Israel: Lior Narkis making a controversial comeback

Lior Narkis, the singer who represented Israel in the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest, is now enjoying a renewed local success with a new single and a somewhat unique video clip.

Since reaching the 19th place in the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest in Riga, Lior Narkis has mostly been away from the public eye. In the last couple of years, Narkis has made some professional changes, which gave him another breakthrough, among them opening his own production company.

These days Lior Narkis is releasing the new single from his upcoming album, the 12th one in his 15 year long career. The single is called 'Metuka' (Sweetheart). The song is already gaining nice radio airplay figures in Israel, maybe due to its controversial video, which is a parody on mediterranean music videos genere.

As far as Eurovision is concerned, Lior Narkis has already stated, more than once, that taking part in the contest in Latvia was a lifetime experience for him and that he would love to be given another chance in the contest.

I liked Lior in ESC the last time and it's fine by me if he wants to join again.

This song is nice, but I don't see what's controversial in this video until the end of it when that one ho gets a champagne cork in her eye and start bleeding and the ambulance comes for her, lol. That was the best and only good part in the video as the bimbos used is the same pathetic sort of girls you see all the time in rap videos, lol.

The reason I don't like parodies is because they always top everything that was wrong/bad to start with.

Edit:
I made a mistake with "televoting". The voting doesn't show the televoting results - it only shows how Germany has voted (jury+televoting) ;-)

I don't find nothing boring or "zzzz" with that article!
As the posted one about Soraya and her new song after the contest, why not to do it with that singer?
