honored all Arabs and exported her voice and that of her country to the farthest place in the Arab and European world. In fact, she proved this when she challenged all the conditions and gossip and held her concert in Iraq. This was an unexpected step, because of the gossip about Iraq and their pains. In fact, we said that it was impossible that she would go to Iraq. Yet, she challenged all the circumstances and gave her concert. The most delightful thing about this is that Iraqis have granted her the title of “Merriam the Iraqi” and they said that she must promise them to return to Iraq once again. What a nice love and communication!

    We should feel proud of Majda Roumi, who has an honorable and respected artistic family which reflects respect, fidelity, nobility and values. In fact, she has gotten us accustomed to her performing nice, distinguished songs. Yet, the most important thing is her modest appearance in all her songs and festivals. Thus, I pray God to grant her all the best and success, hoping that she will make progress. We also hope that the Mawazine Festivals will be one of the most important festivals, where Majda Roumi has performed her best and most wonderful songs. Indeed, all her fans from Morocco and the other Arab countries respect her and show her continuous love. God willing, she will progress and will be the best singer for all Arabs and all her fans, given that she has never been criticized for her work or for any concert. On the contrary, all people love and respect her and respect her work, and success is from God.

    Myriam Fares is one of the most beautiful young voices, and she has a large fan base, thanks to her beautiful songs. In fact, she is the singer of the youth, and she has succeeded in reaching the peak of stardom, thanks to her beautiful songs. Besides, her voice has attracted her fans’ admiration and love. That’s why she has succeeded in increasing her fame in the Arab world. In fact, she has performed concerts in the biggest theaters, and she has participated in many concerts in the Arab and foreign countries. Thus, she will achieve a bright future, especially since she has been among the first singers who have come to Iraq in order to let Iraqis enjoy her songs and her beautiful voice. In fact, Iraqis have called her Myriam Al-Iraqia in order to commend her coming to Iraq. Besides, Myriam Fares has a lot of talents, such as ballet dancing and presenting musical shows, i.e. Fawazir. In fact, the diversity in her artistic work has earned the Arab audience’s recognition. That’s why people have started to call for her participation in the festivals and concerts that will take place in the Arab and foreign countries.

    Magda al-Rumi is one of the most renowned singers in the nineteenth century (it should be the twentieth). She presented genuine and prominent art in which she showed strength and romance. This is the quality of al-Rumi, who was a true artist. Today, we miss this kind of artist who considered her art as a mission with content and aims. She fulfilled her mission very well until she reached stardom to become one of the legendary stars of Arabic singing in general and Lebanese in particular. She presented works that left a great mark and remained in the memory of everyone, such as “Tawq al-Yasmin” (the Circle of Jasmine) in addition to other poems and songs she performed with her voice; some of these songs focused on several Arabic issues.

    Fairuz is a name passed on through generations. Fairuz is a singer with an angelic, strong voice that resembles the singing of the morning nightingale. This is the title which the fans of Fairuz should give her to show the beauty of the voice she has. She is a great star who reached stardom in Lebanon and the whole Arab World. She performed many beautiful, magnificent songs with her legendary peculiar voice that has lasted till this day. The voice of Fairuz always refreshes the listener and makes him or her feel the beauty of life without his or her knowledge. The reason is her beautiful voice and outstanding music that would take you to another world especially in the morning. Fairuz is considered the first Lebanese singer and the master of Lebanese singing art because we have never seen a Lebanese singer from the generation of Fairuz or the current generation that reached the same status which Fairuz occupies through her exceptional, gleeful voice. Fairuz is one of the legends of Arabic singing in general. Her voice is soft and kind, it would make you feel happy with its sweetness and calmness. You will feel that you need to listen to her in the morning. I am one of the people who are addicted to listening to her voice in the morning when I wake up because listening to her gives me energy, power, vigor and optimism. Indeed, Fairuz represents the genuine Arabic singing while the rest of singers are meaningless. Try to notice and compare between the songs that are performed nowadays which are fast and idiotic with no good lyrics or music and the songs of Fairuz. Compare them even with one song of Fairuz and you will immediately know the difference.

