Syrian singer Shaheen makes history with 'The Voice' victory

(Web Desk) - Syrian singer Joudy Shaheen has made history by winning the sixth season of “The Voice: Ahla Sawt,” becoming the first Syrian contestant to claim the title in the Arab television franchise.

Shaheen emerged victorious after a season-long competition featuring performers from across the Arab world, earning widespread acclaim from both judges and viewers for her vocal power, technical precision, and emotional delivery.

Her win marks a significant milestone for Syrian artists on one of the region’s most-watched talent shows.

Advancing to the final round with a standout classical performance, Shaheen topped audience voting, sealing her place in the program’s history and delivering a long-awaited triumph for Syrian representation on the show.

Her victory capped a strong season for Syrian contestants, two of whom reached the semifinals, highlighting the continued presence and resilience of Syrian musical talent on the regional stage.

The Voice, which originated in the Netherlands in 2010 and focuses exclusively on vocal ability rather than appearance, has since been adapted in dozens of countries worldwide.

The Arabic-language edition recently returned after a hiatus, featuring a new judging panel and live broadcasts, and continues to attract a broad audience across the region.
