Zizi Prepares Next Album!

Zizi Music Album cover

Star Academy star Zizi’s last Album ‘Wahda Tayeba’ was amazingly successful in the Arab world even though she was quite new to the world of music. Her unexpected success drove Zizi to prepare for her next album at an early time to ensure that she has sufficient time to pick the songs she feels are right for her. About her last album Zizi said that she had no expectations for the album especially that there are several new singers that invade the scene everyday.

Zizi Adels Radio Interview

Last night Zizi Adel was the guest on the popular radio show ‘Nagm ala el hawa’! Zizi has seen some very amazing successes recently but it seemed she got slightly upset when a viewer sent an SMS telling her he didn’t like her look in her latest video clip, she didn’t respond properly if you ask me but her fans all over the world went mad. SMS’s flooded in telling Zizi she was gorgeous and that she was mind blowing in her video clip which she welcomed with open arms. Zizi was asked all kinds of question including weather or not she would marry a non- Egyptian and weather she would choose her career over a family and husband.

Star Academy Students Latest Plans - Part 2

Here's the rest of the news about the future plans of a few of the previous LBC Star Academy students ...

Rym Ghazali from Algeria, is getting ready to go through her first experience as a talk show host! It seems fitting for her personality to do so, because she's hyper & the camera loves her!

Rym's sister, Salma has already recorded two songs with Rotana & her debut album is due in May.
Salma's husband, Bashar Ghazawi, is still perusing his amazing talent of composing.

Star Academy Students' Latest Plans - Part 1

The students of the past 3 seasons of LBC Star Academy are working hard to launch their careers ... Some of them are on the right track, while unfortunately others are not really finding their way!
As you might already know, Star System & Rotana are working with the students to help them with launching their albums & marketing them in the Arab world.

Tunisian Amani Swissi is putting the final touches on her first album which is being produced by Rotana. Her album is due in May 2007.

LBC Star Academy Students Reunite for Star System

On the occasion of Star System's 3rd anniversary, the company held a huge party in Beirut.
The guest list was also a long list of famous names of journalists ... In addition to the popular Star Academy stars of the past 3 seasons. They all reunited for the occasion & the atmosphere was so warm & fun through-out the night.
The presence of Salma Ghazali & Bashar Ghazawi was the one that stole the spotlights.
The other starac stars attending the party were Joseph Attieh, Hani Hussein, Hana Idrissi, Maya Nehmeh, Samer Doumet, Ahmad Al Sharif, Fadi Andraous, Amani Souissi, Shaima Hilali & Wajdi Al Akhal.

I wonder where others like Zizi & Hisham & Bashar Al Shatti were?
I also wonder where Mohammad Attieh's been hiding all this time?

Here are some photos from the party

Remember Zizi Adel? She's on TV Again!

Zizi Adel was one of the students of the popular TV show LBC Star Academy ... She wasn't the best, but she did have a good voice & potential to make in the music business.
It seems she hit it well with Rotana, because she's got a debut album out & a video clip as well!
I watched the clip today & found it to be nice! ... The words to the song are not bad, the music is good & the video clip itself is fine! At least there's not nudity!
Zizi has been hiding all this time & has surfaced again to show us that she does have potential to make it the music business there days ... Unlike the guy who picked up the title of Star Mohammad Attieh! ...
You know what! Kudos Zizi!

Here are some photos of Zizi first Video Clip

Joseph, Hani & Bashar Latest News

• The first single for Star Academy 3 winner Joseph Attia "la trouhi" (don't go) is recently broadcasted on Sawt el ghad exclusively. The song is romantic and is really great, Joseph's voice is so strong... I loved the song and I hope that he will continue succeeding in his career. Go on Joseph, you rock.

• Also, LBC TV broadcasted the first video clip of Star Academy 3 contestant Hani Hussein from Egypt. A duet of Hani with Chris de Burg. Nice choice Hani.

• Do you remember what was LBC Star Academy 2 contestant Bashar Kaissi from Iraq used to sing for Katia in the academy? Do you remember when he came back to the academy on the stage while holding his guitar and singing a song...
'Zghayroun' was the name of that song and it was made into a video clip which is now being aired on Melody Hits TV.

100% Bin Laden or 100% Star Academy

Guests on LBC TV program

2 days ago, LBC TV hosted a special discussion on one of its weekly program… The discussion was about Star Academy & Saudi Arabia culture after the winning of Hisham Abdul Rahman

Three main guests talked and showed different opinions about Star Academy show and its good and bad sides on the Arab World… One of the guests was totally against Real TV programs and he was wondering if any Arab Family would send its daughter to participate in such programs!!! – Families from Lebanon, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Syria and Algeria already sent their daughters… -

Another guest said in a sarcastic way: ‘Do we have to be either with 100% Bin Laden or 100% Star Academy??’

What is your opinion? Do Star Academy or Real TV shows contradict with your country or not?