    Merriam Fares is a potential and talented young beautiful star.. She is a beautiful artist who has voice, dancing talent, beautiful smile and modesty. This are the best qualities an artist can have, in addition to her beautiful songs through which she earns the love and satisfaction of the audience. I think Merriam Fares is the reason for adding new rhythms to the Arabic song whether Lebanese or Khaleeji (Arabian Gulf) songs. She adopted many western rhythms into her eastern songs. She performed distinguished songs with beautiful dancing styles which she has mastered. Merriam Fares is a funny person with a beautiful spirit, she is loved by everybody and no one hates her. She does not have problems with anybody and this is why she is respected and appreciated. Fares performed many Arabic singing styles such as the Iraqi, Khaleeji, Lebanese and Egyptian. She also took part in many programs and she performed in an exemplary fashion in al-Fawazir (Ramadan’s Riddles). Through these productions she showed her talent, love for the art she presents and her aim to be a star in shows and business. Now that Fares is already one of the most famous stars, some people might criticize her because she does not sing in the same way as Fairuz or Magda al-Rumi but I think time has changed. Right now, we are a modern generation, so we look for fast songs with many rhythms and beats. Merriam Fares presents this kind of singing in which she has succeeded very well. So, why do they oppose her then, since the audience loves this style of singing and videos? I salute Merriam Fares and I love her so much. I wish her all the best of success and that she continues in performing her distinguished art. I hope she will always present the best.

    Magda al-Rumi is a respected Lebanese singer with an unusual larynx. I love and respect her because all her songs are decent and she does not sing about anything bad. Her singing videos are of the best and most beautiful quality. She is a Lebanese singer who has presented the best and greatest songs so far. She imitates other Lebanese singers, like Sabah and Fairuz. She follows the footsteps of both singers. Her career is successful, because she follows both Sabah and Fairuz in terms of good manners and respect by presenting good Arab and Lebanese songs. She has great and beautiful songs, such as “Tawq al-Yasameen,” i.e. “The Jasmine Necklace.” She challenges herself to be better and to reach a higher status. She received many prizes and took part in many concerts, operettas and national songs. She performed in many ceremonies which reflect her passion for music. Magda al-Rumi was hurt by many other singers and journalists, but that is normal and it happens to any famous artist who has reached that level of sophistication. Those who criticize her are only jealous; they just express what they think and nothing more. Magda al-Rumi comes from a respected family that is famous for its record of achievements. Magda’s family is artistic and they have a long history in art. So, what some people say about Magda, that she does not have any achievements, is not true at all. I pray to God to bless her with goodness and success. I hope she ignores any kind of criticism, because she is a classy, great artist; I really love her for her good manners, songs and her great music that expresses feelings. I love her great voice. May God make her successful in everything she does! Amen, O Lord of the Worlds!

    The songs of Fairuz express love, sadness and tender feelings. The minute you hear her voice, you will calm down quickly, because the tone of her voice is unusual. She has a very rare larynx and I have never heard anyone like her in my life. To this day, I like to listen to her voice. Whenever I miss the songs and films of the past, I always watch the films and songs of Fairuz. I love her song “Ya Mersal al-Maraseel,” i.e. “O Postman.” I love all her songs, but this song expresses true genuine love, feelings, tenderness and elegance. I will never forget her. I have been dreaming about meeting her but sadly I could not. Fairuz has numerous stands in helping and giving charity. She is still alive, thank God. I pray to God to give her a long life filled with health and safety. She is a pride to Lebanon and Arabs. She is different from all singers in the Arab world. No other singer has succeeded in reaching the status of Fairuz. “Bayaa al-Khawatim,” i.e. “The Seller of Rings,” is one of her most beautiful films. I pray to God to bless her with goodness and success. God willing, she will always be the first singer. If they launch a competition for the best, sweetest and kindest old and modern singer, I would choose Fairuz. No matter how many songs and films Sabah presents, she will never reach the status of the first Arab singer, Fairuz. She is respected by everybody; all artists respect her when they meet her. All the famous Arab singers have met Fairuz in person. She is like a rare piece of jewelry, so it is hard to leave or forget her. The Iraqi singer Kazim al-Saher is another representative of the Arabic song. I envy him because he has met Fairuz. I pray for her and for every person that loves her to be blessed by God with goodness and wellbeing. God willing, all the Arabs will succeed, wherever they are!

