You said you’ll never be as brave as Eden but honestly what you’re doing here (and in other videos) is beyond brave. Thanks for speaking your truth and expressing complexity. We all hope for quiet days and for our loved ones to come back home 💛
In loving memory of all those murdered in the October 7th massacre. In loving memory for the Nova’s victims 😢 we will dance again 💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱🙏🏻🙏🏻 TY for the great reaction! ✌👍❤
@@SoniaAzam7 She sings from the dead. In the beginning, her soul rises from her body. The light circle is the portal to haven, and the dancers are the angels let her in. Now listen to the lyrics
The whole performance was a very subtle homage to the young people who were brutally massacred at the Nova festival and elsewhere that October. They had to go subtle because of all the kerfuffle with the song and title, but it’s there. The music video actually looks like people at a music festival. The translation of that into dance and stagecraft (yes, glad they took out the punching, coz those kids couldn’t fight back) is absolutely astounding. When you say „toilet paper dress,“ that reminds me of the Nova Festival exhibit where they recounted how 30 people were trying to hide from attackers in a single portable loo… Thank you @shmichal1 for the clarification of the shroud…
I will vote to her from Bulgaria on Saturday too. Enough with Politics. Its a masterpiece. We are here for the music. Its not a politician competition. Enough!
This song was written about the October 7 massacre at the Nova Music Festival in Israel. Everything in the song has a meaning - the pose at the beginning symbolizes a broken body. The dancers are the angels who came to dance and were murdered. The dress you said looked like toilet paper is like bloody bandages. The sunrise in the back at the end of the song symbolizes the time when the people were slaughtered, it happened at 6 am with the sunrise. Thank you Love and Peace from Israel
I’m crying reading this. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you can share this summary in other videos for everyone who wants to know the meaning behind the amazing choreography ❤
The dress is not a toilet paper as you said ! The dress resembles the torn of bandages and the pain of the Israeli citizens feeling after the massacre of 7th October . 🎗️💔 By the way,the dressers changed her last outfit, from a white shiny dress to a dress with tears, to symbolize the complex and difficult situation in which Israel is, there are still 132 abductees in Gaza whose condition is not really known! The youngest is a one-year-old baby and his brother four-year-old ,young boy and their parents. (in separate locations in Gaza Strip. Eden Golan is a Queen 🏆 She nailed it! In the front of all the bunch of hypocrites!
Pretty sure Belarus had the chance to enter but they doubled down on their DQ and took it by not submitting an apolitical version before the deadline while Israel submitted all of its revisions before so it was allowrd
Actually, in the beginning Kan was like "Yeah, this is our version and we aren't changing it" and the president was like "Yeah, your going to change it, Israel should be in Eurovision" so they did haha
Israeli did not attack like Russia! It was attacked!..every time, Palestine terrorist attack Israel they get their butt kicked and then they play a victim! ...should've learned a lesson the first time and not attack again! Israel has a right to defend itself and protect their citizens and rightfully deserve participation in this contest! And she is amazing! Israel, Ukraine and Ireland are my favorite so far! ..oh and Croatia was great too.
and them they only killed 30000 people , near 20000 kids, babies and women thats real defense. Really? this kids should have learned their lessons right? hope you dont need to defend yourself against babies. Do you are this baby terrorist are very dangerous to you? You maybe nuts.....
She was probably the only singer of the night (except Armenia perhaps) that sounded better live than in the recording. You can’t deny the talent there tbh
Actually I heard it many-many times and there were little slips in live performance... But honestly she is amazing singer. A head above all others at least in this semi final.
She’s so strong if I was her I wouldn’t have made it to the end of the song honestly. also such a sweet person she really doesn’t deserve it but at the same time I feel like she is the best representative israel could have ever brought in such year. Just a perfect choice
You ARE as brave as her. Great reminder that music is the worlds common language. You're so right...her voice in the live performance was as good if not better than the recording. STUNNING!! Thanks for posting
I'm so happy with this performance I'm glad you aren't boycotting her that's a problem I've had with the community this year, you don't have to support Isreal but this isn't her fault she shouldn't be boycotted cause of it
Now I'm not going to say anything public about my stance on the war except for wishing a more peaceful conflict resolution because I'll just be accused of being one thing or the other when I'm not, but from a strictly objective point of view I like their (rewritten) song and live performance and think will do very well in the finals if we don't take politics into consideration. I find the fact that earlier a media representative asked a 20-year-old something inappropriate for the occasion rather distasteful and disrespectful. Like, don't ask her, ask the EBU and the Israeli broadcaster! She could've been pressured to do things she doesn't want to for all we know!
