Putting random words to a tune is okay, but when a songwriter employs the right poetic devices it can bring the music to a whole different level.

Great admiration of mine written by tears of thankfulness.

December 17, 2010 12:15 am

Great song – I love it and am listening to it over and over. Finally decided that I like it so much not only cuz of the great beat, energy, lyrics, music, etc – which are all there, but also b/c it took me by surprise every step of the way – by pleasant surprise! Most songs you hear nowadays, you can sort of tell what the next line is gonna sound like, cuz they’re all pretty much the same style. This one is not, it’s fresh, it’s different, and it’s GOOD! I especially like the way the line “open… Read more »

December 16, 2010 5:01 pm

Impressive! and Yes, I am also very happy with the fact that he is just being himself and not trying to act like all the non jewish singers who are so inappropriate! very sweet and simple 🙂

I want the other zalmy
December 16, 2010 3:57 pm

Why doesn’t the other zalmy from south africa join A Jewish Star

kudos to him
very nice voice

He'll be there at the end.
December 16, 2010 2:11 pm

Awesome song!

He needs to work on his performance though. The video seemed kinda dry to me, I found it kinda boring to watch. (might just be me. I didnt sleep last night so i don’t have patience for anything right now)
I am listening for the 3rd time though, love the song.

the voice is great. nice style. nice lyrics. but the arrangement is very dissonant. kinda hurts the ears. a cleaner composition would’ve been excellent

nice song.

Very nice. Unique original style, nice voice, cool beat. I like that he’s not trying to be someone else. He’s proud of his own voice and feels what he’s singing. When I see someone like him I really appreciate what this competition is about.
