Israelin gewinnt den Eurovision Song Contest Genau 20 Jahre nach dem Sieg von Dana Internati­onal bei dem europäischen Song Contest schaffte es erneut eine Israelin auf den ersten Platz. Netta Barzilai hat ihren ganz eigenen, ungewöhnlichen Stil. Die 25-jährige Siegerin des Eurovision Song Contest 2018 feiert ihren kräftigen Körper, obwohl er nicht dem vorherrschenden Idealbild entspricht."Du musst nicht dem Standardbild davon entsprechen, wie jemand aussehen, denken, reden und kreativ sein muss, um Erfolg zu haben", lautet ihre Bot­schaft. In Tel Aviv und Jerusalem fanden noch in der Nacht der Ausscheidung spontane ausgelassene Parties statt. Barzilai zeigte sich überwältigt von ihrem Sieg."Es ist Wahnsinn, was hier passiert ist." Sie werde es wahrscheinlich"erst in ein paar Tagen verdauen können". Sie repräsentiere zwar vor allem sich selbst, es sei aber"wunderbar, dass die Eurovi­sion nächstes Jahr nach Israel kommt". Go, Netta. Go! () Netta Barzilai, a flamboyant, colorful personality () took the country by storm.() Netta introduced the world to the song she planned to take to the Eurovision:Toy.() Most of us() couldnt make heads or tales of it. Netta clucking like a chicken? Odd-looking dancers performing equally-odd dance moves?() Within hours, the nay-sayers learned that they were clearly the minority. The song was VERY well received around the world. People couldnt stop singing along.() And…it soon be­came the odds-on-favorite to win the competition. Suddenly, Israels participation in the Eurovision Song Contest is relevant once again.() Love it or hate it,Toy is the first song in years that has a real chance of bringing the gold and next years com­petition to the land of Israel.() Go Netta Go! Josh Shron, TOI, 11.05.18 A real-life Wonder Woman () respected journalist Ilana Dayan said she was "afraid that someone will take you and promise you a wonderful career, and you'll follow the same path as everyone else the first thing you'll do will be to lose weight." Barzilai, who is clearly obese, sur­prised listeners with her quick answer:"I don't owe anything to anyone, and if I go on a diet it will hap­pen, and I'll change." Those words sum up the per­sonality of the singer who won the competition(). Netta is a real-life Wonder Woman. Without metal bracelets and without imaginary superpowers, she is much stronger and more inspiring than the fictional character.() Her story() is the story of a girl who was socially rejected and bullied, but didn't give up and stayed true to herself. Netta defies labels. () Netta sees herself as the most popular girl in school, no matter what others think. And that makes her the real Wonder Woman. Eran Suissa, IHY, 13.05.18 1
