Israel: The results of the 22nd episode | The finalists of HaKokhav Haba!

Yesterday 01/02, the 22nd episode of HaKokhav Haba (special edition), the talent show through which the artist who will raise the flag of Israel at Eurovision 2024 will be announced!

As we have already informed you, 35 artists passed the scope of the auditions, with 14 of them going to the second phase – the battles phase, and they will claim the representation of the country in Eurovision 2024!

In the 22nd episode we watched the four candidates perform one song each and three of them make it to the finals of HaKokhav Haba and one leaves. We remind you that the presenters of HaKokhav Haba are Assi Azar and Rotem Sela who have been in this position since 2014, while the members of the jury are Shiri Maimon, Itay Levy, Assaf Amdorsky, Ran Dankar and Keren Pels with a new addition being Eden Hasson.

Four contestants then appeared in front of an audience and a jury and the player who collected the lowest score, leaves HaKokhav Haba.

Mika Moshe

Mika opened the night with the song ‘Yash Lech Otoch’, her original song with singer Miri Mesika. Mika’s voice is velvety and exciting as usual.

Shay Tamino

Shay Tamino chose to sing the song “What About You” by Pink tonight. Shai is an exciting singer and during her performance the judges realize how difficult the competition will be.

Dor Shimon

Dor chose to perform the song “When You Went Away” by Shiri Maimon. Dor dedicates the song to his friend the late Dvir Fima, an armored officer who fell in the fighting in the Gaza Strip, and to all the soldiers who defend the country.

Eden Golan

Eden performed the song “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera. Eden stands on stage in a white dress with four violinists at her side. All the judges agreed that with this appearance she could go to Eurovision even now.

This year Israel at Eurovision 2023 in Liverpool was represented by the explosive Noa Kirel and the song “Unicorn” who gave the Middle Eastern country the third place in the Grand Final by collecting 362 points.
