Broadcaster Amr Adib described singer Sherine Abdel Wahab as a unique artistic and human phenomenon that “will never be repeated,” praising her sincerity, spontaneity and distinctive closeness to the public despite the crises and setbacks she has endured.
Closeness to the public
Adib said Sherine represents the model of a “real-deal” Egyptian girl, appearing to the public as someone close to them, like a sister or cousin.
He attributed this closeness to what he said were Sherine’s sincerity and spontaneity, as well as her distance from pretence or affectation—qualities he said had given her a unique and distinctive standing among the public.
She is a one-of-a-kind phenomenon
Praise that goes beyond the artistic dimension
Adib’s praise was not limited to the artistic side, as he also focused on the human qualities in Sherine’s personality, saying her uniqueness lies in the combination of her artistic presence and spontaneous nature.
He noted that the crises and setbacks she had gone through had not changed his view of her as a figure close to ordinary people, before concluding by stressing that she was a unique phenomenon that could not be repeated.
