    Hi again Batel,

    I think one thing that Liron might have against him is that he is older. I haven't followed this year's "Kochav Nolad" as closely as I use to, but the other contestants are young and cute, whereas Liron is a "gever". I have a hunch that those who are most eager to vote on Saturday are the younger watchers, and their vote will probably go to David or Hagit. I also lika Hagit a lot, so I will put her in second place. As for David....well, I can't really see what is so special about him...

    One of the main considerations in every reality show is the NARRATIVE.
    A good voice is no longer sufficient...they're looking for a story.
    David's story is of a boy who defied his parents' up bringing....he is Chozer Be'she'la.
    He stopped being religious.
    The unusual thing about it is that they've embraced his choice and became characters much like Noy Danan's father who looks like a thug but is portrayed as a soft and sensitive to his kid's needs.
    Davis is also easy to mold...he's young and inexperienced.
    Finally, the camera likes blue eyed boys...espcially with so many ___ people in the media.

    A reality show has very strict conventions.
    It lends itself to different topics such as music or cooking but never abandons its obligation to the format.

    I hope you now understand what's so "special" about Mr. Lavi.

    I like David because he has a very soft voice and a simple style. Is he frightening? xD About Liron, I think there is no way to compare him to David. They are completely different but both good!

    And Hagit too.

    Ester - Eti Ankri (Eti is short for Ester [Esther] )

    You called me Ester
    When I wanted to forget
    And I found joy
    In the place I wanted to run to
    You called me Ester
    And your eyes (are) silent
    We both studied
    In the same wilderness

    You said to me Ester
    I stopped galloping
    And the distance
    Can't go back
    In that place you knew
    There were deep pits
    I've grown wings
    And I have no face

    Ahhhh

    You told me "Ester
    Don't look at me like that
    We both know
    So let's forget
    Keep walking
    God is with you
    I'm falling asleep over here
    He's forgotten about me"

    Ahhhh


    Sing Ester for me
    Sing
    Sing for the children
    Before they touch
    Before they go
    Sing Ester to the world
    I'm falling asleep

    Micha'el - Eti Ankri


    They say Micha'el is a boy's name
    So they call me MIcha'ela
    And the neighbor's boy laughs with them
    He says that she thinks that

    I don't like it when (they) change my name
    I don't like the neighbor's boy too


    And one girl, she's called Daniel
    And (they) don't call her Daniela
    Only my name is hard to get used to
    So they call me Micha'ela

    And mom says that people are like that
    When it's difficult for them to finish they drag the endings
    And Micha'el is a pretty name
    So instead of calling her from the start
    They add the la la la la la la


    I don't like it when (they) change my name
    I don't like the neighbor's boy too

    and at night when everyone went to sleep
    the cat and hare too
    Micha'el suddenly came out of the clock
    My name spoke like a child

    He doesn't care that he's being changed
    He doesn't care about the neighbor's son too


    I see him, since then, everywhere
    And they say that I only think that
    And he makes me laugh, especially
    When he calls me Micha'eli

    And mom says that people are like that
    When it's difficult for them to finish they drag the endings
    And Micha'el is a pretty name
    So instead of calling her from the start
    They add the la la la la la la


    I don't care that (they) change my name anymore
    and I also don't care about the neighbor's boy

    Lolita - Eti Ankri (live with David Daor)

    Lolita you're a pretty girl
    And you got potential
    It's not about brains
    It's only about the butt
    The eyes aren't so bad too
    Yes you got a little lucky
    If you get the "principle"
    It'll always be easy for you



    First act in front of the mirror
    Later in front of an audience
    And don't eat cheese cakes
    It's not good for the weight
    Listen to what I'm telling you:
    La li la li la li …..why would you ….
    La li la li la li .....I'm like a brother..I am
    Oh Lolita


    Lolita, how beautiful you are
    It's a crazy world out there
    Time has given the cue
    And you need to run
    Run on stages
    (wearing) mini and cleavage
    And if you're better
    We'll drive from coast to coast

    Leave theater aside
    And complicated brains
    Lolita you're a pretty girl
    That's your luck
    Listen to what I'm telling you:
    La li la li la li …..why would you….
    La li la li la li .....I'm like a brother..I am
    Oh Lolita


    Lolita, how beautiful you are
    My heart is breaking
    Hours in a studio for actors
    You're time is running out
    And the years will pass you by
    You wouldn't understand how
    Pay little attention (listen) to the man
    Who "likes" you

    so first act in front of me
    And then in front of an audience
    And don't tell anyone
    It's not good for luck
    Listen to what I'm telling you:
    What is he saying?
    La li la li la li …..why would you ….
    La li la li la li .....I'm like a brother….I am
    Oh Lolita


    Brilliant brilliant brilliant lyricist !!!

    wonderful lyrics ....

