This girl is so sweet! She was my second favourite act behind Chiara, for Eurovision 2005. I would have put her equal with Elena Paparizou... but it seems for Europe, sex sells.
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 has got so much power in her voice! This song is just amazing and I love it! She should have won the esc 2005, it was the best song and she was the girl with the most incredible voice!
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.
i remember this performance finally someone did israel proud trying to find a song from this(2005)time i think in there are the words"el hayam hagadol"please help

(continue) I'm not even from Israel myself but I love the country, people and I adore Shiri. It's sad to see how much people can hate a country for it's religion, and almost nothing else but that...
I can't help but to love this song... But what really disturbs me is that Israel's been hated from the very beginning and the hatered doesn't stop, but gets even worse each and every day. This song should have taken the first place, it's one of the best Eurovision songs ever. Finland won with a sucky singer with no singing talent at all, and the song's about hell and demons, but Israel doesn't win with Shiri Maimon's STUNNING voice and an utterly great song?
I fully endorse what you say. Shri is very special, beautiful and talented who should have won. It is the usual anti-Israel crap that emanates throughout much of the EU these days that prevented it. I agree. That is what disturbs me too. It doesn't matter what Israel does, it is never right.
She should have won! She looks gorgeous and the performance was so elegant. :-) The song is wonderful! I think this was the best song of the 2005 contest.
With respect, you are talking rubbish. This was not only the best song of 2005, it is an absolute outrage that it did not win. It confirms what I have said from day one, that there is an anti-Israel bias that emanates throughout the European Union. Shiri has it all. Beautiful looks, great talent, wonderful voice. She should have won.
Dont worry Israel is not the only country to suffer from bias votes, the UK also has same fate! This song was great and I like Israel, From UK! 12POINTS!
"Dont worry Israel is not the only country to suffer from bias votes, the UK" etc.
Sadly, I am not sure that is correct. Whilst there is a mild dislike of the UK, there is a pathelogical hatred of Israel. You only have to see how Sarit Hadad was treated with broadcasters openly dissing Israel and calling on the viewers not to vote for her. When Israel protested, they were accused of being paranoid.
I dont disagree with you i was just stating that they both suffer from bias within the esc! yeah ur right israel is hated and i agree with you! i was just saying that they are both victims, obviously the uk is not as badly treat!
And to be honest i think in terms of the ESC the UK probably is worse off, i think we do ourselves no favours with the shite we send to Eurovison every year but for the past several years we have faired worse than Israel!
One of the most passionate performances I have ever seen. It brings tears to my eyes and makes me wish I could sing...... Fantastic! Israel - do not give up on Eurovision. We love you !
"One of the most passionate performances I have ever seen"
I fully endorse what you said and could not have put it better. The saddest thing is with a strong pro-arab mentality currently in Europe, it would be very difficult for a wonderful song as this to win. The whole system of Eurovision needs reforming to stop travesties such as this from happening.
Olmert is more in the center, he is not a right winger, and he doesnt hate arabs, other wise Israeli arabs, who are 20% of the population would go nuts every day.
Amir Peretz for example is a socialist left winger... of the labour party..
I got a message from ISrael Forever on this video. Yes I am stupid ( I am Iranian for gods sake) And I tried to answer but it seems it doesn't work to send mails from youtube. you can post me if you have an hotmail adress or something if you want answers on the questions you asked.
Is it so hard to avoid replying politically to videos which contain Israel, Israeli or Jew/Judaism? This is about music and this is a beautiful song which should have one in my opinion.
I couldn't agree more. It's such a great song! Sends shivers down my spine, and yes it should've won! Although 4th isn't so bad. This is much better than what won it this year or last year.
It just shows you that Israel can produce some amazing music, and for the Eurovision also. They should put forward more Shiri's and less 'Push the Button's!!
Samarin4, what do you mean by Zionists? not only there are different types but i consider myself a none religious Zionist and i dont have any problem with Iranians, infact they are probably the most democratic favouring people other than Israelis in the middle east... if you are talking about fanatical right wing religious "zionists", than agreed, they are just as worse.
OK you must be right. But the picture your govt is giving us is no different of what our bastarous regime is giving a picture of Iranians. what I mean is that the Zionists are those with the power in the nation. ex: Olmert. You never see a regular Israeli say " Death to arabs". You only see people like Olmert. Tell me how many of you really wants all arabs dead? Even me as an Iranian doesn't want them all dead.
I know it was 2 years ago. Still it is a good song. Sadly people vote politacly. They should understand that Israel is sorrounded by arabs and bluff Ayatollas. I hope my nation, Iran admitted that Israel is it's allies. And some day I hope Iranian women can start sing again. Iranians and Israelis must unite to defeat the Ayatollas and Zionists ( NOT JEWS)
