just wanted to say that khaled is NOT somali, he is ALGERIAN!!!! and his music is NOT somali music but RAI MUSIC this is one of the many types of algerian music.
Moe from Feluka band
I am a musician and a singer myself, my band is called Feluka and we are based in Leeds north England. Khaled....WOW....for those who think Khaled can't play an instrument, I say: you know nothing about Khaled. He plays the accordion,the keyboard, the guitar, the Oud, the violin, the bass,percussion, the Guembri....And he sings and write. Unfortunately many people don't know Khaled the musician.He is simply WOW.Rabi yahafdah

GHAZI ALOUI NEW YORK
khaled is not only a singer but he is a true arabic artist, that reflect the poetic image of his background. Each word of his songs reminds me of a colour ,a moment of life,a book or a sound of haven.listining to khaled is like listining to a deep voice with a warm perspective, libereted from underearthe to express a sincere feeling or thought that other are not aware of it,it is his soul that sing and not his voice,that is why his message go right to the soul of the audience,and i belive that is a gift of god to the whole world.and specially to young arab ,that identify their personality to him.khaled is a perfectionist,he represent each corner of his world wich all fan share it with him.his world is a flash back of youth and childhood,love and peace passion and dream.when i listen to aicha i travel back to the nest of beauty and poesie of the arab history,and when i listen to didi i travel thousand of years in a future full with joy and happiness.the contrast of his palet creat a well balanced saharian recepie composed of organic ingrdients,that sculpture his identity and others forever.

asma,,jordan
altho i like khaled but i have to say that no one compares to amr diab i know many people who don't know a ward in arabic from east asia to amirica even in nigeria but they like amr so much .... AMR DIAB didn't sing in other languages to get famous and didn't sing with jewish singer like khaled altho he knows v.well that this is not rightand just said"it's ok" amr diab respects himself and his fans he never disappointed us i think u have 2 show more respect they are 2 great singers but i prefer amr diab ,,i love him since i was about 4 and i think he deserves so much more good luck for amr diab and khaled and all arabian singers

Samir chakri, France
Khaled is one of the best singers of the world, it's very important to see him performing in a live concert. Very BIG!!!!
Baruch, Atlanta/USA
He has all voice processing softwares naturally built into his vocal cords. I heard him couple of times live, you would think hearing a choir of 10 singers performing simultaneously. This guy simply rocks!
siwana, dallas tx
to ahmed uk. its too bad you don't think khaled is the best arab singer. You dont have to understand him and his lyrics in order to love his music. If you have the feel for music, you can enjoy any music of the world, no matter in what language it's in. And who cares about your amr diab. Khaled is known and respected worldwide, Amr is known solely in the arab world.

Khalid is the King of rai no matter what people say he basically founded The Rai Music and spread it to the world along with Mami and others. I just hope he will carry on making music. God Bless Him

you're a fantastic sing we love you so much
Karim California
For those who think Kaled is not a great singer, you know nothing about "Rouge w lkass"I saw Khaled in San Francisco this summer and I saw how everybody was reacting for his music you could hear his Riggi son Walli Ldarek from the Freeway. wher hundreds of cars stoped to go to pick. It was amasing when Carlos Santana joined him with his Guitar, those who do not know Santana They do not need to be blamed for what they say about khaled.I listen to Khaled everyday in The Streets of San Francisco and over the Golden Gate Bridge....Come back Khaled to SF we love you.
abdelghani mahouh casa
khaled ....rai...it's my life
Ahmed, UK
How can you call him the master and the king of the arabic music while we don't understand a word of what's he saying. I think Amr Diab deserve it more. At least he sings in arabic and I think he is the best seller in the middle east!! and his songs are international even though a lot of people don't know his name..such as Nur El Ein, and tamaly maak which was in one the buddha bar CDs
DeeDoo
I love you Khaled, you are absolutory The King of Rai & you will always be the Best in the World.. Congratulation for the BBC Award you deserve it..

