Eurovision 2018 Review: Israel, "Toy", Netta

[@TheOrneryNerd]

Now, this is a professional review

[@heathergladding8420]

The only problem is that she has NOT been allowed to loop, its an amazing part of her act (like you mentioned). It didn’t sound as good in the semi-final but thankfully she got through.

[@christinavanbeek]

This made me look at the song from a completely different angle. I used to strongly dislike it, but now that I understand the message it's sending, it's actually an okay song.

[@nuritaflalo5382]

Absolutely GREAT VIDEO, no one could have explained that better then you !!! quite a research you have done. Best video I've ever seen - love from Israel

[@overthinkingit]

Right back atcha.

[@tarnegolet2000]

Great Analysis. I think you unveiled the layers of the song, illuminating it beyond its popular tone and the obvious motivation to have it stand out in a contest.

[@jarlhenrik]

I will be very surprised if Israel doesn't win this year. I am hopeful about our own Rybak, but frankly, the catchiness of this song plus its very relevant theme makes it kind of a hit.

[@Sabrinajaine]

'You're stupid just like your smart...phone' wow such good lyrics, much deep and meaningful

[@buddhidev7877]

Agree, totally.

[@RubyChiang]

This is one of the best ones!!! Thank you for your amazing work! Can’t wait to hear more!!

[@alicelana8676]

Thank you !!! Toda!!! Спасибо!!!From Israel!!!

[@TealFalls]

SHE WON!

[@roy.moreno]

Amazing analysis ♥

[@OO-bx3vs]

U soooooo right, LOVE your analyzing!

[@oroloroplootploot3892]

This is what results from genemanipulating and slicing israelis with chickens. Mind controll comes in many forms, bet this israel representative is empowered by mossad.

[@אריאלברקוביץ-ת5ס]

örölörö plöötplööt you anti semitic jerk who doesnt care about metoo and abuses women

[@oroloroplootploot3892]

im not against "jews" but im against zionists and coporatocracy... maybe you lesser people should review yourselves and how you are being taken advantage of by the corporatocracy currently ruling the whole world. Not the enemy of any nations people.

[@oroloroplootploot3892]

Well the lord will descend from heaven on the pile of "jew" bones or among them when they learn out of their wicked ways. Sort of a "jesus" story.

[@nofar4951]

Wow! awesome way to analyze the song! loved it :) I cross my fingers for our beloved Netta!

[@TheNashNetwork]

Definitely agree with you on this stuff, wow. I didn't even know about this meaning.

[@maarukka58]

It's not about Me too but tells about Netta's childhood what she went through, Netta told.

[@kennet7837]

Still doesn't make the song good.

[@kornaes]

Kennet It's your option.

[@kennet7837]

naapurinerkki opinion* Yes, a music student's opinion, and musically Israel's song is just your standard overproduced dance pop track with processed vocals, except they added cringy chicken noises on top of it.

[@noya5500]

sorry to ruin it for you, I'm sure you're very talented and have a great musical understanding, but that doesn't mean that you can dismiss the song like this as an "overproduced dance-pop track" that contains "cringy chicken noises". especially not after you heard a brief story about what is the meaning of this... and if you are yet to understand, let me sharpen the point for you- the chicken noises are to demonstrate the fear of those sexual predators (because underneath it all, as was mentioned in the video- they're doing it because they're afraid from a world where women will be equal to them... among other reasons of course), and also, interestingly enough- in hebrew there is a word that means both a male and a chicken, so there is obviously a light hearted hint to that... above all, i sure hope that in music lessons they also teach you to hear and understand the sounds the singer is making and not just hearing a song once and dismissing it as shallow and 'cringy'... sorry if my comment seems harsh, i just think your comment had a sense of someone who didn't research the meaning of the song and just heard it once and decided to "roast" it without understanding it...

[@maidmarion6465]

After watching this video, I like this song so much more. Great review!!

[@mdlovemj4ever]

loved Everything about your explanation and interpretation of Netta's song. Great video 🌹

[@josephvitug]

You articulated most of my thoughts about this song and added more insight (like what those apparently random sounds in the intro might have meant). Brilliant!

[@revitalattoun]

I really like your review - very interesting. You are very intelligent! Great job!

[@uriyedidyah]

Thanks a lot for this post and clever notes greeting from Nazareth, Israel

[@shon_channel_4991]

im from nazereth illit hah :)

[@sooh6299]

Nailed it with "Next year in Jerusalem"

[@leoneldiazlantigua1479]

What a clever way to explain the song. Just amazing. Gettings from Dominican Republic

[@danasale8721]

Omg you’re so right!!! Next year in Israel

[@yuvalg9601]

The winning song!!

[@Petpatrol2]

Dude! What a great analysis! I don't think I've ever enjoyed a eurovision-based video quite like this before! :) Great work!

[@guygusa]

Spot on!!!!! Brilliant review for an amazing song! Winner alert (-:

[@kcat824]

the "baka bakum" thing: baka its an idiet in japanis. she saying he is like chiken and idiot at the same time

[@oooooxxxxxz7426]

amazing vid. amazing song

[@divanahi]

Israelis have found your video and are munching on it. Liked most of your analysis, I think the writers of the song will agree with most of it. cheers!

