Ahlam the Emirati singer, has come out with a new look, not for the first time, appearing on the Dubai show "Tratata" looking slimmer after a visible amount of weight loss. She looked markedly different from the 'before version' when she last appeared to us on "Arab Idol" as one of the judges. Just months ago, she appeared fuller-figured on our Arab Idol-tuned-in TV screens.
Ahlam faced a lot of negative criticism while starring in Arab Idol about her weight gain, especially the area around her stomach. She was advised to wear more appropriate loser-fitting clothes that hid all her bulges instead of wearing tight fitting items as the infamous camel toe trousers.
Still, a good sport, the Emirati singer assured us that she'd enjoyed a wonderful experience as a judge on Arab Idol, expressing that it was an important step in her career. As testimony to her gracious celebrity character, she also announced that she would indeed be hosting the second season of the show, contrary to rumors earlier that she was pulling out.
In a report in the Saudi newspaper "Al Youm", Ahlam admitted that she was attacked on several social media networks for her work on the show, believing the reason for this vicious scorn storm had something to do with her being the only person from the Gulf on the show. She pointed out that a lot of people from her home and wider Gulf region supported her with against these unjustified attacks, but thankfully she chose to not listen or pay heed to their criticism and hatred.
What do you think of all the negative press poured on Ahlam since Arab Idol? Do you think this had something to do with this weight loss
