        She reached the final but didn't win unfortunately. When the judges first heard her singing in the preliminaries they couldn't believe that she's not Arab since her Arabic pronunciation while singing is impeccable.

        Here's a recent article that talks about her:

        American Jennifer Grout fell just short of the top prize in the “Arabs Got Talent” competition Saturday.

          Continuing on Irish Country scene, as talented as Derek Ryan and Nathan Carter, this fresh new start Lee Matthews in "Sadie's got her new dress on"



          In "Country Girl"



          and his cover "Love Shine a Light" as a charity song
          This is the Eurovision UK winner in 1997, so we are 17 years later, and still the song sounds as fresh now as a country song by an Irish singer, go figure

                        Orhan Gencebay (a huge star in Turkey, for good reason)

                        Here in "Gitti de gitti"

                        Plus footage of his albums and roles



                        Very recently Tarkan none other, the biggest pop star of Turkey, sang with him in this environmental song called "Uyan". Orhan appears towards the end of the video in a more acoustic approach.



                        Here Tarkan in a more traditional tune - "Kara Toprak"
