Young Arabs Got Talent contestant Yasmina mesmerised the show's judges, audience members and viewers at home with her powerful voice, when she auditioned for a place on the talent show last month.

But as usual, UAE singer Ahlam, who's a judge on the rival talent competition Arab Idol, was not impressed by the aspiring singer's voice.

The controversial starlet said Yasmina's voice is "borrowed, fake and has no passion when she sings."

Millions of Yasmina's fans disagreed with Ahlam, who, despite her nerves, sang Egyptian legend Umm Kulthum's "Inta Omri" (You're My Life) so beautifully.

Poor Yasmina said that she cried over Ahlam's negative comments, but is insisting on proving her wrong during the live episodes of the competition.

Meanwhile, AGT judge Najwa Karam told the showbiz newbie to ignore any criticisms of her and to have faith in her talent.

Fellow judge Ali Jaber told Yasmina, "I wish Ahlam was with us right now so she could hear just how talented you are."

Comedian actor Ahmed Helmy, who sits on the same judging panel, told the young contestant, "I'm not a music expert, but even if your voice is 'borrowed' I still love listening to it."

Ahlam was left red-faced after hearing the judges comments, but took to Twitter anyway to wage yet another war on her fellow celebs by saying, "Najwa Karam, Yasmina's voice is like a hot water bottle when shaken; a strong voice but without feelings."

But it was Lebanese-Emirati TV host and businesswoman Rabab al Nuaimi who had real faith in the Egyptian singer, and made her an offer that she can't refuse!

"I'm ready to adopt Yasmina and produce her music under my company Atwi Productions," offered Rabab.

Will Yasmina accept Rabab's offer, or will she try and win the fierce Arabs Got Talent competition?
