Ahmed Helmy Hesitated Before Joining Judges on "Arabs Got Talent"

Egyptian star Ahmed Helmy revealed his enthusiasm as the beginning of the third season of “ Arabs Got Talent” draws nearer, confirming that in the first episode, in which the judges see some real talent, was very strong and displayed the abundant talent from all over the Arab world.

Helmy added that he made sure to watch the show in its first and second seasons, but never imagined one day he would be included in the judging panel. He didn’t hide the fact when he was approached to take part in the MBC program he hesitated, saying it was a huge responsibility that largely falls on the judges.

Helmy recalled going into the studio to record the first episode, saying he felt a mix of contradictory emotions, on the one hand a huge sense of joy and high energy, and on the other concern and a huge amount of responsibility. In any case, he was really amazed at the amount of diverse and exceptional talent on the program.

As for his relationship with his fellow judges, Helmy said they became close rather quickly. He described the studio environment as one of harmony and a family feel shared among the judges and crew members, and stressed that the main role of the jury is to encourage these talents to deliver their best and to encourage them to develop their skills and give their best in the coming stages of the show.

The third season of “Arabs Got Talent” will premiere this Sunday at 8 PM on MBC4 and MBC Masr. Helmy’s fellow judges include Najwa Karam, Nasser Al-Gasabi and Ali Gaber.
