ماري محفوظ تفتح النار: إليسا “تنشّز”.. وائل كفوري يحتاج تدريبًا و ناصيف زيتون و الشامي "بعد بكير"

Mary Mahfouz Speaks Out: Elissa Sings Off-Sound... Wael Kfoury Needs Training, and Nassif Zeytoun and Al Shami Are Too Early for It Vocal coach Mary Mahfouz was a guest on this episode of the "Hawakom Podcast" with journalist Yasmine Bou Diab. Mahfouz, a familiar face to the generation of talent shows, offered a frank critique of the current music scene. She didn't just reminisce about talent shows; she also subjected several A-list stars and rising talents to technical evaluation. Money and Production Don't Create a Successful Voice Mahfouz began by emphasizing that vocal care and continuous training are essential for any artist, regardless of their fame. She criticized the excessive reliance on big-budget productions, music videos, and visual effects at the expense of genuine performance, considering the neglect of vocal exercises, or "vocalization," a "crime" against both talent and the audience. Direct criticism of Wael Kfoury, Elissa, and Najwa Karam With her characteristic candor, Mahfouz offered direct technical observations to several stars: Regarding Wael Kfoury, she stated that he is among the artists most in need of continuous vocal training, explaining that tenor voices require constant maintenance of their vocal cords to avoid slipping in high notes. As for Elissa, she praised her intelligence in song selection but criticized the phenomenon of off-key singing in her live performances, emphasizing that international standards do not tolerate such technical errors. She advised Najwa Karam against straining her voice with strong back notes, believing that this could negatively affect vocal flexibility with age. Rahma Riad and Al-Shami… “The step came too soon” Speaking about judging panels and talent shows, Mahfouz felt that Rahma Riad and Nassif Zeytoun rushed into coaching and judging, considering that this role requires extensive technical experience, not just popularity and stardom. She also commented on the phenomenon of Shami, warning against his reliance on vocal registers that don't suit his voice. She said that continuing to "shout" could threaten the continuation of his artistic career in the coming years. Fairouz... "An exceptional case that will not be repeated" Mahfouz spoke emotionally about Fairouz, considering her a unique artistic phenomenon that is difficult to replicate. She also expressed her disappointment with the Lebanese state for failing to honor this artistic icon in a manner befitting her legacy while she is still alive. Tips for Maintaining Vocal Quality and Longevity The vocal coach concluded the meeting by offering a set of technical tips for maintaining vocal quality and ensuring an artist's longevity, most notably: 1. Getting enough sleep, at least 9 hours a day. 2. Sticking to the appropriate vocal register and not imitating others. 3. Avoiding excessive late nights and physical exhaustion, as these have a direct impact on vocal performance. This meeting is considered one of the most prominent episodes that addressed the technical aspects of voice and singing with boldness and clarity, far removed from the common courtesies prevalent in the artistic community. =============================================================== Subscribe below and never miss a video | Subscribe to the channel https://shorturl.at/ii5da Follow us on | Follow us on Facebook:   / hawacom.tv   Instagram:   / hawacom.tv   TikTok:   / hawacomtv   X: https://x.com/Hawacom_TV Website: https://hawacom.tv/ Hawacom is an entertainment website that aims to provide engaging content, free from scandal, reflecting modern trends while also showcasing classic works from a bygone era.
