Blur, you run, stop for a second on the side.
We're in the semi-finals so blur, do not press.
A representative for the Eurovision Song Contest was chosen after the inauguration, because a week and a half before the end of the season of "The X Factor" it is worth stopping aside and saying: Neta Barzilai as a reality judge is an annoying TV character, even to an unbearable level.
And the reasons are long and varied.
Throughout the episodes, Neta repeatedly provided crunchy responses to the performance of the songs, and in many cases acted on the judging panel like an adolescent girl flooded with emotions.
As she herself testified, it is enough for Sapir Saban to sing to her about the ingredients of soy milk or for Michael Ben-David to just look at her so that Neta will break down from crying with excessive theatricality.
When Neta has to explain her opinion about the competitors she is judging, it will usually be done from her narrow point of view, with some such egocentrism that will always remind her of herself and the path she has taken.
And since everything in her is exaggerated, then usually her reactions will be exaggerated: amazing, perfect, my heart shattered, and a host of other superlatives about any mediocre performance.
The level of paragon for the participants in the season and the enthusiasm for them went beyond proportions, and Neta is not the only judge who sins in this - the bunch of judges in "The X Factor" make sure to lift the contestants of the season much more than they really deserve.
And so inflate the ego, lift them really high, and immediately release them to crash alone out of reality.
Only once in a generation does someone come out of such a program straight to win the Eurovision, so is it responsible towards the contestants?
Certainly not.
There are a lot of failures in this season of "The X Factor", and the judging table is probably the biggest.
Something there is not working, not interesting, and mostly unclear.
The decisions and reasons for the judgment contradict themselves from plan to plan, and sometimes even in the same plan.
It turns out that contestants like Lynette, Shimi Tavori and others were fired for no definite reason while Neta, for example, shamelessly promotes her good friend Sapir Saban, and even called Aviv Geffen "disgusting" when he dared to criticize Saban's poetry.
Fulfilled if it was just Barzilai, but her lack of objectivity radiates to the rest of the judges as well.
Geffen, for example, obsessively guards Anna Stephanie and Eli Choli;
And in retrospect, it somehow turned out that the singers who received the most push from the judges and the production were actually from past network programs, such as Saban, Choli and Inbal Bibi.
Strange, right?
If anyone thought of raising a comparison to "The Next Star," it's really unnecessary.
"The X Factor" took on the choice of the song that represented Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest this year, but it is clear to everyone that it is big on her, so much so that it seems as if she has fallen into the situation.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
