All hail the conquering hero! Hussein Al Jassmi comes in first on X Factor Arabia! Well, ok, Mohammed Al Rifi actually did, but Hussein gets a little glory too. After all, he was the celebrity team leader for his age group of over 25 that guided his path to success. Second-place competitor Ibrahem Abdul-Athem was also in his group, giving him the silver lining too!
How victorious should he rightfully feel? Rumors are running rampant that he bought Mohammed's way past Adham Al-Nabulsi, an expected crowd favorite. The truth of the matter we may never know, but either way Hussein is totally on a high, and the official announcement is that he's the champ.
Hussein believed in Mohammed from the beginning, nicknaming him "The Volcano" because of his unique vocal talent.
