Star Academy's Chosen 4 to Tour
As part of the usual schedule of Star Academy II, 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.

Final Star Academy Prime 15.04.2005
The last Prime of LBC Star Academy has been a big blast! It was the season’s finale, and was full of beautiful portraits, a great surprise guest and two finalists that fired up the atmosphere. Who won the Ford Mustang? 50.000$ ? and the title of “Star”?
The finalists, Saudi Hisham Abdul Rahman, and Tunisian Amani Swissi, have been competing for the title of “Star” for nearly 4 months. At the end of this prime it was revealed who has won the title of “Star” of the second season of the popular program Star Academy according to the voting of the audiences around the world.
The surprise guest was the famous Lebanese singer Asi El Hillani.
In addition to the surprise appearance of the “chosen four”; the four students to tour with the final four students who have stayed in the academy till the end. As well as Hisham, Amani, Ahmad Hussein and Zizi, there will be Bashar Ghazawi, Katia, Samer and Salma. They will start touring the Arab world in mid May.
The audiences both at the studio and watching from the comfort of their homes were on their tails waiting for the results of the votes. Lots of people wanted Hisham to win and others wanted Amani, but it was all down to how many votes were collected by the time the prime was over.
The results were very close; Hisham won the title and 50.000$ and a Ford Mustang with 51.84% of all votes, while Amani came in second with 48.16%.
Changes Must Be Made
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.
Hisham Vs. Ahmed H
According to teachers and many renowned artists, Ahmed H could give a lot more than Hisham can. Ahmed sings with feelings and has a beautiful warm voice like his father who is a professional singer.
Hisham Vs. Zizi
Absolutely no comparison! Zizi has improved since the very beginning and her voice was amongst the best in the whole Academy.
Hisham Vs. Amani
Again, no comparison! Amani is a dedicated and hard worker and when it comes to the title, she deserved it!
Students like Ahmed, Zizi and Amani were a lot more talented than Hisham.
They showed significant improvement through-out the entire period they stayed in the Academy. But when it comes to Hisham, he has been maintaining the same tone and no improvement whatsoever. Is Star Academy about singing skills, or acting skills or performance?! Or the 3 all together? Changes must be made to Star Academy 3.
