Israel: Selection of songs for Saturday’s Grand Final to be held tonight!

Two days separate us from the selection of the Israeli representative in Eurovision 2022. X Factor Israel is being completed slowly, with the four finalists having been announced a few days ago.

Inbal Bibi, Michael Ben David, Eli Huli and Sapir Saban will fight to represent Israel on the 66th Eurovision Song Contest this May in Turin.

All of them will perform two songs today, which will be judged by the preferences of the Israeli people and two juries.

The songs

We will listen to eight songs in tonight’s selection of songs for Saturday’s Grand Final. Each artist will perform two songs, with the audience and jury choosing one of the two songs by each finalist.

These songs are:

• Inbal Bibi – ZAZA
• Inbal Bibi – Marionette
• Michael Ben David – Don’t
• Michael Ben David – I.M 
• Eli Huli – Blinded Dreamers
• Eli Huli – Nostalgia
• Sapir Saban – Breaking My Own Walls
• Sapir Saban – Head Up

Format

130 songs were submitted to the committee which has now selected the above eight songs, which will be performed by the final four artists that will compete for the ticket to Italy.

In the first phase, one of the two songs of each finalist will be selected through the voting of the audience and the jury.

The song that will be chosen will be the one with which each participant will claim the representation of Israel for Eurovision 2022. Then, the audience and the jury will jointly choose the artist who will represent the country.

The X Factor final will take place on February 5th.
