So, it's Netta Barzilai to represent Israel this year. Will she play up to our expectations in Lisbon?

In a word: wow. This song is very different, and, with me, it's an instant hit. Sure, it's a bit unusual, as is Netta's style as a whole, but I think it absolutely works, and even if you're not that much of a fan, the song still holds up even if you ignore that.
I do think this will split opinions somewhat, but with her overwhelming confidence, I don't doubt that Israel will dazzle and shine their way into this year's final, where this song absolutely belongs.
But maybe I'm just starstruck. Listen to the song for yourself, and see what you think:
