🇮🇱 Israel’s got the power…

…of a unicorn 🦄. We love an emoji-friendly song, almost as much as we love a light box, a troupe of hot dancers, and a super-polished pop routine. 

Do you wanna see me dance? asks Noa (three times). Of course we do – it’s our first of three solo female dance breaks at Eurovision this year, and Noa is setting a VERY high bar. The crowd at the Liverpool Arena is going WILD for this. Phenomen-al.
