A tweet from Elissa earlier today indicated that she was feeling better.

Elissa, a previous judge on The X Factor Arabia, has sold more than 30 million albums, and in 2005, 2006, and 2010 received the World Music Award for Best Selling Middle Eastern Artist. She is also the most popular Arab singer on Twitter, with a following of over 13 million.
