Omer Adam (Hebrew: עומר אדם; born October 22, 1993) is an Israeli singer. His music fuses elements of eastern "Mizrahi" (Oriental- Middle eastern) and western pop instrumentation. In 2009, he participated in the seventh season of ''Kokhav Nolad'' (in Hebrew כוכב נולד), a popular ''Idol'' series show in Israel, but disqualified because of controversy about his true age at time of application. Despite this, Omer Adam has continued to enjoy great popularity releasing his debut album in 2010 with a number of successful singles as well. ==In ''Kokhav Nolad''== In season 7 of the ''Kokhav Nolad'' show, Omer Adam sang the following songs: *Audition: "Aba" (Father) from Shlomi Shabat〔(Omer Adam audition performance singing "Aba" from Shlomi Shabat )〕 *Week 1 (29 June 2009): "Isha ne'emana" (A loyal woman) from Yishai Levi *Week 2 (5 July 2009): "Tza'ir lanetsakh" (Forever young) from Rami Kleinstein *Week 3 (12–13 June 2009): "Niguna shel hashkhuna" (The neighborhood's song) from Izhar Cohen (as a duo with Moran Mazuz) *Week 4 (19 July 2009): "Ma hu ose la" (What does he do to her) from HaGashash HaHiver (as a trio with Re'em Cohen and Hovi Sekulets) *Week 4 (20 July 2009): "Marlene" from Zohar Argov (originally by Enrico Macias) *Week 5 (26 July 2009): "Yak'had" (Together) from Kobi Peretz & Ishtar) (as a duo with Vladi Blayberg) *Week 5 (27 July 2009): "Mima'amkim" (From the depths) from Idan Raichel's Project *Week 6 (2 August 2009): "Aba" (Father) from Shlomi Shabat *Week 6 (3 August 2009): "At Vaani" (You and I) from Shlomo Artzi As a result of the performances in week 6, initially the judges classified him as 3rd of 9 for his "Aba" performance and 4th of 8 for his "At Vaani" performance. However controversy broke, when a blogger Omri Hayon and Ynet online news service revealed that Omer was just 15 years and 7 months when he applied.〔(nrg.co.il: עומר אדם התפוטר מ כוכב נולד ) (in Hebrew)〕〔(Interview by Avi Shoshan on Xnet: עומר אדם עושה היסטוריה ) (in Hebrew)〕 The minimum age for applying for the show is 16 years. Omer Adam admitted that the allegation was correct and withdrew from the competition mid-way through the season. Zvika Hadar, host of the show responded by saying: "The important thing is that Omer realized his mistake, apologized and took the right decision. Our role is to provide equal admission to all contestant we cannot compromise on this case. Many candidates who came for auditions were rejected because of their age."〔(Ynet: עומר אדם פרש מ כוכב נולד ) (in Hebrew)〕 Omer Adam's disqualification was announced officially on August 5, 2009, despite him being one of the favorites to reach the final. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Omer Adam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
