Another year, another season & another Star Academy!
Hilda Khalifeh is back this year on a huge stage to present the 4th season of LBC Star Academy.
The students graced the stage for the first time almost immediately, but they entered dressed as Chinese men!
The presentation was awesome; an Asian theme, specifically Chinese! All complete with red lanterns & drums & everything!
This year, 19 students ranging from 17 to 25 years old, 10 girls & 9 guys will compete for the title of Star of this season.
The teachers are all familiar faces, Wadih, Elissar, Rula, Michel, Gabriel, Mary & Fouad. There will also be 13 more instructors & teachers that will be introduces through-out the weeks.
The first two guests of the season are Wael Kfouri & Shireen.
Joseph Attieh, the Star of last season, also made a special appearance.
The first students to get on the stage & perform were Maysoon from Egypt & Marwa from Tunisia.
As for the first student to sing with Shireen, it was lucky Amal from Morocco.
The next to sing & do a bit of Salsa dancing, they were Shatha from Iraq, Sally from Egypt & Iman from Morocco.
The first guys to get up on the stage & sing along side Wael Kfouri, where Ayman from Tunisia & Dani from Lebanon.
Lebanon this year has got 3 - correction: 4 - of its youth in the academy, Dani, Carlo & Tina, - & Nelli - which you might have already seen in one of the Fair & Lovely ads! She also plays the piano, harmonica & is a business student!
The rest of the students seem to all have a talent not only for singing, but for playing musical instruments!
For example, Mohammad from Egypt plays the piano, Khaled from Bahrain plays the 'oud, the guitar & the flute! Intisar from Tunisia plays the guitar as well!

how can I get that ( nagham ) channel ???
PLZ SOMEONE HELP ME !!
Hello
First of all for the girl/guy who was asking YES to get Nagham its on Arab sat so u need a rotating dish
The prime was so nice specially the part when the Mohammed, Khaled, Ayoub, Shorouk, Entisar, where singing while playing with the help of Tina & Dany...
I was shocked of an amazing surprise when i saw the students cause Mohamed is a friend of mine & he never even said he was going to the Academy !!!!
By the way the lebanese students are 4 not 3 cause u forgot to mention Nelly Ma3touk
and it was Emad from Tunisia who sang with Dany & Wael Kefoury.
Hope all the students rock this year
they are all sweethearts
specially
Mohamed :)

Rania
Wo0o0o0ow its great that LBC & LEBANON proves to the world its a country for LIFE ...
VIVA LEBANON may Xmas brings peace & happiness to all Lebanese .
Starac 4 has realy good talents esp. mohammad from Egypt, dany or mark from LEBANON .. Good LUCK TO ALL ARABS
PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE AHLAN FIKOUN!!!!!
THIS Star Academy IS GOING TO BE THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!! buckle your seatbelts becuase we are all going to go on the ride of our life these 4 months!!
THE STUDENTS ARE FANTASTIC especially the ones from lebanon and morrocco and the stage, lighting, costumes, dances and music in this prime was fantastic and guess what this was just the beginning!!!
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE GREAT SEASON of Star Acandemy 4 and i don't know about anyoone else but this season has a different sense to it don't you think....
ALSO GOOOOOO LEBANON ---your are fantastic that despite war you still continue to entertain and run the best show ever!
yeah at the begenning i was like yakhhh what s that when they took off their masks but then they looked nice especially the girls. but i dont know didnt anyone notice like me that some of them look like some students in the past years especially the audi guy looks like dossary and some others that i cant remember their names look like joseph and zizi... i dont know maybe i m wrong. anyway wish them the best and lets enjoy it!
OMG i noticed that too whatever.... i actually thought they brought the other students this season... i was really confused for a minute hahha!!
They needed to have a student to represent each country. I don't think its fair that most of the students are from Lebanon. Where are the Libyans, Algerians, Jordians, Syrians, UAE and Palestians.
Anyways, I will try to enjoy this season.
BELLA ....it is afterall a lebanese show and there are only 4 lebanese contestants..one more than egypt...any there are no algerians, lybians..etc...becuase there was no outstanding talent in those countries that could be recognised as potential to star academy...
AFTER ALL lebanon is the home to the stars...
oh and when u say most of the students --- ur wrong--- i dun think 4 out of 19 students means most are from LEBANON dont you think?
I agree with Bella....It is an Arab show located in Lebnanon..its not just for the Lebanese people..Im sure there were other talented people from other countries that tried out, but the show is rigged. They want someone from Lebanon to win again because of the war and they feel bad for them. They should be ashamed, instead of rebuilding their country they are singing on stage half naked.
