Prince Waleed of Saudi Arabia, CEO of LBC which shows Star Academy 2 and along with other programs. It has been stated that Saudi Arabia Cell-Phone companies denied all votes that go to specifically "Star Academy 2".

This is a fall-back for contestant "Hisham from Saudi Arabia". The main question here is why now?! Why not since the begininning?! Will Hisham make it? Or will he have to depend on other countries to vote for him?! A recent poll on WALEG showed that Hisham will be the new Star! Can it be possible?!

I feel that most of the lebanese people hate the damaging of love story for katia and i think that all of these problems are created by the unrealized actions and non responsibilties of katia toward her lover outside Mr. Jihad who is mature and respected one. We feel that lbc concentrating too much on this bad reflex from katia to her lover and my advise to katia in that regard is as follows...

The Wedding Date is a romantic comedy starring Debra Messing & Dermot Mulroney, it will have you definitely smiling by the end of it. The Wedding Date is THE movie to see in February.

Several stars of the Star Academy 1 show were asked what they thought about the new students and who they would prefer.

To start with, the answers were as follows:

- Sophia Al Mareekh:

The new students formed an amazing group, very talented. But those who I was attracted to the most are: the Tunisian Amani, the Egyptian Zizi, the Lebanese Katia, the Lebanese Samer, the Kuwaiti Fahed, and finally the Kuwaiti Ahmad H.

- Ahmad Sharif:

I can't judge on their voices from now for I find it too early, however
Zizi, Amani and Katia diverted my attention positively.

Get over it, the world is changing and the middle east is one of them. I was an Arab raised in america and i just moved to the middle east, and yea i was shocked by the video, but haven't you all realized that maybe thats the only way to get famous now?

The arabic music industry has become just like the english... too many people with too much talent. You have to do something different to get noticed and the only way is to raise controversy and aziz has proven he can do that. Look at how many people have seen his video and know his name now?

The nominees for this week of LBC Star Academy 2 are:

Salma Ghazali from Algeria,
Katia Haraka & Iman Mezher from Lebanon.

This week's picture of the week is for the Bahraini contestant Ahmad Salah El-Din.

We have watched what we've longely awaited for. However, it was a dissapointment! Being chosen the Star proved that you have many responsibilities to take control of, one of which was satisfying those who have voted for you. Even though I wasn't one of those, but your new video clip was a shock to us!

The music was of the band "Backstreet Boys", a song called "the call". & not only that, your voice in the song appears to be fiddled with in some way. I and many others were not pleased after a long wait...

Here is the latest poll result of whom you think will be the winner of star academy 2. Hisham AbdulRahman is on the first place with 20% of the total votes.

Hisham AbdulRahman: 268( 20% )
Amani Swisi : 218( 17% )
Bashar Qaisi: 218( 17% )
Bashar El-Ghazawi: 103( 8% )
Ahmad Hussein: 99( 8% )
