LBC Star Academy 3 - First Prime


LBC Star Academy 3 - First Prime

Tonight the first prime of the popular Reality Show LBC Star Academy started, and what a great start for the 3rd year.
The students, who came from all over the Arab world, were introduced as astronauts in their uniforms and wearing their helmets. But what is strange is that the number of students is 19 !
Hilda, the presenter we have gotten used to in the past two years, is the presenter this year as well, but with one difference; this time she is a brunette, not blonde any more!

The stage this year is bigger than the past two years, which gives more space for performing and for the attractive portraits and tableau’s that give the prime a twist.
The first to sing were Shaima Hilali and Shadia Silali who started with a song with the guest for tonight; Lebanese star Najwa Karam.
The next to sing were two Saudi guys, the Egyptian & Moroccan girls. And after that the second guest; French singer Chimene Badi performed a very nice song.
A Christmas theme performance was also presented on the occasion of Christmas which is 2 days from now.
Reem al Ghazali, the Algerian student is surprisingly the sister of last year’s student Salma al Ghazali, sang with Chimene Badi her famous song entre nous.

The other students have performed their best for the first time in front of a live audience and thousands of other viewers all over the world.
But the big surprise that made the whole prime worth seeing till the end was the presence of Star Academy 1 and 2 students, who were as radiant as ever, and performed a group song all together with this year's new-comers.
All in all, the first prime was very nice, the students seem fun, and it seems we will all be hooked to the third season just as much as before.

Here are the names of the students and their countries:

- Walid Samara from Jordan
- Shaima Hilali from Tunisia
- Hana Idrissi from Morocco
- Fadi Andraous from Palestine
- Reem Al Ghazali from Algeria
- Wajdi Al Akhal from Tunisia
- Hani Hussein from Egypt
- Jihan Khamassi from Morocco
- Shadia Silali from Morocco
- Marwa Nasr from Egypt
- Khalifa Salem from UAE
- Mohammad Ibrahim Shukri from Kuwait
- Manal Tahhan from Lebanon
- Issa Nasr Hassan from Bahrain
- Mohammad Al Dosari from Saudi Arabia
- Maya Nehme from Lebanon
- Rakia Ibrahim from Egypt
- Joseph Attieh from Lebanon
- Mohammad Fahd from Saudi Arabia

    hi..
    well i think this season is a bit better than the one b4 cuz last years was kindda miserable..
    i dont each and every1 exactly but i gotta say Hany from Egypt so far is the best.. i fell in love with him from the first sight, lol, not cuz i'm egyptian but the guy seems to be good.
    other good ones are: walid from jordon, shaima from tunis is ok, Fadi from palestine is good, rim salama's sis has a really strong vioce, wajdi seems to be fun, shadia's voice is ok too, maya from lebanon is good too, and joseph seems to be nice i liked him , Mohamed from Kwait is really nice and rakia from egypt is ok. honestly i cant remember the other girls awy.
    i have 2 important comments to make thou: what on earth did that saudi guy with all dancing did any1 tell him how funny and pathetic he looked. and with all due respect to my nation wat the hell is up with the Marwa girl, all she said was i'm pretty, god bless her, wat i pitty. others just didt click!
    i just gotta add that im whole heartedly impressed with Hany, ya3ni ur number 1 and i bet u'll stay to the finals, i mean u better do.
    the season looks good and i like it so far, i think it'll be better than last years, or that what i atleast hope.

    i just have a favor, if any of u guys knows the frequency of the 24/24 channel on nilesat or hotbird plz tell me, pretty plz ya3ni!

    hey guys, finally we can watch the 3rd season of star academy..i was really waiting for that day for some time nd i hoped it will be as good or better than ther first ones..i think that would be right, i mean all of them look nice nd fun nd almost all of them have good voices!! i liked best:Hany from Egypt,hes realyy very nice nd have gr8 hobbys.His voice is amazing.i think that wht marwa said is not good, i mean,if she thinks shes pretty she can say that to herself but not like this nd the stuff with the photos in her room.that was really over..

    p.s where is rola sa3d??why didn't she appear in the prime?

    kookie
  1. glitz | December 23, 2005 11:20 PM

    HANY is the best , he's great in everythin english ,french and arabic woooooooooooooooooow , sooooooooooooooo cute and sweet .

  1. Nothing | December 23, 2005 11:34 PM

    hani was soooo nice looking and wajdi from tunis...i fell in love with both of them at first sight. the best voice is the first girl from tunis i think her name is chayma ? i dont know but i think this will be a better season than star ac 2 which sucked so much. maya nehme and manal from lebanon are cool too and the second egyptian girl. of course i can tell from now the winner will be from the gulf because its like the wadi...when there are many from the gulf, they win!

