Re: ISRAEL 2018

That Netta Barzilai really is a unique talent for a Eurovision selection but would the EBU let her do her thing? :?

Re: ISRAEL 2018

I loved Axum from the last episode, even though they lost. I very much hope that the judges will decide to return them. And for me? In my personal opinion? I put them in the last group. Together with Chen Aharoni, Yonatan Margi and Neta Barzilai. This trio is on several levels above everyone else. That's my opinion, of course.

Re: ISRAEL 2018

Regarding Chen Aharoni, I sincerely hope that maybe later in the competition to hear his original song, he has a lot of goodies. His performance is good and unspeakable, great. I would like him to take something of his and make him a competitive version, he has something that no other singers in the competition. Experience and original songs that worked in Israel. I understand the fear that he will be expected to perform a song of his own, twice as much as before. Maybe in the final, but I think it's time to give his familiar or unfamiliar song, but a song that is his own.

Re: ISRAEL 2018

Anyone from Israel here who actually knows the format of the next rounds? Not sure if they're just making it up as they go along but I can't find anything...

It's gonna be duels again. Tonight & the second half tomorrow.

3 pairs perform first. Thus we have 3 qualifiers.
And then each pair's loser gets into the last 3-way duel.

Re: ISRAEL 2018

Tonight's qualifiers are:

Howie Danao
José Steinberg
Ravit Batashvili
The Yamanz
Riki Ben Ari


Rinat Bar was eliminated. Like things haven't been any messier enough with Israeli selection she refused from being judged by Harel xqueenbitch and lost her place in the next round because of 1% difference xfacepalm Riki qualified without performing, lol.

Re: ISRAEL 2018

Not really following this messy selection, but I know Rinat from before and I feel sorry she left, seems like she couldn't take the heat but I honestly think she'd been a good choice for Israel but if they are going to stick with this annoying format then they will not find the best package imo. I loath "talent shows" so much, that's not how an entry should be chosen, it's so un-organic and artificial yuck.

I'd say Rinat should be chosen internally next year with an ethno ballad or ethno-pop booty shaker, I think she could do it just fine, this format however wasn't for her.

Re: ISRAEL 2018

Can someone PLEASE explain to me, why people are freaking out about Netta Barzilai?
She basically screams / talks and records herself while doing it. Is this even following the EBU rules (all of the song has to be sung live?) Can she even sing??
i find her utterly annoying!

Re: ISRAEL 2018

As much as I dislike Chen imho he performed better than Jonathan tonight but both kinda sucked.
ps. I'd prefer Jonathan over that pedobait from France any time.
