Mei beer is Finegold the dry beer. Extra dry. Get it? Finegold is not a beer, but the last name of the performer who will represent Israel in Copenhagen with "Same Heart."
"Same Heart" is a club effort in which her vocals--tailored for heavy rock--are great, but still an excellent piece of work. Some people might criticize simply because this is a club track, but most club tracks in ESC have been good to me; most make the grand final. She will perform in the second semifinal on Thursday, the 8th of May, and I predict that she will make the grand final on Saturday, the 10th of May.
Israel might not be geographically European (it is technically an Asian country like other ESC participating countries such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Cyprus), but it is a country who has a broadcast network that is a member of the EBU. Hence, their ESC participation, since 1973. From Izhar Cohen in 1978 ("A Ba Ni Bi") and 1985 ("Ole Ole") to Dana International in 1998 (winner with "Diva") and in 2011 ("Ding Dong") and Izabo "Time" in 2012, there have been some bright spots for this nation in ESC. This is even better than "Rak Bishvilo" by Moran Mazor from Malmo! Mark my words!
Up next: Emma Marrone "La Mia Citta."