[@ani2755]

Loved your analysis of the song. Especially the part about the sounds in the beginning. Ty❤️

[@seppoleonvervloet132]

Been waiting 4 this

[@ashibullet]

Excellent Review!

[@galimagic]

Thank you for that. Next year in Jerusalem

[@yanivoz84]

or tel aviv

[@ylevy5]

Only Tel Aviv. Jerusalem symbolizes everything which is in stark contrast to Eurovision as a homophobic city

[@dankhnw8]

Betta not be Tel aviv...

[@MozartJunior22]

Actually it might be in Haifa since there's a big stadium there

[@yigaldiker5937]

Has to be Tel Aviv. Jerusalem is a hateful sad city, Tel Aviv fits well with the spirit or the Eurovision and the people. assuming Israel wins... ;P

[@joanscoggin7620]

Outstanding analysis -- bang on on every count IMHO!

[@HulluRichie]

Might be just me, but I think the chicken noises sound like "baka" which means "stupid" in Japanese... She's already got a Japan-inspired look (especially in the exclusive rehearsal clip) and she mentions Pikachu, and the song has the lyrics "You stupid boy" so I don't think it's a stretch that the clucking sounds tie even more to the song that you'd first think.. If you apply this little theory of mine where she sings baka (aka, stupid) you'd get: "He's a stupid, stupid, stupid, boy"

[@Milfuelle100]

That’s what she meant by Pikachu?! 😂 I was SO confused.

[@zamfully]

Such a wonderful review. And so intuitive. Thanks.

[@zoltanercei1094]

My God, you truly overthinking this ehhehehehe

[@limitedexperience492]

They say exactly what they do On The Tin ; )

[@nathalieseveile240]

I always thought the looping intro was sort of a representation of getting a dick pic sent to you. The "pring" the sound of a phone recieving a message. "Ouch" the realization that it's a dick pic. "Ha" laughter at how dumb the guy is for sending it. "Mhp" the thoughts about why this is still being done, someone should do something about it. "La" oh well, what can I do.

[@roloqween]

I loooooooove how you overthink everything. I need more

[@idiomisme]

OMG this is perfect!

[@d.fromage4301]

I LOVE IT!! 😀😀

[@sulomor]

Brilliant man ! I didn't saw it this way but you are right indeed, good job

[@stoyanpetrov556]

What I hear in Netta's song is sexism, harted against the opposite sex, lot of poorly hidden f*ck words, childish noises and a lot of bad slang. The song from Czechia this year is also full of sexism, humiliation, sex and bad language. People vote with their hearts open, not with their feet wide open. That's why the most hyped guy last year - Francesco became 6th despite the bettings odds and the zillions of views. Monkeys, chickens, f*ck words won't help anyone to win neither Eurovision nor the Junior Eurovision.

[@kimshaw1866]

Thank you very much from Israel ❤️

[@ExtremeVRPark]

Best, and most professional reaction by far ...

[@eldadelo]

Very interesting analisys, amazing knowledge.

[@ringerxo]

Came for Netta, subscribed for the style and analysis.

[@qilorarv4999]

Wow, an amazing analysis

[@stitchgroover]

One thing I didn't know until last week is that the lyric "Baka Boy" is a slang term in Japan for "idiot". Tying in Japanese slang with the Japanese look to her live performance at Eurovision was clever enough, but then making the lyric "Baka Boy" sound like a chicken sound (" baka baka hmm, baka baka hmm boy") adds another layer to what at first sounds like a silly song.

[@Silveriix]

It got over a lot people's heads, sadly.

[@LulitaInPita]

Huh... that's interesting, what you said about the beginning sounds, and makes a lot of sense now that I think about it! At first I thought those were just weird sounds, but now I think you're right - they're emotions!

[@name_valeria]

Serbia in ESC 2016 had a beautiful song about domestic abuse. It's called " Shelter " by Sanja Vučić.

[@mattspintosmith5285]

Yep. Loved that one too!

[@danieleclementi3310]

I remember that! I voted for Serbia that year, great tune!

[@nikolasmarkovvic5394]

jbga ova je dosta drugacija od Sanje veoma jedinstvena....ova je sve u jednom ..bas talentovana

[@BloodpactORG]

Hungary 2014

[@doron1980]

Genius analysis! thank you!

[@michaelacioffi1291]

Learning from last year's mistakes (about Italy going to win), I'm not hyped that Israel might win the Eurovision. Btw thanks for mentioning my favourite 2 songs (France and Italy) and Malta (where I'm from).

[@pastelcurse8223]

Never stop overthinking Matt!

[@ilanitvalerie]

I’m impressed...yes, with Netta too. She’s so artistic, especially during her live performances. But also, I'm very impressed with how you took her song and beautify organized between the shelves. Please, keep overthinking.

[@avivliba]

loved your video!

[@revitalattoun]

🇮🇱🐔👑❤️🤩🥇🙌🏻😍🇮🇱🐔👑

[@Sarine3]

I like the way how you explain the song. Thank you. From Israel💙

[@Adrian-S.]

