In January 2016, Maimon posted in her Facebook account videos asking her fans to help her decide which song she will be covering in the next three shows of her winter show tour. She let her fan choose between "Chandelier" by Sia, "Hello" by Adele, and "I’m Not The Only One" by Sam Smith. Eventually "Chandelier" was chosen, and Maimon was performing the song in her shows. Maimon released the live version of the song which was recorded in Reading 3 few days later. Her live performance received raved reviews. In July , 2017 , in a The Times of Israel blog post , Pakistan based blogger Sarmad Iqbal called Shiri's music a reason behind his love for Hebrew language. Sarmad stated "One day while I was looking for some new song of Beyonce on You Tube I came across “Ahava Katana” by famous Israeli pop singer Shiri Maimon and that song was even better than the Beyonce song I was looking for and then started my exploration of Israel and also eradication of all the stereotypes I heard about Israel and broadly about Jews (even since I was very young to properly elucidate the odium feed into my mind).Shiri had a mesmerizing voice which soothed me and I had ear orgasms even though the song melodiously sung by Shiri wasn’t in my native language or in a language I can fathom easily but it was in Hebrew and shortly afterwards I also fell in love with Hebrew language."
