On a hopeful note, Asmahan is still remembered more than 50 years after her death, and in spite of her short life. Singers like Abdelhaleem, Abdelwahab, Fareed al Atrash and Om Kulthoom are still remembered years after their death, and their music is still very much alive. This should prove to us that true talent is timeless, especially if it is a legacy like that of the great Rahbanis and Fairouz. Once the dust of the shababi wave settles, it will be very clear to everyone who the true Arab artists are. Time will prove which songs and which singers would still be remembered ten or twenty or even fifty years from now.
Youth is about beauty, romance and strength.
This state of chaos and confusion on all fronts, is bound to lead to devastation.
