First, at this stage it goes by public vote, not how good you are. That’s for the next stage (could be interesting if they reversed that).

Second, maybe it goes to show sometimes putting too much into a video can take away because people aren’t sure how much is natural and how much studio tricks. Notice that most of these videos are pretty simple and low budget.

go mordyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! uuuuuuuuuuuuu rock!!!!!!

Wheres the other extremely talented young men??????
February 19, 2012 7:16 pm

Wheres shvach tamir and yossi stern the musical genious?
Those guys can make music. Even though im a contestant in the top 16, those guys deserve the top of the line for the amount of work and toil and monety that was put into their videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO MORDY!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve heard Choni sing before live and vocally he has much more to deliver then this video. He definitely has heavy talent as u can see from the composition he did under quick circumstances. Good luck to you all!

My top 5 contestants in no particular order:

Yakkov klien
Choni G
Mordy Kurtz
Eytan Arabov
Dovi Minkowitz

Only one will win the competition – but you must continue producing music even if you dont get the ‘jewish star’ title!!

Hey...Whats Going On.....................
February 18, 2012 3:03 pm

Only 1 Jewish Singer from Eretz Yisroel,
Moshe Biton;
A Jewish Star should be more international, instead of only Brooklyn boys.

lack of talent
February 18, 2012 2:42 pm

what happened to yossi stern or hevach tamir or mendel morgenstein?, singer/songwriters – the true takents of thi competition. yet again you steer away from anythink that isnt the next avrohom fried, and leave the real talent out. all these finalist have not shown any singing or musical artitic skills, anyone can sing other peoples song etc.

a big let down

GO EYTANNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when you were in Yeshiva in ISRAEL ,Torah Ohr you were asked to daven shabbes Rosh Jodesh shajris , i recall the beutifull Halel,and i asked who is the jazan? they told me its a Mexican boy , i think it was the most beutifull Halel ive heard ,im not suprised to see you here today, i will be at the concert.
Good Luck

Beautiful video

G'luck to all of you but..
February 17, 2012 8:03 am

I vote Yehoshua Solomon for entertainment value – he seems almost the only guy who seems really happy about life! (and cant decide between Dovi M and Moshe for great voices!)

Wow
February 17, 2012 7:36 am

Wow some of those choices really surprised me. The only one that didn’t was Dovi Minkowitz. Fantastic voice. Hope he wins.

about MOSHE BITON, Tiberias, Israel...............
February 17, 2012 6:24 am

He did not have money to record, even in a cheap studio. He sung this in a friends tiny room with an old sheet for a background. Recorded on a simple “point & shoot” digital camera that produced alot of echos. Everyone was yelling at him: “Hurry up Moshe and finish…We want to go home”. Thank G-d, his friend, the organ player, did a great job. (pray we can take this friend to the finals). And finally…. G-d Bless A Jewish Star for letting us compete with all these beautiful Jews ! You spread so much joy. MOSHE BITON &… Read more »

February 17, 2012 12:58 am

Jewish music will always sound the same thanks in part to people who are too closed minded and only want generic sounding junk. apart from Choni G and Mordy Kurtz and Dovber MInk. the rest are just singing stuff we have already heard and all they seem to be able to do is SING, i know this is a singing competition but what about Shevach Tamir??? Great song amazing message and all ORIGINAL unlike the generic jewish sound we can expect to see at the event and unless one of the Singer/Songwriter guys win all we will get out of… Read more »
