Following on from last night’s supermoon, the night sky has been trending. And Israel’s Shir & Tim rode that wave during their first rehearsal. Tim starts off on his own, growing in confidence with each passing note. A minute later, Shir enters the stage gracefully and elegantly with her verse before the duo blend together.

I hope Tim doesn’t wear that shirt, it’s awfull. The background is great tho.
That girl should at least try to smile….
Otherwise I liked the performence.
