Israeli content creator and host Korin Gideon publicly critiqued the Hebrew language usage in singer Oudia Azoulay's new album "Hashem Ya'azor" on Monday morning. Gideon pointed out several linguistic errors, such as incorrect verb usage in phrases like "you will put on glasses" instead of "you will wear glasses," and offered to provide free language consulting to Azoulay, praising her diction but noting the problematic Hebrew in the album.

In response, Azoulay sent Gideon a creative voice message via WhatsApp, singing a version of her song "Dubai" incorporating the suggested corrections. Gideon shared the exchange with her hundreds of thousands of followers, expressing excitement and saying the message "made her day." She humorously speculated that Azoulay might not reply quickly because "she probably doesn't wake up before 12," but Azoulay responded faster than expected.

The playful back-and-forth continued with Azoulay unfollowing and then refollowing Gideon on social media, which Gideon described as a "powerful comeback." Gideon concluded the interaction by posting a screenshot of Azoulay following her again, tagging the singer and calling her "the love of my life." The exchange highlights a lighthearted interaction between two public figures over language use in Israeli music.
