Darbooka and ‘Oud …


nominees ahmad and mohammad khalwai

Did you guess who the nominees this week are? Maybe you were right, maybe you were wrong … but even if the nominees had guessed it would be them, it was a surprise …
This week two nominees have been chosen “as usual”, and this week the nominees were two guys … Tunisian Ahmad Sherif and Saudi Mohammad Khalawi.

Ahmad Sherif is a 24 year old Tunisian from the Tunisian city of Sfax. He is good looking and has a nice voice; he also is good at playing the “darbooka”.
Mohammad Khalawi is a 25 year old Saudi, better known as “el-za’eem”. He has a good sense of humor and is very good at playing the ‘oud.

Who do you think is going to leave the academy on Friday night?
Who will you vote for?

    I like khalawy and sometimes a7mad, but I think a7mad didn't work hard this week. Anyway, I hope that khalawy stay cause I'm going to the next prime, and also to eliminate Bachar who I hate very much (Didn't u see, he didn't mention Sofia's name even once, Is this is the love that everybody is talking about?).......

    I miss u SoPHiiiiii...very much hope we can see u again sweety..........

    iam only mad at those teachers who named bashar...why? he sang well he didnt yell or missbehave since he was a nominee....they keep saying they want the student to concintrate on the voice not acting he did just that but yet.... and to those who say why ahmad??? why not...if they can put his name 2 times and get him out is better cuz he didnt sing, disrespected the teachers by not finishing the evaluation and not attended the classes and he himself said i am a nominee and i wish to go home he was happy about it....i admit he have a great voice but he dont perfom well not even behave well....simpley careless....bashar....he made a mistake once and he payed the price why do you guys keep mentioning it all the time..atleast he didnt yell at the teachers like mohamad atia and ahmad...we all dont know the real thing between bash and sofia....it could be all an act....i dont think he loves her or she loves him they both are using eachother for more fans....
    but i love bash and i'll vote for him because he's talented in many ways

  1. tasIMania | March 10, 2004 12:47 AM

    I can't skip the great talent that bachar have. But talent is not enough to make a real star... a real star must have politeness...unfortunately, bachar don't have that thing in general,but khalawi is talented and polite too. I think he is the real star in my opinion.

    go go Khalawy STARAC..
    we miss u SoPHiiiiii...very much hope we can see u again sweety..........

    Anyway I love Bachar no matter what, he is a REAL star, even tho i think Mohammad Attieh has to be the star, BACHAR IS #2 at least, he is better than Ahmad, Ahmad is too stuck up + he lookes like a monkey-why does everybody love him??? please re asap. luv u guys and love STARACADEMY and of course BACHARNO BACHARNO!!! love you!!!!!

    hi.this is a big task both of them i want them to stay.this time i think AHMAD should stay because my love to him is more than khalawi.please teachers dont put mohammed attieh as a nominee he is the candle of staracademy.HE IS THE ONE WHO MADE US TO LOVE THIS PROGRAMME.

    manal
  1. lamyaa | March 10, 2004 10:03 AM

    i vote to khalawi because he deserves to stay in academy, he's polite, he has a tact and i love his laugh very much. i want to say to every body here please don't insult noone of them because we should support them not insult them, also we should keep in mind that's it's not easy to stay in a place months and months without your family your friends it's normal to lose control sometimes.
    so please be patient with them, encourage them and noone has the rights to judge them cruelly like that. go go khalawi and i love u bahaa.

    lamyaa
  1. nene | March 10, 2004 10:26 AM

  1. nicole | March 10, 2004 3:12 PM

    hiiiiiiiiiiiii everybody im nicole from lebanon and i vote to m kalawi because he has talent more than ahmad and also his voice is better than ahmad he has the strongest voice with bahaa

    its o.k that ahmad is very cute and i like him but pleaze be fair kalawi is better than ahmad he is so classy and hansome(italian)

    pleaze he loves lebanon,have you seen our flag on his bed?and i remmber when he was with cici disburseing the gifts for the nomination for some companies ,the televisor asked him if he missed his country and his family then he answered that its o.k im saudi but here(in lebanon) i feelthat im in saudi i like her people

    so pleaze he has the strongest voice(did you heard him in the prime(3'alee)?
    he is well_mannered what do you want more!!!
    on other hand this is the third time for ahmad but its the second time for kalawi so pleaze all lebanon be fair and vote for him

    nicole

    Eve
  1. hamda | March 10, 2004 3:52 PM

  1. leen | March 10, 2004 8:56 PM

    hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
    i wanna tell you that both of them are great and deserve to stay and i think this nomenation was unfair because they have the best voices

    anyways i think kallawy works very hard this week and i want to clap to him because he graces all saudi's people and i hope that he wins but if ahmad wins i wiil be happy also.

