Haifa Wehbe
Nancy Ajram
Sherine Abdel Wahhab
Result
Looks
Her poster adorns every 15-year-old’s room, and probably a good few older men’s too.
We’d suggest there’s been more than a little work done there, but we’re too polite to say so.
Compared to the other two? She’s the pint-sized girl next door.

Most Creative Song Title
Ana Haifa … genius.
Ana Masray … profound and incorrect.
Enak … I’m what?
Nancy wins
Scandals?
Derogatory comments about Algerians and Egyptians mean she won’t be a UN goodwill ambassador anytime soon.
Well, it was claimed that she bought a Pan-Arab award in 2008, but then, we’d do the same if we were in her shoes.
Divorce, on again off again relationships, nothing too racy, and she’s got nothing on Haifa.
Score draw between Haifa and Nancy
Winner: Nancy Ajram
Nancy’s a veritable music-making machine with an incredible seven albums since 1998. Add in the DVDs and live albums and she’s shifting some serious units. She may be trumped in the vocal department by Sherine, and she’s a little too girl-next-door to compete with Haifa, but she’s got endorsements with just about everyone. If you want the stereotypical modern pop-star, Nancy’s your girl. Plus, you’ve got a bit of scandal to salivate over, true, it’s probably not as bad as insulting whole nations, but (allegedly) buying awards? That’s pretty funny.
