Very pompous, almost operatic. Actually better written than many entries in a similar style, but i don't think it will appeal to the masses. And his voice is very peculiar right at the end, it's like he turns into a completely different being when he goes too high :lol: :?

It's a shame they didn't got for Hebrew, I thought they actually might considering they are PQ and have a big history of sticking to their language. The opening seconds suggest a completely different style of song before it descends into an english language ballad.
Couldn't agree more, I'm so disappointed with how it turned out. The start sounded quite ethnic, singing in Hebrew would have been so cool.
Now it's just another ballad that goes over my head... 4 points.

This is just a standard piano ballad xshrug should have been in hebrew at least. Praise for Kobi for actually saving this, can't believe they wasted this voice on this song

I find totally inappropriate to put the poll on, before the good quality sound full entry is released..

I certainly won't vote before that..

It is smth...I love how original it is..vocals are so different and interesting..

It is BIG and at the same time nostalgic and melancholic..I love those small "jecaj" in the voice at parts..

Sonically it is the closest actually to "Rise like phoenix" which I hated..and that is also interesting fact for me.

Yeah i definitely love this one.. xup

I have to think a bit will I give it 12 in the poll, or maybe 8-10.. :)

Hitsrael left the chat. How can you win with such a bop and send such a boringfest as PQ? The only remotely interesting part is that 7 seconds start. 1 point, just because it's better than Montenegro i guess.

Kobi sings like a Georgian man dressed in drag doing Cher.

:lol: :lol: Loved this comment and so true... I wasn't a fan of him in their selection and not a fan now either and I truly dislike that Israel that were so firm in the past on at least sending entries partly in Hebrew (beautiful language btw) turned all Anglo lately, even on home-ground... it's just sad where Eurovision headed in the language department.