I dont know why the website isnt up yet, everytime I log on it says there is a countdown of one more day, whats up with that??? second of all, I shal ask the most important question...who are the two hot guys and girls, please vote :D ! that tunisi guy was smoking! woohoo
THANKS GOD, THEY DID'NT INVITE SOFIA MARIKH THIS YEAR

how come?
Hey all,
Well, true, yesterday's prime was a surprise to all of us. I think such a strong start promises a great deal of success at the end of the season. As an introductory prime, first introducing the student's countries, hobbies, talents, we were not expecting such an INTERESTING prime. I think it is the most successful "first prime" since star academy ever started.
About the contestants, i guess it is a little bit strange to have no contestants at all from Jordan, Palestine, or Lybia ... There are 4 lebenese, 3 egyptians, 5 from Al maghreb al Araby, and the rest are all Gulf ! Too much i guess. Where are other countries representatives?
Anyway, seems this year they chose good really talented people. More or less, all the students can play music.
I think also that the lebanese choices are the best this year.
Carlos, who is 19, sang Patrik Fiori's Belle, which Hani sang last year and everyone thought it was perfect with his voice, even Patrick himself. BUT, i think that Carlos yesterday excelled in his singing, the guy really has good voice! And he seems to be interesting too.
Danny, that cute little school boy, is also VERY talented. If we compare anyone in his age, i think we'll hardly find someone with this voice. His voice reminds me so much of Joseph.
Tina and Nelly, are both two elegant young ladies who play the piano very well, but the'r voice seem not to be THAT strong, in comparison to the male-lebanese voices. But, they seem so good as personalities.
The Egyptian contestants are AVERAGE, if we compare to normal Egyptian talents. I think there are BETTER talents in Egypt than Sally, Maysoon, and Mohammed, but this does not mean they are not talented. They got it too ... or they wouldnt have been accepted in the first place.
Sally, as we saw is a very good dancer, i think Alissar will have fun this year! But i think that sally's voice is not so good. However, i do believe that it has a special tone, that only belongs to her. In other words, yeah her voice is weak, yet there's that tone in her voice which makes it attractive to hear, even if u know it's not very good. For example, Nancy Ajram's voice is known as to have a special tone that only is identified with her as a person, but musically, we cannot say that Nancy's voice is WOW, in comparison to others. (I ADORE NANCY BY THE WAY)
Maysoon, looks kind, good voice, but not very good..and that's what i mean ..Egypt really has so many good voices and that's why i'm kind of surprised of egyiptian choices this year. But im so proud of lebanese choices cuz seems they got the BEST OF THE BEST! Maysoon's performance was nice too yesterday.
Mohammed, looks talented, he plays piano and Guitar and composes songs, and his voice has a great deal of feeling. BUT i think he's afraid of camera, shy, or smth like that ....if u realize he is not very comfortable on stage, neither in the academy in his first day ...let us wish that this is normal cuz he;s still not used to that.
Maghreb students. I think that Iman from Maghreb really has the looks, the cuteness and the voice.
The 3 tunisian contestants seem worthy! The gy who's name is Emad seem to be Ahmed el shereef 2, or fady 2 ... what a charisma! and we'll see how the audience will react!!!
Marwa and Intissar, have good voices, we cannot deny.
Shazza, from Iraq, really got POWERFUL voice and i think she's going to be of the ;last 6 students in the Academy!
Sherook, i dunno i cant see any talent till now ... but she;s Hind;s relative ..so ... get my point?
Kwaiti guys seem cool ..especiallythat Guy called Ahmed.
ANYWAY ...we have to wait and see :D
Rita, Egypt
omg i havent seen the prime yet..... on sunday it will cum on lbc australia cant wait.... of what u said guys about it.. i saw wanna watch it
the prime was a killer love it but i think they should of had students from diffrent countries..
wasn't the prime supposed to be showed again on saturday morning . like last year ??
I looked at the lbc tv program list of the day & it wasn't there ! does one know if its going to play it again ?
I'm impressed by the ability of LBC to bring us a number of students each year who are worse than the year before it. HOW CAN THEY DO THAT????? They must have a pool of $ H I T
hey waleg wat da hell is wrong with ur site am trying to post a comment in ur last topic at the sport section and its telling me 2 enter the code and there is actually no code field there,plz try 2 fix it becouse i really want to post this.
hi all
i loved yesterday's prime, it was cool, but i think it would have been better if not most of the students were soooo affraid.
anyway, good luck to all of them :)
and BTW, carlo was singing belle by garou, patrick fiori & daniel lavoie, and i think that his voice was better in french than in arabic, and for the moment he's is my favorite.
as for the girls i can't make any choice, i didn't notice any REALLY gooooood voice.
mustafa,
The problem is fixed now; thank you for your note.
i want to say to rita that is not really that our 3 tunisian students are worthy like u say at least u can't deny that marwa&imad have the talent nd if we can not say that intisar's voice is too great at least also she play guitar no?
thanks
GOOD LLLUCK TO ALLLLLLLLLL STUDEEEEEEENNNTS AND SPECIALLY TUNISIANS
i loved the prime and i hope the best...
the second staracademy were the best.....
hey all, i wanna 2 say that DANY is da best i think he's the cutest guy, i like him so0o0o0o much and i liked the others but he's special anyway gd luck 4 all the students! byezz..
imane+amal =star academy4
marooooooooooooc inchalah star academy4
vive star academy4 est bon chance allez imane et toi amel bon courage
much higher in standars this time, they actually choose people with voices now :D
but this imad guy is gorgeous!!!
