Israel 2002
Sarit
Hadad has been chosen to represent Israel by a special committee
in the Department of Entertainment of the Israeli Television. Sarit
Hadad is 23 years old and began her career at 15, with her first
album. Her song is called, "Lets light a candle together",
and has alternate lines in English & Hebrew in the version heard
recently on TV in Israel. I'd describe the song as an uptempo ballad
with a traditional Eurovision-style anthemic chorus with a fairly
obvious message of hope and peace.
"Light a candle with me
A thousand candles in the dark
Will open our hearts"
The song is written by Tzvika Pick & Yoav Ginay who wrote the
winning song Diva for Dana International in 1998
Sarit's latest album has sold over 180,000 copies.
Her official site is at http://www.sarit.co.il
but is in Hebrew
