We all know that Mohammad Assaf is the one that stole the hearts of judges and viewers alike in Arab Idol's second season, but his fellow contestant Ahmad Jamal has something to proudly show from his experience too.

Amr Diab has graciously given the Egyptian contestant and newcomer to the industry his previously recorded song "Fi Qalbi Makanak "(Your Place is in my Heart).

According to Laha Magazine, Amr had first recorded the song with the intent of including it in his recent album, but changed his mind at the last minute for various reasons. At the end, Amr agreed to the request of song poet Mohammad Al Rifae to present the song to Ahmad Jamal.

Now we know there'll be at least one gem in the up and coming artist's first album. Will it be worth buying the whole thing? Tell us your thoughts in the comment box below!
