SuperStar (Arabic: سوبر ستار) was an Arabic television show based on the popular British show Pop Idol created by Simon Fuller's 19 Entertainment & developed by Fremantle Media. The show unites the Arab community by democratically choosing the next singing sensation. The show is broadcast worldwide on Future TV, a Lebanese television station. It is also the first Idol franchise to feature contestants from multiple countries.
The show was a huge success. Ali Jaber, the executive manager of Future TV, was quoted as saying "This (program) is the most successful for an Arab television. There isn't a television program that moved the Arab world like that."
However, SuperStar was eclipsed by rival show Star Academy on LBC in the Middle East, in terms of popularity and ratings, after only its first season. It has been surpassed by Star Academy as the number one Arab show, and did not move the Arab world the way it did during the first season.
Future TV subsequently lost the Idol licence to the MBC network, which in 2011 relaunched the programme after changing its name to Arab Idol on MBC 1.
lost the Idol licence to the MTV Lebanon & FOX Egypt channel, which in 2011 relaunched the programme as SuperStar.
