Israel ISRAEL 2018 - Netta Barzilai - Toy

[Trece]

This... I think it will be seen as a joke by audience.

Isnt it a joke tho?...

 

[EscGeek]

to all disappointed people: idk what did you guys expect.... isn't just "quirky" good enough?:twisted: xchicken

Odds are 2/1 so I don't know

 

[John1]

Odds are 2/1 so I don't know

The odds are fast increasing...

Why does it even matter what the odds are? Good "joke act" can win ESC too. But of course it gets very weird if the song tries to send "a serious message" and at the same time sounds and looks like a joke.

Well, I don't really know what I was expecting to be honest. It's probably just the fact that "Toy" gets boring after having listened to it for a few times, the first listen was the best one and after that it's not as interesting as it was before... Having a hard time with this right now: I still give 12 points, but I don't really care if it fails in the semi or if it wins. Sounds weird The same also happened to Italy last year and to a lot of my favourites last and this year...

 

[Realest]

It doesnt feel like a winner

 

[Ana Raquel]

I'm waiting the TV snippets from later rehearsals to give a final judgment, but Israel would've benefit from a giant LED screen that this year's stage lacks of

The Chinese lucky cats need to go. They remind of yesterday, when I had a very early flight from Shanghai home and the gift shops at the airport were closed when the boarding began. I don't have gifts and souvenirs and I wanted one of those lucky cats 1

 

[musicfan]

I think so. The more Israel is going down, the more France is going up at the moment.

The battle of the overhyped, I woudn't mind if both flopped.

Based on the rehearsal footage, this neither looks nor sounds like a winner. It's a chicken dance with clucking in front of waving cats with colorful staging. Normally the fans acknowledge that an entry like this is a joke act instead of considering it a potential winner. The juries won't favor it and it doesn't look like the winner of the televote either. When was the last time the televoters favored a joke act?

Yodel It

 

[Chorizo]

Jedward and Yodel It! got good results but didn't even come close to winning.

 

[4815162342]

Yodel It had 224 points from televoters. If you consider how many points Portugal and Bulgaria sucked up last year, that is a strong number. Its even more than the 2011 winner had. It did not come close to winning the televote last year, but maybe it would have in another year like 2010 or 2011.

That wasn't a joke entry. The reason it was popular is that it was performed by a man.
