In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
15. Say, "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have fear of the penalty of a Mighty Day."
16. On that day, if the penalty is averted from any, it is due to God's Mercy, and that would be the obvious fulfillment of all desire.
17. If Allah touch you with affliction, none can remove it but God. If God touch you with happiness, God has power over all things.
18. God is the Irresistible, from above God's worshipers, and God is the Wise, Acquainted with all things.
19. Say, "What thing is most weighty in evidence?" Say, "Allah is witness between you and me. This Qur'an has been revealed to me by inspiration, that I may warn you and all whom it reaches. Can you bear witness that besides Allah there is another God?" Say, "No! I cannot bear witness!" Say, "But in truth God is the One God, and I truly am innocent of joining others with God."
(The Cattle 6:15-19)

Snort, growl and snarl
Hi Natty! How are you feeling? Aw don't be sad, my love. You are MY girl, and you are so beautiful, and I love you so much. I want you to be happy and happy with me. So please try to relax and have fun, and don't forget to pray. Oh, it's life in the Public Eye over here. It's tourist season again, and I have to deal with the many visitors who are in sight plus the multiple more that try to stay out of sight. But I'm used to it inshaAllah. I've been doing this business for almost 40 years now. Lately, YouTube has been putting in line for me to watch some chick singers who snort, growl and snarl like the death metal bands of the 80s and 90s. Pretty girls too, and they dress beautifully. But when they open their mouths to sing, out come snorts, growls, and snarls. Since there are quite a few of them, I suppose it must be some sort of contemporary music. I can snort, growl and snarl too, but it doesn't go with anything in my set. And these girls aren't really going their own way either, because they're obviously following the guys who did vocals like that in death metal bands decades ago. I can imagine though, when these lovely ladies become mothers and answer their kids when the kids ask, "Mommy, can I have another Tootsie roll?"
As for the serious competition, they seem to be children with phenomenal talent. Sure there are some awesome adult singers out there, but the talented ones don't seem to be working as hard as these children (or their guardians, rather) who seem to have a huge output of videos. Pay attention to Angelina Jordan, who is 12 years old, but was 7 when she did this video. No, I don't follow everything she does. 12 year old girls like to flirt, and I find that irritating.
If they can maintain their pace and keep their sanity, some of these child singers will become superstars. The advantage these kids have is that they are naturally pure, while I had to earn my purity. Their disadvantage is that they have plenty of time and opportunity to become insane, while I have already gone mad.
