And just when you thought The 5 couldn't get any more popular, the Middle East's favorite boy band took it to the next level on the most recent episode of MBC's "The X Factor."
With an amazing performance of "Khalini Ma3ak" by Ramy Ayach, The 5 inspired both the audience and judges.
Lebanese judge Elissa, impressed with the improvement of the band throughout the show, expressed concern that the group would "allow fame to get into their heads." Egyptian judge Donia Samir Ghanem, who is The 5's mentor, echoed Elissa's concerns.
But no matter how big their heads might be getting, The 5 certainly rocked the stage with a performance that featured choreographed dance moves for the first time.
However, the group has its work cut out for it in the formidable opponent Hamza Hawsawi from Saudi Arabia, whose beautiful rendition of A Great Big World's "Say Something" had Elissa saying she expected to see Hawsawi on the final stage.
Although Hawsawi might be stunning the judges with his voice, he has yet to sing in Arabic, a fact that plays to The 5's strengths, as many of the band's songs are translated into Arabic or are originally Arabic songs. Ghanem asked Hawsawi to sing in Arabic during Saturday's episode and the Saudi singer was unable to, as he had not prepared any Arabic songs at all.
After the show, the members of The 5 expressed how sad they were to see the Egyptian group "Mounib Band" go as they were close with the other boy group. Seven groups remain after this episode, although The 5 remain the most popular contestants on social media.
Will The 5 reach its full potential and become the next big boy band or will its members let their popularity on social media affect how much effort they are putting into their performances?
