Let's just say it's interesting...
Please leave your opinions in the comments so I can get some input from others!
You are boring. ..
What would a world full of funny people be like?
It's good that there are some boring folks to even it out, no?
Defenetly boring
He so cute tho
Absolutely Groot. And it's also good that there are people who leave terse comments on others' people channels, without doing anything of interest themselves... Imagine a world full of meaningful comments. That would be so tiresome!
Neville Sultana sooo freaking cute! 😀
2:15 she was. She came up with all this. She won the competition in which the winner is sent to the Eurovision and this is the exact reactions she used to get: You are from the future, she was told. You are uniq, you are a real artist. I guess that ppl would want to see the rest of her creations after the Eurovision.
Netta B is a great artist first . Has an amazing voice . The song is full good vibes and rhythm . It’s an original song . A creative song . And for all of those she criticize the chicken voices , well this not the real reason you don’t like the song .
Me personally not being a spring chicken , the song made me move dance and smile.
I cross my fingers for Netta B and wish her the best of luck .
Im from israel and like first time i heard it i was like wtf but now im adicted. Love your chanell

Robert Ambalu אם לא היה גזענות כן
The reason its so weird is because she is just really original herself, she made some crazy stuff in the tournament she participated as well
She uses a looper pedal btw
EXPLANATION TO THE SONG - INCLUDING THE HEBREW PARTS😊
There's no one official explanation to the meaning of the song. Its all about what we hear and understand of it and where do we take it.
The current dominating explanation is not about any boyfriend or one men in particular like some people implied, but rather :
HOW SOME MEN TREAT WOMEN, USING THEIR POWER AND HIRARCHY AND MONEY THINKING THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECTIFY WOMEN AND TREAT THEM LIKE AN OBJECT - A TOY, A DOLL ( IN HEBREW SHE SAIS "ANI LO BUBA- WHICH MEANS " I AM NOT A DOLL") AND NOT A SUBJECT- A HUMAN BEING WITH OPINIONS AND FEELINGS OF THEIR OWN AND EQUAL RIGHTS.
THE CHICKEN REFREANCES CAN BE INTERPRATATED AS TWO THING:
1.THE MEN'S COCKING BEHAVIOR, PROUD AND FULL OF HIMSELF, TGINKING HE CAN USE HER OR BUY HER AND SHE'S TOO NAIVE OR STUPID TO GET WHAT HE IS DOYING, BUT IN REALITY HE BECOMES THE CHICKEN- THE COWARD CUASE HE IS NOT READY TO DEAL WITH A WOMEN EQUAL TO HIM OR EVEN SMARTER IN EVERY WAY.
2. ITS A CULTURAL THING- "PAKA PAKA" (SOUNDS LIKE A CHICKEN) IS A SLANG IN HEBREW THAT MEANS - YOU ONLY SPEAK TOO MUCH BUT NO ACTIONS. EMPTY PROMISES.
SHE ALSO STATES IN THE MUSIC - I DON'T NEED YOUR "STEFA" BABY - MEANING - MONEY."I'M EQUAL TO YOU SO DON'T UNDERASTIMATE ME. YOUR MONEY IS NOT WHAT I NEED OR WANT. DONT TRY TO BUY ME- AGAIN, IM NOT YOUR TOY, YOUR OBJECT.
Well, of course it's sassy and a little rude, it's like a cool girlpower song- no different from Byonce, And other strong women in the industry that wants to show off a little bit, and be in your face.
LETS BE HONEST- ITS PART OF THE FUN IN R&B AND RAP CULTURE! THE ATTITUDE!
AND IT MAKES VERY YOUNG WOMEN TO LAUGH AND DANCE BUT ALSO THINK. AND FEEL STRONGER.
