Bilal Sabry defends Mostafa Kamel amid vocal performance controversy

Producer Bilal Sabry has publicly defended Mostafa Kamel, the head of the Musicians Syndicate, following recent criticism regarding Kamel’s vocal performance. The controversy arose after claims that Kamel’s singing was “off-key” during a performance.

Sabry questioned the timing and motives behind the criticism, noting that Kamel has a long-standing career and has contributed significantly to the syndicate by helping members secure pensions and employment. He also pointed to Kamel’s popularity in Saudi Arabia, citing the support of Turki Alalshikh and the Saudi public as evidence of his enduring professional status.

Sabry emphasized that a single performance should not define an artist’s entire career, suggesting that work pressures or external circumstances could affect a singer's voice on any given night. He concluded by highlighting Kamel’s legacy as a major figure in the industry whose songwriting has been used by numerous superstars.
