The fifth (and last) season of ''SuperStar'' was launched on Future TV on the 24 February 2008. This year, many changes occurred, such as the fact that the Results shows would happen on Thursdays instead of Mondays, so it will allow the audience to have five days to vote for their favorite contestants. Egyptian singer and SuperStar alumni Wael Mansour would host the show with Miss Lebanon 2004 Majdala Khatar, replacing Egyptian anchorman Ayman Qaissouni. Also, the introduction of a new female judge, Jihane, who joined Elias Rahbani, Ziad Boutros and Abdallah El Qaoud. This year, 12 contestants (7 males and 5 females) would get into the final stage. On 24 July 2008, Lebanese contestant Elie Bitar won the contest against Saudi contestant Abdelmajeed Ibrahim. Even though running for five seasons, ''SuperStar'' was eclipsed by rival show ''Star Academy'' on LBC in the Middle East, in terms of popularity and ratings, after only its first season. It has been surpassed by ''Star Academy'' as the number one Arab show, and did not move the Arab world the way it did during the first season. Future TV subsequently lost the Idol licence to the MBC network, which in 2011 relaunched the programme as ''Arab Idol'' on MBC 1. == Auditions == Auditions took place in the following cities : * Beqaa Valley, Lebanon * Tripoli, Lebanon * Cairo, Egypt * Amman, Jordan * Tunis, Tunisia * Baghdad, Iraq * Kuwait City, Kuwait * Manama, Bahrain * Casablanca, Morocco 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「SuperStar (season 5)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