YOU GO GIRLS!!!!❤🌷😚😍
Thx you from Israel 😊 נטע ברזילאי תותחית
finally someone understand that this is creativity and not confuse fun with cheap...well done dude(:
Thank you!! :)
shee's probably the best thing that happened to music lately. she is going faaar with or without the eurovision
Netta must sing 'Toy' at the 'Israel Calling' event in April - live on stage
facebook.com/IsraelCalling/
*#Netta already confirmed attending, already rehearsing
This is what we (the Israeli people - I am from Israel) thought in the first time we heard this song - We thought it's wired but creative too. That's a song that you need to get used to it :) Thanks for your review! 🇮🇱
I was waiting for this
Edit: The song is so much fun also i checked her out live she is amazing. She is her own DJ and makes her own music im pretty sure.
DEPStrider Gaming The song was arranged by someone else, I don’t know if she can make digital music in a high level 🤷🏻♀️
It's so much fun, indeed!
I'm still trying to take it all in hahah :)
Hello I am Israeli and thanks your review
יוסף חיים אלוש היושש
As someone who saw Neta preforming live a few times already, the live would look way way way better than the video clip.
My promise😉
Ok so the people who came up with all this called Doron Medley and Stav Berger. They are super creative and they wrote this song especially for Netta, which known for her uniqueness. And abot the weirdness you talked about ... When you see Netta for a while in the "next star to the Eurovision", you realize that weird is special. I realy think we are gonna win this year... all israel addicted to "toy"
My opinion: we do have Esc and Jesc. This must be ESC KIDS!
Those chicken noise: I think my second cousin's daughter who turns 2 in May would had loved this last year..... but now she is turning 2 years old.... And might be a bit too big for songs like this!
The lyric line: You stupid boy. Could had been for 4-5 year old girls.
No, I'm not in a bad mood! Not at all! I don't have a bad day either. It's just my opinion.
On the other hand: this year is a bit for everyone. So why not having a song like this?
I'm from Israel. This Song is one of the best songs ever and she is so good. Your opinion is your, mine is mine, I just wish that you like that .😊
First of all, I do agree with the fact that it leaves one confused upon the first time listening. For me, this is a favorite. She is very capable vocally live and is her own dj on stage, so this is her style entirely and I believe that she can carry it out confidently because of that. Now the staging and the overall performance is what will make it or break it for me; there is a very thin line between what will be too static or all over the place for the song. So yeah, TLDR; I like it, it's an earworm that I thoroughly enjoy, but I can definitely see where everybody who dislikes it is coming from. For me it all comes together nicely (even the chicken sounds, yes, I'm unsure as to why) but it's not a song that will leave the same impression on everybody (heck, on most people). Really loving the reaction videos, and I cannot wait to see your complete top! :-)
The fact that she has such a distinctive style to herself is a massive perk! It makes her stick out so greatly from the rest!
The studio version will certainly be played a great deal for me, but as you say, the song is treading on a thin wire between incredible and terrible when it comes to a live performance!
Thank you so much for the lovely words, it'll take time to finish up a top of this interesting year for sure hahah! :)
She is the winner of the Eurovision!!👏🏻
She is amazing!, is really something different, creative, original,.. But coming from Israel doesnt surprise me they got 181 nobel prize and thousands of inventions.
About creation, i dont want to blow your suprise but Netta is making like a new genere with a looper, thats her "thing"
So look forword to it on the stage.
Personally I love this entry. It's very vatchy,upbeat. Has a good message for a upbeat song which isn't popular. She is amazing live so I can't wait to watch her perform this song!
Oh, the amount of energy in this song is simply spectacular! And as you say, combining an upbeat song with this message, ah it's just really cool!
this is how the music in Israel sounds like (i'm from Israel) in some parts she is talking in Hebrew
Good breakdown, nice insights. Cheers from Israel.
People say that Eurovision is `behind the times` - they won't be saying that when this masterpiece wins!
Who said that? And more importantly, these people should definitely look into what kind of entries that compete every year! :)
LOL! You mean that's he ONLY contemporary song? Are u sleeping under a rock? Hahaha...
No there are many contemporary songs this year - it's fantastic! However, there's a view that this isn't one. What did I say that said that. I'm just saying that Netta is spearheading this arrowhead of modernity.
