Monty’s Eurovision Countdown 2013 Part 20 - ISRAEL Rak Bishvilo by Moran Mazor



You Tube link


Israel deployed a very roundabout way to select a right old duffer for Eurovision this year, and in that I mean the song, although you could extend it to the poor singer. Three semi finals featured 30 songs and this is what they ended up with. It’s not that it’s terrible, but it is non-descript. Moran has earned the early nickname Ugly Betty. Personally I find that a bit harsh, but she does look like the frumpy girl at school who’s tried to sex herself up a bit for the end of year dance and hasn’t known where to start. The frock is entirely ill-advised; it clings snugly to her hour-and-a-half-glass figure whilst her neckline plunges to reveal a not un-proud bosom but the overall effect is that she’s forgotten to zip up her cardigan. It puts me in mind of the time Judy Finnegan’s boobs fell out in a TV award show. And the specs! Honey, men don’t make passes at girls who wear (those) glasses! Given her song, translating as Only For Him, is about her attempt to win over a man it’s time she considered contact lenses, or at least something less associated with Su Pollard. She’s got a voice, but frankly, the rest of it is a mess, and I can’t see her going anywhere but home for an early bath.

My score: 3 points

  1. Harsh, and hardly anything about the song.Just about the look, styling and everything else except the song.It's a shame it's coming from you.

    One of your poorest reviews ever.

  2. Well, as I said I can't really find much to say about the song, there's just not much to it for me. But we can't agree all the time; I hope it's all taken in the tongue-in-cheek way it's all meant :-)

    1. We can't agree all the time- that's the beauty of the contest,isn't it?
      If you don't like the song, you can say it in a very simple way. But from your review, it seems, that the look distracted you so much, you hardly even listened to the song.

    2. Oh I did listen, but you've just identified what might be exactly her problem on the night with the televoters.
