I'm so ashamed – today a friend told me that she saw a segment about QAL on Guy Pines Entertainment News (it the one that's already had 2 items about them, and it's a hugely popular show) last week! I looked online, and found it from 5 days ago. So here's a very late translation:

In three weeks, Israelis will again fill up the Yarkon Park in Tel Aviv, hoping for an autumn-like weather. Queen and Adam Lambert were an interesting gamble which will probably pay up very well to the organizers. Tens of thousands of tickets are already sold, the expensive 'golden ring' is sold out, seems like the Israelis increased their concert budget this year. We saw Queen not long ago in a concert in Europe. This will be nothing like Sia. Adam Lambert, the American Idol graduate, who replaced the late Freddie Mercury in this Queen tour, is really not the type which will stand in the corner with a wig trying to hide.
In short, if you also want to be there, we have tickets for you tonight. Get into our Facebook page, 'like' us, answer the question, you may win.
• Explanation about the Sia remark: The Sia concert a couple of weeks ago spurred a lot of anger. People complained that it was too short (it was about an hour long); that the music (
not the singing) was all playback (there were no musicians on stage, only dancers); that the golden ring was too expanded, so the folks who bought regular tickets couldn't see anything, and the big screens were of no help, because they only showed video art (somewhat similar to the music videos) and didn't show the stage at all; And that Sia didn't connect with the audience at all, not as much as "good evening Tel Aviv", so they couldn't even tell if it was really her under the wig lol… I wasn't there, so everything I say is from second-hand reports.
People were so bitter, there were talks about suing the organizers. These talks stirred up a joke about the people who bought tickets to the QAL concert, saying they'll sue the organizers when they find out Freddie isn't there.
