Rivalry will always be the moving force behind singers and stars.
X wants to be better and more famous than Y ... that's a simple equation ... don't you think so?
The latest two singers to bring their rivalry under the spotlight are Amal Hijazi and Darine Hadchiti.
After Darine claimed in an interview with Jaraz Magazine, that Amal cannot sing LIVE and hides behind playback at her concerts, Amal fired a few missiles on Darine!

The latest duo getting prepped for a release is from Lebanese singer Diana Haddad and Lebanese/ Canadian singer Karl Wolf! Yes, there's an exclamation mark after the sentence because I can't see such a duo working! Sorry!
Don't get me wrong! I like both Diana and Karl, each one on their own, but together ... not so much!

Lebanese singer May Hariri has decided to retire from her career as a singer and become a stay-at-home-mom!
This sudden decision comes after a long divorce case and the notion that her ex-husband will take full custody of their daughter, in the case of her not quitting her career!

Nabil Ajram's latest music video has caused a stir and might be taken off the air!
Ajram's 'Lesh M’azebni' was released on Melody on October 1st, but it only took 24 hours for the idea of taking it off the air to start bubbling!
The clip is directed by up and coming music director Joe Bou Eid, who has decided to play a dangerous card with Nabil Ajram.

Lebanese singer Joe Ashkar has always tried to be different and kinda naughty in his music videos ... don't tell me you haven't noticed!
His new music video, to his song 'dakhl el ghunouj', -which by the way is really hard for me to translate, so if by any chance you know what it means, let me know!- has some bootylicious babes from Europe and they've got him hypnotized!

After a few months away from the spotlights, Miriam Fares is back with another one of her unique dance-filled music videos!
Miriam shows off her dancing talent yet again in her new song 'Elli Bi Ye7sal' and the music video which is currently being aired on Melody.

Do you remember the young Lebanese singer, Sabine, who debuted her career a few years ago with a song entitled 'Ebaatli E-mail' or Send me an E-mail?
She's back, but this time with a song entitled 'Lissa' or Not Yet.

On the latest episode of Il Maestro on LBC with Nishan, Melhem Barakat attacked every Lebanese singer excluding Najwa Karam and Fares Karam! Well, let's be honest here, who is Melhem Barakat to criticize Wael Kfoury and Nancy Ajram? And yes Melhem Barakat is the one who sings the old songs people dance to after having a few drinks.
Ouch!

Jad Choueiri is at it again! The second hit off of his English album, "Stop Popping Pills" music video just got released on Melody Hits. I honestly don't know what to say about the video or the song. He seems to be doing a great job at embarrassing himself with each song he puts out.
Somebody please tell Jad that English music is not his thing and he is definitely not the next Michael Jackson.

What do you think? Check out the video for yourself and let us know what goes through your mind.

Thanks to Abed for the news tip and the photos.

After years of marriage and two kids, Lebanese singer Diana Haddad and her husband Suhail Al Abdoul have decided to go their separate ways and get a divorce!
It's a shock to everyone, that one of the most successful marriages in the Arab show business has fallen apart!

Najwa Karam is one of a few singers that managed to keep her glory shinning steadily during all these past years, and she continues to prove to her Arab audience that she is still at the top...
I was amazed by Najwa's performance at the final prime of LBC Star Academy 6, having her as one of the final guests during this season really made a difference especially when comparing her to other well known singers like Latifa whose performance at the semi final prime was a disaster.

Back to Najwa, she recently held two concerts during Lebanon summer festival 2009 and both of these concerts were successful with a very pleased audience.

Here are some photos from one of Najwa latest concerts

Lebanese singer Melhem Zein and his wife Tamani who tied the knot last year are soon to be a father and mother; rumor has it that Tamani is pregnant and they already know the gender of the expected baby, a Boy!

If the news is true, then Congratulations Melhem and Tamani :)!
