Tonight: National final in Israel

Tonight, Israel will choose the song that Harel Skaat will sing on the stage in Oslo this May. Four songs will be presented and the winner will go on to the Eurovision Song Contest 2010.

The show

The show is produced by Reshet, one of the two operators of Channel 2, and will start at 20:00 CET (21:00 local time) from the TV studios in Neve Ilan. The host of tonight's show is Ofer Shechter. Harel Skaat will sing four songs and the winning song will be chosen by an expert jury (60%) and televoting (40%).

How to watch?

It is uncertain if tonight's show will be broadcasted through the internet, but you can follow both Reshet's Kdam website and IBA's Eurovision website for more information. (You can listen to the songs on both websites as well).

Channel 2 is available on the Amos Satellite (4W) at 11658V 8520 2/3 (Middle East only, check the map for more information)

Participants (composer/lyricist in brackets):

  1. Le'an (Where to?)
    (Eyal Shachar/Sahar Hagay & Eyal Shachar)
  2. Elayich (Towards you)
    (Ohad Hitman/Noam Horev)
  3. Le'hitkarev (Closer)
    (Nitzan Kaykov/Sahar Hagay)
  4. Milim (Words)
    (Tomer Hadadi/Noam Horev)

Harel's performance with Anne-Marie David last week:



In 2009, Israel was represented by Noa & Mira Awad with the song There must be another way. They qualified to the final from the first semi-final after finishing in the 7th place, but finished in the 16th place in the final.

Is that true about Ukraine?

Unlikely. Their only source for this news is someone called Olexiy and Irene. They have no official or reliable sources and the article doesn't give any reason WHY the song would have to be changed. In fact it says that Lazarovych is welcome to participate in the final so that must mean the his song is by no means disqualified, so why arrange a new national final and at such short notice? It seems Anna German, who works for the president's administration (relevance?) whom they interviewed, cares more about who's going to host the show than the song contest itself. So, no. To me this seems HIGHLY implausible.

Is that true about Ukraine? There's not long left to the deadline, the national final season is almost over, so would they have time to organise a new final?

But I doubt I will fall in love with Anna Bergendahl song that much on the first listening if it was in Swedish lang. I will like it, but not find AMAZING when I heard those lyrics, maybe I will also find some Iraeli song AMAZING with English lyrics! :)

guys u forgot the the melody of the song will be fixed after the song will be chosen ..

Darren

I disagree. The songs would be completely destroyed if performed in English. Only a language mix version would be worse (It seriously harmed both Shiri's and Boaz' songs imo). I'd rather suggest to work on the orchestration instead!

Goodluck for Harel and Israel. Milim or Le'an..both my fav..GO HAREL! :-),,I'm so excitied...no matter which song, everyone can make great result in Oslo, but Milim or Le'an can be in top3! or even win!

I think I will love "Towards you" in English! Maybe other songs will also be better in English and do better in ESC!

Marko

It's 'Towards You', your 2nd favourite. I make no difference between the remaining too. They are equally good imo.
