If you had asked me two years ago what do I think of Om-Kulthoom I would have told you how I devalue her songs and her voice, I was often told that when I “grow up” I’m going to change my mind, and that my opinion shows emotional immaturity. I must say that I never liked black and white Arabic movies either, in fact, I can’t stand Arabic movies in general and more than 90% of Arabic singers and actors/actresses.
