The results for this season of Arab SuperStar have just been announced and the 3rd Arab SuperStar is Ibrahim El Hakami from Saudi Arabia. Congratulations to Ibrahim El Hakami, he really deserves it. I wish him the very best in his musical career. Personally, I'm happy he won, as he's the one I wanted between the two. Shahd has a great voice, maybe the best of them all in this season, but it's not just the voice that makes the artist, it's also his personality and his loyalty.

The results for the tenth prime of the Future Arab SuperStar finals were just announced, and one of the candidates had to leave. It seems like Aymen Lasseeg thought of withdrawing today after he got feedback from Tunisia that people were not able to vote all night long yesterday and early today. He only cooled down when he heard that the lines were opened at around 11AM today. Anyway, it seems it was a bit too late because the contestant who had to leave today was: Aymen Lasseeg (Tunisia). I wasn't expecting this result, and as I said before, I...

Just got home from the airport, so I obviously missed this week's prime too :( I do know that the guest in this episode was Khaleeji star Abdallah Rweishid. I'll be waiting for the bits that they put on Future TV for the voting so I can catch some of the performances. That's until ZlatkoT hopefully gets to provide sound files for the performances that we can download and listen to. Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if the people who did catch the episode could share their ideas on it and sort of post a review of it....

The results for the first prime of the Future SuperStar finals were just announced. The dream ended for one of the contestants and they had to leave. Ayman started by announcing that the one to leave was one of the girls, and then started by elimination until two were left. I expected a Tunisian to leave in this prime, and I was right, the two who got the least votes were Tunisians: Yosra Hamzaoui and Asma Othmani, who both got negative feedback from the jury last night. And the candidate who had to leave was... Yosra Hamzaoui. Her performance wasn't...

Today was the first episode of the 2005 season Arab SuperStar on Future TV. As a big music fan, this must be the only talent show I ever look forward to.

As for the judges, the three judges of last year Elias Rahbani, Fadia Tanab and Abdullah Al G'ood remained and Lebanese composer Ziad Boutros joined them.
