For three years they were Noa Kirel and Jonathan Margi The hottest couple in the neighborhood, and as two singers, they even released the duet “Ambulance”, which conquered the chorus charts. The separation between the two, in September 2021, was one of the most talked about events in the country at that time, and although the two stated that they did not hold a grudge – they sent mutual bites.
Changed attitude? Noa Kirel was asked about Margie’s sting towards her (Photo: Kits Barbner)
Margie launched his international career with the song “Sucks To Know You”, which he declared on American television that was written about his ex, in which he sang how much he hated her. While Kirel stated in interviews that she was encouraging him to *also* succeed on his own merits. Since then, it seems that a lot of water has passed in the river, and Kirel is working on her song “Unicorn” to represent Israel at Eurovision, and when she was asked in an interview with TMI, at the launch of the new “Puma” store, in honor of the brand’s 75th anniversary celebrations – about the ex, she presented a less stinging approach.
“This morning we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of ‘Puma’, at the new store in the Ramat Aviv mall. I haven’t been to the mall for a long time, so I’m really enjoying myself, I didn’t even have time to go into the store and shop, so I’m on my way there,” said Noa.
Your song, ‘Unicorn’ ready?
“Ready, the clip is ready in a second, it comes out on 8.3, so it’s just a moment.”
Take us in for a moment, what happens behind the scenes of working on the song?
“When we worked on the music video, it was a 22-hour shooting day and I really danced like I’ve never danced before. And I pushed the limit of my ability to a level that I’ve never been below. It was also very difficult physically, but I’m happy because it turned out amazing.”
Would Noa of ‘Pushraz’ believe that you would stand here today and talk about participating in Eurovision?
“I don’t know. There was a part of me that really believed and there was also a part that really didn’t expect it.”
Your ex is making waves around the world. And sing a little that he hates you. Does this bother you?
“A lot of time has passed since then. I think we look at things as they are and I choose to look at it positively, and I want him to succeed, I’m sure he will, and he deserves it.”
will succeed “even on his own merits”
“Mainly thanks to himself.”
How the partner, Tomer, reacts to this. Do you even have time to see him?
“Sure. There is time. When you want, you find time for everything and he is very accommodating, very accommodating and very much believes in me.”
