The biggest moments of any Arabs Got Talent episode always come with tears – and the Saturday night season finale was no exception. When the hosts Qusai and Raya Abirached announced that dancer Salah The Entertainer had won the show’s fourth season, the 35-year-old Algerian-Moroccan stood frozen for several seconds, then broke into uncontrollable sobs. By the end of the evening – he was the last to perform – there was little doubt that Salah was the most deserving of the 10 finalists, combining smoothly synchronised moves and incredible flexibility. As a freestyle dancer known for his mastery of hip-hop’s popping moves, his command over his body coupled with his technique, skill and facial expressions made him the perfect package.
Unanimous praise
The Egyptian judge Ahmed Helmy, a comedian and actor, said: “You are a jewel; an artistic jewel. You do something incredibly difficult. You can easily put on a two-hour show without anyone getting bored.”
Salah, a professional dancer with a recurring show in Las Vegas, is a Paris resident who won the France’s Got Talent reality TV competition in 2006, but said that his “dream was to compete on Arabs Got Talent”.
“I wanted to prove my talent to the Arab world, as an Arab, and to respect my roots,” Salah said ahead of his performance.
