The Rea' takes over the 5th element on Play 99.6! Why do we need foreigners taking over our DJs!
The 5th element, one of the, let me call it, pioneer radio shows across the middle east, as i stated once upon a time on this blog. Is a specialized radio show in Rap, Hip hop, and R'n'B that started ever since the early days of Play 99.6, by Dj Shadia Bseiso.
The Show got famous, and its presenter and spinner too ... so the show started to appear on Radio One Lebanon. And DJ shadia started getting a pan-arab reputation, and got to be part of several performances in Jordan, Lebanon, the GCC, and even Algeria, and maybe other places that i didn't get to know about!
Now after i got back from abroad last September, I mentioned that the 5th element is not any more on Play 99.6. instead, is the Rea' (or whateva it is called), a similar radio show by DJ Swerve. Who used to, by the way, one of the main supports of Dj Shadia and her show, with either jingles, remixes, and exclusive stuff!
I didn't contact shadia nor the management of play yet about this issue, and didn't want to ruin my wonders About this change!
I mean, the 5th element was going towards a bigger and bigger pan-arab scope, and i would have love to see this show being sold to radio stations across the middle east .... and now, its not being aired any more on the station where it 1st started!! here in jordan, on Play 99.6
By this, Play 99.6 has almost no more jordanian DJs! I already have a critique about the fact that Play, as well as other western radio stations in town are depending on non-jordanian staff to appear on the air!!!
Now i know that Dj Shadia does study in Beirut, and that the show is being recorded in Beirut's Radio 1 most of the time! When it is done, that is, since sometimes I used to find that the same episode of show is being aired for more than one week, or that the show is just a set of songs mashed up together.
But still .... i dunno ,,, that's not how things should have been or ended!
Is Dj Swerve's show less expensive for Play 99.6 than Dj Shadia's!!!!!
Maybe Dj Shadia has no problem with Swerve taking over .... but, I'm showing off a listener opinion around here...
Why are we still facing those couple of issues on the jordanian airwaves, substituting a Jordanian personnel with a foreigner, and the fact that we do still have radio shows that keep flipping on most of the radio stations (well, it doesn't happen that often to be mentioned on most of the radio stations,, but it still happens, just like that ... with a simple tick!) !
Drop your 2 cents in here regarding this issue..

The 5th Element – a Middle Eastern Media Brand?!
You must have came over a show entitled (The 5th Element) with Dj Shadya on Play FM 99.6 , they even had an event at Nai earlier this year entitled (Explicit).
Despite the fact that im a Rock & alternative music fan,and a very Anti-Rap & R’n’B huge switch on the market during 2004, & Rap‘s switch in general from a sound of freedom in mid & end 90s to simple pornography in post-2K ,,, but this is an R’n’B,Rap, & HipHop show that i do respect very much, simply for its professionalism & subjectivity in the industry ... this 1 hour show is simply: a Brand!
The friday before, being in Irbid, I have 2 radio stations that i switch between being there every now & then, those are Jordan FM on its northern airwave of 90.9 FM & a Lebanese station by the name of Radio One on 105.5 FM (it transmits from the wester Lebanese mountains chain, thus u can get in the northern parts of Jordan, particularly Irbid, mafraq , & some areas in Ajlun Mountains).
I’ve always related Radio 1’s style to Jordan’s Play FM ... not that much in the play list, since Radio 1 has a much more wider variety that includes alternative music & Rock unlike Play’s redundant R’n’B & pop dance style,,, but in the domain being a commercial hit music station... & even the jingles style... well,, ok ,, we all know that some play jingles are “inspired” from famous commericals,, just like Microsofts Xbox promo (Live’s short, play longer) => switched by Play to (Live’s short, listen longer) ... & Radio 1’s (Lebanon Never Sounded better) => to (Amman never sounded better) .... or well ,, I figured that out being a Radio 1 listener even before Play starting in Amman.
So,back to the topic,being in irbid, on a friday night, at 8 PM, I heard this: “The 5th Element with DJ Shadya exclusively on Radio 1 Lebanon” .....!!!! WHAT!!!?
Yeah, Dj Shadya is on Radio 1 as well as Play! Thats on friday & This’s on Mondays,,,, on that she mentions she’s on Radio 1, & has a certain contest & prizes from local shops,, & On this she mentions she’s on Play, Jordan’s Nr 1 hit music Station & has a certain contest & prizes from Local shops (Generation)!!!!
Same style,same guy introducing her, same local rapper doin’ his thing... & same Dj Shadya on the same 5th element ;)
This explains to the Dj Shadya’s fans why the show turns into a Rap mix every now & then on Play.. because this is when she is on Radio 1...
I dont think the show gets live on neither stations, but shows are up to date & no redundant episodes are done... for example the show i heard that friday on Radio 1 wasnt the same on Play when the show got back after a coupla weeks of (Shadya on the mix) which is used when the show is on Radio 1 ..... Nice Formula of success ;)
For Real!
Now i dont really know if there’s another 5th element some where else... but since there’s no developed radio industry in the area but in Jordan & Lebanon ... & well, Dubai for sure ,,, but that’s kinda far from here ;)
Respect to the Lady in the industry .... Dj Shadya on the 5th element is the 1 to drop it like its HoT ;)
