its VERY difficult to write songs today that do not remind you of other songs..and it is very possible Shakira was and is listening to Ofras songs..Afterall she is half Libaneese. Its often people that are mixed blood, that do GREAT things, they combine the best of both cultures. PEACE AND LOVE and ALWAYS MUSIC!
Well think about it, look at their patterns; -Slow intro with a few notes -Beat kicks in with exotic instrument playing -Verse melody part 1 -Verse melody part 2 -Bridge -Chorus with repeating melody ("Whenever, Wherever... Thereover, hereunder", "Show me... Tell me") -Instrumental break staying within range of a few notes -Heavy drums -Repeat the above That can apply to both songs.
Lovely video - I wish the TV companies would pull out Ofra's performances and publish them on DVD. Can any body tell me about her backing singers ? I suspect that two of them are her nieces Ravit & Ofira Yosefi - if so, perhaps this was a family invitation performance.
Anyone else notice how this song has a similar pattern to Shakira's Whenever, Wherever? W,W came after Show Me, and I'm not saying Shakira copied, I just find it kind of cool.
Ofra will never be forgotten. Her voice was pure gold. God blessed her with so much talent.
it's a great pity that she left us... she was brilliant...
Ofra Haza still kicks Shakira's butt even though she's been gone ten years, may she rest in peace. :)
What a great loss to our world.
Now she is back in heaven.

Love this song.
this whole cd is absolutely amazing,definetely my all time favourite:can't get enough of it
She left you lot of songs and interviews
to be connected with her as you wish.
She is in good place.
If there is a heavenly after-life, she certainly deserves to be there. Ofra Haza left a world that is hurting badly, for the presence of angels.
Show Me , j'adore+++++++++++++++++
regularly jazz..very good.greetings from prague :)

Wonderful voices from God. Wish the sound quality would be better.
Is this video available in higher resolution and mp3 sound? - Somebody?
I love this song and Ofra is gorgeous, as usual .

@deanfromromania The two are equal in my eye. I love them each a ton (and I've even combined them musically, check my profile). :)
You right about that, the voice quality
in this recording is poor.. I believe
you will find this song in better quality.
anyone can explain me this song meanings?
Nobody are beautiful inside and outside like the Israeli women ;D
@jesusoverisrael:
yes as an atheist i know about this, but if she was murded by the knesset it will probably never be proven....
peace to all
