i don't think i've ever seen a more beautiful women with such a great voice!! I wish israel won :) best song i belive israel has ever sent for eurovision
I'm also Greek and I liked Elena's song but this was by far the best song from that year. In fact - this is the best Eurovision song to come along for a long time. Love the fact it's billingual - I live in England and I am sick of hearing all the songs in English. Eurovision was so much better in the 90s when people actually sang in their own language, or at least part of their song was in their own language.
Eurovision 2005 had a lot of great contestants but Shiri was really the best - best voice, song, class, performance, lyrics. Helena Paparizou won because of that cheap slutty dances. She was a big zero comparing to this lady!!!
She was fantastic and should have one. But she was nervous and sounded off-key a bit through the first verse and the chorus. Also, she should have done verse 2 in hebrew, it is much more beautiful.
This is by far one the best songs ever performed on Eurovision. I do not know what is wrong nowadays with the audience, it's as if they do not like songs with melody. I am from Greece and think that despite our Pararizou winning that year, this song was such a stronger entry -- and honestly I am not basing my judgement based on good looks. Bravo Israel and Shiri.
This is just a breath of fresh air there is no reason in the world for not winning, if this contest would have been held in the UK or USA she would have won, she sings nice and her voice is just wow. this is the best not just 2005 but for years before and on till now, i keep up with with all of these contest and this is one of the best i've ever heard. Europe what a shame you had it in your hands and let it go.
who could say the opposite?? she should have exactly been the winner!!! OMG!! everytime I watch her performance, I'm like, oh my god, what's goin on!?! she is really really great!!
It's a good song, and it sucks that some people on Youtube take politics into account when commenting... We're as European as they are, and there's no denying it...
it's more than 100 points and that influeneces.Israel has no "friends" in Europe. If Shiri was from countries like Armenia, Turkey or Greece, she would have won for sure.
I would be happy when she win this contest. I don't know why Greece is win...Shiri's song is so much better than grecian. In Shiri's show all is ideal- dress, voice, interpretation, embrace of camera...is this the best song of all Eurovisions.
I really love this song. A very special and beautiful girl and a beautiful song. It should have won, but with the usual anti-Israel bias that emanates from Europe, I am not surprised that it did not. The whole contest needs reforming to stop injustices like this from happening.
One of the best songs for the ESC in my opinion. Thank you for the music!
Greetings to Israel from your friends in Canada.

Laylla is night in hebrew.
LAYILA BA LE-AT, HA-Z’MAN NE-ETZAR = Night comes slowly, time stops
LAYILA VE-ATA HA-SHEKET SH-NISHAR = Night with you (actually literally it means night AND you), the silent that's remaining
it doesn't have much more sense in hebrew either, just a bunch of words with inner meanings.
hope i'd helped

Hungary- Neighbouring country
UK- always giving many points for Greece.
