Netta Barzilai’s Candid Confession: «I Don’t Know If I Have Any Friends Left»

In a heartfelt interview, Netta Barzilai, the Eurovision 2018 champion, revealed the personal challenges she faces while competing on Israel‘s «Dancing with the Stars.» Partnered with Alon Davidovsky, Netta opens up about the toll the intense training schedule has taken on her friendships and social life.

Dancing Under Pressure

Netta and Alon have set high expectations for themselves, aiming to constantly improve with each performance. «With every show, I want to be better than before,» she shares, highlighting their goal to make it to the finals with innovative and explosive performances.

The Strain on Friendships

The rigorous schedule has led to strained personal relationships for Netta. «I don’t feel comfortable declining invitations from my friends anymore. I don’t know if I have any left,» she admits. Friends have stopped inviting her out, knowing she’s either training or needs to rest early.

A Beacon of Strength

Despite the difficulties, Netta views her participation in the show as a chance to inspire others. «If something about me gives strength to others, then ‘fuck it’. We’re in such a dark time; if I can bring light or strength to someone, give them a reason to believe in themselves, that’s why I’m here.»

Embracing the Journey

As they prepare for the live shows, Alon hopes Netta can «take this experience as easily as possible,» while Netta expresses her excitement and gratitude: «I hope we can create magic out of nothing. This is a stage that not many get to be on, and I see it as a privilege and an honour.»
