Ahlam just doesn't give up, does she? Just when we thought UAE singer Ahlam had put the whole "Yasmina" drama behind her, she was at it again!
Yasmina is a 15-year-old contestant on Arabs Got Talent, who, with her big voice and tremendous talent, gained millions of fans since appearing on the talent show this month. Unfortunately, she's also gained some harsh criticism from Ahlam, who accused her of having a "strong voice that lacks any emotions."
The AGT judges quickly came to the aspiring singer's defense, describing her voice as "amazing" and encouraging her to "have faith in her talent."
Meanwhile, Egyptian superstar Hani Shaker couldn't get away from Ahlam's vicious attacks for asking his fans to support Yasmina.
The spiteful singer's response to Hani was, "Let those who want to respond and write to me do so. If you're not an expert on real art, how are you teaching it to them? When Hani Shaker, a descendant of the late legendary singer Abdel Halim Hafez's music, asked his fans to support her (Yasmina), he didn't say that she has a good voice and I dare him to say that her voice is actually that good."
Seriously, what has Ahlam got against the poor little girl?
In response to "Queen" Ahlam's challenging comments, Hani wrote, "Recently, attacks against the young girl Yasmina, who is only 15 years of age, have become so intense since her appearance on the Arabs Got Talent stage. I see the attacks against her are coming from Egypt and oversees, and I'm against them. She has a promising voice and talent, and is in need of our support. There is no reason in launching attacks against her at such a young age. I wish that everyone would support, instead of attack her. I send her all my wishes for success."
Funnily enough, Ahlam only found a friend in Syrian superstar Asala, who said, "I find it really strange when someone is attacked for their personal opinion; it's as if those attackers want life to go their way! Ahlam has the right to say whatever she wants. Even the most beautiful of voices might not be to everyone's taste. I wish we would learn to respect each others' opinions or at least reject them politely."
As for the girl with the big voice, she's an equally big heart and has chosen to take the high road and stay clear of Ahlam's way.
"I won't answer her back," Yasmina said, referring to Ahlam. "I'm too young to answer her back and convinced that the differences in our opinions will not ruin my real goal here. I will try my best to prove to her my talent and what I'm capable of," she added.