Eurovision this year showed people true face. They say "Unite by music" but at the end they turned it to a political thing... What a shame. Eden is one of the bravest and talented singer in this fake competition. She stood tall and proud against all of those two faced bullies and showed them that they are nothing. I hope she'll win ❤
@@thornil2231 And you knowingly, are an idiot. They found 3 dead hostages today. Are you condemning Hamas for that? How about the constant rockets, missiles, and drone that are fired from all directions at Israel every day?
- I'm glad they got rid of the punches too, more fitting to the melody now. - love the cat in the back, so fluffyyyyyy - I thought the dress looks like bandages, fitting since she is singing about surviving a catastrophy. - Israel deserved to get multiple chances because the song is not really political. If France wanted to write a song about November 2015 Paris attacks, it wouldn't be political, it would be about a tragedy in the country's history. 9/11 is not political, the Manchester Arena bombing is not political, 2004 Madrid train bombings is not political and neither is Oct 7. There wasn't even a mention of war, fighting, enemies or anything like that. Ukraine did much more political songs and even won. There is a difference.
her live performance is incredible.... she is a brilliant singer. there are multiple lives of her in the Israeli competition for the eurovision spot, and omfg she is absolutely insane. definitely deserves her spot in the finals
The dress is symbolic to our turn nation after the horrific massacre on October 7💔 It also resembles the fabric that is used to bury the dead😢 The tree is the symbol of life. WE WILL DANCE AGAIN!!🇮🇱🇮🇱
Thanks for your vid. To Israelis & Jews, the group dance around the punching the air thing simulates the Nova party kids who were partying in nature when they were attacked, butchered, massacred, and kidnapped by Hamas. That's what the song is all about, that contrast. So the air punches and the sudden movements represent that violence. The orange-red light at the end, I'm pretty sure does not stand for hope but rather fire and sundown.
Thank you for making this video. A lucid voice in a sea of hatred towards an entire people instead of those in power who make these awful decisions. Regarding Belarus - the difference between Israel and Belarus's revisions is that Israel (after they agreed to revise at all) expressed willingness to enter with a non-political song, whereas Belarus did not make any attempt to do so at all.
The choreograph of this is Avihai Hacham, he also did last year's choreo and worked on 2019 interval acts as well. In general he's the one to choreograph all the biggest shows in Israel
Thank you very much for the support Eden is wonderful Despite the insults Many love and believe in her art Great song, great voice And her performance Good luck in the final And thanks again for the support❤🤍💙🤍💙💙❤
The movements of the dancers with blows in the direction of the heart symbolize the beating of the heart when the murdered hid from Hamas the barbarians in the rules of the dance symbolizes the dancers who were happy and danced at the festival and where they met their death. And thx alot for your comments ❤
0:58 The Israeli broadcaster sent the lyrics to the EBU ahead of time exactly for that reason, they wanted to submit a song that would be in accordance with the EBU standards. The EBU didn't outright disqualify it because it wasn't an actual submission to begin with, the just advised KAN to tweak the lyrics and only when they gave them the thumb up did KAN submit the song. I don't a country should be faulted for consulting in advance. Belarus on the other hand submitted a song that was eventually disqualified (not at first though, as it was uploaded to the Eurovision UA-cam account). and then they submitted a second song which was also disqualified. If they had sent the lyrics for consultation before submitting it, they could probably avoid being kicked out but I think it was more important to them to make the political statement then to participate in the contest. Also, I believe another reason for ousting them is that their broadcaster was deemed to be controlled by the government, and their EBU membership was revoked for that reason
Regarding Belarus, as per the contest's rules they were given a chance to rewrite and resubmit their song - within the deadline. They failed to meet the deadline and therefore were disqualified. Israel was given the chance as well and they did in fact meet the deadline. Simple as that.
