Noam Bettan said he was proud to have brought joy to his country after his performance at the Eurovision Song Contest, despite facing boos and hostile shouts from parts of the audience. He described feeling overwhelmed at moments but said he focused on the music, the support from fans, and the energy on stage.
Bettan acknowledged that it is impossible to fully prepare for negative reactions, including shouts of 'genocide' during the show. While he said the first seconds of hearing boos were challenging, he understood the anger was not directed at him personally but at what he represents.
He emphasized that the support he received quickly outweighed the hostility. According to Bettan, the love and encouragement from supporters in the arena helped steady him and allowed him to continue performing with confidence. He also praised the dancers who joined him on stage, calling them phenomenal and crediting them as an important part of the experience.
