Filipina Wins X Factor In Israel

Rose Fostanes, 47 years old and an old maid. She came to Israel, fleeing the Philippines to realize her dreams. Winning the "X Factor", brought her life like a fairy tale.
She was a care giver, lived in a neighborhood at Tel Aviv, where most migrant workers resides and putting money aside to help their family remained in the Philippines. Rose Fostanes caused a tidal wave of media since her participation in the TV hook "X-Factor Israel" and has become a true national phenomenon.


The applause of the public, her mentor Shiri Maimon, three other judges of the program and the presenter Bar Rafaeli, Rose Fostanes became the first winner of X-Factor Israel Tuesday evening.

But fate decided to lead to other horizons. Fostanes Rose has won the final of the first Israeli edition of the music show "X Factor" with a record 40% audience share. For this 47 year old woman is an unexpected miracle. Israeli media are fighting over.


A WORK VISA IMPROPER

But the fairy-tale might go wrong. Israeli immigration authorities announced that Rose could not embark on a singing career in Israel because her work visa has been issued for the exercise assistant business life. The spokesman for Immigration Service has clarified the situation: "Rose can sing as a hobby, but without making it her profession." This is sad news for the Israeli public seems to solicit Rose Fostanes since the beginning of emission.

Yet it was not a foregone conclusion. Lesbian displayed, not speaking a word of Hebrew and resident in the country for only 6 years, Rose had nevertheless seduced viewers with her powerful voice and her masterful interpretations. On the same compared to Susan Boyle or even the most recent winner of "X Factor UK" Sam Bailey. What will it happen for her in the coming months? Perhaps an international career? While waiting to find out, it lets you listen to her cover of "My Way" by Frank Sinatra, in the final, before Bar Rafaeli proclaims the winner of "X Factor."

Rose is mobbed by fans wherever she goes and says she is proud to represent the other millions of Filipino workers in the world.
After working in Lebanon and Egypt, where she lived poorly and sadly, Rose arrived in Israel there 6 years to work as an assistant caregiver and to send money to her girlfriend remained in the Philippines. She spends her days doing the cleaning for an elderly woman and lives in an old apartment in south Tel Aviv, collocated with seven other people.

Fostanes says she dreams of singing from an early age, but it has always been discriminated against because of her appearance.

From its 1.50 meters which contrast with the size of Bar Rafaeli, Fostanes conquered the public, thanks to its tone and soulful voice hoarse. It wins against two young Israeli competitors who have not yet demerits.