About Belarus, they got disqualified not necause they falied to change the song after one attempt, but because they failed to change the song before the deadline for sumbitting came. If Israel would have missed the deadline before fixing the song they would have been disqualified as well
The dress you mocked and called toilet paper is so much more than you thing. Its actually designed to look like shrouds people are wrapped in when berried. I found it very meaningful, emotional and beautiful. Its another way of telling the very sad story of Oct 7.
so happy finding an influencer who actually gives their honest opinion on the song and performance leaving politics out. so many "eurovision channels" just act like israel isnt even in the competition because of their political views.
Top 5 yes - definitely!!! 🎯👑 💙🪬🤍 A sad song for the in memory 🕯 300 slaughtered people of the Nova Rave Music Festival - sunrise 07.10.23 and there are More 30 + dancers who were kidnapped from the music party and they still Kidnapped there. No information if alive or dead. 🌪🎗😞
Well, I think I understand why Israel got "multiple" chances to be part of the contest while Belarus did not. Belarus cooperated and is still supporting what Russia is doing concerning the war in Ukraine. It's not been officially said but I'm telling you; this is the reason. I'm sure you know that this contest is still political. By the way, many countries in the past had political messages (even stronger ones than the 1st version of this song) and still, they weren't asked to change the lyrics like Israel. Thank you for your reaction!
Thanks for a great review. I really agree with you about the fists in the air - it was so ugly, now it's much nicer and blends in with the song itself. As for Eden - she is wonderful. If she was from any other country, she would receive much more appreciation. The amount of hate we received this year was so great that to see someone able to express an opinion in a respectful way and without painting us as monsters is touching. I don't know if you meant it or not, but the order in which you expressed your opinion about the situation is the only correct order that will lead to the end of the war - the return of all the abductees will lead to a ceasefire. We all just want peace, and thank you for being able to see that. Much appreciated, Ayla from Israel.
I lost a friend at Nova and it's nothing compared to what WE, the trance rave community, have lost that day! Thank you soo much! I ugly cried for 5-10 minutes after her performance! Baby promise you'll hold me again! I'm still lost in this hurricane 🌈❤️💗 About the choreo, Israel has a VERY strong dance school called Gaga and it's championed by Bat Sheva dance troupe and Ohad Naharin, check them out! Thank you!!!
Dropping a quick note in appreciation of your intellectual honesty and refined taste in artstry ❤ Couldn't care less about the contest, the placements, and political controversies associated with it. No denial that this act is a feast to the eyes and the ears. Wow
Thank you for this wonderful review. Much love and appreciation from Israel 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱💙💙💙💙 Eden is definitely a queen and a professional performer! The choreographer is Avihai Hacham, he created the choreography for Eurovision in the past as well, along with his many other dance projects, and he is insanley talented!!!
@SHAWN Thank you for not listening to the vocal minority and standing up for what's right. Please keep staying awesome brother. Great review. Eden is beautiful with an incredible voice. The true meaning of this song is heartwrenching but well needed. Bravo all the way around. My people will NEVER go away
Hi, Belarus got multiple chances to re-submit a song, but after they submitted a political song for the 2nd time, the deadline for songs submitting has passed. Israel, on the other hand, were told by the EBU they if they manage to submit a non-political song by the deadline (I think March 15 or maybe 11), then they're in - and so did happen at the end.
I live in america so i dont get eurovision updates. I went into a spotify playlist and listen to all of them blind to their country. I like rock and metal so my favorites were Norway, Czechia, croatia, san marino and ireland. However, when it came to ballads and pop. Isreal and ukraine stood out to me among the others. Looking at it blindly without politics i think switzerland croatia Ukraine and isreal ended up around the place they deserve.
Hey Shawn, been following you for a while and happy to hear your complex view. Nonetheless, in all other videos re. Israel you continuously mention “irrespective to what I actually think of Israel” - which saddens as you contribute into politicizing ESC and taking a very simplistic stand. Good luck to Eden! 🇮🇱❤
I think it is stunning vocals. Regarding the other parameters the jury would not give this very high. It is not very creative song and melody wise, It has its moments on stage but it is not that strong of a stage show. But vocals is very strong. It is competing with Nemo, France, Ukraine and Italy in vocals. I would put Nemo highest but she is probably after that maybe in the same place like Ukraine. France is also very good but in another kind of way.