    Slichot


    * A poem by Leah Goldberg that's turned into a song
    * Slichot is plural of Slicha=forgiveness,
    * also a phrase that depicts a period of time between month Eloul and month Tishrai
    (August -September ) in which according to Jewish tradition people are required to pray and ask for forgiveness

    You came to me, to open my eyes
    And your body for me (is) a view and a window and a mirror
    You came like the night that comes to an Eagle-owl
    To show it all the things in the darkness


    And I've learned: a name for each eye lash and nail
    And each hair on the bare flesh
    And childhood smell, a scent of glue and pine
    Is the scent of the body's night



    If there were torments- they've sailed to you
    My white sail to your blackness
    Let me go, oh let me go
    To kneel on the shore of forgiveness



    And I've learned: a name for each eye lash and nail
    And each hair on the bare flesh
    And childhood smell, a scent of glue and pine
    Is the scent of the body's night

    Default Adon ha-selichot

    Batel, you reminded me of one of the few liturgical Hebrew songs that I know, the Sephardi/Mizrahi "Adon ha-selichot". I love this melody, and fortunately there are loads of videos on youtube. So here are a few hazzanim (though I don't know if Yaniv Ben Mashiach is a hazzan!) performing this tune:

    Here is hazzan Isak Macoro of Istanbul, singing in the classic Ottoman style (Ottoman makamat):

    [sRhMOqxqW0I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRhMOqxqW0I&feature=related[/video]

    Lior Elmalich:

    I'll put the other links without video so they won't take up so much space.

    Modern-style with Yaniv Ben Mashiach:

    Hi Eva

    Someone should read these posts in the Israeli embassy in Sweden
    and treat you to an all included vacation here.
    Trust me you know more than many Israelis about their culture.

    As for cantors, they are not professional singers...
    At least not in the past and certainly not in Yemenite culture.
    Any man who is leading the prayer (does the solo bits) is a cantor.
    Naturally the more talented vocalists (like my late father)
    were asked to do the chanting on holy days like Yom Kippur.
    A good cantor adds to the prestige of the synagogue.

    When I was a kid all boys went to the MORI (something like Sunday school or Heder {room} in European culture)
    where they learned to read in the Torah.

    I was wondering about you not mentioning the Andalusian Orchestra, another long over due piece of cultural and social justice that's finally been done.
    Funny thing is that Yehoram Gaon who was one of the most vociferous spokesmen of the demand to form that orchestra, is the one who spoke against Mizrachi music. He did more damage to our cause than his previous contribution.

    I really struggle to understand the need for labeling music and putting into categories like good and bad.
    We vote with our feet and our money.

    Eyal Golan said "They (the media) finally realized...."

    Well I guess not all of them.

    Thank you for the videos....

    I'm attaching a video from Temana festival that's taken every Sukkoth (holiday in September) in my hometown Rosh Ha'ayin to celebrate Yemenite culture. This is a dance that's been free styled by young people...I just love what they did with the original steps and that they expressed themselves by recreating it . I see elements of Cwalk dance in their version to Yemenite dance.
    The girls on the left doing the line dance are dancing Da'asa.
    Next Temana I'll go and take some videos of all the different arts presented there.

    Another lovely religious song....as well as a Ladino love song!

    [3V36ZcSY0qk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V36ZcSY0qk&playnext=1&list=PL9366849A7557 DFB9[/video]

    And the Greek version performed by a cyber acquiantance of mine, Grigoris Maninakos from New York:

    [V9eiyiG-POo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9eiyiG-POo[/video]

    I think the story behind this song is that the composer Stavros Koujoumtzis, who was from Thessaloniki, had heard the "Tzur mi-shelo" sung by his Jewish neighbours and liked it so much that he asked Manos Eleutheriou to write new lyrics to the melody. The song was recorded by Dalaras and rest is history, of course...I imagine that he sings this song every time he performs in Israel!

    Yes he does...and it's one of the few times he smiles through out the show...his facial expression is usually very stern and concentrated but when he does that song...he lets go and really has fun listening to the crowd singing with him.