    Hi all i agree lean & i love Khalawee & Ahmed But i vote 2 ahmed

  1. Monica | March 10, 2004 11:52 PM

    I vote for AHMAD!!!!! He looks like a star, acts like a star, sings like a star, smiles like a star...he's THE STAR!!! face it :) He didn't do too good on his last evaluation, but it just wasn't his day, he is usually very good and that is why he lasted so long...even the teachers were suprised about that day...They said that Khalawi gave his maximum and i think it is true. He might have a nice voice but it's not enough...he doesn't have the whole kit like Ahmad!!

    Monica
  1. hala | March 11, 2004 12:00 AM

    Ahmad and Kalawi.I like them Both. But the truth is AHMAD deserves to stay this week.We all vote for AHMAD in the United States.

  1. DeEmZ | March 11, 2004 2:46 AM

    khalawi is a great guy..but he doesnt have a future...ahmad he can have the best future if he tries harder..and i know he will be a great star if he wins it..he has the talent..i love him..he's a great guy!! ALL THE LUCK AHMAD!!

    DeEmZ
  1. mazen | March 11, 2004 7:55 AM

    Anyone but Bachar... I hate that guy for the unlimited. Any way, I'm gonna vote for AHMAD.

  1. nora | March 11, 2004 2:25 PM

    kalawi o bas

    monica(benklento's love) looooooooooooooooooool

    i want to tell you that just madam mary who said that because he told her about his proplem in the lasson of the voca(the movement of his hands)and i think she misunderstand him.

    i think osama alrahpani's opinion is enough(he said that kalawi and bahaa have the strongest voice)and told ahmad that the majority of his songs on all the prime is out of (tune)
    so ahmad has anice voice but he cant sing well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    and iknow that you choose ahmad because of his look pleaze monica don't be.....

    noreeeeeeeeeeee 4m UAE(dar zaid)

    nora
  1. lolo | March 11, 2004 2:43 PM

    it isnot possiple how they chose the nicet couple
    i think this is not star academy but cinama academy (why didnot they choose attiah i think he is a good actor he has to be an actor his voice is not as butifut as it should to be singer!!

    bahaa also she has anice voice but she looks like balhaa she does not dance well also in aida and betty's classes she is the worest(sorry for that but this is the true)
    woooooooooow it is impossiple

    i think i will not see crasy academy again i think super star is better than crasy academy coz they are fair!!!!

    i wish that ahmad or kalawi be the star but i think it will be the actor mr.attiya will win

    and i think who said this is a game now i realize that this is the true ?

    lolo
  1. Eve | March 11, 2004 2:57 PM

  1. Manal | March 12, 2004 10:35 AM

    I think Ahmad should stay. He has a great voice, and is polite as well.

    Khalawi doesn’t even have a good voice! The only reason people vote for him is because he is from their country! They should vote for who they think is the best, not who is from their own country! And at least Ahmed does not say inappropriate words (which I will not mention, but you all know them).

    Ahmad’s also gone through hard times in his life. His father died last March. Please vote for Ahmed!

    And even if he doesn’t win, he will always be a star to me and to all his other fans.

  1. Habiba | March 12, 2004 11:47 AM

    Ahmed is the best but we love khalawy also but i think ahmed will be the winner this week
    but any way i hope Moh.atteia will be starac
    And lovely kisses for all of them

  1. junjun | March 12, 2004 12:11 PM

    hey how rude of lalous to say that about saudis and kuwaitis and gulf ppl in general .. i cant believe sumone would ever think that way .. anyways i couldnt care less about who wins or loses this nomination because both of them messed up i feel on purpose so they could be nominees to leave .. both dont deserve anyone to vote for them

    junjun
  1. DANA | March 12, 2004 12:55 PM

    HOW RUDE IS JUNJUN ..... NOT HOW RUDE IS LALOUS ..... BOTH R U GREAT ! BUT AHMAD IS AKEED BETTER AND NO ONE TOLD U 2 ENTER THIS SITE CZ THIS SITE N PAGE IS NLY FOR THE OONES WHO WANST 2 SHARE THER EOPINION N FOR WHO THEY WANT2 VOTE...AND A7MAD DID AT LEAST BETTER THAN KHALAWY
    A7MAD UR THE BEST
    GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BE WITH YOU TONIGHT
    I WISH U WILL STAY AND IF U DIDNT I WONT WATCH STARACADEMY ANYMORE