DJAMILA , LONDON
KHALED IS GOOD BUT THE BEST SINGER IS ABDELKADER BAKHTI I LOVE HIS ALBUM ALIANORD EXPRESS HE IS GREAT AND SO TALANTED HE PLAYS ALL INSTRUMENTS HIMSELF UNLIKE KHALED WHO CAN JUST SING.
mounera, harrow
I would say that cheb Khaled is a great singer, he sure does have a nice voice. However there are singers out there that are much better than him. I love abdelkader saadoun he's a man of many talents! He's a musician as well as a singer. I'll be surprised if he doesn't go far.
manal, london
A great album I must say! Khaled is a man of many talents! Great lyrics and a phenomenal voice. His music has inspired and influenced other rai singers. I loved his new album.
Abel, England
he is simply the best, he is natural, spontaneous and adorable. well for those who think he s singing in berber, id would say its not berber but a dialect of what we call L'ORANAIS back home, and it s simply the area north west the country. i dont wanna be long but his music does not have to be understood as it has to be felt ... this' the key message of Rai music. OHHH, one more thing ... never compare amr diab to khaled coz his songs have NEVER been in the charts except in the arab world not even in north africa (excludin EGYPT) so .... comparez pas l'incomparable :)... Khaled, t'es le roi.
mustapha/ new york
khaled is ok but people need to listen to cheb nasro and cheb bilal.
cheb achraf u.a.e

nour EGYPT
khaled is a very talented singer and AMR DIAB is also talented and famous,the deuo they made was awsome! they were really great,but i think that AMR DIAB deserves this award more than khaled coz AMR also is an international singer just like khaled and he also won the world music award 2 times which no singer did in the arab world and that doesnt underestimate khaled's ability.
Yasmin
I have never heard him sing Arabic, but only Berber. He is a great singer, but not an Arabic singer.

i think that amr diab should win this year i mean in 2005 because his album (leily nhary)is amazing and sold millions of copies so he really desreve it more than khaled especially that AMR DIAB took the world music award in 1996 and 2002

Heather from USA
Hi All: I have heard a couple songs from Amr Diab, but I have heard more of Khaled. I am American, but I love his music with the right beats, the right lyrics, and the right voice. The very first song I heard was Di Di, which was back in 1997 when I was hanging out with Sudanese friends. Funniest thing is that now I listen to a lot more world music, especially from Khaled. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER CONCERT AND WHERE?
sophie female
I don’t think he should win because he hasn’t got a good voice in the song
nizam london
he is the one who has sold his soul to the west for a fistful of dollars...wher is he now will he ever go back to his roots and salute the chaabi or continue to beg for recognition from the west someday he will be let down but then it will be too late a lost son.
Salim, UK
To Helen , UK. I believe the two songs you're looking for are Aicha and Didi, both are mega hits world wide (but sadly unknown in the English speaking countries). You can find Didi in the album Khaled 1994 and Aicha in Sahra album 1997. you can purchase both albums from www.amazon.co.uk. Both albums are worth the money. Regards
ahmed egypt
although i am egyptian i, idon't think we can compare amr diab with khaled, amr diab is a local singer but khaled is a wordwide famous, a creator of a music style, owns a long history of a great songs, don't underestimate him by comparing him with amr diab.....

Khalid is nice singer. But There is another singer better than him, i mean Amr Diab. He is The one who should take the award.
Helen, UK
I went to the concert and it was AMAZING, I loved Khaled!! I've bought Ya-Rayi, but there were two songs he did on the day that I really liked which aren't on it. I was wondering if anyone knows what songs they are and where I can get hold of them? On the video thingy that Radio 3 has posted of him, they are the song that starts at about 23 minutes and the one following it. If anyone knows, can you post please? Thanks!
Mark, UK
He is still the greatest - respect!
CHERIF AL ANNABI LONDON
He has one of the greatest voice on the planet there is a star a superstar and KHALED
I am Mohammed from Morocco but I live in USA
Honestly, Khaled is the Arab singer number one who attract the western with his Phenomenal Voice and Music and he deserves more Awrards .I remeber once when I saw him on TV singing in Italy in front of Collin Powell ,the Italian president and Other European Pesidents ,Arab personalities and some Hollywood stars .
osamah -SaudiArabia
khaled is the beast and the great singer in the world!! he is the king of music.I wish I can see him in concert
Bilal Chaaban Lebanon
He's the only Arabic singer who represents the Arab and tells the world that we have a wonderful taste of music..He's really innovative and great and he's my best singer...I wish he will have more success..
Umit England
I think his voice is superb and even if you don't understant what he is saying you can feel it. He can represent voice of freedom and unity between people.
Krimo Hartlepool
Khaled has brought Rai to the rest of the world by mixing western instruments with the traditional ones. He may not be the best but he's introduced the world to a whole new kind of music. I am biased because I am Algerian but to hear Western Music Cognocenti raving on about his style has to be taken seriously. Keep on going, Khaled!

