The search has begun for the newest contestants who will take part in the upcoming and fifth season of Future Super Star. The search began in Tripoli North of Lebanon and nearly 260 people flooded in with the hope of getting a shot at fame. Since the early hours of the morning people came to Quality Hotel from Syria and many other Arab countries to perform to the judges. The styles that were presented were extremely different and whilst some had funny stories to tell but terrible voices, others showed some real talent.

Syrian Super Star runner-up Rouwaida Attiah is getting ready to head to Dubai.

She will be the guest star of Noujoum Television directly from the Kufa tent, and will be presenting some of her songs from her new album.

At last the long awaited program 'Super Star' will be aired on the Lebanese satellite channel 'Future' in October, during the holy month of Ramadan.
This third season of this popular program has been delayed because of the sad events last April after the assassination of Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

Libyan Super Star Ayman Al Atar has begun his professional singing career with an exclusive video clip to his first song 'Bahebak' from his first album.
The clip can be viewed nowadays on the Lebanese Channel 'Future', and will then be viewed on the famous music channel 'Melody Hits'.
He will be launching his new album on the 25th of August, and for the occasion will hold a few parties in Lebanon, Egypt and Qatar among other Arab countries.

After a long wait, and a delay that was caused by the tragic death of Prime Minister Rafik Hariri on the 14th of February, the long awaited Future Super Star album will be available for the public in July.

The album entitled “We Ibtada El Mishwar” the journey has started, contains 16 songs for the contestants who reached the finals; Mohammad Daoud, Hadi Aswad, Mustafa Shweikh, Rania Shaban, Abeer Neme, Raneen Shaar, Brigit Yaghi, Ammar Hasan, Husam Madanieh, Muhannad Mshalah, Raneem Ktait, Yasmeen Husseini, Abdul Rahman Muhammad, Hussam Shami, Waad El Bahri and Zahi Safieh.
The video clips can be seen on the music channels such as Melody.

Future Super Star, which will starts its third season soon, has become a famous program that attracts thousands of people to try their chances to become Stars. The original program is the American version; American Idol. And has spread all over the world with different versions in different countries such as Germany, Poland and England.

It was interesting watching the Future Super Star casting episodes, seeing the judges and the contestants, but most of all seeing the weird people who are serious about their voices, and think they actually have a good voice!
After seeing the American Idol, I found out that those weirdoes are nothing comparing to the bizarre things the judges see in their quest to find the right number of contestants throughout the American states.

Syrian Super Star Shadi Aswad has released a single and video clip which is being aired on the Arabic Music Channel Melody Hits.
The song is called “Ta’y La’andy” and it sounds really good and Shadi looks better than ever.

Check it out and let us know what you think …

Ayman Al Aatar from Libya is the SuperStar of 2004. Soon we will add a special photo gallery for Ayman Al Aatar and also for Ammar Hassan.

It´s the final countdown !
This week is the last week of the second Arab Future Superstar ... and the two competing for the title are Ammar Hasan from Palestine and Ayman Alaatar from Libya.

Everybody has to start somewhere … Ayman Alaatar started on the radio, in a morning program in his country Libya, when he was only nine years old. Since then, this young talent began winning the love of listeners …
Ayman became known in Libya, not only on radio but on television too.

This week was very critical for the remaining contestants in the Arab Super Star ... four guys; Ayman Alaatar from Libya, Hadi Aswad from Syria, Ranim Kouteit from Egypt, Ammar Hassan from Palestine ... they are all good.

The voting was a lot ... but the two to stand in the danger zone were Ranim and Hadi ... the one to leave was Ranim Kouteit from Egypt .
We wish him all the best ...

Future Superstar's weekly primes are each special in a different way ... this week it was Nancy Ajram who made the prime sparkle ...

Who do you think will leave Arab Superstar next week? This week Brigitte Yaghi didn't have enough votes to stay at Arab Superstar; whose next?

Voting is closed.