Well, it's definitely not contemporary but it is MADE to sound like it is. ;) These are 2 different things tho. The whole melodic line is dated, especially the chorus that sounds like Balkan turbofolk from the early 2000s. The verses are melodic rap, very staccatto, remind me of Eminem's delivery a little bit. The only original thing is the harmonies in the beginning of the song - they help it stand out. The clucking is funny and flavourful but not vocally demanding. Basically any well-prepared vocalist can perform this song. My conclusion is that the song sounds like recycled ethnopop from early 2000s apart from the clucking and the harmonies in the first few seconds, which are the most interesting part of the whole composition. Her team of producers likely wanted to make something very commercial, sellable and catchy with a "message", but they compromised true quality, i.e. the melodic and lyrical content of the song. The lyrics in particular a very weak, completely lack sophistication and maturity - a very primitive attempt at sarcasm I suppose. Again I will compare them to Eminem's sarcastic approach which is brilliant and nothing like this crap. Thank God at least the arrangement is flavourful at times (excluding the chorus) because at least it compensates for the lack of genuine creativity. To sum up, the entry is a questionable attempt at sarcastic songwriting. Such attempts rarely work well. it doesn't mean that the audience won't like it, but it shows the viewers' intellectual capacity. ;)
I suppose that's why you get all these people of all ages that are very casual viewers of Eurovision think it's modern?
Israel!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
💖💖💖💖
It's my 1st I just love it. But I can understand if people don't like it. At the end is it a love it or hate it song.

Here’s a reddit comment of mine about it, I’m concerned that unless they notice how people miss the interpretation of the song and make it clear by the visuals in the show, this will not be able to win the votes, it will come off as no more than a creative party song. Here’s my interpretation which I wrote on reddit: “I feel like it’s too complicated for me too. I really liked that I got this 30 seconds tease cause it was right in the most meaningful spot of the song and it was so short that I replayed it and thought about it, and it made me get it. I’m not sure I’d have got it if I immediately saw the full version. The chickens are because the woman chickens out in front of the man when she needs to express her feminism up front. Like, a second before that when she’s alone she can comfortably say that she is divine and he’s about to regret, and then she tries to say “I’m not your toy” but all we hear is a bunch of confusing clucking. Like displaying that this is also what it comes off as when you say I’m not your toy so cowardly, you have to shout it like she does in the chorus. Isn’t that brilliant?”
A reply to this was of somebody who went to check the lyrics and he said it’s true in the middle of the clucking there’s “buckmhmbuck I’m not your-buckbuckmhmbuck...”. I don’t have any doubt that this is really what they meant by this, but it seems like everybody misses it, so I really hope they can support the message delivery by visuals. For example when she starts clucking they could make prison tiles out of the flashlights, turn them off for that line where she goes I’m not your- and then back on when she starts clucking again, and arrange them nicely for the chorus when she shouts I’m not your toy. I think only by lights they could manage to express the symbolism in the slow part where she’s by herself and there’s harmony, the cage she can’t break through when she starts to chicken, and the message that it’s only gonna become good once you get some balls and shout what you need to shout.
I think I really need to start paying attention to the messages songs try to convey. I'm mostly in it for a musical analysis so thank you for going over this! I'll take all of these thoughts into consideration when I re-listen to it! :)
Groot Welcome! I love to analyze my music too but tbh in the Eurovision I don’t focus on that cause most of the music doesn’t seem too worthy, haha
Wow I thought it may have something to do with fear but didn't think about that
I really hope people will hear it and fully understand it
Roy Moreno I really hope they could manage to support the message in the show too, I think rn the success relies on that a lot, without that too many people will just think it’s a joke, and it won’t be as powerful as it is. Just saying that women are not a man’s toy isn’t that much of a special message.
Eyal Oged Are you from Israel? (I am, just so we know and won't speak awkwardly in English here xD)
She has lots of interviews to go through so maybe she'll explain it there
tough very hard competition this year, a lot of good songs. I loved Czechs very much and Germany. But I think , this year is the year of Israel! wow
She is using a device called "looper" for some of the sounds ( she records the sounds live and use later in the preformence to help with effects)
As an Israeli at the beginning i was like "wtf is this shit? I don't want my country to be known as a chicken country"
but this song is so catchy i made myself watch it 5-10 times and it's not that bad...
Absolutely fantastic, my winner!
