Last night was the final night of the Jordanian Band Competition, which was organized by Orange Red and The French Cultural Center for a whole year, Salam won the first place, followed by Zaid Hamarneh & Vengo second, while Jadal came third.

The event, which was held at The Royal Cultural Center, was full of excitement and energy, one can notice that Jadal is the most popular band among the three, and I guess the final results were not so pleasing for the majority of the crowd, who left the theater right after announcing the results and didn’t wait to see Salam in their final performance.

This event clearly shows that Jordan lacks musicians, three musicians played with both Vengo and Salam, so half of both bands was the same, could this be the reason that Jadal came last? :) Not only that, Salam featured the lovely voice of Sho Hal Ayam, Enass.

I guess you can’t be with two competitors at the same event, could you?

Personally I don’t like Jadal, and I thought that Salam were good, but if you think about it, Jadal performed only in Arabic, in a Jordanian accent, unlike Zaid Hamarneh & Vengo, who performed purely in a Lebanese accent, Salam performed in both Arabic and English, I wonder isn’t the local accent an important factor in such competitions?

Anyway congratulation to all winners! And looking forward for this year’s competition.
