The judges are vying for disproportionate compliments and the business is out of control, with only Amdorsky standing in the gap. And also: Eden Elena continues to aim for the final and what is the connection between the show and Naama Issachar? • Weekly tracking

• She deserves praise. Moran Aharoni

Oh, what a duo that was! From what to start? Is from the panel of judges who became gender balanced with Miri Mesika who played Itai Levi's place and helped bring to the table a prominent female force? Maybe we'll talk about the cool orchestra joining the stage (it's still a music program after all)? Maybe we will even discuss Itai Levi's landings attack with graduates of Rimon and Asaf Amdorsky, because what is not "bearable" is not considered?

Actually, leave all that aside, let's talk about exaggerations - they've always been a constitutional staple of commercial television, but "The Next Star to Eurovision" seems to be taking the issue to the extreme, and worst of all? We would love to believe her! According to the show's judges, every singer in the show is "rocket" and "explosive," every performance is at the final level (Eurovision final, yes?) And any impeachment is simply impossible. Everyone except Asaf Amdorsky. While the "star" judges are competing with some of the exaggerated superlatives, Amdorsky is the only one to sit there and pity him and say "sorry I was breathing at all, but the performance wasn't perfect."

So yes - there are lots of good singers and fine voices this season, but no - not every one of them deserves to be represented at Eurovision. The reason we may think this is so is that "The Star" is pummeling this message over and over again. Still, if the impeachment is not dramatic - what reason would viewers come back to watch the next episode? In the era of a brutal war against ratings against Big Brother, the wild exaggerations of "star" judges are the click-byte of television.

And on another really serious topic - Naama Issachar. Last night (Monday), the family of the Israeli young woman imprisoned in Russia was hosted, and Assi and Ruth read a statement calling on the prime minister to discuss Putin's case. It is possible to discuss the impact of an entertainment TV show on this serious issue. One can also assume that behind this move there are also genuine and sincere intentions to bring Issachar's simple state of affairs to the agenda, but then we remembered that two episodes Ben-Tavori performed in his Nimba Excise program, and suddenly it is hard not to be cynical about the move again. We have also been reminded that on the guest list of the "star" to date are Dean Miroshnikov, Nicole Raidman and Maya Buskila - people who are now at the heart of the consensus. Not in her favor, Naama Issachar has also become a consensus and a topic of discourse. Wonder that she is also "hosted" on the show?

Rock v. Light

After last week's impasse, we returned to the duel format this week. Every contestant who came to fate grilled him a contestant who would face him. The correct word for describing the move is "Amala!", For example, will he avoid a contestant like Amrami-Brockman light to choose, for example, Omar Eliyahu? That, by the way, is what really happened, and with or without connection - Elijah found himself ousted at the end of the evening.

Even earlier, Eden Zohar Sabag opened the round with "Ain't no other man" (Christina Aguilera) and, like her previous performance, captured the stage in a storm of cheeky and fun groove. After that came Gaya Shaki who performed the Dance monkey "(Tones and i"), and although not 100 percent released, gave a strong performance that was 90 percent and five blue. Shaky sounded like an experienced singer performing at an international music festival, and must be complimented Also about musical diversity (last week's Reichel era, some earlier "Crazy" shows.) All signs indicate that this is one of the most confident contenders for the final.

As part of the secret agreement the production signed with Amir Dadon (not really), Raviv Kinner performed the singer's "Galim". It was a charming and pleasing musical performance that emphasized Raviv's beautiful and powerful vocal color - and yet at the end of the performance, we too, like financing songs, were unmoved. In front of him came Lely Kolshin who performed "She wolf" (David Guetta and Sia). Kulshin is a young, powerful singer, who expressed herself in the performance and brought her the victory against Raviv, but as we also saw last week, her voice is not always stable - which can in her mind as the team decreases.

Then came the turn of Orr Amrami-Brockman who performed "Humen" (Raj Ann Bon Mann) and as usual all the judges except Amdorsky entered the contest for the most faint reaction (do you really have any suggestions for improvement for a 17 year old? Is he ready for the final? ). This time it felt like he was playing a bit of Rockist's manor and the intention wasn't quite there. Still, assuming he was asked to re-enlist on February 4, at least his song selection on the way there was varied. Opposite him was Omar Eliyahu, who performed "Intrigued Love" (Yishai Ribu). Omar a lovely singer who gives the feeling of an experienced person who knows how to hold a stage, but still, not bring significant depth or renewal to such a recognizable song, and more in the performance of light ?! It's like running 2000 without sneakers ... like raining without an umbrella ... like static without Ben-El (hey! Just an idea. Just plain). In short, Light again won.

Everyone loves Moran Aharoni

Tonight's visual moment is signed to the name of Ohad Shragai who performed "Dangerous woman" (Ariana Grande) in a way that associatively uttered the word - respect! It was a spectacular performance, in which the performance of the drag queen (and the dragon king) bought him points, but their presence also affected his singing for the better and brought him a powerful side. As we wrote last week, he has to appreciate the courage to try and change, especially when faced with an evil animal like Moran Aharoni who performed "Stone cold" (Demi Lovato), in a spectacular, crazy and superlative way of dealing with what she does with something called music (us too). Allowed to drift!). Whether you win the program or not, we just hope to keep seeing more and more of her - she is awesome. Amdorsky summed up beautifully: "When I grow up I want to sing like you." Oh, and of course she won, if anyone had any doubt.

After the aforementioned moving moment, Eden Elena brought back the atmosphere with "Locked out of heaven" (Bruno Mars) and held this simple song excellently, while delivering a powerfully vocal performance that desires to dance. Eden's story is interesting, because Despite her experience in reality (winning the last season of "Ex Factor"), she did start this strongest season there, but from performance to performance she has improved and her last number has already pushed her upwards in the program and this time she won 91 percent - the high score Is it possible to bet that the final already has a room with its name on it? We'll guess so. In front of her was Doral Saadon who performed "Titanium" (David C. It is a charming singer with a beautiful voice, but to put it mildly - it seems that we have reached the limit of his abilities right now.

The show was signed by two: Louis Ali who performed "Iceland" (Shlomo Artzi) and he is also cute, charming and easy to like, but honestly most of his performance over the season was not great and it is hard to imagine him really starring on the Eurovision stage or even qualifying for the final. Trying to create a discussion about the option that represented us, when the singers are such great singers, feels fictitious. In front of him was the latest dueling duo, Ella Lee-Lahav, who performed "Toxic" (Britney Spears), submitting a good performance, but certainly not her best, and one that took too long to explode. She did win a duel (but what), but on the way, she got her first red in the program. "Congratulations!", As Static said.

And we will only add a prayer for that - and dear team forgiveness - that in the next round will be dismissed by more than one contender. Otherwise, we would accidentally reach the final with eight contestants and mistakenly vote for Nicki Goldstein.
