I am no fan of the song. And even less so after the rehearsal. Yes, I admit Hovi has a good voice. But that is about it for me.... From the short clip I've seen I am not convinced of his stage-presence and capacity to reach through the screen...
But I might be wrong... and maybe Israel will reach the final after all...

I'm not convinced either. Something is missing. Maybe they will change the costume at the second rehearsal.

Since he won the press poll, all the odds has been shortened.

One of the best rehearsals yesterday imo and he seems to be a likeable person according to the videos. But I am still not a fan of the song.

So many beautiful songs and vocalists this year and this is one of them, the staging looks so good. It bugs me that the favourite to win (Russia) is the complete opposite to beautiful and is instead shallow in feeling.

For some reason I see this as the winner of ESC 2016... xthink

You know, I can too xthink It just has some kind of magic to it, especially live on the stage xshrug

He totally gained my respect because he agrees with me in finding Douche Bob from Holland annoying :)

Hahaha....Hovi has a bad attitude, a bad diva attitude, if he really was a nice guy he would have more participant friends-:)

You clearly didn't keep up then. If you had actually done it, you would've noticed that he has become friend with Ira, Poli, Sanja and some others.

I agree with you. Hovi gives me that bad "queen" vibes that is very off-putting. I don't like him from the NF when he made a huge scandal because he wanted Nofar's song "Made of stars". He basically said that he will leave if they don't give it to him and they had no other choice than to do so (at least that's what I read in the Bulgarian ESC forum). When he came to Sweden, he started bragging how much money he paid for his costume which is extremely off-putting for me. There is something about him that's extremely unlikable for me as a viewer.

So this is what Douwe said about Hovi in his documentary:

“You pick people out who have had media training…. If a photo is being taken, you jump forward. Israel [did that] every time, he is the most flamboyant sort of extravagent fella. He jumps forward the whole time. At a given moment, I said, “dude, I love you mate, but please, energy, energy levels, take it down!” He took it the wrong way, you know. He said, “You may be a star in Holland, but you will never be a star anywhere else! Don’t talk to me, don’t look at me!” He went completely crazy. I said, “oh man, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings!” That only makes things worse is you say that to someone. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

The interviewer then asks Douwe if there’s going to be a “fitty” between the Netherlands and Israel (a fight), which Douwe denies and adds “the first thing that I will do when I see him is try to give him a cuddle."”


So yesterday Hovi said to a Dutch journalist that he hates Douwe and his song and wants to kick his fucking ass. :? It's clearly a big misunderstanding.