    The first prime was great yes,but i was wondering where Rola Sa3id is,and i wish the teachers were the same but lets give the news ones a chance. It was so nice to see Katia,Salma,Bashar again .Good luck to all the contestants and well so far i like Walid,Joseph,Wajdi and Reem.lets see what these people are made off.

  1. dina | December 24, 2005 12:51 AM

    hey everyone,
    i would like to say that this prime was really a good one and it gave me a good impression on star academy 3. i really liked the egyptian guy hany, oh my good he`s soo cute,moreover he looks stylish and from a good family. i also liked walid from jordan and the 2 girls from lebanon maya and manal, gihan is ok, but really the best of them is HANY.
    One last thing i`d like to mention, that guy from saudia, what was he doing on the stage?? was he making fun of himself?? he looked stupid and i didn`t like him at all. he was just trying to make a show but eventually he failed....i hate that kind of guys..

  1. upset | December 24, 2005 1:20 AM

    Hey everyone, just finished watching the first prime of the this new season and i have to say i am really disappointed. My main problem would be the fact that star academy keeps being promoted as an arab-nation show for promoting singers BUT may i ask what happened to SYRIA???????? Is that not an arab-nation?????? Why has it been left out??????? The star academy producers didn't even bother to put at least one student into the show. What is going on?????? Is this not supposed to be an open show that has nothing to do with politics????? WHY HAS SYRIA BEEN LEFT OUT????? I just want to know what's going on anymore, Star academy use to be so much fun to watch and now all of a sudden its become a political show that wants to have no association with syria, i don't think thats fair.

    Besides that the show was good and i enjoyed the end when students from the past two years were broughten back, especially those of the first year. I love Cynthia and Bruno and they should just hook up already, they make a really cute couple.

  1. Shooosha | December 24, 2005 1:43 AM

    omg!! there were so many i cudn't remember all their names!! that saudi dude (mohammed) that thinks he is a gangsta is funny...lol!!

    this yr, there r more ppl with better voices and no total disasters like hisham!! (btw how cum he wasnt there?)anyways, all the girls look alike its quite funnt. u can tell frm now though that sum don't hav as strong voices as others and were probably choosen more because of other talents.

    yea i noticed rola wasn't there either! how cum??!

    i remember hanni though! he was really gd in ropartage but his voice i hav 2 say (no offence) is really bad wen he sings in french and english!

    i cant belive out of 19, there was not 1 iraqi person!! and 3 egyptians!!

    ohh well best of luck 2 all!

    Shooosha
  1. Shoosha again! | December 24, 2005 1:51 AM

    that dude frm palestine i think is got an amazingly strong voice! i think he shud become at least 1 of the finalists! also that 17 yr old girl is really gd 2!! the guy frm emarites is abit weird though and wats up with that marwa girl?? she admitted 2 loving herself!! quite funny really...lool

    i really like it wen the other ppl frm starac 1 and 2 came. wen i saw amani i was like yea wooho!

    i will sday gud luck 2 them all but i think khaliji person will win again! not because of talents btw!

    Shoosha again!

    HANY think he's greatest but not for the people. HiLDA turn to brunette whats wrong with her is like turn to white and now arab. what an idiot. MOHAMMAD dance like michael jackson i cant believe it, he should be in jail. MARWA is not funny, she is hablaa.
    my favorite singer Ibrahim alhikmi is sooooo cute, i love him.

    sad
  1. Rana | December 24, 2005 6:17 AM

    Personally, I loved the prime & the contestants... well most of them anyways.
    I was pretty content because I hated last year's students, HATED THEM. They were pretty annoying.. especially that Hisham kid.
    Anyways, I was shocked because ALL the 19 students are first of all super rich as you can tell & VERY INTELLIGENT! It's madness. All the people I remember spoke English, French & Arabic very well. Also, the girls ! Wow. Did you see how many awards Rim Ghazali has? & How many instruments Maya can play? I was very impressed. They're all educated & they've been around the world. Also, the girls... all of them are gorgeous but I didn't really like Marwa from Egypt because of her cockyness. Other then that, they were great. I actually like them all but from what I've seen in the prime ; my favorites so far are ; Wajdi [Tunnis], Jihane [Morocco], Manale&Maya&Joseph [Lebanon], Hani [Egypt] mehh there were more I just can't think anymore.
    Overall, they seem very funn & entertaining & I enjoyed their voices.
    &Also, Ahmad Sherif looked amazingg, as usual. &I was so happy to see Sofia Marikh. Omg that girl's gorgeous beyond belief. &All the other star ac students.

    MERRYY CHRISTMASSSS. <3