Thank you for this!! 💙 She is SO BRAVE!!! She has had non-stop hate trains & death threats from day one. The song is beautiful - the vocals are outstanding!!!! Congratulations to Eden for qualifying!!! Definitely in my top 5 this year!! 💙🤍🇮🇱
Eden Golan and her Dancers were amazing. Voted 3 times in the Finale for her. The bashing of Eden was cruel and unfair. Bambie Thug (Ireland) can bring her witch show to Iran. She should take care of course. The 2 State Solution was offered to the Arabic People from the VERY beginning. It was not Israel who rejected and dismissed this. Eden Golan was not even born when the problems started. In Countries like Iran a Music Show like this cannot happen as women are not even allowed to perform and sing on a stage.
Her vocals were amazing but, if she won I would want to know it was for the song and not political reasons. I feel most people voting for Israel decided they would before they even saw the preformance.
It's not fair to bully someone because their country is doing terrible things, it's NOT their fault! Booing and harassing Eden doesn't help the situation at all it is not her fault that Israel was allowed to compete in the first place. I hope people realize that. I do not support Israel or the decision of letting them compete. I just don't think it's fair to dump it on Eden, the song IS GOOD.
My problem with Israel's participation is not so much that they are participating, because it is supposed to be a non-political contest and that's what I love about Eurovision. My problem is that, seemingly, many of the people who support Israel do so BECAUSE of the politics and not because of the song or the performance itself, thus making it political. Look, I absolutely agree that her performance was solid and that she has some of the strongest vocals this year. However, objectively, there are many songs this year that are more interesting, have equally great vocals (and some have even better vocals) and that have way more winner potential than this song/performance does. I know that she is brave and it's inspiring to watch her display that strength and bravery, but her bravery has to do with politics, not art. The only thing that rubs me, and a lot of other people, the wrong way is that the people who support her for that reason pretend like it isn't political and at the same time defend Israel's right to participate on the basis that it is a non-political contest... Make it make sense... I'm not talking about the people who genuinely love this song and do not care about politics, because I know that there are some people like that out there. I guess my question to the Israel supporters out there is: Would you love this song as much as you do now if she was Palestinian, representing Palestine? If not, then it's clear that you have a POLITICAL bias and not an artistic one.
Eden Golan is INCREDIBLE!!! 💝💖💝💖 The toilet paper dress comment had me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Israeli TV had a segment with the designer so I get it, but I called it The Return of The Mummy Dress. But Eden is so STUNNING She could actually pull off a toilet paper dress. Her performance was ON POINT! The Staging is good, I have wants with it but it's fine. So, really quick the reason Belaruse and Russia were banned is because of their Broadcasters not their politics. Belaruse uses their Broadcasting Channels for State Propaganda just like Russia and that violates their agreement with The European Broadcasting Union. KAN and Israeli Broadcasters comply with all the stipulations of the EBU. Israel is a Liberal Democracy, who does not use their Broadcasters for State Propaganda. Actually many Israelis and Jews are critical of the current administration, but we all unite when we need to. Countries will always be at war as long as people focus on our differences, instead of focusing on what united us... Like music. 💖💝💖💝
You’re amazing! And you saying ceasefire now and release the hostages !together! Means the world. Thank you for standing for humanity, peace, and for hope. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ You honestly just got a fan ❤️❤️❤️
So great to see brave people who don't fall to cheap idiotic arguments. Was sp sad to see some youtubers not reacting to the song this year. Weak and scared of who? The comments? Come on. Have some integrity. So thank you for being different and brave. I am Israeli so I am not objective. But, we are not what people say we are and mostly people lie abothe situation and hold us to such a higher standard while lying and quoting Islamic government of Hamas about what's going in Gaza, and people don't visit Israel but think they have an idea when they don't. And you are right. We also were sitting yesterday waiting for some crazy person to run to the stage. And yes! The punches by the dancers were not great so changing it was good as well in our opinion. And how she performed, was amazing! She did it!
