Star Academy 2 Prime; A Salute to Lebanon


Star Academy 2 Prime; A Salute to Lebanon

After a week's delay, Star Academy 2 returns with a very special prime dedicated to Lebanon; a small country with a very big heart.
This special soiree featured the stars of the 1st season of Star Academy.
The nominees this week were Samer, Joy and Ahmad Salah El-Din.
This week there were only 4 top students as a result of the lessening of the students each week. And they were: 4. Zizi, 3. Bashar G., 2. Katia, 1. Ahmad Hussein.

The prime began with a song "La Ma Khelsit El Hkaieh" -no, the story hasn’t ended-, which was appropriate with the whole sad events in Lebanon after the assassination of Prime Minister Rakif Hariri. This moving song was performed by famous Lebanese stars who gathered especially for this occasion like: Sabah, Wael Kfouri, Haifa Wehbe, Nancy Ajram, Melhem Zein and many more.
The words were strong, sad and very moving; words about Lebanon, Beirut, freedom, independence and most of all, the late Rafik Hariri.

The 1st song to be performed grouped the stars of Star Academy all dressed in black. The song was "Ya Ahl El Ard" –oh, peoples of the earth-.
The nominees came out on stage early this prime, and sang a song also about Lebanon, which is by the famous Lebanese singer Wadi El Safi.
The second song "Li Beirut" –for Beirut-, was performed by Katia and Zizi, and Cynthia and Sophia from Star Academy 1.

The third song was performed by Jordanian Bashar G. and Kuwaiti Ahmad Hussein, a salute to the countries of the Arab world, and the other students participated as a chorus.
The 1st portrait to be performed was taken from one of Mansour Rahbani's plays "Summer 840".
The fourth song was "Ana Bitnafas Hurrieh" –I breathe freedom-, Katia and Amani sung it really well.
The surprise guest was the great Lebanese icon, singer Wadi Safi, who adorned the stage with his presence and sang with his beautiful, one-of-a-kind voice his famous song "Zra'na Tlalek Ya Bladi" –we planted your hills my country-.
The fifth song was performed by Amani, Salma and Baha' and Miriam.
"Jbal El Sawan" –mountains of flint stone-, a play by the Rahbani's, was the theme of the second portrait presented by the Star Academy students.
Samer and Katia both sang the sixth song, and assured that they love Lebanon by saying with all their might: "Bhebak Ya Libnan" –I love you Lebanon-.
Once again Wadi Safi performs on stage his very well known song "Khadra Ya Bladi Khadra" –my country is green-, with the participation of Ahmad Hussein and Hisham.

The starts of Star Academy 1 took another stand together on stage and sang their song "Jai El Hakika" –the truth is coming-. Then everybody took to the stage and sang a famous Lebanese song together "Raje' Libnan" –Lebanon is returning-.
It was wonderful and moving to see those Arab youth together, singing for Lebanon and for the entire Arab world.
All in all, the students sang well, and conveyed a clear message about the strength and unity of Lebanon and the Arab world as a whole.
The final part of the Prime was the Results of the voting; the results were so close and Ahmad S. was voted back into the academy. The students had a difficult task of choosing between Joy and Samer; with six votes to one, Samer stays and Joy leaves to Syria.

    No one wants to be in her shoes tonight

    ta7yah men 3amman al3arab kul al3arab to Beruit
    and what is the deal with Haifa wahbi and Ahmad , they were supposed 2 be the guests but never showed up !

    It is really unfair fot Joy.She had her place.
    Ahmad must leave as quick as possible.It was his third nomination.People that voted for Ahmad are so fool.I'am sorry but Joy deserved a chance to stay because it was her first nomination.
    Somebody can give the figures of the vote and who voted for who?Thanks

  1. UNFAIRRRR | February 26, 2005 12:28 AM

    you guys don't you get it they just don't like syrian people come one did u see how close the percents were???? they played with the scores!!! becuase they thought this was a way to get back at syria or something becuase they already blame us for wat happened.Ahmad didn't deserve to stay at all because he had toooo many chances and he's not improving but it's ok we'll see whos the winnerrr and i just hope its fair this time not like last time!!! and where was Attiah or is he too embarresed to show himself since he was the winner and he didn't succeed with his first album....looool

  1. Alitasss | February 26, 2005 1:43 AM

    Nooooo, why Joy is out???? Ahmad Salah el din have to go, no her, she is better than him, also ahmad is singing very bad, and I think that is true that they changed the results, the votes of ahmad is not true, noooooooo...

    Alitasss
  1. cyclops | February 26, 2005 2:16 AM

    ok ,thats just too unfair ahmed .s doesnt deserve to stay he should go out, and joy doesnt get her chance.(we dont know how do u look miss lebanon=ugly)shes not ugly at all, egypt love syria

    cyclops
  1. 3Al Mishmish | February 26, 2005 2:36 AM

    Shame, shame, shame! Don't blame anyone for the return of Ahmad except all the Khalijis and/or the teen-age girls who vote not for who's best, but who's their countryman, or boys!
    Whatta shame!

  1. lulwa | February 26, 2005 3:45 AM

    all of you guys are so naive to be discussing who should have been voted out.lets call it a prime and wish that the real star must win.honestley the competition is becoming very interesting cause most of them are improving very fast,&its kind of hard to choose now lets wait and see who's gonna stand out and then we'll decide.one thing i noticed in this prime is that this year's group is far more talented.lets leave looks aside and you'll see the difference

  1. walaa | February 26, 2005 4:55 AM

  1. s | February 26, 2005 5:11 AM

    yo..live with it...ahmad sallaheldin is GREAT!! he is soooo good. why dont u just accept the results. this just shows how many fans he has and how great he is. so why dont u just be quiet. hamdellilah ineh ahmad rije3. hamdillilah. too bad for u. i am sooo proud of him and love him very much. so what if it was joy's first nomination? who cares? i mean i seriously dont have a problem with any of them and love them very much, however in the end..everyone is going to leave except for one person. ahmad is still in and thank god for that.

