Israel: Everything That Happened in the Fourteenth Episode of HaKokhav Haba!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Tuesday night, December 11, the fourteenth episode of HaKokhav Haba (special edition), the talent show that will determine the artist who will represent Israel at Eurovision 2025, was broadcast. The show continues with raised expectations and even more contestants vying for a ticket to Basel.

Six auditions were broadcast during the programme, with five more contestants making it through the first audition stage and moving on to the next stage with the support of the judges and the studio audience. And from the fourteen audition episodes, a total of 67 contestants made it through to the next stage – one of them will be the Israeli representative for the Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Basel, Switzerland in May.

The presenters, Assi Azar and Rotem Sela, once again guided the audience, while the jury, consisting of Shiri Maimon, Itay Levy, Assaf Amdorsky, Eden Hasson, Ran Dankar and Keren Peles, continued to evaluate with rigour and impartiality.

From the next episode, the program moves on to the next phase, one step closer to the winner, as the fourteenth episode marked the end of the auditions.

Contestants and Their Performances:

David Abbo (80%)

David, a-28-year-old from Tel Aviv, sang ” Nights and Curses ” (originally by Omar Adam ) in the audition. He has a deep, sweeping and rich voice and obvious stage experience. He managed to convince both the audience and the judges except for Ran, who voted against and so David went through to the next stage with 80%.

Achinoam Moyal (82%)

Achinoam, a 16-year-old girl from Jerusalem, performed “Hey Tom” (originally by Diana Golby). Despite her young age, her voice has a lot of depth, colour and drama. Assaf voted negatively, commenting on the contrast between her age and the depth of her voice as being out of place, and so Achinoam went through to the next stage with 82%.

Liel Eldadi (74%)

Lial, a 29-year-old from Jerusalem, appeared on stage with the song ” Words I would only say to you ” (originally by Yam Rafaeli). Through her soft voice she showed impressive vocal range, although she struggled a bit in stage presence. Assaf and Shiri voted against her effort, but she managed to pass with 74%.

Daniel Malhi (78%)

Daniel, a 35-year-old, is originally from Tel Aviv. His voice was quite interesting and managed to move and touch the audience. He made it to the next round with 78%, as he was outvoted by Itay.

Avichai Ohana (91%)

Avihai, a 21-year-old, chose to sing in the audition the song “כתבתי מילים” (originally by Par Tessi ). He impressed with his skills and managed to move the judges, who all voted in his favour. As a result, he went through to the next stage with 91%.

HaKokhav Haba continues and now moves on to the next phase of the competition. Through HaKokhav HaBa, Israel managed to qualify for the final of our beloved contest every year from 2015 to 2020, and in 2018 Netta was also the winner of Eurovision with the song “Toy“.

Last year’s HaKokhav Haba winner and by extension the country’s representative at Eurovision 2024 was Eden Golan. Eden Golan with her song “Hurricane”, finished in fifth place in the final ranking.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Monday evening, December 10th, the thirteenth episode of HaKokhav Haba (special edition) aired. This talent show will determine the artist who will represent Israel at Eurovision 2025. The show continues to raise expectations as more contestants compete for the golden ticket to Basel.

Six auditions were broadcast during the programme, with five more contestants making it through the first audition stage and moving on to the next stage with the support of the judges and the studio audience. Hosts Assi Azar and Rotem Sela guided the audience through the show, while the judges—Shiri Maimon, Itay Levy, Assaf Amdorsky, Eden Hasson, Ran Dankar, and Keren Peles—evaluated performances with strict professionalism and fairness.

In all thirteen episodes so far, 62 contestants have already progressed to the next stage – one of them may be the Israeli representative for Eurovision, which will be held in May in Basel.

Contestants and Their Performances:

Ilai Avidani (85%)

Ilai, a 22-years-old from Jerusalem, chose to sing ” Amsterdam ” (originally by Hanan Ben Ari) at the audition. Iliai had a clear voice and his years of experience on stages is evident, but Assaf Amdorsky, mentioned that he was not attracted by the stage presence, something very important for Eurovision. Despite Assaf Amdorsky’s disagreement, the rest of the judges supported him, and he qualified with 85%.

Sial Zaytoona (76%)

Sial, a 16-year-old from Jaffa, sang ” Stone Cold ” (originally by Demi Lovato ). The performance was somewhat inaccurate, especially on some of the lower notes, however the singer managed to control her voice well and move the crowd with the message of the song. Out of the judges, only Assaf voted against her effort and thus she scored 76% and qualified for the next stage.

Jordan Azoulay (71%)

Jordan, 31 years old from Parade, performed the song ” Where were you? ” With an impressive voice, he managed to wow the audience and the judges except Ran, who voted him down and so he went through to the next stage with 71%.

