In pictures: Arabs Got Talent Finalists
Nadir Ammar. Morocco. The routine:Disco juggling is probably the best way to describe the young Moroccan’s performance. As well as the near dozen balls Amaar has in the air at anyone time, he is also happy to throw a few nice dance moves in there as well. Final words: “We all worked very hard to be here and I am glad to share the moments with the other contestants.” Courtesy Arabs Got Talent
Sima, Lebanon. The routine: The Lebanese ballet ensemble know how to use the stage with dancers making use of the lights to creative evocative imagery. Final words For what we do, it is humbling to get such a reaction from a such a big audience. Courtesy Arabs Got Talent
Mohammed Bayyoumi, Egypt. The routine: the 19-year-old may call his manoeuvres “popping dance”, but it is more akin to slick choreographed steps you would see in most American R&B videos. Final words: “By making it to the final, I felt I found myself. It is a great position.”Courtesy Arabs Got Talent
Karimbo, Morocco. The routine: the man and contortionist dances like an Octopus and thrills viewers with routines that have him twisting himself into a frenzy. Final words: “I am very happy to be dancing and representing all the Arabs in the final.” Courtesy Arabs Got Talent
Jennifer Grout, US-Egypt. The routine: the Egyptian American made global headlines for pitch-perfect renditions of operatic Arabic classics without knowing the language. Final words: “I never expected to get this far and feel so privileged to perform in the final.” Courtesy Arabs Got Talent
Shawarai’na, Egypt. The routine: Shawari’na, which means “our streets”, are a playful lounge music sextet. Some of the arrangements could be pedestrian but the vocals harmonies are spot on. Final words “Whatever happens, we are happy because we got here based on votes by the audience.” Courtesy Arabs Got Talent
Sheyaab, Kuwait. The routine: a Saudi comic crew of young dancers dressed up as grandpas and explode on stage with sharp moves. Final words “We are enjoying our time so far. We hope it reaches its peak on Friday.” Courtesy Arabs Got Talent
Cherifian Troup, Morocco. The routine: a very polished dance crew, the Chieftan Troupe meld a lot influences from circus acrobatics to street theatre. Final words “There have been a lot of Moroccan acts doing well in the competition. We hope to be the first act from our country to win.”
Lutfi Bou Sidra, Tunisia. The routine: a solid all-rounder with routines mixing salsa steps with some Michael Jackson moonwalking action. Final words: "This programme is special to me. It show you can bring us together and show unity through creativity.” Courtesy Arabs Got Talent
Mohamed Al Dairi, Palestine. The routine: the Palestinian artist blazed through the competition with snappy portraits created within minutes through spray cans and regular paint. Final words: “I want to prove that Palestinians have talents. And they all are peace and joy lovers.” Courtesy Arabs Got Talent
Daniel Sayyegh, Lebanon. The routine: one-man Stomp. Lebanon’s Daniel Sayegh has been pounding out big sounds from elaborate percussion set-ups including pots and pans, boxes, plastics and wooden objects. Final words: “I am glad to know that the audience appreciate this kind of talent but on the other hand it is a big responsibility being in the finals.” Courtesy Arabs Got Talent
