Idan Amedi Surprises “The Voice” Judges
We begin today with a brand new song by Israeli singer and “Fauda” star, Idan Amedi.
Idan’s new song is nice and all, but the reason we bring it up is because Idan Amedi made a surprise appearance on Israel’s version of “The Voice” the other day. Judge Yuval Dayan, a good friend of his, was especially happy to see him.
Idan spent a few more minutes on the show, performing a pretty duet with Yuval Dayan.
Nikos Vertis Performs With Itay Levy in Tel Aviv
Greek singer Nikos Vertis is, by far, one of the biggest names in Greece, and he’s also spent quite a bit of time in Israel. He’s performed with Sarit Hadad, Shlomi Shabbat, and Eyal Golan, among others, and now he’s coming back to the Holy Land for a joint concert with Israeli singer Itay Levy. “Erev Tov Im Guy Pines” reported on the difficulties of teaching a Greek singer to sing in Hebrew.
The two will sing Itay’s hit “Kirot” as part of Nikos’s upcoming concert in Tel Aviv.
The world’s best Lior Narkis impersonator
Lior Narkis is coming to Caesarea on August 15th, and Lior expects the show to sell out fast. If you’re the type who often waits to the last minute like me, Lior released a funny new video to show just how far people would go to get tickets once the show sells out.
Don’t let that be you. And in other Lior Narkis news, Erev Tov Im Guy Pines recently found the world’s best Lior Narkis impersonator.
His name is Amir Azrieli, a butcher from Teverya, and I’ll bet he could probably fool Lior Narkis himself.