I don't want to be toxic, I just saw this video and remembered how shameless was Israel victory in 2018. That was a fixed contest. There's sense that this finished 1st in televote, but not that this finished 3rd in jury vote and 1st in SF. At the same time, there's too much coincidence that Israel won in 1978 (+1979), 1998 & 2018, in the 30th, 50th & 70th anniversary of the Israel state. I love ESC but sometimes is a crappy politic weapon. Love ur vids Groot, nothing against you or the israel population!
You asked in the video who is making this idea. Im from israel so i know who is netta and i gotta tell you that all this comes from netta. They wrote her a song and she did an interesting cover for this with a looper (music tool). She is very creative!!
Search her on youtube
Ok, something that people need to understand about the eurovision is its all about creativity and weird and all you get today are those really boring songs that start to repeat themselves and it starts to get boring thats why the weird beat and sounds.
I think its a good song with a good chance to win thats all...
I'm not sure if I'd claim that Eurovision is all about being weird and creative... but making something that sticks out is always appreciated if its being pulled off greatly (unlike many others who tried to stick out). As long as they pull this off nicely live I have a great feeling for it, but there are still two months left until then! :)
we will see then xD
I agree, Groot! It's about the balance between quality and creativity. This dominates in creativity and not so much in quality. Imagine it were preformed by an artist like Jessi J, who possesses so much star quality... It would be an unattainable and predictable winner. In the last couple of years tho ESC doesn't work this way. Simply by comparing the betting odds I can say that sadly Israel is not winning. Not to menton this song can't compare to Italy 2017 which skyrocketed 3 months before the contest and achieved the abysmal 7th place... So, it's not about creativity only. People are tired of stupid shit and parodies on TV. I'm sure it will get a lot of votes but they'll be mainly from the online audience. I predict top 3-5th place in public vote and 15-20th place in juries.
תודה שאתה מגיב בצורה טובה כל כך
Means in hebrew: thx for reacting
❤️ from Israel
Ittai Nativ מה הוא אמר בסרטון?
Thank you very much!love from israel❤
Amazing how we, Israelis, Unite when needed, getting into most litantic channels to support our representative. We r Israel!!!!
Go Netta!!!!
weird? amazing! creative! never heard something like this! totally new sound!
you can see her performing live in the show "hackokav haba" (the next star) that led up to the eurovision
I had never heard of her before until this song was published. And immediately I fell in love with her and I watched lots of her performances, she participated in an Israel music competition and won there. I think the song is so funny and catchy and also has a good message that is said in a funny way. She has a HUGE charisma.
I recommend you to watch some of here live performances, for example this one:

Thank you from Israel
Today I was walking to the supermarket and I saw some ducks!
The near unanimous view of Netta Barzilai's song entry is that it is very creative and there is so much going on in it that one has to think very hard whether to support it or not. The entry sparks real interest and intense discussion and is something new for Eurovision. The song will be polarising for sure.The sassy talented Netta though is going to make her mark at Eurovision and will add colour to the song contest which is a good result for her in and of itself whichever way the song goes in terms of the results. It is not possible to rule out at this stage whether the song will progress to the Final but given the guilty pleasure the song gives listeners perhaps it just ought to do so.
It's the number one song people are waiting to see performed live. It's gonna conquer.
i love this song
In this song there are a few words in Hebrew
i love it idk why it´s just so catchy and i hope we get that kind of winner again
The synth sounds and general beats are borrowed from an underground UK style called funky house
Israelis came up with all of this !!!
new ideas !
tired from old style....
Neta is great
I love imitation of a chicken and a chorus. It is a very unique song. It should be a winner; my daughter and I like it the most. Go, Netta!
Next year 2019 We will meet in Tel Aviv israel 🏆🥇🎤
Simply understand the tremendous desire of this people that dwells in Zion to fix the way to love
I heard the songs that were released. The song from Israel is the most amazing song. He deserved to be first place
great performer
love your comment. very professional and honest. love from ISRAEL
She done live show for other songs so you can get the idea in general her live are very good ... so don’t worry about it

סליחה😂👐
She is brilliant!
people with basic, easy lives have not been bullied, closed in their room for years. That's the difference with the other kind of people, who did.
