She is one of the biggest stars in the Arab world. Likened to Britney Spears – the Beirut-born Nancy Ajram was discovered as a child. By the age of 12 – she'd already won several awards on talent shows. And with the encouragement of her father, she set off on a path to stardom. Now Nancy is using her fame to become an advocate for underprivileged children and three years ago became UNICEF's first female ambassador for the Middle East and North Africa. Hear what Nancy Ajram had to tell Becky.

The Lebanese Britney Spears ? COME ON !
You are comparing greatness with decadence.
Is there a freakin' reason why CNN is turning to some cheap magazine?! this is a news channel, have more respect for the channel and stick to covering proper topics.
no, no, please, do not compare!
Nancy is a great singer, she is married with two girls
She definitely need to work out on her English language.
