READER COMMENTS

I am fond of this beautiful young artist who is presenting beautiful songs. Day after day, I adore her more, because I find that she is really ambitious and assiduous. She is determined to make all her dreams come true. She is also singing beautiful songs and stands next to great artists to sing with them and to be an extension of the classical and original art.

Shahad Barmada is no more than a Super Star TV program graduate who came to prominence when she co-performed with the wonderful superstar Kazem Saher, who was the main reason the audience listened to her. In fact, she lacks a good singing voice range that would enable her to continue performing, since many songstresses are taking advantage of their physical shape in order to become popular. In fact, this is what happens in the music realm nowadays. I personally do not expect that the Syrian songstress Shahad Barmada will succeed; she will be just a summer cloud. Thus, she can neither continue nor perform well. It is better for her to follow another way, so that she does not give too much to something that she cannot excel at. In fact, people must no longer flatter everyone who enters the music realm, just for the sake of flattering. They must express the correct opinion and criticize those who do not meet the required level. Such artists must withdraw immediately, in order to avoid giving a poor and bad performance and whatever does not enjoy the artistic and music taste. In addition, songstresses must rely on themselves and on their voices, rather than on their faces and bodies or appearing with celebrities in order to achieve fame and stardom, given that it is a very short way that cannot last for a long time, come what may. Therefore, Shahad Barmada should get interested in something that is better for her, since she has not reached the required level, since many other songstresses are better than she is.

The opportunity that the Syrian singer Shahad Barmada got, when she sang with the great Iraqi singer Kazem al-Sahar, is a big dream for many artists, because they want to stand by the Caesar of Arabic singing, Kazem al-Sahar. I don’t believe that there is anything nicer than having the opportunity to make one’s dream come true. Many thanks to Kazem al-Sahar, this magnanimous and great artist who gave Shahad the opportunity to sing with him and make her dream come true.

Shahad is really one of the most beautiful Syrian singers. In fact, I love all her songs and artistic works. This artist deserves all the Arab audiences’ trust and appreciation. Her famous song is “Halati Hala,” because it is a mixture of Gulf and Bedouin music. Shahad has said that this is a standard dialect which is very close to the Iraqi style, especially since the lyrics were written by Karim Al-Iraqi. In fact, Shahad is influenced by authentic Iraqi art and songs. That is why she has chosen Karim Al-Iraqi to write the lyrics, especially since she loves the Iraqi tunes. In fact, she has said that she loves this song, which is very close to her. She has also said that she has gotten the opportunity to sing in the Opera Festival in Egypt, where she has performed a song of Warda Al-Jazairia and a song of Om Kalthoum, “Amal Hayati.” She has also had two opportunities to sing with Kathem Al-Saher. And she has expressed her hope of success for all the Arabs. Shahad also hopes to develop herself. Thus, we wish continuous success to this singer, because she has great talents and she deserves to be a future star in the Arab world, especially since she can perform all the authentic Arab dialects, such as Egyptian, Iraqi, and other dialects.

I believe that the Syrian songstress, Shahd Barmada, has been lucky to perform and sing with the great Kathem Al Saher. This helped her fame a lot. This has been her dream, of course; to sing with a wonderful elegant singer like Kathem Al Saher, who achieved great stardom during his long journey. The young Syrian songstress, Shahd Barmada, has achieved great success in the Arab arena with her wonderful voice and her good looks. She has gained broad fame through her participation in the Star Academy TV program, which enabled her to achieve her other dream, as she sang many songs. She achieved dazzling success and also achieved many of her dreams, especially standing by the side of the wonderful singer, Kathem Al Saher, and singing with him. This has also been a reason behind achieving fame. When anyone sings with the star, Kathem Al Saher, he/she achieves dazzling, unparalleled success. Therefore, the artist Shahd Barmada got the fame and success she deserved, because she also has a passionate and tender voice that gets to the heart. We hope she achieves continuous success and always makes good choices without failures.

