Congratulations to Boaz and his family, wonderful singer , amazing voice and a smile to die for ;)

Those stars plenty in Israel. My neighbours sing at the evening time better then the "Newborn Star" does. Ha! Ha! Ha!

But he is what could be described as the 'best' of the lot, which doesn't really say much. Marina can dance - but sing??? No way! And the other one? Forget it! He would never even have been accepted for American Idol!!

really happy he won...but happier because Marina came in 2nd with half his votes.

We enjoyed it immensly. All 3 finalists were terrific. The musicians were absolutely first rate. Last year's winner, Jacko Eisenberg reminded us of his talent as singer and songwriter. We discovered that Marina can dance. This girl is going places! Her second song, a bad choice, caused her to lose. Boaz "looked" a tiny bit nervous with David Broza, but they sounded great together. Boaz' voice is a gift from heaven, and when he smiles...wow! Guitars, Boaz and Broza - it doesn't get much better than that! Boaz' second song was perfect. The best moment was after he won and he sang it to his mom in the wheelchair (she gave birth to Boaz against doctors' advice). It was a fairy tale ending and gave new meaning to "Kochav Nolad."

strange - i have met very few people who watched and even less who cared

Well done to him. I was born and grew up in England, musically influenced by all the great British & American stars. However, Boaz's voice completely knocks me down and gives me goose-bumps all over. He is truly gifted.
