The unique lyrics of Netta won hearts and made attendees dance to loudspeakers blaring the lyrics of her famous techno dance tune expressed with chicken-inspired dance moves: “I’m not your toy, you stupid boy.” Which made her an early favourite to win the contest.
Israel’s victory means it will host next year’s finals, expected to take place in Jerusalem. “Thank you so much. I love my country. Next time in Jerusalem,” Barzilai yelled as she held her trophy after her win.
President Reuven Rivlin said on Facebook: “Proud of you, dear Netta. Waiting for everyone next year in Jerusalem!”
Following an energetic electronic dance performance, Barzilai was awarded 529 points, beating favourites Cyprus and Austria into second and third place respectively. Winners were decided through a mix of juries’ and viewers’ votes.