By God, Shahad Barmada is one of the most famous and beautiful Syrian female artists. She is one of the participants in the Super Star Show, where she said that the wish of her life is to sing with the Caesar of Iraq, the great artist, Kathem Al Saher. Her wish came true. She prays for all the betterment and success for Kathem in his work. She has a famous song entitled “Halati Hala,” which was a mixture between Gulf and Bedouin singing. Shahad said that this is called the white dialect, and I think the song is closer to the Iraqi style, because the lyrics of the songs were originally written by the artistic poet, Karim al-Iraqi. When I heard the song, I felt that it was close to me; I love it very much. Shahad Barmada is influenced by the Iraqi art and the Iraqi words, because such words express the self and the soul. Barmada said: “A chance was given to me during the festival of the Egyptian Opera, as I performed a song originally by the Algerian singer Warda, and the song ’Amal Hayaty,’ which is one of the songs of the Star of the East, Umm Kalthum. I had two other chances as well to stand by the side of the Caesar, Kathem Al Saher. I pray that God would grant all Arabs all good luck and success. I want to develop more, to achieve the same success achieved by other great artists, such as the Caesar, Kathem Al Saher, the Star of the East, Umm Kalthum, and other pioneers.”

The Syrian singer, Shahad Barmada, has gained fame through the Star Academy show. She realized her dream through her participation with the wonderful Iraqi singer, Kathem Al Saher. She has a wonderful and tender voice, and she has the ability to perform genuine singing and to perform unique works. I hope the Syrian singer, Shahad Barmada, achieves success and gets fame and stardom by preserving her singing style and by choosing the best lyrics and music and ways of shooting her music videos. She is very good looking, which helps many female singers in our present time. As such, the singer Shahad Barmada has to learn about the ways and the basis of art from the great singers in order to take what is best from them.

The young artist, Shahad Barmada, is a Syrian artist with legitimate artistic dreams. Since her arrival in the artistic singing arena, she proved to everyone that she is a promising young singer taking steady steps in order to get to the stardom she is aspiring to. In my opinion, the artist Shahad Barmada has a delicate, fine voice. In spite of the small number of songs that she has performed, she is really one of the artists who I predict will achieve a wonderful singing career. Singing with the “Caesar of Arab singing,” Kathem Al Saher, helped with that, as he added a lot to her fame and stardom. Her dream came true at this opportunity, which allowed her to meet the artist Kathem Al Saher. She has successful artistic qualifications and she had a strong presence in the Arab singing arena through some songs where she tries to mix her beautiful dialect with the Gulf dialect, which is no less beautiful than the Syrian dialect. As such, she’s trying to break the restrictive rule of singing in only one Arabic dialect. Instead, she aims for diversity in music and dialects, which is one of the good and positive things the singer Shahad Barmada has. She is a female artist with special qualifications which add a lot to her art and her personality. She is successful in dealing with the songs she chooses regarding the beautiful lyrics and the hopeful, comforting melodies. She has great qualifications regarding performance and facing the camera, which requires a lot of skill. I believe that the beautiful artist, Shahad Barmada, has this potential and this possibility, which added a lot of fans and admirers of this beautiful voice to her artistic qualifications. She is a successful female singer and has started gaining fame and attracting many followers and lovers of the singing acts she is performing.

Shahad Barmada is one of the most famous Syrian artists and the most beautiful indeed. She is one of the participants in the Super Star program. In a meeting with Shah d, she said that her life’s wish was to sing with the Iraqi Emperor, the great artist Kazem Al Saher, and that her wish had come true. She wished Kazem all the best and success in his work, and she has a famous song known as “Halati Hala,” i.e. “I Am in Such a State,” and it is a mixture between the Gulf and the Bedouin styles. Shahd said that she felt that the tone of the song was very close to her and that she loved it very much. Barmada added: “I had a chance at the Egyptian Opera Festival and I performed in front of the public a song for the Algerian singer Mrs. Warda, and the song ‘Amal Hayati – my life’s wish’ to Um Kalthoum, and I had two chances to sing with the Emperor Kazem Al Saher. I wish all the Arabs all the best and success and, for myself, I would like to further improve.” Our role is to congratulate Shahad and to wish her continuous success.

The artist Shahad Barmada is one of the most important and prominent participants in the most famous and popular programs, Star Academy. This program is viewed by all young people and families in the Arab world. Shahad Barmada dreamt of singing alongside artist Kazem El Saher. The latter is one of the best artists. He has a great career and he has achieved international fame. Singing with Kazem Al Saher is not that easy, as many singers wish to have a duet with him. Asking for Kazem El Saher’s opinion is difficult and singing with him is all the more difficult. As Shahad is a talented singer, she sang along with Kazem El Saher and gave a stunning performance. She impressed the entire audience. Congratulations to her on her success, and thanks to the great artist Kazem El Saher, who always supports young people.

The language of this article is not mature. It probably is a poorly translated one, which makes the form and the content a good match for each other! What is the meaning of “Shahad Baramda's … of singing with … came true”? Or “… I was fluttering … out of sheer happiness.” What is the purpose of having “sheer” in this sentence?
