"THE QUEN" Dana International - Love Boy

From Wiki: Sharon Cohen (Hebrew: שרון כהן‬ on 2 February 1972), professionally known as Dana International (דנה אינטרנשיונל‬), The Queen of Israel, or The Queen of Mr. Amir is an Israeli pop singer. She has released eight albums and three additional compilation albums. She is best known as the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1998 in Birmingham with the song "Diva" and winner of the hearts of the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf with the song "Ding Dong".

Sharon was born in Tel Aviv as Yaron Cohen to a family of Yemenite-Jewish and Romanian-Jewish descent. In an interview, she said her grandfather originated from Romania. Her paternal grandparents lived in Petah Tikva. She was the youngest of three children, and was named after an uncle who had been killed during a terrorist attack.

Though assigned male at birth, she identified as female from a very young age. She wanted to become a singer from the age of eight, when she watched Israeli singer Ofra Haza perform her song "Chai" in the 1983 Eurovision Song Contest. Although the family was quite poor, her mother worked to pay for her music lessons, and she stated that her childhood was happy. She came out as transgender at the age of 13.

Dana International took her stage name from a feminized version of a childhood friend Daniel, who died in a car accident.

Bow to the Queen. Shalom Shalom!


Now she is ready to conquer Worldvision:

LYRICS:

קוביות בצבע שוקו,
אומר צרפת אבל הוא די מרוקו,
כל היום בחדר כושר
אז לא צריך לבדוק לו את היושר...

הוא לא משתמש במילים
הוא מדבר עם הידיים
שורף עם העיניים,
כשהוא אומר מתחילים
הלב שלי רוקד במעגלים

והוא ישן במיטתי
והוא אוכל מצלחתי
יש לי טריק קבוע
פעמיים בשבוע
יש לי לאב בוי

הוא לא רגיש ולא רומנטי,
לא משנה אם הוא בעד או אנטי,
הוא לא צריך הרבה לדעת
הוא ד"ר של כבוד באיך לגעת

אני לא צריכה להרשים
או להיות משעשעת
כי אני יודעת,
כשהוא יגיד מתחילים
הלב שלי יירקוד במעגלים

והוא ישן במיטתי...​

-------------------------------------------------
Kubiot b'tzeva shoko,
Omer Tzarfat aval hu dai Moroko
Kol hayom b'cheder kosher
Az lo tzarich livdok lo et hayosher

Hu lo mishtamesh b'milim,
Hu medaber im ha'yadayim
Soref im ha'einayim
K'shehu omer m'tchilim
Halev sheli roked b'magalim


V'hu yoshen b'metati
V'hu ochel me'tzalachti
Yesh li trick kavua
Pa'amayim bashavua
Yesh li love boy

Hu lo ragish v'lo romanti
Lo meshaneh im hu b'ad o anti
Hu lo tzarich harbeh l'da'at

V'hu yoshen b'metati

Yesh li love boy


(translation: )

Six-pack in a chocolate color
he says France but more likely Morocco
All day in the gym
then it's not necessary to check his honesty

he's not proficient in words
he speaks with his hands
he's burning with his eyes
when he says, "let's go"
my heart dances in circles

and he sleeps in my bed
and he eats from my plate
I have a permanent trick
twice a week
I have a love boy

he's not sensitive and not romantic
it doesn't make a difference if he's in favor or against
he doesn't need to know a lot
he's a doctor of honor in how to touch
I don't need to impress
or be entertaining
because I know
when he will tell me, "let's go"
my heart will dance in circles

Now it is up to you, whether she will

or

Seriously, making the final with my Queen would feel like a victory for me, please make it happen!! ​

yours sincerely,
Amir​

Re: *~Israel ישראל~* WV100 Dana International - Love Boy

Yesss, you actually did it! The Queen of Mr. Amir touches down at WorldVision. THIS is how to celebrate a special anniversary edition. You've got guts for doing this, as I know it's not easy, especially when you really care about what happens to your icon. I wish I was in your semi, but eh, you seemed happy with your draw anyway so come on Dana!!!xcrossedxcrossed

I'm gonna spam some Dana hits this week in celebration of her presence here at WorldVision

Also I had no idea she was part Romanian. That makes her even more iconic.

 

[Amir]

Re: *~Israel ישראל~* WV100 Dana International - Love Boy

ofc it breaks my heart but that's the risk of the game. I'm proud to have had the courage to send my Queen at least.
She will return, when the time is right.

I have a few potential songs for WV101 that will hopefully break my unlucky streak with

Next time you send her it will probably be much easier. I found myself not caring at all this edition when Kurt flopped (though of course I would have still loved for him to have made it). You had huge guts to finally send Queen Dana. You should feel proud she's now a part of your WorldVision history. I wish more people had gone for something iconic this edition.

Anyway.... *continues to spam Love Boy on Spotify*

I also thought about hosting a big Dana NF

Oh those voting mistakes are delicious I remember when I got such a PQ after my Yoko Ono accident. A PQ for what otherwise would have been an instaflopping Ariel Pink song was worth suffering the scandal.

Dana NF sounds delicious. Several rounds and a large grand final please when you do it.

thank you very much for all the votes, this is my best result with in a long time

See you next edition in Iceland

Re: *~Israel ישראל~* WV105 ???

Your song completely passed me by in the semis. I really wasn't feeling semi 1 much at all. Everything there kind of blended together (so many songs with a similar vibe) but when I heard your song in the final it suddenly jumped out at me. It has this punch to it that a lot of the other folksy, I guess you could say indie stuff didn't have this edition. Really lovely stuff. I enjoyed it's vibe.
