love that Talal song, even though my fav from him would very now and again. At the moment it's Zaman Al-Samt.

..

Samira's beauty is uncanny

She and Hayam Younes (even though i don't care 4 the latter) were the ultimate dream 2 men back in their hay day for they captured the essence of beauty and flirtation.

What made Samira superiour though was that she made good films that had good music AND beauty so you can watch and listen

P.S. The male version for women was Hussain Jassem

His son has an album out now btw (which i didn't like it whatsoever)



the resemblance between'em is uncanny though

Arabic music is SO damn corny and pretentious today.

I cannot tell the difference between which from who,,,,,and its frustrating to say the least becoz alot of those young singers actually do have GOOD voices. But the materials are just horrible.
