I do not imagine that Sherine, when she asked, at her last concert, the fans of the brotherly State of Kuwait about their opinion of Hossam Habib, she was really waiting for an answer other than this flood of disapproval that echoed strongly in the sides of the stage as soon as she heard his name. I think it was an indirect message from Sherine to Hussam, even He realizes that his whole life is moving at a sign from her, and no one rules out another scenario, in that relationship that is always moving on a hot tin surface.
Sherine is a master of contradictions that always turns in a moment at an angle of 180 degrees, and I imagine her after the fact that she went to Fadl Shaker’s hideout in Ain al-Hilweh in southern Lebanon. We have to expect everything from her. An artist wanted for justice on charges that it is difficult to overlook, taking up arms against those who are different religiously and sectarianly. Public figures usually avoid suspicions, but Sherine is always aroused by embracing suspicions.
The audience forgives a lot. This is true. I once said that Sherine has a blank check of love. The evidence is that the public turnout for her concerts was not negatively affected. She used it as she called, for example, her ex-husband before returning to his marriage. People tolerated her, or at least this is what appears on the surface.
Did the audience change and put a margin between the artist and his personal behavior? The iron fortress that they were keen on in the past was destroyed. The artist no longer resides inside (a window) surrounded by glass and it is forbidden to touch or approach. Now the rug has become Ahmadi.
The public has other equations in receiving, it only searches for pleasure and forgets the past, even if Saad is just, despite the multiplicity of cases accusing him of the most heinous crime in the world, which is rape, but it does not differentiate with his broad audience, it is true that in theory he did not receive a final verdict of conviction and imprisonment, But until now, his name has not been completely exonerated either, like Fadl Shaker and his being under house arrest and residing in a hideout in southern Lebanon, this definitely confirms that he still does not carry the deed of innocence in his hand. Marriage in order not to shock the feelings of his fans.
When the great journalist Mustafa Amin in 1946 conducted an interview with Umm Kulthum when announcing her engagement to the musician Mahmoud Al-Sharif, and asked her whether she would continue singing after (he wrote the book)?, She told him what he wanted, this answer was enough to open the gates of hell for her, just because there A man must obtain his consent first, and immediately (the headline) came the following week to Mustafa Amin (Funeral of Love) and the story ended. The audience said no, Umm Kulthum will not marry a man who obtains his permission. Umm Kulthum in the conscience of her audience is public property. People no longer care about her more or less in this personal aspect, looking for the moment only, and this is what Sherine is living now, and no one will hold her accountable. But for a while, just as she placed Hossam under the guillotine of Sherine’s audience, it is possible that she will also find herself under the guillotine of the same audience!!