Very good. Enjoyed it.

[@zivzan]

you were right!

[@katbullar]

omg! fantastic analysis Bro!

[@valyatodorova5511]

Overthinking It I like the deep analysis you are making on the song. React to bulgarian Eurovision song BONES, please! Thank you!

[@liron-522]

ממש אהבתי איך שהוא משבח אותנו כפרה עליו

[@הדסגרון-צ6ה]

ניתוח ספרותי של אוניברסיטה הבחור הזה

[@RefaelCohen]

Lironii - כפרה עליו. ניבאת ולא ידעת מה ניבאת 😂

[@liron-522]

Refael Cohen חחחחח אני רק עכשיו קולטת את זה

[@RefaelCohen]

סוף סוף? מליונים הצביעו לשיר הזה, העולם לא כזה אטישמי מו שמטפטפים

[@tomerharduf1]

כפרע על הגברבר הזה

[@MuseFPS]

finally someone who gets it right. love from ISRAEL!

[@handumf]

Your review of the song is unique as well...

[@shiramonderer]

I'm for Israel and my #1 sentence to say regarding Netta lately is "shana habaa habaa beyerushalaim habnooia" which means exactly: next year in Jerusalem ;) finally something to be proud of!

[@shiramonderer]

From Israel *

[@JekyViews]

She DID win!

[@yafitbaruch1]

We did it 💙 she did it 💖

[@HanikSheli]

LOVEEEEEEE this! Dayeynu :)

[@mbmckedits]

I am an overthinker and I just subscribed to your channel because it is an awesome review of a song that I really liked.

[@toysupreme4882]

Great work!

[@ronarona9592]

Wow thank you from Israel💖💖

[@zakimoshi8686]

you the first israeli i saw not beg for likes congrats (just btw im israeli to)

[@ronarona9592]

zakimoshi 👏😍👏 זה בגלל שאנחנו הכל מהכל חחח

[@uzi1212]

PURE ART!

[@stefane4581]

Your videos are gold.

[@RefaelCohen]

You were right ❤❤

[@kiterunner999]

Extremely intelligent review !

[@shonen84]

Great analysis! As a Belgian I of course hope my country wins - but if Israel and Netta win, it’ll be very well deserved. She’s a true artist with a winning song.

[@FizzPunk]

LAAAAA Reach Ough!!!! YAAAAAAS Love your take on it!! Perfect!! Happy easter

[@ZONEACE]

Excellent analysis as always.

[@lilalu8470]

Wowww love this video and love Netta!

[@justcommenting6127]

Thank you so much on you support and review! I think you explained the song really well and im happy you are looking at the song more then just funny voices and a chicken

[@violetapereda4809]

Amazing!

[@ezoldaschreiber6966]

I have already said this song is very intelligent and that it takes one to know one. Lots of thoughts have been invested in writing the lyrics, and non of the lyrics words are random

[@allavayner853]

Amazing review! Thank you!

[@yabosid]

Do Sweden! As a swede I give you guys full permission to CRUSH our Micheal Jackson/Justin Bieber-esk monstrosity with all means at your disposal :D

[@renemortensen5028]

Andreas Rosén you forgot Justin...

[@aurelijarosenzweig8713]

LOL

[@kennet7837]

You could have left out Michael Jackson's name. He doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Justin Bieber.

[@Vellmond]

tbh I like it more than "I can't go on"... and I don't know why but I neither see a resemblance to Micheal Jackson, nor do I listen to Bieber so that's definitely not the reason. Different people - different tastes, I suppose...

[@kennet7837]

I way prefer "I Can't Go On", it's more memorable, but I generally don't like those types of pop songs. They are pretty standard and tends to sound overproduced. Michael Jackson's pop music is actually good and there is much more musical variation between his songs + his vocal style is unmatched!

[@furman01]

Matthew!! Loved your insight!!!!!

[@memshin3]

I truly enjoyed your analysis.

[@turu169]

Excellent my friend

[@chenchen3030]

Ha ha ha!!! I love your (way) overthinking and over analizing this song.... Its a realy good one and hopefuly we will see you all in Tel Aviv next year...

[@Anahanabi]

Yayyyyy

[@NezumiAthens]

WOW THIS VIDEO SNAPPED WITH THE WHOLE INTRO ANALYSIS I LIVE

[@itaydanziger3261]

אני ישראלי im from israel

[@brobb00]

The Dayenu thing was the perfect cherry on top for this video. Kol hakavod!

[@rubikasuto]

Loved your video, Netta to win

[@manantial773]

Great review! This song should win!

[@a5900705]

I loved the review! A huge love from Israel

[@LightShadow]

Great analysis video ! I have a different understanding of the initial part of the song ( those gibberish sounds) and that would be of a person (or animal) that is trying to find its proper voice/identity. so she is trying one and is not happy with it and tries a couple more until she got it.

[@h3llpro]

You really did a good job overthinking it!

[@Siehna]

Maybe the most interesting analysis I've seen so far. Not necessarily agreeing to all your points but thanks.
