With a multicolored kimono, clucking sounds and chicken-like dance moves, Israeli singer Netta Barzilai won over audiences with a hit inspired by the #MeToo movement to claim the Eurovision Song Contest.
Now it's going to be ready for the first time AFP in an interview that she loves to pbad on a message of empowerment after overcoming her own self doubts.
Her winning song "Toy" became an anthem for others who, like her, have been made to feel like an outcast.
She has said that her body was marked by teasing over her body and ends of bulimia.
"We're made to feel small in all kinds of situations." "The 25-year-old said Saturday at her publicist's apartment in Israel's economic capital Tel Aviv.
"I want to empower and love, to be empowered and empowered, because it makes us better, it makes us better."
Her upcoming tour, which begins on November 12, includes appearances in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Britain, at the November 17 show at the Salle Wagram in Paris.
Articulate and intense, Barzilai said she applied for a representative of Israel in 2018's Eurovision in Lisbon because she was failing to make ends meet as an experimental musician.
"I knew nothing about Eurovision," she confessed.
Before the contest shook her life, Barzilai said, she and her band would "be paid in beer and basically jam".
"I'd get drunk, sing on the tables, eat french fries off people's plates and sing about them," she recounted.
"I'm trying to get a job in my life, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be singing or singing."
– Unexpected success –
Barzilai's mother pushed to a place in Israel and the United States. Hod Hasharon and her father suggests she learn agronomy and join him in the family business.
In despair, she turned to an Israeli reality singing show, the winner of which would represent the country at Eurovision.
She never expected anything would come out of the local exposure beyond maybe "getting gigs."
But it will eventually be made to take place in Lisbon, where it will be won in the future of the Eurovision 2019, which will take place in Tel Aviv.
Basking in the superman powers, Barzilai can now return to Europe with a directory blending her Eurovision fame and avant-garde roots.
There have been calls for artists to boycott next year's Eurovision in Tel Aviv over Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory, but Barzilai does not think a boycott will solve anything.
"Instead of boycotting we should think how we can help, how to improve the situation," she said.
"Tell me where to sing the world's problems and I'll go."
Unconcerned that the calls to stay away could harm next year's event, she added: "I think it will be very happy."