    Many words can be said about the Lebanese singer Fairuz: the Arab and International artist, the delicate voice, the sensitive feelings, mercy, tenderness, kindness of the heart, the morning sparrows, the singing of birds, the roar of water, the strength of the mountain, the ability to love, the feelings and good taste. All those words do not express everything about this sophisticated, innovative and elegant artist. The genuine Lebanese performer Fairuz has a kind heart; she has a great delicate taste and an expressive voice. Her voice is legendary; there is nothing like that voice. There is no voice like hers. Also, the characteristics that distinguish her are not in any other artist or performer. She has the sweetest voice in the Arab world. She is great in choosing her songs and music. Her voice is enough; she does not even need music. I love her very, very much. I remember when I was young, my family and relatives started their day by listening to Fairuz. The first thing they heard after waking up was the voice of Mrs. Fairuz, because the radio used to broadcast the songs of Fairuz in the morning. If you hear her voice in the morning, your day will be beautiful, calm and relaxed. I do the same even after growing up; I do what my family and relatives did when I was young.

    Merriam Farres is a lovable, young and sweet artist. I am one of her biggest fans because she is good-looking and she has a good nature too. Her songs are beautiful and great. Her lyrics express love, feelings, sadness, love of her nation and everything about life. I love and respect her, because she is one of the Lebanese singers who preserve the essence of Lebanese art. She expresses her talent and her love of songs and art. She is also a wonderful dancer; she can dance ballet. Everything about her is just wonderful and classy. She is one of the best Arab singers who represents her country everywhere. I respect her because her songs and singing videos are wonderful and classy. She is an artist with many talents, such as singing and dancing. She can also perform all Arabic dialects, such as the Khaleeji, i.e. the Arabic Gulf dialect. Her last Khaleeji song, “Min Ayony,” i.e. “As you wish,” is wonderful and very beautiful. She can also sing in the Iraqi dialect. The Iraqis call her the Iraqi Merriam. She performed her best songs when she visited Iraq. She has a very good and high taste. Iraqis love her already. They call her the Iraqi Merriam because they want her to visit Iraq again. Iraqis want to listen to her again because they love her so much. She picked an Iraqi song which she will record soon. I pray to God to always make her successful. Hopefully she will always be the best singer. She performed the best and most sophisticated songs for her people. She was criticized in the papers and magazines, but that happens to every artist; they are used to that. Some Arab singers said bad things about her as well. She performed in many festivals and public and private concerts. She is a respected singer with a beautiful voice. She looks beautiful all the time and she did not have any plastic surgeries. She is the most beautiful and sweetest singer for us. Her performance of Ramada Riddles, al-Fawazir, was outstanding, sensitive and classy.

    She is a performer and nothing more. She is a disgrace to Arab performance, because her work is a failure. Her shows are pornographic and bad. Yes, she is a ballet dancer but she needs to behave. Miriam Faris is out of line. Her songs and video clips call for obscenity. She is a singer from southern Lebanon who used to sing in weddings and alleys. I cannot stand her, because her performance does not represent Arab or Lebanese art. Lebanese art has a great history. All the Lebanese singers are respected, but Miriam Faris has transgressed all the boundaries. She does not represent Lebanese art at all. The best proof is what was written about her in the papers, such as the disgraceful articles. I pray to God to bless the Lebanese people except for her, because she does not deserve it. The one who deserves blessings is the person who benefits his/her country and gives it a good reputation. Unfortunately, Miriam Faris only brings shame and disgrace to Lebanese art. May God guide her!
