A new show will start to broadcast on the Arabic satellite television channel MBC in mid-September where presenters Nancy Me’mari will hold one on one interviews with Arab stars to talk about themselves. 

 

Prominent Iraqi singer Kathem El Saher came to Beirut to film two episodes for the show. In the show Kathem reveals for the first time his experience as a soldier for six years in the Iraqi army. 

 

The singer talked about the real reasons behind leaving Iraq and that he is waiting for the right time to go back to the country he loves. 

 

El Saher has been the fans favorite for a decade now, and that came because of his successful selection of his music in terms of words and tunes. The Arab star is about to release his latest album which has been delayed for some time now. However, news surfaced that there are some problems between Kathem and critics, who are waiting for him to fall or make a slight mistake to attack him by all their means.  

 

El Saher expected that in the closing ceremony of the Egyptian TV nights, the star was suffering severe pains but despite that, he went up stage and started singing while being under painkillers effect.  

 

Some people working in the entertainment world have managed to affect the unique relation between prince Waleed Bin Talal , owner of Rotana production company, and Kathem leading matters to evolve to the extent that Kathem’s latest news was not mentioned in any of the press releases by Rotana despite the great accomplishments he is making internationally.  

 

Kathem handed in the master copy of his latest album since July but Rotana is still delaying the release. The album will face problems because the summer season had ended and the album will be released at a very bad timing. Despite all the failed attempt to ruin Kathem’s reputation, fans will always be eager to listen to his new works –Albawaba.com
