A bit of a surprise but happy for Yuval Raphael. Just hope the song is different this time around however I won't complain with everything that woman has already been through.

Oh, she was a survivor of that concert thing so....pity vote win?

She can sing, though.
I saw her video pulling off "Anyone" by Demi Lovato and it's a very difficult song to sing. She sang it beautifully.

^^ Music exists to convey emotions and therefore, we never know if the fact she had survived the 7th October massacre (you don't have to call it "concert thing") was the deciding factor but the top three consisted of:
- a gimmick (a Puppet with a band)
- a Christian Arab Israeli (partly singing in Arab throughout the competition)
- a massacre survivor

So dunno, if anyone else had won tonight, people vote claim the gimmick/pity/propaganda card anyway.

Like I'd remember the exact date. I only remember it was somewhere in October, cause before the market close on Friday market makers bought puts for Monday expiry. :)

I am swimming against the stream, but I am not too much into her voice. But I will wait for the song and then decide.

Dana International suggested last week Yuval and Valerie go as a duet similar to :il: 2009. It does not look like that will happen.

That would be an insane combo.

The song for Yuval has been selected. Keren Peles is once again the songwriter looking for another Top 5. She's one of the better songwriters especially for ballads so I'm fine with that.

Unanimously chosen by the committee. Includes verses from the Hebrew Biblical poem "Song of Songs".

That would be an excellent move for Israelis International image especially in Europe, so of course they won't do it.

I quite certain using lyrics from old texts is against eurovision rules. Time for another lyric rewrite.

Just posting what's being reported. :no: Gåte had to change their lyrics using ancient texts/scripts so I'm assuming this would be the same. :ua: Go_A another example. It might just be the part for two lines of Hebrew like Hurricane. That's what I'm guessing.
