Personally I�ve never been such a fan of Yossi, while MBD is the premier jewish talent. I never really connected to Yossi�s songs, while MBD really rocks my neshoma. Not even a close call by me.
Additionally, I once met Yossi�s grandson (really interesting guy. Like, really, really, interesting.), and he told me that while his grandfather has worked extensively with MBD, Yossi himself wouldn�t compare himself to the great MBD, saying quote �I couldn�t hold a solitary candle to such an insanely talented artist�. Do with that what you will.
