Star Academy Season 8 Finale, Egypt Wins BIG





Nismah from Egypt won this season title for Star Academy Season 8 with 48.37% of the votes going for her. Runner up is also Egyptian Ahamd Ezzat (the guy best known for his amazing covers of Abdel Halim Hafiz songs) with 29.8% total votes and the Syrian singer Sarah Farah got the third spot with 21.83%! I think Nismah Mahgoub (a cover os Ismahan's Al Toyor and Whitney Houston's One Moment) won the title with the affection most Arabs now have for Egypt and its most awesome revolution.

I wish Sarah had won, because frankly I did not know much about Nismah. From what I gathered, she has done some work in the opera and her skills in doing non Arabic songs, Arabic Tarab songs, and light pop songs registered with many. I am sure she is a great singer with a lot of professionalism. But Farah seems to be the contestant to defeat, you watch her and see the places she will go.

I fear there is some politics involved here. A Syrian won last year, and Syrian is in war right now so taking the time to vote for a singer might not be a priority. But to be frank Sara Farah was not on her A game with Najwa Karam. She put a good performance, but you really have to put some much energy to match that of Najwa Karam's. Love it or hate it no other contestant on this season packs as much energy and charisma as much as Sara does.


Nothing against Egypt and the two leading voices on the show, I just think that will make them happy for winning the title. Ahmad Ezzat or Mido as he likes to be called did a great last performance on the show, he is that cool confident dude under pressure. Sharing the stage with Tunisian singer Saber El Rebaei wasn't easy, but he made it look so.

20 participants competed for the title for the duration of 105 days, but we are glad this season and the last prime have finally came to an end. Maybe now we can focus on the Arab spring. Congratulations for the winners....
