With no PR and no beauty team, only with the sheer talent that we fell in love with in the first place, Neta Barzilai brought up a charming cabaret that throws the listener to 2017, before becoming an engineered diva

Neta Barzilai posted a personal, intimate and very unconventional video on YouTube and Facebook this week for anyone who has become a pop diva who is appearing all over the world and is picking prestigious campaigns. The woman whose every move is accompanied by a magnificent beauty team, whose every decision undergoes executive and PR approval, and that every song gets aggressive promotion - can be seen in a video sitting in her small room, wearing a daily sweatshirt, with her shoe shelves, flower pots and bushes in the background.

"Hi everyone!", Says Neta at the opening of the video with the sweet enthusiasm that characterizes her and in perfect English, "Welcome, I'm Neta. This is my room where I sleep. I need an open channel with my audience, like, something really direct. I want to feel "You know, you're there. It's for you. It's been very, very difficult for me to bring out new music because of a lot of obstacles, and it's so much easier, and free."

After the introduction comes its cover version of the 90's Coco Jumbo hit. From the moment she stops talking, Neta begins to emit strange sounds into the microphone, swirling them in her looper and singing - and she seems to be shining as she has not been since that night when she greeted the world with "Atonement on you!" Watching it, giving a larger-than-life performance in a minimalist production, makes you as a spectator smile and enthusiastic as when you first encountered the wonderful "TOY".

So suddenly, without warning, the diva-managed diva, who even found herself writing and singing as one of the last materialist celebs for a real estate company, returned to herself, her natural, graceful and so talented character, who captured our hearts ever in 2017. In one humble video For seven and a half minutes, Neta blew the puffy balloon from her hair scissors and Swarovski blocks for who she really was.

And she seems to be definitely aware of this gap between the character in which the audience fell in love with the character she is today. Because otherwise, why was all this introduction to the song needed, in which she introduced herself and explained her motive? Isn't it meant to emphasize that the plant that sits now in front of you is not the engineered plant that brought you "Nana Banana" and "Bassa Rot", but that once-smiling, talented plant that took "Gangnam Style", "Rod Boy" and "Tick Tock" , Dismantled them into factors and made them their own way in such a special way?

It would be good for us, too, if Neta could combine her monumental career as an international fighter with who she really is. It would be good if you occasionally put us in her little room, because from there, and only from there, comes great music.