Love this so much. Love from USA. Can't wait to see her live.
THANK YOU :)
ישראל תנצח ונטע לא מוזרה זה שיר מושלם!!!! והיא תגיע למקום ראשון בקללל!!!!!
The best song ❤️❤️❤️
Love it, good luck
song is good
I am disappointed that you dislike key changes. I really like them on uptempo songs and power ballads.
she is the best singer ever!!! i just love here
Andrea Zieder Also what i fell is: when you listen a music your first reaction should be if you like, if this song make you fill god or bad, if make your ears, eyes and mind fill good. it is a automatic reaction.... if you like you like. but if you need to digested the song, or try to cope first than you a are forcing yourself to like.... then i think you really don't like the song you are just try to give a justification to love, to like to convince yourself you clever, modern and superb to accept it. For me that what happen... i fell mentally abused by her looks, by everything... and that i don't considered music.
מקווים לזכות השנה..!^~^ well,we all hope that people will appreciate it!
Love from Israel!!!
I really appreciate that you did on this video clip

It is original Brave and catchy Song. Smart and fun. Just enjoy it! Netta is a great Wonder and performer.
Thanks from israel❤❤
The song is not shallow as you might think, it relates a lot with the #MeToo campaign.
It is about how women are objectified by some people in the industry.
The chicken voice is about the men that "use" the women - as chikcen = coward.
"I'm not your toy, stupid boy"
"Ani lo boba" : "I'm not a doll"
Behind every joke, there is truth.
The song is deeper than you might think.
That just makes it even more shallow :P .
TheOrneryNerd בלה בלה בלה
A lot of people are sick and tired about #metoo. And they should not put this on a music contest. let us concentrate on making music and celebrate life, instead of whining about everything.
mark nvt And many people aren’t tired of this campaign.
This is what the Eurovision is all about: Diversity, hearing different opinions and views in the form of songs and exploring.
That’s the opposite of what you’re saying
I am groot and this song is good
we are gonnnaaaa winnnnnn!!!🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

Only the Israelis thinking about that cus we are crazy like that song xD
When are you going to reveal your top 10? Whay have you stop reaction?
Catchy chorus and indeed creative! However, those chicken noises is what turns me off the song. I get the meaning behind it, but I just don't like how it sounds. It's so cringy! As a result I really don't want this entry to win.
even it looks that this song is very "weird" and doesn't have any real message to deliver, let me correct you:
this song have a VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE that it deliver:
this song is continue the #MeToo campaign , it talks about strong women, men can't to what they wont "wonder women dont you ever forget"..
in addition of all, this song releases in international women day , exactly because the reason i just wrote above.
hope that now you're see this song in other color.
very objective reaction from you, i watch a lot other ESC youtube reactions and mostly are to much subjective. Now for these song we really don't know how sound in live and this where i saw 2 potential problem. First if she going to be allowed to use looper(or how you call this ) then i dont know if she would have time to build this song (3 minute song rule), i watch some of Netta live performances and its a lot time to build song, because she song word then record, then song other word and record etc,etc, .Second , if ESC are strict in rule that every vocal need to sing live, so if Netta don't get permission to sing with looper , so how she will going to create acapella with 4-5 different voices what she create in these music video who are recorded in studio(its look to me that only Netta singing and other are only dancers)? Its will be interesting to compare live and music video and then to give reaction.(my language not english sorry if i make some mistakes)
Thank you so much! :)
Israel gonna win! yessss
I agree with your opinion,Semi Final 1 has many strong entires (Albania, Estonia, Armenia, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Greece, Belarus, Croatia, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, F.Y.R Macedonia, Ireland, Iceland, Lithuania, Finland and Israel.) If Azerbaijen is not on this, there is a very good reason why. (I hate It) Too Much Greece 2017 Vibes
Noah Leeson I don't understand. Do you like the song or not?
nill preiss I don't like the Azerbaijen Song, But I like all the other songs in the 1st semi Final, But with Israel I have quite a low opinion on it.
Russell Crowe, is that you?
