The Oriental parts are outstanding and stellar. It’s absolutely different, unique and has SLAYAGE. Don’t be fooled, this song is anything but fast food music: it’s a very clever banger.Ĭinan: Alright, here we go! This song is one of the best original songs created in the past few years. There’s something in “Toy” that everybody can like: whether it is the ethnic Mizrahi sounds, the infectious hook in the chorus or even the Pikachu reference. She packs it with sass, the right amount of craziness and lots of great ideas. “Toy” is not just a bop: it’s a song that’s unique to the artist that Netta Barzilai is. Luis: Netta proves one thing: if you believe in what you’re doing and you do it with conviction, people will react positively to it. It has everything that an entry needs to win the song contest: a unique hook, an instantly recognisable melody, a strong, current message, special vocals and that certain je ne sais quoi needed to steal the spotlight from the other candidates - in this case, that infectious, over-the-top, unapologetic clucking that will always remind us of Eurovision 2018. Werk it, we’re all beautiful creatures.īogdan: I didn’t expect anyone to knock off Madame Monsieur from my number one spot, until the amazing Netta Barzilai unveiled her epic song. A stellar combination that deserves the best staging possible to work in Lisbon. Netta has a unique approach to the song, it has a nice message, it’s very international while maintaining Israeli roots. While I don’t think “Toy” is a clear Eurovision winner, it’s definitely up there.

When Netta won “Rising Star” I felt like Israel with the right song could do really well. Bernardo: Get your chicken carnival outfit out.