Khaled its true that he is the king, but we can forget the great compositeur Safy Boutela, Safy and kkaled = The Real Rai Musik
amel,UK
As an Algerian, I must say that I now prefer listening to new Algerian singers. His songs do not make it for me any more. Khaled is out of fashion in Algeria!. However, he will always stay the king of Rai and remain a great singer who knows how to turn concerts into big events.
Reda Hassaine frm London
Khaled was the king and still the king and will stay the king of RAI for ever.In fact, he is only the king
Wyssem (Saint-Hubert, Canada)
Cheb Khaled is a modest man, he has been singing for many years, for many people and countries, he is special as a Raï Singer and other styles, I definitely LOVE him, the songs he sings and all what he do. Vote for him, he deserve it!!
Islam Karam, Oman
Undoubtly Khaled,The King Of Rai, deserves the awards. His Vocal and Music is so inserational and mystic. His lyrics are valuable wisdom for everyday life of Mankind. His multi-dimensional talents can't be decribed by word but only throught feelings. I just can't wait for the new release of the King Of Rai.
Hanane, USA
Khaled is my favourite singer of all time. There are so rai singers out there, but he will always stand out. He cares about his music and the love of his country. The music is amazing and the lyrics are meaningful. He doesn’t talk about trash, his music is AWESOME!! More people need to about the number one best selling Arab artist.
Naguib from Montreal Canada
He is simply the Best
Noor : Somalia
Khaled was already called King of the Rai, he is great and the best singer in arabic voice and also the best acting when he's on the theatre, his talent is really magic, for example when he's with his group and they are singing this song (Abdul Qaderiya)even if u don't understand Arabic u can understand the lyrics and what he's singing easy cuz he got the most acting and gesture movement then everybody singer, Long life Khalid and be forever the best singer in the arab nation, We are realy proud of u brother.....Abdul Qaderiya...Hmmm
joan
great music
Steve, California
I love Khaled music. I discovered his music for the first time ten years ago when a friend of mine offered one of his old discs. Since then I have every new CD of Khaled. He has a great voice, one of the best voices I have ever heard. He made me listen to other arabic singers. I vote Khaled.
Ibrahim, PALESTINE
his voice is great and his music is very unique. great song!
Nabil Beaconsfield Bucks (via Algeria)
He is simply the best. Apart from his voice, the rhythm, the happiness that transpires when he sings, the energy...yeah..simply the best.. Many young ones follow adding more diversity
Gergana Mitalova;Bulgaria

Tina & Kamal
I love his voice, its cheerful and sexy. With his smily face, how can you resist the charm of his music ! The King of Rai is unique and nobody can supersede him !

Khaled- king of rai- should definitely win an award- he is a master of music, a world superstar, with one of the most incredible voices ever. He also has an incredible fan base and his concert at shepherds bush was supreme

I accidentally listened to his music through the satellite channel of my country for the first time. It was the moment that I fell in love with World Music and Khaled. Since then, I have been still in love with HIS MUSIC and VOICE.

As Algerian I'll say average khaled is now old there are younger singers much much better than him.
Arif , Stockholm

Khaled was already called King of Rai on 1985, he is great and the best Arabic voice and also the best singer. His quality, his talent is really magic, YA RAYI for exemple is composed of very old songs some ones since 1954 but the way he make give a new soul, new life to this songs. KHALED is and will be forever the best. we wish for him and his music more success.

Khalad's music very essential and the music just go with his voice. You really don't have to understand the word to move along with the beat and his amazing voice.

Aicha was my introduction to Khaled and everything since has only made me love Rai more... It's always great to see a group of Kenyans etc dancing to something from our counterparts up north.

Great music, even if I don't understand the lyrics.
Abdul MAJID - Morocco
The best singer and performer in the arab world by far. His song writing is so true to our society. No wonder that he's biggest in algeria and Morocco.
Richard Dorrell
I cannot think of anyone else with so much simultaneous power and vocal control.
CHRIS, LONDON
It's a fantastic album and he was in fine form when I saw him at the Shepherds Bush Empire on Sunday. I can't understand why they didn't put out Ya-Rayi or H'mama out as a single in Britain or France.
ahmed EGYPT
