    Noa is beautiful and a Great Singer&Dancer
    I listened to the song and read the lyrics. I don't understand how it is about women and what a unicorn has to do with anything since unicorns are never seen as strong, brave or anything like it; in fact, they are shown as docile. I also wish that the song for Israel would have more Hebrew and something that makes it seem Israeli which it doesn't, it just sounds like another American song. I hoping Noa does well. Nobody can ever tell how Eurovision will go!