You said you’ll never be as brave as Eden but honestly what you’re doing here (and in other videos) is beyond brave. Thanks for speaking your truth and expressing complexity. We all hope for quiet days and for our loved ones to come back home 💛
Damn thanks 🙏🏻❤️
Couldn't agree more!
She literally did her rehearsals backstage when her dancers booing her just to get her ready, that is a real professional
😢
What kind of world are we living in that a young Jewish woman’s life is being threatened just for singing?? Eden is a HERO 💔💙
The world of antisemites and witches burners as usual. Ppl don't change
She's mine for sure
In loving memory of all those murdered in the October 7th massacre.
In loving memory for the Nova’s victims 😢 we will dance again 💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱🙏🏻🙏🏻
TY for the great reaction! ✌👍❤
Love from Romania, stay strong 😢🇷🇴❤️🇮🇱

It's not toilet paper, but reference to the white cloth we burying the dead in Israel (in Judaism).
I didn’t know that. Wow. That’s so moving 😢❤

tnx guy for your honesty ❤
I see a lot of pro-Israeli comments with handles like 'user-xxxxxxxx'. Bots?
The fact that you were worried about someone hurting her, that's a real human thing, love your videos! ♥️
This song was written about the October 7 massacre at the Nova Music Festival in Israel. Everything in the song has a meaning - the pose at the beginning symbolizes a broken body.

The sunrise in the back at the end of the song symbolizes the time when the people were slaughtered, it happened at 6 am with the sunrise. Thank you Love and Peace from Israel

It's a SONG contest and regards to that, I totally agree with you, thank you for simply focussing on her music, performance and talent.
Bullshit. It has always been political and Russia got banned. ISRAEL is 10 time worse than Russia.
It's not toilet paper . It symbolises shrouds which is what's used in Judaism to bury your dead.

There were many political songs in the past. Ukraine had a completely political song and it didn’t bother anyone in the past.
The choreograph of this is Avihai Hacham, he also did last year's choreo and worked on 2019 interval acts as well. In general he's the one to choreograph all the biggest shows in Israel
If there was no political problems, this would be top 10, no doubt.

Her dress is suppose to be bandages to reflect how Israel feels as a nation.
The movements of the dancers with blows in the direction of the heart symbolize the beating of the heart when the murdered hid from Hamas the barbarians in the rules of the dance symbolizes the dancers who were happy and danced at the festival and where they met their death.

Im crying after you said shes risking her life. Risking her life to spread love and compassion. 😭❤️

Btw the dress symbolises bandages because Israel was wounded by Oct 7th

Israel doesn't believe that. They are pure evil 😮
Love to Israel from the USA. She is the winner!!!
About Belarus, they got disqualified not necause they falied to change the song after one attempt, but because they failed to change the song before the deadline for sumbitting came. If Israel would have missed the deadline before fixing the song they would have been disqualified as well
She’s amazing 🥲
Thank you for your honest opinion!!
The dress you mocked and called toilet paper is so much more than you thing. Its actually designed to look like shrouds people are wrapped in when berried. I found it very meaningful, emotional and beautiful. Its another way of telling the very sad story of Oct 7.
Your "toilet paper" is actually representing shrouds, she was resurrected.
so happy finding an influencer who actually gives their honest opinion on the song and performance leaving politics out. so many "eurovision channels" just act like israel isnt even in the competition because of their political views.
Eurovision song contest is about music not politics. let’s keep it that way.
It has always been polical. Just admit you support facist.
Agree about the air punching in the choreography. It's much better now.
Toilet paper dress is intentional it’s not a year for israel to be too flashy with outfits.
Thank you for your reaction! Much love❤🇮🇱
Top 5 yes - definitely!!! 🎯👑
💙🪬🤍 A sad song for the in memory 🕯 300 slaughtered people of the Nova Rave Music Festival - sunrise 07.10.23 and there are More 30 + dancers who were kidnapped from the music party and they still Kidnapped there. No information if alive or dead. 🌪🎗😞
Just voted for Eden, brave and talented QUEEN!!
