The new series of TV talent show, Arab Idol [2], hasn't even appeared on the region's screens yet but already the hype surrounding the judges and the contestants has hit boiling point.
With new judge, Nancy, in tow [3], the cast set off for Beirut this week to make sure that even those of us who've been hiding under a rock for the last year will know about Arab Idol 2.
Ahlam [4], Ragheb, Nancy et al are filming a promo for season 2 to get us all glued to our screens and the finalists and winners of last season [5] are composing a song especially for the beginning of the first show.
So if you thought you could escape the pre-series mania, you'd be wrong!
