MOR VE OTESİ (TURKEY) - DELİ
GO TURKEY.....
shalom Israel..u rock!!!!!!!!!!
new version at:
agrino . org / esc
i hope, that israel or portugal will do it tonight..i will vote for both songs (one with my mobile and the other one with the mobile of my husband..
)
Tonight everybody are sending SMS with the number 07!!!!!!!
Thanx all! I think the back singers are great especially in the end of the song and when they "dance" it's so beautiful and powerful. it's just great ballad that show the real Israel and i'm really proud of it, and of course that withno gimmicks and withno english Israel did it and made it to the final. Boaz is great singer and great person! hope for him the best, he and his family like the ESC so much, so hope he'll brings good place.
and, don't forget! VOTE 7 FOR ISRAEL TODAY!
BEST OF LUCK TO ISRAEL!
Fantastic song and performance.
I usually love the songs from israel.
Where do we have to send the answers?
The youtube video of the performance from Boaz on Tuesday is by far the most viewed video of any of the 38 songs in the semi-finals with over 150,000 views to date. This is more than 4 times the next most popular video.
Oh my favourite song this year!!!!!!!! Good luck Israel !!!!!! good luck Boaz !!!!!! you have a amazing voice!!!!!!!! All my support from Spain!!!!!!
MY NUMBER ONE, this year!
The dark-horse! His song so good!!!
Top 10 or 5 for me!!
Boaz is a great singer and sooo beautiful!!!
But he has to wear other clothes in the final. The combination disn't come across that well.
I disagree, I quite liked the Israeli all-male team, discreet in their dark outfits. It was such a confident performance overall, Boaz delivered the tune far better than on the national final. And it's a strong song too. He should be inside the top ten on Saturday.
Good song, good performance, just get rid of the act of the backing singers. Good luck Boaz, hope Israel will do well!
I agree with Paul about the backing singers. Boaz has a great song and performed well last night, but what were these guys doing in the background. Keep it simple, as that is what the song deserves. Good luck Israel, hope you'll do well on Saturday!
Israel win this year
garry! Israel reached the final in 2005 and 2006. only last year and in 2004 no!
amazing voice.....great singer......just pls get rid of those clowns in the backround.......BOAZ ON HIS OWN on stage can win this whole thing without any need for anyone else . actually all alone on stage would look so much better !!!!!!!
I think Sebastian was joking...
no the answer to b isnt the same isreal hasnt reached the final for the last few years
Sebastian Saether, no!
i just LOVE this song!!!!!! Good luck from Greece......:-)
isn't the answer on question b and c the same?