Well, I think I understand why Israel got "multiple" chances to be part of the contest while Belarus did not. Belarus cooperated and is still supporting what Russia is doing concerning the war in Ukraine. It's not been officially said but I'm telling you; this is the reason. I'm sure you know that this contest is still political. By the way, many countries in the past had political messages (even stronger ones than the 1st version of this song) and still, they weren't asked to change the lyrics like Israel. Thank you for your reaction!
Remember when they wraped him after they took him down from the cross.

עדן גולן נתנה ביצוע מדהים.בהצלחה!!❤❤❤❤❤תודה על התגובה הכנה שלך🤘🤘🤘👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for a great review. I really agree with you about the fists in the air - it was so ugly, now it's much nicer and blends in with the song itself. As for Eden - she is wonderful. If she was from any other country, she would receive much more appreciation. The amount of hate we received this year was so great that to see someone able to express an opinion in a respectful way and without painting us as monsters is touching. I don't know if you meant it or not, but the order in which you expressed your opinion about the situation is the only correct order that will lead to the end of the war - the return of all the abductees will lead to a ceasefire. We all just want peace, and thank you for being able to see that. Much appreciated, Ayla from Israel.
I lost a friend at Nova and it's nothing compared to what WE, the trance rave community, have lost that day! Thank you soo much! I ugly cried for 5-10 minutes after her performance! Baby promise you'll hold me again! I'm still lost in this hurricane 🌈❤️💗
About the choreo, Israel has a VERY strong dance school called Gaga and it's championed by Bat Sheva dance troupe and Ohad Naharin, check them out! Thank you!!!
top 3 this year
Dropping a quick note in appreciation of your intellectual honesty and refined taste in artstry ❤
Couldn't care less about the contest, the placements, and political controversies associated with it. No denial that this act is a feast to the eyes and the ears. Wow
Thank you for this wonderful review. Much love and appreciation from Israel 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱💙💙💙💙 Eden is definitely a queen and a professional performer! The choreographer is Avihai Hacham, he created the choreography for Eurovision in the past as well, along with his many other dance projects, and he is insanley talented!!!
@SHAWN Thank you for not listening to the vocal minority and standing up for what's right. Please keep staying awesome brother. Great review. Eden is beautiful with an incredible voice. The true meaning of this song is heartwrenching but well needed. Bravo all the way around. My people will NEVER go away
Hi, Belarus got multiple chances to re-submit a song, but after they submitted a political song for the 2nd time, the deadline for songs submitting has passed. Israel, on the other hand, were told by the EBU they if they manage to submit a non-political song by the deadline (I think March 15 or maybe 11), then they're in - and so did happen at the end.
Israel for the win! So proud of her 🤲🏻🎗🇮🇱
I live in america so i dont get eurovision updates. I went into a spotify playlist and listen to all of them blind to their country. I like rock and metal so my favorites were Norway, Czechia, croatia, san marino and ireland. However, when it came to ballads and pop. Isreal and ukraine stood out to me among the others. Looking at it blindly without politics i think switzerland croatia Ukraine and isreal ended up around the place they deserve.
Hey Shawn, been following you for a while and happy to hear your complex view.
Nonetheless, in all other videos re. Israel you continuously mention “irrespective to what I actually think of Israel” - which saddens as you contribute into politicizing ESC and taking a very simplistic stand. Good luck to Eden! 🇮🇱❤
You did a great job explaining and handling the situation about choosing to review her music!
I can't Imagine that anyone would hurt her.
The dress symbolizes traditional burial garments.
What? No, the dress is in the shape of a hurricane...
We love you Eden!!!! One of a kind!!! Incredible!!!!💙❤️🇮🇱💙❤️🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
40% Italy !
belarus had more then 1 chance.... the problem was belarus didnt sent a song before the deadline as israel did
I recommend watch the latest performance of the original version by Eden Golan that was shown a day ago.
I think it is stunning vocals. Regarding the other parameters the jury would not give this very high. It is not very creative song and melody wise, It has its moments on stage but it is not that strong of a stage show. But vocals is very strong. It is competing with Nemo, France, Ukraine and Italy in vocals. I would put Nemo highest but she is probably after that maybe in the same place like Ukraine. France is also very good but in another kind of way.