Star Academy's Chosen 4 to Tour

As part of the usual schedule of Star Academy, there are 8 students that will tour the Arab world a few weeks after the end of the program. 4 of these students are the final four; Hisham Abdul Rahman, Amani Swisi, Zizi Adel and Ahmad Hussein. The other four were chosen by the teachers of the Academy after lots of debating and they are: Bashar Ghazawi, Katia Haraka, Samer Dhoumet and Salma Ghazali.
They weren’t chosen randomly, but there were certain reasons, some of which are:
Intelligence, talent and behavior of Bashar. Presence and coquette ness of Katia. Tenderness in voice and presence of Samer. Energy and zest of Salma.

The Tour schedule will be online soon.

Changes Must Be Made

Star Academy 2

After watching the second season of Star Academy, I am sure many of you agree that changes must be made to Star Academy 3! I fear that if this same notion of voting is repeated in Star Academy 3; it will suffer a downturn. I believe the voting scheme should be changed as to 50 % of the votes by fans and 50 % by the teachers themselves.

Star Academy 2 was a complete disaster in my point of view, the students who really did deserve to win like Amani and Zizi, did not! And the only explanation to that is because of patriotism. Even though I am from the Middle-East, that does not mean I am obliged to vote for Hisham. Star Academy is a show of talents, not a show to prove which citizens are more patriotic and which of them support their candidate more.

Everybody deep in his heart knows that the result of final Star Academy 2 was so unjust. It gives a bad picture on the arabic audience, music, and societies.
Is money the key to being a star? I think, well I'm sure it is nowadays, but good things speak for themselves.

Tutors' Diversity Issues

This letter was submitted by Nagham Odeh:

'Greetings of the day. I have viewed the training and educational process for star academy students and I have a point I'd like to clear for your attention. I believe that Teacher's diversity of backgrounds and nationalities should be considered as to get in harmony with the diversity among your students. I am sure that the value of your training, teachings, evaluations and measurements of performance shall be of higher accreditation once you consider tutors' diversity issues.

All the best

Evaluation Stress

- While having Breakfast, the students were practicing the evaluation song. Katia was amongst the students who were worried the most, she hasn’t prepared anything yet!

- Choreography with Allisar. Allisar tried to motivate the students and tell them to become more energetic and avoid laziness. They started off with jogging/running exercises to wake them up. At the end, Katia was telling Allisar how hard the song is, and that she can’t do it!

- After each one of them did his evaluation, they went to Aida’s class. In this class, they let out what they want to say about it. They all agreed unanimously that they were stressed as usual about the evaluation. Time marched on and they felt that they are going through the mill. A miasma of frustration prevailed among the Academy. As a result, Aida gave them some remarks in order to improve their performance. The prevailing wind is sadness and worries about the nomination tomorrow. Well, let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Against the Rules, Why Only Bashar?

'Why in the world is Bachar Q. in the academy. I hope I'm not alone when I say he has got to get out. He can't sing well at all. It is completely against the rules. Why don't they bring back Fahed I mean he could do all things musical and had a better voice then a lot that are still in the academy. but no they bring in Bachar Q. the show off. I would like to hear what people think on Bachar Q. and why they didn't bring someone like Fahed instead? I would really like to hear what you all think.'

As we all know recently the President of the Academy Roula Sa'ad approached Zizi in a harsh tone and had told her to pack her clothes for she is leaving the day after. Zizi's reaction was natural, she was shocked! She later called her parents to see if something was wrong or if she had caused something! Later we found out this whole conspiracy .. "NEW LOOK"!!!

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.

What Happened During Last Week

Star Academy

- Hilda first mentioned that even though we haven’t been showing Star Academy, but life in Star Academy was still going on. Students were having fun, performing, dancing and everything was going normal.

- As an introduction, the students recorded some songs of star academy.
Hisham sang his nominee song. As they recorded, Ahmad S made a mistake and Hisham and Ahmad H blamed him. Ahmad H was then having problems with the song Zizi made “Un Deux Trois”, it was hard for him to pronounce.

After the celebration, they then decided to take a picture for remembrance.

- Hisham mentioned that he will be very sad when one of them leaves. I’ve grown closer to them, and I will miss them dearly he said. Ahmad H was trying to calm him down and make him feel better.

Thursday Star Academy Youmiyat Headlines

- Several conversations were made to the so-called Parrot, Staro/Billia.
Later on Katia decided to carry the Parrot all around the Academy which showed care.

- While having lunch, Hisham, Ahmad S and Fahad sang one of the nominee songs as they were worried so they wanted to release tension by doing so.

- Repetition of what the President Roula Sa’ad said about the “Jenaina” and the punishments. Ahmad H was talking about the opening in the Jenaina and what they did when their friends came such as climbing up to say hi to them which was a mistake. As a punishment, the students as a group had to plant different trees and fix the garden by adding soil and other substances. Then Amani started complaining by saying this is her first time in her entire life doing this. And Katia replied its ok, you’re doing ok. Fahad on the other hand, said that we deserved this punishment and we did all the work together and we will stay together forever!

LBC Star Academy Prime 04/02/2005

The sixth prime was like all other primes… I actually am out of words...
But nevertheless, it was very nice to watch and extremely entertaining; with Saber Rebai from Tunisia and Amal Hijazi from Lebanon as the nights guests.
The Academy students sang well, and interacted in beautiful portraits as usual.
The student to get the lion’s share in singing was Katia Haraka from Lebanon.
