The participation of actresses of popular singers or festival singers provoked different reactions between acceptance and criticism, and perhaps Yasmine Rais and Somaya al-Khashab's experience of this is one of the things that caused a very big controversy.
In the same context, female singers participated with actors in songs closer to festivals, as Haifa Wehbe did, with comedian Akram Hosni, in the clip "If I was", which was recently presented, and these participations encouraged others to think of a very different duet between the two parties, as the Lebanese artist announced Maya Diab presenting a duet with the popular singer Mahmoud El-Leithi.
Egyptian singer Mohamed Shaheen announced the presentation of a duet in cooperation with festivals singer Hamo Beka.
"My love"
The most prominent attack was the participation of the artist Yasmine Rais, who recently released the clip “Habibi” with singer Hassan Shakoush, to provoke a state of criticism, especially after her recent success in the series “Maluk Al Jadana” and achieving wide popularity.
Followers of Yasmine on social media described her making this clip, saying that she had offended her previous successes, and that she was a distinguished actress with a special character, audience and followers.
Some followers also accused Shakoush of taking advantage of Yasmine's last success, and that he was not appropriate to appear with her after she was a hero in front of Amr Saad and Mustafa Shaaban, and on the voice of Ahmed Saad in "Kings of Al-Jada'ana".
Hammer
Yasmine Rais was forced to respond directly to all these accusations and said in statements to her through her official pages on social networking sites, that she is not afraid of experiments and adventure, no matter how risks, and on the contrary, she likes to present herself as an artist capable of doing all kinds of different arts, and she found her participation in popular singing with Hassan. Shakoush is a distinctive and new experience, especially since it is not her first experience in singing, as she previously sang in the movie "Sheikh Jackson", as well as the song for the movie "Hepta".
As for Somaya al-Khashab and Omar Kamal, they released their song "Promise You", to be Somaya's first song in the world of folk festivals, despite her professionalism in singing and providing many experiences at the Egyptian and Arab levels in the form of singles and clips in the Egyptian and Gulf dialects, and she also presented a popular song, "Bilhalal" with Ahmed Saad for her series, which bore the same name.
Somaya al-Khashab told "Emirates Today" that she loved the experience very much, and she tends to happy happy songs that carry positive energy, because optimism and entertainment are one of the most important messages of art, and she is also a fan of the voice of singer Omar Kamal, and the work was from her artistic vision, and she is completely satisfied with it. Somaya was not angry at the criticism and said: “It is normal for any successful business to have different reactions, especially if it is an unconventional experience. All works of art.
Somaya indicated that she was sad because of the tragic end of the character of "their sweetness" in the series "Musa", and the audience grieved for her, so she wanted to present a joyful work after that.
quarrels
Although the song received some approval and some criticism as well, the most important thing is that the differences between Al-Khashab and Kamal after its presentation regarding the profits of the show, where Kamal accused Somaya of having abandoned him and no longer talking to him after the song was presented, although he has been one of her followers for a long time.
Kamal indicated that the song could have achieved tens of times of follow-up and viewing if the cooperation had been done correctly between him and Somaya, but this did not happen for reasons he does not know.
Critics' opinion
On the other hand, some critics see the tendency of drama stars to present popular singing as a “fashion” and it will end.
Art critic Ahmed Al-Najjar said that popular festivals, against everyone’s will, have become the talk of the street and have the lion’s share of the gains, and they are at the forefront of the scene on the musical scene, and the trend of actresses or artists to participate in festival stars or popular singers is a state of keeping pace with the situation and entering new and different experiences that may accept success or Failure, although I am not a supporter of it because it did not add anything to either actresses or festival singers at all, each of them is more successful without the other, and the cooperation has not caused any significant advantage so far.
