Harel Skaat – Who Knew Prince Charming Can Sing?
His irresistible smile and moving voice cannot leave anyone’s heart in dry indifference. It is only natural that Harel Skaat, Israel’s last Eurovision contestant, is still one of the most loved male singers to date. After two successful albums Harel Skaat (30) has established his renowned place in the music industry of Israel. He keeps winning sought after prizes and performing in front of large audiences. Truth is performing is Skaat’s greatest passion and no matter how many shows he will sing in, he will never have enough of it.
Harel Skaat was discovered in the Israeli reality show Kochav Nolad (the Israeli take on American Idol), where he won the dignified second place. Even though he was not the winner of the competition, Skaat has consequently swept a large audience off their feet with his undeniable charisma and beautiful voice. Skaat had no reason to complain: His singles were declared many times as “songs of the year” and he was also voted as “singer of the year” on the leading Israeli radio stations. Just recently Skaat was also chosen to represent Israel in the Eurovision (the European yearly singing contest) where he reached 14th place (out of 25). To those who ask when will his next album come out, he answers that it’s in working process. Meanwhile all we can do is relish on his existing cds: Harel Skaat (2006) and Figures (2009).
Skaat has recently revealed to be a homosexual, even though he still hasn’t found the love of his life. This declaration that granted him the support of his devoted fans. Skaat says that due to his “coming out”, lots of teenagers turn to him with their personal struggles and uncertainties. Skaat is not overwhelmed by the mass of letters he is receiving and always finds the right words to say. His message is usually “there’s nothing wrong with you. Just love yourselves”. An advice we could all adopt with stretched arms.
Listen to Harel’s song “and you” (“Veat”)
Here’s a translation to the song’s chorus:
And you,
Who are you laughing to
When you don’t embrace anymore
I almost recalled you for a moment
I would have been different had I known
That you…
Who are you bringing distance close for
Who are you falling inlove with
Who are you not leaving
If only you had stayed
I would make you happy…
