As part of the promotional campaign, Lara Scandar hosted a “GLAM” party where many of her “starac” were invited. The event was held on February 4th 2010 at what seemed a private residence in Cairo. Many familiar faces where seen during the event like Bash, Ibro, Sirag, Nasser Abo Lafi, Nader Quirat, Mohammad Attieh, and Mr. Wadi’ Abi Raed.


Other guests included Lebanese singer and actress Haifa Wehbe and producer and musician Jean-Marie Riachi. A noted appearance was that of Mohamad Bash, who looked extremely handsom and had his share of some poses taken beside the princess.

The “Mission is you” record was launched almost a day prior to the party at Virgin Stores in Cairo, where Lara was there herself and signed autographs “just as any other celebrity”. The event included a press conference as well, where the “CD” producer, Jean-Marie Riachi praised Lara for being a dedicated singer who has both the talents and the looks!! Check out the complete photo gallery of Lara Scandar which also includes photos from her “Mission is You” celebration event.


Lara Scandar, one of the very remembered graduates of season6, has addressed fans on her own Facebook page with the following; “I hope you can all make it on the 3rd of Feb. at Virgin, City Stars starting 4pm. I’ll be releasing and signing my CD- My new single ‘ Mission Is You’. See you there.” Today, Lara is expected to show up at Virgin stores, where the place is already filled with posters of her promotional photo shoot, promising earlier to sign the CD herself.
As for her first video-clip ever, Lara has been working hard to deliver something worth watching! The Mission-Is-You campaign will start in hours within the walls of Virgin stores in Cairo and later on Music-dedicated TV channels as well!
Starting months ago, Lara hired an award winning director, Ray Kay, who is also one of the most well-known talents behind a video camera in Los Angeles. Recently, Kay worked with American Idol runner-up, Adam Lambert, on his video “For Your Entertainment”. Shooting in the middle of Los Angeles, Lara did an amazing job, take a look at the “make of” below.

Star Academy6 graduate, Mohammed Bash, is double performing for Christmas in both Damascus and Aleppo “دمشق و حلب” on December 25th and 27th 2009. This Christmas Eve is going to be a special date for both Moh’d Bash and his fans, not because it is his first official concert, but because it is going to be a-one-of a kind party as well. It was reported that Bash will be singing some of his fans’ most loved songs, including those in English. A DJ will be playing the intro of the party, as well as a surprise event which Bash didn’t agree to reveal.
Both concerts will include huge monitors for those who won’t get a chance to have a front-class seats. The halls should be able to manage over 1000 people, and tickets are already being sold at “Inhouse Cafe”. Bash will start in Damascus on the 25th of December at Al Zahraa Cinema theater, and then will be in Aleppo at Dar al Tarbeya on the 27th of December 2009.

It is obvious that not only we “as Arabs” are somewhat interested in Turkish famous actors and singers. A week ago, a few of Star Academy students were invited to participate in a well-known Turkish TV program. Cynthia Karam, Nadir Quirat, Nazem Ezzeddine, IbrahimDashti, and Basma Bossell have all arrived to Turkey in-order to be there for their Turkish fans! The program is a light-comedy cooking-challenge based, where the stars cook some dishes live and then one of them is chosen as a winner. It was said that Mirhan Hussein was invited along with the students, but she had to apologize because she had other commitments.

As for some fresh news, Star Academy season Five graduate Mostafa Mezhar has just finished filming his new single video-clip “Sobak Rayeh” which means “Coming towards You”. Mostafa has chosen famous director Randly Kdaih and the song is expected to be seen on Music-related channels next week. The song tells the story of a lover who misses his loved one after departing from her, he becomes ready to let go of everything and get back to his lover.
The songs lyrics;
مش همّي الايام اللي راحو ولا همّي البُعد وجراحو
همّي شوفك بعد غياب حتى عينيي يرتاحو
اخد قلبي وصوبِك رايح بدي داوي الشّوق الجارح
بدي رَجِّع كل شي كان من حب ولهفة وحنان
مين قللك اني زعلان انا قبل الزّعل مسامح
بعرف موعودة برجوعي وعصوتي عم تغفي وتوعي
وحياتك لو كان بايدي انا كنت رجعت من مبارح

Lyrics of Nader Guiratt’s new song “L’Ange Perdu“:
Toutes ces pensées qu’on n’a jamais su exprimer
Ces mots d’amour qu’on garde tapis au fond de nous
Ceux qui nous viennent comme par magie nous frôlent nous touchent
Et puis s’envolent vers les nuages dans l’infini
Ces mots de velours qui ont bercé Mes tristes nuits
Toute cette passion, cette douce musique, cette symphonie
Seul dans le noir les mains qui tremblent, le coeur si las
Quel agonie, douce amertume quand je te voisRefrain :
Tous les poèmes que j’ai pu t’écrire
Mes regards mes sourires ces efforts si vains
Mon ange gardien la raison de ma vie
L’ancre de mes envies la flamme dans mon coeurPont :
Tous ces Moments qu’on avait partagé,
Je me rappele chacune de mes pensées ,
On a grandit on a changé on s’est perdus je t’ai retrouvée
mais pour toi je ne suis plus personne
Cherche dans ton coeur tu trouveras mon image,
Celle d’un enfant amoureux de bas-age,
Le même regard, l’envie de plaire, si passionné si téméraire
Lève les Yeux je suis la près de toiRefrain :
Tous les poèmes que j’ai pu t’écrire
Mes regards mes sourirs ces efforts si vains
Mon ange gardien la raison de ma vie
L’ancre de mes envies la flamme dans mon coeur
