I admit that Star Academy (the 1st season) had an influence on me and on most of the youth in the Arab World, it was a new concept that we weren’t used to see on any Arabic Channel especially with the real T.V. Now, Star Academy is in its 5th season, during the past 4 seasons, every year it became worse than the year before, with people from all over the Arab World as we used to see Jordanians participants.
During those years and in parallel with Star Academy, new technologies came up and most of Star Academy affected people were trying to utilize those technologies (SMS and web social networks mainly) in order to support their fans.
I heard about a band that’s called Akher Zapheer more than once. I didn’t have the chance to listen to any of their songs, but the other day I was watching a part of Al-Arabiyah news and they had a reportage about that band at the end.
Akher Zapheer as I got it, is a Jordanian band that plays the Underground music with Arabic lyrics. Basically I didn’t know if they have more than one song, but the one I heard its name is “7ob Ayam Zaman”; and it’s a good one up to an extent.
As I was planning, this morning I was very proud to introduce our new blog LOUD SIGHS, which will definitely be an extraordinary platform for you guys to express yourselves and to discuss all the issues that matter to you the most.
Loudsighs.com is another trial from my side to change I have done this website and video within one week, I wanted them to be some sort of different replies on the video of Queen Rania that has been published on her page on YouTube (but UNFORTUNATELY IT HASN’T BEEN ACCEPTED FROM THE MODERATOR OF QUEEN RANIA’S CHANNEL AS A REPLY), though I hope that this initiative will work as expected.
“Ya3teek el 3afyeh…”
“Ahlain…”
“Bs bedi as2alak, momken te7kilna kif 7asalt 3ala waziftak?”
That is the first part of the radio promotion that most of you heard on Play 99.6 FM or Rotana 99.9 FM. Today the Akhtaboot team is proud to introduce Akhtaboot himself in his first live appearance to the public in this animated video:

Few days ago I was in Lebanon; I used to see promotions in the streets for the latest releases of the artists. This time it was Elissa’s turn, the ads for her new album “Ayami Beek” were in every single street.
Two days before I left; Rotana started to publish a new promotion (you can see it in the picture). Maybe it’s ambiguous for some people. But it is obvious for anyone who knew that Nawal Al-Zoghbi signed with Rotana. “Sawa Men Jdid” became like a slogan for the new contract between Rotana and Nawal; diffidently it’s not the first time Nawal signs with Rotana but this time it seems to be different.

It’s rarely happens with me to go to the cinema to watch an Arabic movie unless the actor is Adel Emam. This time my friends were heading to watch an Arabic movie called Al-Jazira and offered me to join them, the only thing that I knew about it that Ahmad Al Saqa is the star of the movie; He’s a good actor but still in our Arab world the budgets are not enough to produce a good action movie. Although I was like go with the flow.
