Singer Joseph Attieh, winner of the third season of Star Academy, is back on the music scene with a patriotic song for his troubled country Lebanon.

Lebanon celebrated its 71st Independence Day on Nov 22, even though officially the day's celebrations were called off, as reported in the Daily Star, and surely, many Lebanese singers, including Elissa and Najwa Karam, held special performances for the occasion. This did not prevent Google nontheless from marking the day doodle-style with the Lebanese Dabkeh!

However, Joseph showed everyone that bigger is better with his song "Akbar Mennun Killon" (Bigger Than Them All), which expressed his love for Liban and his devotion to it, but also included all the countries of the world as well.

His lyrics were loud and clear: Every nation is bigger and stronger than its occupier and injustuce, reported Al Jaras magazine.

"Bigger Than Them All" was written by Emile Fahd, composed by Yahia Al Hassan, distributed by Danny Hilo and produced by "System Productions."

As for a music video, well, you'll be able to watch that in the next few days!

If you'd like to see Joseph perform live - and not just on video - you can do that on New Year's Eve in Lebanon, and in Sweden for the Holidays!
