Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Hams Fekri, a 29-year-old Saudi wedding singer from Jeddah, has been crowned the winner of the first season of “Saudi Idol” during a moving live finale from The Boulevard Riyadh City recreational complex.
The golden-throated Fekri was exultant after battling it out in front of a live studio audience and panel of judges for 13 weeks.
