And as for the preparations of the Israeli representative for the 2021 Eurovision itself, yesterday in fact, was the last day that it was possible to send songs to Eden Alene. At first the deadline was early September, but apparently sent very few songs, decided to extend the date. Today we stand on more than 220 songs sent to Eden Alene, for comparison, Kobi Marimi received 200 songs and Neta 130 songs
Among the writers who did confirm that they sent a song. You can find Dolly & Penn, the pair of writers who wrote their song for Imrei Ziv in 2017.
There is Dana Lapidot, (who competed with Eden a year ago in a program that chose the Eurovision representative), together with Tal Forer, a highly regarded music producer in Israel, who was responsible for the transition sections of the Eurovision Song Contest in Israel, as well as its religious parts.
Another duo who created a song for Eden are, Tzlil Klifi and Yinon Yahel, Tzlil is among the people who created "Rakata" who competed for the place at the last Eurovision, Winon Yahel, is also a respected music producer who has also worked with world great singers like Madonna and Jennifer Lopez. And he is also the man in charge of arranging the song "Golden boy" by Nadav Guedj , and also in arranging the song of Eden "Feker libi".
Another name that apparently wrote a song but did not confirm is "Gal Joe Cohen", another rib from the excellent song Rakata
There were also rumors that there was a song sent by Tzvika Pick, but the singer himself confirmed to the Israeli media that he did not send a song in the end.
And for those who are wondering about Doron Medley, he chose not to send the song of the year to the Eurovision Song Contest, but this time he was included in the committee that will do the final screening of the songs.
I only mention, out of the 220 songs submitted, only 16 of them were selected.
