Orna Datz אורנה דץ

Eurovision 1991 went down in history due to the tied score between Sweden and France, so that the winner had to be decided by tiebreaker. What many tend to forget is that Israel with the song "Kan" was also in the mix, and in fact held the lead for much of the voting process. Since this happens to be Emil's personal favorite of all Eurovision songs ever he has been nagging her for more than a year, and Emil finally gets to talk to Orna Datz, the female half of the married duo who sang it. We learn that Orna and Moshe actually performed independently as solo artists until they were convinced to form a duo for the Israeli national final in 1987, but after that the audience refused to let them not be a duo again and they were hugely successful. We learn about the rumors about all the different artists who are said to have been offered "Kan" and we get to listen to the original demo with the composer Uzi Hitman, as well as about how Kobi Oshrat and any others contributed to making the song what it finally became. Orna reveals that it felt like the week in Rome took five years off her life, and we get to hear about "Amen" by Liora, who previously in this podcast claimed that Duo Datz changed their mind and wanted the song back. Is this true? And what is Orna's relation to her ex-husband today?Legend: Orna DatzSong: Kan כאן (Israel 1991)Host: Emil LöfströmContact: [email protected] Facebookhttp//www.eurovisionlegends.se Hosted on Acast.
