As usual, international artists are paying very little attention to that annoying BS background noise; instead, socres of performances are swarming to Israel. Yesterday, a special concert was played out by British singer James Blunt, who visited Israel for the first (but not last) time. See
this Jpost report:
British Crooner James Blunt had his thousands of adoring fans alternately crying, laughing and dancing at Tel Aviv's Nokia Arena Saturday night.
In his first-ever concert in Israel, the 40-year-old tousled-hair singer played his best hits and some lesser-known works to a cheerful crowd.
"Shalom Tel Aviv!" he shouted out to the appreciative throngs, following it up with "ma nishma?"
"It's a thrill to be in such a special country that I've heard so much about from so many friends," he said.