  1. Nancy | March 12, 2004 2:35 PM

    I somettimes feel very confused if this show is about scouting for a singer or a comedian, scouting for a singer or a pianist etc...
    Let attieh try his luck at an actors' competition coz that's where his talent lies and let bashar try at a music contest and for god's sake, take notice of ahmad's star quality!

    Nancy
  1. Lalous | March 12, 2004 4:54 PM

    To JUNJUN..........look at it in a political way and u know what i mean...look at the MEA(iraq, palastine, lebanon, syria) in general and u will understand me...eventhough there is no war in lebanon look at its economy...look at the saudi guy that sent laptap for every student in the academy and how khalawi responded back to his letter by saying "inchallah what;s in ur mind will happen" look at the confidence that bahsar and khalai have and the lack of confidence that other students have it all tells u something......for bashar to win way more than sofia who every site u go on she has the highest scores in voting tells u something....and if ahmad who got triple more fans that khalawi losses today it will explain how money works here...this show is not about talent or having a star its a show to produce money...why should we vote are we experts, no the experts are the teachers and they should chose the star.........that is why this show is a game adn just to earn profit...but regardless if someone has to be the winner AHMAD ATTIEH OR BAHAA-and i wasnt being rude i was being real and one more thing i heard that the voting from saudi arabis when he was nominated with cynthia was free??

    Lalous
  1. ahmad is the best | March 12, 2004 9:58 PM

    Noooooooooooooooo
    ahmad is out shooooooot
    he does not deserve that he should have stayed waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
    that is so unfair im not gonna watch that stupid programme any more

    ahmad is the best
  1. MANAL | March 12, 2004 10:33 PM

    this is really bad ahmad left.how is the academy going to be?i have no hope for anyone to be a star.its clear khalawi will be the star.i am sure there is something going on in saudiarabia.when he was with cyntia i thought it was ok but now with Ahmad noway.next week the nominees should be Khalawi and bashar.ROULA TAKE IT SERIOUS

    MANAL
  1. emilie | March 12, 2004 10:44 PM

    This show's motto is, IF U R FROM THE GULF, U R A WINNER EVEN IF U A CRIPPLE. The teachers should stop pretending it's about talent because it's about milking money out of the saudi's&kuwaiti's

    emilie
  1. deemz | March 12, 2004 10:50 PM

    NOOOO!! AHMAD!! 3anjad this isnt fair! if khalawi wins at the end ..there is something going on for sure...7abeeebi ahmad im goin 2 miss seeing his face on t.v ..the show is gonna be so boring without him!! 3anjad im mad!

    deemz
  1. hamda | March 13, 2004 9:40 AM

    this was unfair khalawi was suppose to go and ahmad was suppose to stay.next week nominees should be khalawi and bashar let us see who is going to stay between those two!!!!!!!!!!!!

    hamda
  1. liziluv | March 13, 2004 11:58 AM

    I swear to God this was the hardest choice i had to make between nominees in fact it was so hard that i didnt vote for anyone of them.
    they both shouldn't have been nominated.
    I don't undrestand what the star acadamy is looking for anymore --- i mean is it voice ,acting , or what ??????

    liziluv
  1. liziluv | March 13, 2004 12:03 PM

    I totlay agree with "A Girl"'s comment khalawi and Ahmed are/ were the mature once in the acadamy.they were one the once who should have been the two finalists.

    liziluv
  1. lalous | March 13, 2004 5:39 PM

    For everyone that says khalai is the most mature one...hellooooooooooooooooo he's 26 not 21 like attieh...............wake up ppl and look at things from all angles..............and yeah khalawi is the winner at the end dont waste ur m,oney ppl and vote cause it is just a waste

    lalous
  1. Manal | March 14, 2004 5:11 PM

    one of the reasons that Khalawi is more mature than the others is his age. Baha is 21, Attiya 20. Khalawi is 25. What do you expect? Look at Bruno, he was also 25 and was mature.

    Manal
