Soldiers' Choice

I love reporting these kinds of things...

A survey was conducted among thousands of Israeli soldiers, asking "Who is your favorite Israeli singer or group?"

The winner? Ninette Tayeb (who hasn't even released her first album!).

Coming in second was the lovely and talented Shiri Maimon, and Beit Habubot came in a distant third. Last year's winner, Ivri Lider, came in fourth.

The winner will perform at a gathering of soldiers in Park Hayarkon in Tel Aviv on June 27th. Ninette will be there, in addition to boy band The Gameboys.

Just further evidence of the impact "Kochav Nolad" has had on Israeli culture. Amazing.
