Eliav Zohar, you are the next star, even if the program says otherwise Review

by time news

I remember it like it was yesterday, because between us, it really was not long ago. A singer with orange lenses in his glasses entered the stage and said that he was going to perform an original song, ‘Michal’. Five seconds after he opened his mouth, the judges fell silent and the crowd was on its feet. And me? I felt that something strange was happening here. Almost mystical. We heard a song that none of us recognized, but we all wanted it on our playlist at that very moment and an hour before.

Like something you miss without knowing it, like realizing you found a place right under the hole in the air conditioner. So refreshing. Yesterday, this safe bet, whose name in Hebrew is Eliav Zohar, also entered the elimination list. I know, it’s hard to believe, but we’ll save the shock for last.

It all started with a duel between Livi Panker, a “Music School” retiree who raised the bar with “Last Bus to Haifa” by Eli Butner and Meshi Kleinstein, and reached 87 percent and an all-blue table. Standing in front of her was Ilon Sheltiel, the undisputed double of Itai Levy, who performed Meshina’s ‘Hovati’ in a special performance. The judges were less impressed, and Shelatiel entered the elimination list with only 46 percent and four reds. Not easy, but everything is still open.

Another interesting duel we witnessed pitted Niv Demirel against each other, who performed his song ‘The Small Hours’, and Omer Yafet who actually chose ‘Mol’, Rona Keenan’s immortal song. Demirel won this head-to-head with 89 percent, but note – Essi and Rotem chose to use their last save for Yafet who only reached 76, and passed him automatically. Wonderful ways of saving.

When did the whole story start to get complicated? Fasten your seat belts. In the last duel for this episode, Eliav Zohar against Yam Gronich, Shah’s daughter managed to show us that she is completely an artist in her own right. With an excellent performance of ‘Tel Aviv at night’ by Eden Ben Zaken, Groenich reached 72 percent and a lot of compliments from the judges. Eliav, for his part, this time took out of his magic box ‘Yish Lech’, an original and melodic song that is no less objectively genius. At the end of the song he managed to get only 66 percent, while Itai Levy who waited with the vote, chose red to indicate to him that the choice of song was less to his liking.

A tough duel, no doubt, there are two people here who understand what they are doing. But you can’t argue with the heart, and with me he chose according to the whispers of his heart, and along the way he broke ours. Although the matter is not yet closed, I understand the inexplicable market you experienced from the decision. I thought about it deeply, and there is also a good part – whatever happens in the show, Zohar is here to stay because this is a talent bomb any way you look at it. Take a good look at the calendar – in a few months we will try to find a ticket to his show, and we will have to refresh the booking site time and time again until we have a place in the queue. Remember who said it first.

And we’ll end with a riddle: just before Zohar’s performance, it was written in a small cube next to the screen that Eliav composed and wrote the lyrics of the song, but next to the writing slot another name appeared – Miki Zohar. Is it his father or an amusing coincidence? Get going, those who answer correctly will win another duel day, in just over 12 hours.
