Even though Fady Maalouf did not win the title, his extraordinary voice and his charming personality had, by then, won him the hearts of an enormous fan base, which then, in an unprecedented effort, bombarded Sony BMG with letters, mails and phone calls, all demanding the same - the release of Fady Maalouf’s title "Blessed", performed by him during the final show.
After a contract with Columbia, a subsidiary of Sony BMG Music Entertainment
"Blessed" was released on 4 July 2008 as a single and went straight to no. 2 in the German single charts.
"Blessed" was written for Fady Maalouf by Jörgen Elofsson and Peer Åström, a songwriter team of international standing, who have worked with such names as Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Madonna, Britney Spears, Cyndi Lauper, Il Divo, and especially Céline Dion.
The song is produced by Alex Christensen, who has worked with artists such as Justin Timberlake, Tom Jones, Paul Anka or Michael Bolton.
The album, also named "Blessed" including 14 tracks, saw the light on 25 July 2008, and went as well straight to no. 2 in the German album charts.
