I only have one word for Tunisian singer Ahmad Al Sharif ... Bravo!
I saw his new video clip for his new song "Bady Atir" (I want to fly) today and it really impressed me!
The song is nice, worth listening to and really perfect for Ahmad.
The video clip, which is directed by Emile Slailati, is really cute. It's fresh, fun and totally cool!

I think it's shot in Lebanon, but where is that place? I want to go there!
Ahmad Al Sharif's new album seems to be really hot! What do you think?

It seems that Tunisian Star Academy candidate Bahaa El Kafy has decided to make her first steps in the field of acting and will do so through the upcoming Egyptian movie ‘Es’alny ana’ (Ask Me)! Other stars in this movie include Shereef Mekawey, Mena Fadel, Amr Khowershed and Ola Ramy. Bahaa will be playing herself in the movie and will appear as a guest of honor to sing a duet with Shereef and another song by herself.

After the release of her debut album and the success it received, Tunisian Star Academy graduate Amani Swissi is going on tour in several Arab countries like Tunisia, Jordan, Lebanon and Algeria.
Amani has been known for her strong voice and her quality singing and may prove that there’s still hope for real singing during this ‘Video Clip’ era!

Remember Tunisian singer Nagla, the singer that first started with an almost erotic video clip for her song ‘Ana Hatlob Idak’?

The latest news about Nagla is sad, her younger brother died recently after suffering for a long time from cancer…

These are some photos of Tunisian Star Academy 2 candidate Amani Swissi during an interview with her on Rotana TV on the occasion of launching her first music album.

Veteran Tunisian singer Latifa has recently left Paris after completing the filming and production of her upcoming video clip, “Ammenli Bait”. In Beirut, she also just finished filming an episode for an undisclosed Lebanese channel.Latifa will leave Beirut this week to begin a tour in Jordan, Tunisia, and Syria, where she will sing songs from her latest album, “Maaloumat Akideh”. The tour, her first in two years, will be part of the massive promotion Rotana and Latifa have been engaging in for her latest album.

It seems Star Academy star Ahmed El Sherif’s legal position deteriorated when he didn’t show up at the investigation office as he was ordered to by authorities. This order comes after Ahmed’s manager Mansour Jamal sued him for breaching the contract that they both signed. The contract binds Ahmed to do several concerts in several tunisian cities organized by his manager in 2006 which includes one in Sfax, another in Mounastir and the last in Maqneen.

For all those Saber El Rebai fans out there we have great news: he just finished filming the video clip for ‘Rouh Allah Yehmeek’! This will be the second song Saber films of his latest album ‘Ajmal Nesa El Donya’ which has sold hundreds of copies and has been quite the success. The story of the video clip is quite original it tells the tale of a father, played by Saber, who takes his children out for a stroll and takes care of their studies and buys them musical instruments to nurture the talent inside them!

Tunisian musician Nabil Khemir has sealed a deal with an American record company to distribute & sell his latest album 'Oriental & Western Perfume 1' in America.
This came after his participation in the 11th Annual Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA.

Ahmad Al-Sharif's schedule has been extremely busy these days & that's such good news!
Seeing a young star having huge success all over the Arab world is something to be proud of ... Especially after the failures of other 'so-called-stars' like Mohammad Attieh and Sofia Al-Marikh that graduated with Al-Sharif from Star Academy.
In the past month, Al-Sharif held concerts in Syria, Tunisia & Libya ... & will be holding more concerts during March in Jordan & Syria.

Stories of envy and jealousy between Rotana divas over the success and special treatment of double World Music Award winner, Elissa, have been entertaining the press throughout 2006. It is evident in every interview conducted with any female Rotana artist, the stock question is always “Are you jealous of Elissa’s massive success?” or “Are you envious of Elissa over her double World Music Award win?” and then of course comes the stock answer: “I am so happy for her, she deserves it, I don’t think she bought it!” Amal Hijazi sugarcoated her answer by saying “she aspired to reach the level of treatment that Elissa receives.” Dina Hayek, on the other hand, said flat out that Elissa got better treatment than everyone else. However, Elissa may have lost her place on the throne of Rotana diva envy… To Tunisian singer Latifa.

After the survey made by the Tunisian radio channel Mosaic FM, famous Tunisian singer Saber El Rebai won the title of best Arabic singer. More than 20,000 people participated in this survey and chose Saber as the best singer. Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram came in the second place.

Young Tunisian star Ahmed Al Sharif is probably earning some frequent flier miles since he's been traveling a lot from city to city as his schedule has been fully booked. He just got back from a very successful tour in Australia where he was honored by the Mayor of Sydney himself.

He also held a party in Damascus on the 22nd at the Sheraton Hotel. But Ahmed's real night out will be on the 31st as he will be flying between Abu Dhabi and Dubai performing two concerts on the same night.
He'll be first at the "Shati" hotel in Abu Dhabi for the first few hours then he'll have his private jet ready to take him to Dubai where he'll continue the party there.

Pretty cool huh?

Famous Tunisian star Saber Al Rubai seems to be of a higher class than everyone else.
He was asked on the "Ma' Hobi" show about Rula Saed’s voice, he said he wished singer Rula Saed had stuck to modeling rather than singing. Poor Rola, come on, he's just kidding...

As for the rumors surrounding him and Sabah singing a duet together, he answered astonished saying: "I can't sing with her, my voice is much stronger."

It seems Saber is too good for anyone, even the Arabic concert for Lebanon "Al Dhamir Al Arabi" isn't good enough for him