Thank you for this!! 💙 She is SO BRAVE!!! She has had non-stop hate trains & death threats from day one. The song is beautiful - the vocals are outstanding!!!! Congratulations to Eden for qualifying!!! Definitely in my top 5 this year!! 💙🤍🇮🇱
You are the most intelligent and bravest Eurovision reviewer right now!
Eden Golan and her Dancers were amazing. Voted 3 times in the Finale for her.
The bashing of Eden was cruel and unfair. Bambie Thug (Ireland) can bring her witch show to Iran. She should take care of course.
The 2 State Solution was offered to the Arabic People from the VERY beginning. It was not Israel who rejected and dismissed this. Eden Golan was not even born when the problems started.
In Countries like Iran a Music Show like this cannot happen as women are not even allowed to perform and sing on a stage.
She had the best vocal and performance tho
Her vocals were amazing but, if she won I would want to know it was for the song and not political reasons. I feel most people voting for Israel decided they would before they even saw the preformance.
She should have win!
It's not fair to bully someone because their country is doing terrible things, it's NOT their fault! Booing and harassing Eden doesn't help the situation at all it is not her fault that Israel was allowed to compete in the first place. I hope people realize that.
I do not support Israel or the decision of letting them compete. I just don't think it's fair to dump it on Eden, the song IS GOOD.
My problem with Israel's participation is not so much that they are participating, because it is supposed to be a non-political contest and that's what I love about Eurovision. My problem is that, seemingly, many of the people who support Israel do so BECAUSE of the politics and not because of the song or the performance itself, thus making it political. Look, I absolutely agree that her performance was solid and that she has some of the strongest vocals this year. However, objectively, there are many songs this year that are more interesting, have equally great vocals (and some have even better vocals) and that have way more winner potential than this song/performance does. I know that she is brave and it's inspiring to watch her display that strength and bravery, but her bravery has to do with politics, not art. The only thing that rubs me, and a lot of other people, the wrong way is that the people who support her for that reason pretend like it isn't political and at the same time defend Israel's right to participate on the basis that it is a non-political contest... Make it make sense... I'm not talking about the people who genuinely love this song and do not care about politics, because I know that there are some people like that out there. I guess my question to the Israel supporters out there is: Would you love this song as much as you do now if she was Palestinian, representing Palestine? If not, then it's clear that you have a POLITICAL bias and not an artistic one.
Eden Golan is INCREDIBLE!!! 💝💖💝💖 The toilet paper dress comment had me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Israeli TV had a segment with the designer so I get it, but I called it The Return of The Mummy Dress. But Eden is so STUNNING She could actually pull off a toilet paper dress. Her performance was ON POINT! The Staging is good, I have wants with it but it's fine. So, really quick the reason Belaruse and Russia were banned is because of their Broadcasters not their politics. Belaruse uses their Broadcasting Channels for State Propaganda just like Russia and that violates their agreement with The European Broadcasting Union. KAN and Israeli Broadcasters comply with all the stipulations of the EBU. Israel is a Liberal Democracy, who does not use their Broadcasters for State Propaganda. Actually many Israelis and Jews are critical of the current administration, but we all unite when we need to. Countries will always be at war as long as people focus on our differences, instead of focusing on what united us... Like music. 💖💝💖💝
You’re amazing! And you saying ceasefire now and release the hostages !together! Means the world. Thank you for standing for humanity, peace, and for hope.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
You honestly just got a fan ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for being honest!
So great to see brave people who don't fall to cheap idiotic arguments. Was sp sad to see some youtubers not reacting to the song this year. Weak and scared of who? The comments? Come on. Have some integrity.
So thank you for being different and brave.
I am Israeli so I am not objective. But, we are not what people say we are and mostly people lie abothe situation and hold us to such a higher standard while lying and quoting Islamic government of Hamas about what's going in Gaza, and people don't visit Israel but think they have an idea when they don't.
And you are right. We also were sitting yesterday waiting for some crazy person to run to the stage.
And yes! The punches by the dancers were not great so changing it was good as well in our opinion.
And how she performed, was amazing! She did it!
