A few days before the start of the Eurovision Song Contest 2018, more and more voices are calling the Israeli singer Netta Barzilai (stage name Netta) as the absolute favorite of the event, representing her country with the song “Toy”.

Netta Barzilai was born on January 22, 1993 in the city of Hod Hasharon. Victory in the fifth season of the show “A-Kohav A-Ba Le-Irovizyon” allowed her to represent her country at Eurovision 2018. We will see Netta in the first semi-final on May 8th.

Surprisingly, Netta Barzilai began her career as a singer only in September 2017, as a result of which her work itself, her manner of performance and her voice in general are completely unfamiliar to the vast majority of viewers. The track “Toy” (the name translates as “Toy”) is intended, according to the singer, to “emphasize the autonomy and independence of a woman in this complex world.”

In March 2018, the singer’s presentation video entitled “Netta - TOY - Israel - Official Music Video - Eurovision 2018” was posted on the official Eurovision Song Contest channel on Youtube. To date, this life-affirming video has been viewed by more than 17 million people.
