Not just a candle in the windBy Viva Press
September 29, 2003
{i've been trying to date that video for a couple a months now. bless the internet.}
14-year-old Israeli singer Liel Kolet shares a stage with former U.S. president Bill Clinton while singing a rendition of "Imagine" at the 80th birthday party of Shimon Peres in Tel Aviv.

Fourteen-year old Liel Kolet could easily be mistaken for your average Israeli teenager. She sports fashionable oversized sneakers and low-rider cargo pants, she speaks a mile a minute, she likes best to hang with her friends, and she can easily rattle off all the latest videos on MTV.

But the ninth-grader - who hails from a kibbutz in the north of the country - sets herself apart from the pack when she opens her mouth and sings. The owner of a truly amazing voice, Kolet has turned into an overnight sensation throughout Europe.
Since her professional debut just two years ago, she has performed at massive venues alongside singers Elton John and U2's Bono and entertained world leaders.

Last week, in an impressive display of self-confidence, she spontaneously invited former U.S. president Bill Clinton to sing a duet with her at the gala 80th birthday party for Shimon Peres in Tel Aviv.

As she began to sing John Lennon's "Imagine" with an 80 member youth choir at Peres's party, she approached Clinton and said, "I heard that you like to sing, and I'd like to invite you to join us." Clinton accepted the invitation and joined in on the chorus.

"I wasn't afraid for a minute that he would refuse," Kolet said afterward.

the video is just a little less than 2 1/2 years old. see post clinton at davos, and we know where prime minister ariel sharon is now.
