The fact that the victory in the song contest will be given to Israel, said long before the performance of the contestants. Oh very cool song Netta Barzilay introduced her homeland. As predicted by the bookmakers, the 25-year-old Israeli woman won first place. Let's find out why the victory was so unconventional in every respect of the performer was quite natural in 2018.
Herald of the #MeToo movement
Even before Netta was named the winner of the contest, she was dubbed in the press only as "the voice of #MeToo". It became known that the composer who wrote the song "Toy" for the girl was inspired by the message of feminists. His revolutionary message Doron Medalje hid among the pop culture attributes, such as the Pokémon and the Barbie doll. But the attentive listener caught an appeal to a girl from the comic books about superheroes, to the Wonder Woman, who, by the way, was played by compatriot Netta - Gal Gadot. The singer calls on all women to find the reserves of their inner strength and to awaken the potential of the Wonder Woman.
Bodiposit to the masses!
Netta Barzilai may well join the Olympus goddess of the body of the body, pushing Tess Holliday and Beth Ditto. Knowingly her song begins with the words "Look at me - I'm a lovely creature ...".
The secret of the girl's confidence can be safely called a body-poise - the ability to love yourself in any body, listening to the voice of the inner self. True, Netta did not achieve such confidence in her uniqueness immediately. In conversations with journalists, the girl repeatedly told that she could not gain a foothold in the profession of pop vocalist because of her unconventional appearance:
"I kept hearing, saying" you're a big girl, dress according to your size. " That is, I needed to wear black, forget about short skirts and bare hands. In other words, I could not be either beautiful or sexy, except that it was funny. "
Netta's speech at the contest was a successful attempt to change the standards, which were seriously rooted in the minds of the audience. Madness of the brave we sing a song ... like chickens?
Fans of Nettie especially liked the "chicken dance" to the accompaniment of cackling from her room. In the network you can already see a lot of skits on the singer's video, where fans of her powerful vocals try to repeat the funny dance of their favorite, singing at the same time "baka-bakum, bak-bak bakumbai".
You might think that this is a meaningless combination of letters, in the genre of "la-la-la" or "tra-la-la", but this is not so. Netta explained that clucking sounds symbolize the chatter of the coward, the same peasant who tries to treat the heroine of the song, as with his toy. In addition, in Japanese there is a word like "tank" and it has a fairly suitable translation - "fool". Only it seems to us that this is not a coincidence?
Friendship with the LGBT community
Do you remember how Netta reacted to her victory? She thanked those who voted for her for choosing diversity. And it's no accident. The girl not only positions herself as an adept of a body kit, but also actively supports all kinds of marginalized people, including people of unconventional sexual orientation. Here is how Netta Barzilai demonstrated her tolerance at the press conference:
"Those who took care of me are people from the LGBT environment. Without them, I would not be myself. I promise that we will see each other on Pride in Tel Aviv! "Read also
