Sarbel is a hugely talented and impressive singer who has become a major part of European and Middle Eastern music in a matter of months! i love his voice and his wide range of music and without a doubt, recommend him to all listeners out there!

He is Lebo and Greek Theo Christophanou, North London

[edit] revert war?

These edits [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] make it pretty clear that we don't yet have consensus on the issue of whether Sarbel is of Lebanese origin, and if so to what extent it should be mentionned in the article. Can we work out an NPOV here on that talk page, rather than constantly reverting the article? I am neutral in this debate, I'm just sick of all the reverts.

As far as I have always understood, Sarbel has a Greek Cypriot mother and Lebanese father. So to say he is "of British and Lebanese descent" is incorrect. 81.110.77.229

so if he has a Greek-cypriot father and a lebanese mother why is the country of his origin Greece? Shouldnt it be Cyprus or Lebanon? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.1.72.245 (talk) 11:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC).

No. According to wikipedia, Origin is where the singer started their musical career, which is also in the begging paragraph. Greekboy 17:12, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Also just puting this in here. "In an interview in March 2007, Sarbel made it clear that he dosnt want an international career by saying "I don't care neither being famous abroad nor start an international career. I only care for Greece. I grew up abroad but choose to live in Greece. I can't tell you whether Eurovision helps my career or not, because I don't know. It's very dangerous. However, it is an experience I want to live. I want to have fun in the Contest and do my best.".

On TV, he also said "I'm not English, but I was just raised there.". With that said, the origin field on the wikipedia is for where the singer started his career and his famous in. So it would be Greece anyway. Greekboy 21:54, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
