After 23 years: Ninet Tayeb's touching gesture to Shiri Maimon
Moments before the grand finale of Dancing with the Stars, the contestants are preparing for a special challenge. For singer Shiri Maimon, the performance carries extra meaning, and a supportive message from Ninet Tayeb has sparked a wave of positive reactions.
The dance show from Keshet 12, "Dancing with the Stars," is in its final stretch, and soon we will know which star will claim the title of Israel's new dance champion.
Singer Shiri Maimon has stood out from the beginning as one of the season's most promising stars. Now, as part of the final five, she is set to take the stage tonight for a nostalgic performance to the sounds of "HaSheket SheNish'ar" (The Silence That Remains) — the song with which she competed in the 2005 Eurovision.
In honor of the event, Maimon uploaded a clip to her Instagram page reflecting on her journey:
"I really dreamed of being in Eurovision since I was a child. It is a song that was truly a game-changer for me, even before I released my album. Dancing to it now is something special."
Ninet Tayeb could not help but be moved by the performance. As recalled, the two participated together in the first season of "Kochav Nolad" (A Star is Born) in 2003, where Ninet took first place and Shiri finished second.
"You are stunning, you are wow. You always were and always will be," Ninet wrote in response.
Devoted followers were quick to praise this friendly gesture. "Wow, this empowering female friendship heals the inner child in me who never believed in the beef created by the media," one fan wrote. "Only a great woman like you can support someone she competed against in such a significant competition," another added.
