Who here remembers Gil? Raise your hand please? Am I the only one? 😮 Gil Ofarim was one of my teenage crushes. That blue-eyed, blond-haired and left-handed (just like me!) German singer/songwriter/musician. He was popular for his collaboration with The Moffatts on the single If You Only Knew. I remember having both his solo albums Here I Am and The Album. He formed a band after that, Zoo Army then Acht, but I’ve kinda lost interest by then and moved on (move on talaga ha?). Anywho. I am not quite sure why I started looking for news about him earlier, but I did anyway and when I saw his recent photos I was like, whoa! 😮
(None of the photos belong to me, got them all off Google image search)
Ooooh, why so hot, Gil? *fans my face* So now I am so totally fangirling on him once more! OMG. And his voice is even better. So much better. Like, real husky and all sorts of smoky and sexy and all. *fans my face again* So it really shouldn’t have been such a surprise for me that he was a contestant at the The Voice of Germany (Season 2) last year. Here is his Blind Audition. Man, does he sound gooood. Check him out:

And here’s his rendition of that iconic Goo Goo Dolls song, Iris:

I ended up searching for and downloading his new songs. Fangirl much, right? 😀
How about you, who is your teenage crush? Is he still crushable today? 😉
smokin’! lol, loved his sweet voice when he was a teen, and I’m lovin’ his husky voice more. Cool rendition of Iris. 🙂 Nakapag-reminisce ka tuloy, hehe :p
Oo nga eh, super fangirl moment kanina pa. 😛
I remember watching Eat Bulaga in Broadway Centrum where he performed live! Is that enough proof that I was a fan? 😛 Grabe, sya na ba talaga yan???
I wasn’t even aware that he was in the country until my
stalkingresearch earlier. 😛 And yes ooooh yes, that is him now! Quite the hunky hottie, right? 😀 At me angle pa na parang si Kurt Cobain. 😉hahaha! my, Gil, you’ve grown – so fineee! 😀
So fiiiiinnnneeee indeed! 😀
OMG… buhay pa si gil ofarim! i’ve been wondering what happened to him as well. shiyeeet, walang volume ang office PC ko. i will listen to his rendition of iris when i get home. shiyeeet, one of my favorite songs ever pa naman.
Natawa naman ako pagbabasa ng comment mo sis. Nice to know I’m not the only one that enthusiastic about him. 😀 So, you got to listen to him? Whatcha think? 😉
I don’t know him, but I listened to the link, he is HOT, hihi!
Indeed sis, HOTNESS! 😉 He went from androgynous boy beauty to unadultered hunky rockstar. 😀
Yes, I remember him and he’s so much better looking now ha. He remind me of Kurt Cobain, just by the looks 🙂
True, lalo na dun sa photo na blue background. Kurt Cobain talaga. 😉 And Nirvana is one of his major musical influences actually. 🙂
i know him too! grabe ang laki ng pinagbago niya. pero gwapo pa rin haha!thanks for sharing this sis 🙂
No prob sis, share the eye candy ‘ika nga. 😉 Grabe, he is so much hotter now, di pa rin ako maka-get over hanggang ngayon. 😛
Well, I’m still fangirling with you! lol I’ve been in love with Gil for like 14 years now and he just keeps getting hotter and hotter and hotter! I’m so jealous of his girlfriend Verena. She sure is lucky because I honestly think he’s the SEXIEST MAN ALIVE. I thought he was 14 years ago and I still think he is. Sure, there are other hot guys out there, but Gil is the ultimate for me and no one quite compares to him. He tries to cover up his beauty with the beard and the nose ring, but I just think he’s gorgeous no matter what he does. I LOVE HIM! hehehe
Yeah, he really is hot! 😀
yep i thought of what happened to him from time to time… but it never occured to me that he’ll be this hot. i always see him as the handsome boy next door.
well yes very much kurt cobain and not to mention that they’re both left handed (glad to be lefty too).
Yey to us lefties and hot rockstar lefties! 😀
