Future Arab SuperStar

The first episode of Super Star 4 has started on January 14 2007, the show starts of with a recap of how the arab world’s favourite show returns to find a new singing star despite showing many BAD singers!

The audition cities shown tonight are: Tunis, Montreal, Toronto, Detroit & Los Angeles

The show has mostly really bad auditions, only very few successful candidates are shown this year compared to ALL successful candidates being shown last year along with their name and country at the bottom of the screen. In Tunis, there was two identical twins who sang Oyoun El Soud really well, but when they sang alone they were SUPER MAHDOUM! One of the funnier bad auditions was the boy from Tunis singing while beating his shoe box. Three females made it to the next round from this episode.
One of the most sung songs at Super Star 4 auditions was Wa Wa by Haifa Wehbe, one man sang it tragically well.

The first successful candidate from Tunis was a tiny tiny boy who sang Mistaniyek and the judges thought was not of legal audition age of 15, but his mother convinced them that he is 15. I personally thought he wasn’t that good as his voice will change quite a lot when he gets older.

The Los Angeles auditions were not that good at all except for one girl who had a very strong american accent when speaking arabic, no Haitam El Shoumali’s or Ahmed El Faleh’s this year.

In Detroit there was a VERY good male singer with a blue shirt, but Ziad did not think he was up to it, such a shame. The first successful candidate was Camillia who sang Insaa from Oum Koulthoum then I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston she was good but has more looks than voice, in Ziad’s words she was “SMOKIN’”.

Toronto and Montreal didn’t produce many good singers from what I saw, the rest of the show was full of crazy, mental and bad singers. Other auditions will be shown tomorrow here in Australia, hopefully it will be a bit better.

PS sorry to be so late it’s been a busy week!
