#2 Lol! This is standard fare on Saudi TV - or was when I was there. They have some youngster doing a recitation on-air everyday, at least one. It's is the Saudi Arabian Idol competition, in its way. Consider the pinnacle, the Frank Sinatra of Saudi Arabia is the guy who does the prime-time howling in Mecca...

On the Bahrani side, I wonder if "King" Khalifa hires the winner to howl prayers on his private island, which you pass (it's on your left) when taking the Causeway in from Saudi. The PM's island is the one on the right. Then, on the other hand, I couldn't care less, lol!