Hey, I live in NY but I get LBC when does it come on?
OMG SERIOUSLY Mariam and others like her
what on earth is wrong with yous?
god i agree with I M A Q T 100%
JUST BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS THE LEBANESE ARE much more talented than the other contestants does that mean that the show is rigged! God what jealously does to people....and everyone get over the fact that there is 4 lebanese in this season...one more than the eqyptians...FAR OUT---
Lebanon has just gone to war and still the brave Lebanese people continue to preview Star Academy 4 for all its fans out there and to give an opportunity to the talented young people out there to show what they are made off......and here people are complaining that there are too many lebanese contestants....LOL this is pathetic---
if yous dont mind please stop complaining and thank LEBANON for its bravery to produce this season of Star Academy for you...
hey guys
i agree the prime was really great lots of talent. I think the 3 best were Marwa from Tunis, Amal from Maghreb, and Dany from Lebanon, they have the strongest voices and one of them deserves to win. As for the worst, probably Imad from Tunis I had to change the channel when he started singing. Also Intisar from Tunis, the only thing shes got going for her is the guitar because her voice just doesnt cut it, atleast not in english, maybe in arabic she'll sound better but theres still time to see. I appreciate that most of them are multitalented and can play instruments and dance, but when it comes down to it, people are not going to listen to their music because they can dance, the voice is the most important thing and I think above all their main focus should have been to pick people with really amazing voices, and then focus on other things, because this is above all, a singing competition.
I DONT REALLY think we can choose winner at this stage in the competitions...its way too early...afterall it was their first time on stage.
I agree with Nices post, these people can't sing, they are horrible with no exception. Every year they get worse and worse. But i noticed that its not only LBC that has a bad taste but also most of the people that posts here because for some reason they like those contestants, you guys must be deaf.
the MAN you are totally wrong....far out give these people a chancee..they have much better voices than many previous contestants and their talents are extraordinary...COMMON SENSE u rock! i agree with you all the way
I'm soo glad to see that actually some one here has a taste (The Man). I have to give the LBC credit for making millions of arabs watch a bunch of talentless retards. Not only that but also pay money to keep them to continue annoying us.....
I M A Q T, who are you trying to kid, they are horrible, wain homme we wain SUPERSTAR???? If you consider acting silly and playing a couple of cords on a guitar a talent then I agree with you.
I'm not gonna deny that some of the previous students are good but the vast majority were, actually I can't find a word to describe how bad they were....Like who can forget ANAS or Bashar El Qaisy or my personal favourite Manal Ta77an and the list goes on with people that not only lack talent but also the personality........
m7amed 2amaaaaaaaaaaaa77 sooooooo goooooood :):)::)
Well, I'd have to say that the students this year weren't bad. Of course it's nothing compared to Superstar bc those people already KNOW how to sing. The Academy is for STUDENTS to learn how to become better students.
And this year i have to say the people who stuck out were Amal, and Mohemmad al qammah. The rest are good, but I liked those 2.
neway I said my peace,
laters!
Sorry I didn't mean for the students to become better students, I meant to become better SINGERS. lol
Egypte Egypte Egypte IZ the BEST!!!!(everyone else sucks)
Hey Rania(the one who knows mohamed)send me your e-mail at MissEgypt_1991@hotmail.com plz so we can chat!!B/c am in love with your friend(mohamed)
THANKS,Joumana Boutros (from Egypte)
KHALED from Bahrain has an amazing voice!!!!!
GO GO KHALED!!
LOVE YOU!
I dont agree with you, to be able to sing you have to have a voice to begin with
je ne sais pas pourquoi il n ya pas eu d algeriens dans star academy 4 presque tout les pays arabes sauf les algeriens. peut etre que madame roula est alergique aux algeriens ou quelle a peur que les algeriens serons nombreux a voter por leurs idole car je sais qu il ya de belle voix d algeriens qui meritents de participer .
Where are the Palestinians?Libyans, Algerians, Jordians, Syrians, UAE .
but i like the 3egyptians,imad from tunisia and so.but i think its not fair because they are 4students from lebanon,its too much and not fair!!but i hope that i like this season!
