He is a talented actor and sweet person, but it is time for Marimi to give up singing career • Opera in the new song - excessive • Criticism

Our Eurovision representative Kobe Merrimi is experienced at breaking records in tough reviews, and the last thing he needs is for someone to point out his problems behind the microphone. His captivating personality and sweetness, his life story, and again - the amount of filth he has had to deal with from winning the "Next Star" to crying on stage in Tel Aviv, further aggravates those who need to criticize his work sharply, a task that seems like a knife wound in an open wound anyway.

Kobe Marimi - "Not Alone"

But Marimi leaves no one to visit him. His new single "Not Alone" brings the listener back to the days when "HOME" performance was ignored, understanding that the songwriters would have done better, wondering if one of the other "star" finalists had managed to score some points in the contest, and chill out, rather than a good section In general, from listening to the operatic voice with exaggeration and where not needed, by the singer, let's face it - much more an actor than a singer.

As is well known, Marimi acquired a higher education in Nissan Nativ Studio and also in the theater was in the theater. Even before his release in reality, Marimi played in various shows and even received appreciation and success, with the title "Promising Actor" at the Bat Yam musical festival. And it's no wonder, since this is exactly his place. The theatrical presentation, the exaggerated sensitivity and the operatic voice - are all great characteristics for a player in a musical, but not a professional singer.

Once he opens his mouth in the new single, something doesn't sit there. The poignant song in itself and its subtle rendering come to balance all the elements, and yet, the inappropriate presentation of Lifting hovers over the song and annoys the ear. As it progresses, the excessive operaticism overflows, until the listener really gets the hang of it.

It didn't fit on the Dance Style Crib in the previous single "Yalla Bye," and it didn't work well in the new song, a simple pop ballad. Kobe Marimi is very talented, a lovely guy and an inspirational person, but it seems like it's time to learn the lesson and give up on the singing career. His future is on the stage of the theater, and only there he can flourish.