  1. britney | February 26, 2005 5:15 AM

    to be honest here katia is the most talented between all of them. her voice is like the best,she could sing her ass off. she deserves to win,at last the judges recognized her talent she was #2 today yaay. the poeple who should go out and everybody knows it are ahmad,ahmad,and bashar they could take ZiZi with them too those "gihalla" are so stupid and untalented.

  1. TrustMe | February 26, 2005 6:18 AM

    Ahmad, Mr. Nominee, had his chances. Too bad the people brought him back, but he only came back to be nominated again for the 4th time next week! How embarrassing for him!
    Also, for the other Ahmed to be No. 1 again is a BIG joke. It shows how bankrupt Starac2 is with real talent.

    TrustMe
  1. Staracc2 | February 26, 2005 7:09 AM

    I agree with 3Al Mishmish. The khaliji folks weigh very heavily on the voting, especially when it's a khaliji nominee. There's nothing wrong with that though. Yes, people should vote based on the most deserving nominee, but don't forget, people who have something in common normally stick together. Samer even got the lowest votes, and it was the students who saved him, so how can everyone say the voting was rigged. If LBC wanted to make sure Samer got saved, they would have given him the highest votes and not Ahmed. I thought Joy sounded good singing the Lebanese nationlist songs.

  1. Paris/Algiers | February 26, 2005 7:19 AM

    I only have one thing to say : If we are honest with ourselves,Joy deserved to stay and Ahmad to leave.
    I hope Joy will do the star academy 2 tour.She has chances.The results of the prime were so close (and so wired).

    خروج جوي كان مقصود , الجمهور كان يصيح بخروجها
    هكذا انقلبت الموازين بعد الاحداث الاخيرة , واصبح خروجها حاجة ملحة لادارة الاكاديمية , خوفآ عليها ع ما اعتقد
    سوف اعطيكم اراء الاساتذة عن جوي
    مدام رولا: جوي بنت شجاعة ودايما بتجي اول واحدة ع التقييم سواء كانت لوحدها او مع مجموعة
    مدام ماري : جوي بتعطي من قلبها ساعة ما بتغني
    مدام عايدة : جوي بتحسسك بأداها وتتقدم كتير ع المسرح
    مدام بيتي : جوي بتفهم شو انطلب منها ع السريع و... يا الله
    وين راحو هولاي الاراء ,
    الشىء اللي يعصب هو ولا بنت اختارت جوي حتى من باب المجاملة ,وانها من جنسهن , والادهي من ذلك هو صياح سلمى ساااامر دون مراعاة شعور جوي االتى قرب يغمى عليها ,كل العالم ازداد اعجبهم ب أحمد حسين رجل المواقف
    جوي المتسابق الوحيد الذي اثر ع كل المشاهدين سواء يحبوها او يكرهوها ,وشربت من نفس الكأس اللي شربت منه رندة و حنان ..أول مرة نوميينه وع طول خارج الاكاديمية ,واحمد اذا حطوه نومينه الجمعة الجاية ,لو كنت مكانه لاصابني انهيار عصبي , شو اعصابه ليتحمل شهر كامل نوميينه

    حبيبة قلبي لساتني ناطرك لتتصلي وتعودي زي زمان ,خلص بكي وحزن ع جوي راح اعطيك ايميلها حتى تتصلي فيها

    Hi all,
    the prime was the best, i liked Katia the most she was into the songs a lot, and thats very nice...
    2 paris:
    Joy is a nice girl, so sweet 2, and i know that that was the third time that Ahmed was a nominee, and as u know since he is from BAHRAIN DAR EL ZAIN, actually he has a nice voice, and Joy doesnt... U know something, even though she is out it is not ahmeds fault u know... things happen, so get over it and hope that she is going 2 have a good luck, coz she might got out, but still she has a lot of fans, she didnt lose anything, but she gained friends there... ok... i know that she is kind and sweet, but those r the rules, some1 get back and some1 dont, so even if we liked them, we might never see them on that screen, so we should hope the best 2 them all ok...

    Bubye 4 now :p

    Hey what do u gurls see in ahmad saladin first of all he has been nominated 3 times..2nd he has no voice..3rd he is dam ugly and short (thats a definite turn off) Joy deserved to stay more than ahmad even though she doesnt have a good voice but she can improve and ahmad needs a lot of work his voice sucks. U want to talk about cute? Ahmad who has been number 1 in the top 5 is cutee

  1. s | February 27, 2005 1:56 AM

    To Babygurl,
    ahmad s has a great personality..he is so sweet and nice. he has a nice voice..maybe he could improve it but u cant say he has a bad voice. and what can he do if he's short??? its not like he can make himself taller!!! and plus...i think he is very cute. true he's been nominated three times...but that just shows how he has soooo many fans who support him and keep getting him to stay in the academy. so why cant u live with that? how bout support who u like and keep the rest out of it. how would u like it if people started saying mean things bout the people that YOU like?

    ZIZI, BESHO, AND SAMER ARE THE BEST! keep up the good work..
    it is clear that the gurls voted against joy because they wanna be the top 4 gurlz..now its not a matter of friendship in the academy only, its becoming a stronger competition between all the contestants! i wasnt sad that joy left though...and i hope salma and hisham are next.. because they just make the primez worse everytime..their voices are horrible!