Ohav Givatti (74%)

Ohav, a 29-year-old, originally from the Jezreel Valley, performed an original song entitled “They are talking about me” from his latest album. He came on stage with great confidence and a presence that cannot be ignored. Only Ran voted against his effort, but he managed to get through to the next stage with 74%.

Corinne Gamliel (93%)

Corinne is 20 years old, from Kiryat Ekron, and she managed to impress and emotionally charge both the audience and the judges, who all voted in her favour and brought her through to the next stage with 93%.

HaKokhav Haba continues with more auditions in the next episode. This show has been Israel’s pathway to Eurovision success, securing a place in the grand final every year from 2015 to 2020. Notably, in 2018, Netta won Eurovision with her song “Toy.”

/0 Comments/in , /by

The remaining five broadcasters from France, Germany, Italy, Germany, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom qualify for the Grand Final along with Switzerland, which will host the competition.

Each participating broadcaster will select the competing song and artist in the coming months according to the rules of the competition. All songs must be submitted by mid-March 2025.

The complete participants’ list

Eurovision 2025 will see a small increase in participants. A total of 38 countries will compete in what promises to be another exciting edition of Europe’s most-watched music competition.The following countries have confirmed their participation for Eurovision 2025:

  • Albania – RTSH
  • Australia – SBS
  • Armenia – AMPTV
  • Austria – ORF

  • Estonia – ERR
  • Finland – YLE
  • France – FT
  • Georgia – GPB
  • Germany – ARD/NDR
  • Greece – ERT
  • Iceland – RÚV
  • Ireland – RTÉ
  • Israel – IPBC/Kan
  • Italy – RAI
  • Latvia – LTV
  • Lithuania – LRT
  • Luxembourg – RTL
  • Malta – PBS
  • Moldova – TRM

  • San Marino – SMRTV
  • Serbia – RTS
  • Slovenia – RTVSLO
  • Spain – TVE
  • Sweden – SVT
  • Switzerland – SRG / SSR
  • Ukraine – UA
  • United Kingdom – BBC

Notable Returns

One of the most notable events is the return of Montenegro to the competition. After two years of absence, Montenegro returns to Eurovision with a sense of optimism. The country opted for a national selection process, Montesong 2024, to choose its entry. The winner, ΝinaŽižić, has been chosen to represent Montenegro with the song “Dobrodošli”.

Meanwhile, The Netherlands have also confirmed their participation in 2025. Earlier, the country had made waves by hinting at a possible withdrawal from the competition. However, following reassurances regarding participant safety and the appointment of Martin Green as the competition’s executive producer, AVROTROS, the Dutch broadcaster, has reversed its decision. Despite this, Joost Klein, who was disqualified just before the Grand Final in Malmö, has declined the opportunity to perform at Eurovision again. Furthermore, the Dutch act for Eurovision 2025 will be chosen internally by AVROTROS.

Countries that remain off the contest

North Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Romania will be sitting out of Eurovision 2025, citing financial reasons as the cause for their absence.

Eurovision is a significant financial commitment for many countries, and the rising costs of participation, including the production of national selections, are undoubtedly a factor in these decisions. It remains to be seen whether these countries will return for future editions of the contest.

The 69th Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Basel, Switzerland, following Nemo’s victory in Malmö at Eurovision 2024. The competition is set to take place on May 13-17, 2025, with the Grand Final scheduled for the final night.

Eurovision 2025: Stricter rules for artists and mandatory political neutrality like the Olympics

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel is set to introduce an innovative commitment to fair play, inspired by the Olympic Games. Following the controversies and protests that overshadowed the contest in Malmö, Bakel Walden, chairman of the contest’s supervisory board, announced the new rules in a statement to the German Press Agency.

Fair Play and the Olympic Model

Participants in Eurovision 2025 will need to follow a code of conduct similar to the Olympic Oath taken by athletes. This commitment aims to foster an atmosphere of respect and neutrality, ensuring the contest remains a space free from political or personal agendas.

“Negative behavior will not be tolerated,” Walden stated. “Violations will lead to warnings or even access restrictions. There are areas where freedom of expression has limits, especially when it affects others.” He emphasized that, just like the Olympics, neutrality is essential for the Eurovision’s success.

Addressing the 2024 Protests

The push for stricter rules emerged after the tumultuous contest in Malmö, where the atmosphere was significantly affected by anti-Israel protests. Beyond the demonstrations, incidents of hostility and offensive remarks toward the Israeli performer created a divisive climate.

Walden expressed concern that if participants and fans continue to openly express opposing beliefs, the cohesion of the contest could be jeopardized. “If this trend continues, Eurovision simply won’t work anymore in three to five years,” he warned.

A Vision of Unity

The new measures aim to preserve Eurovision’s legacy as a celebration of diversity and unity. Participants will be required to commit to a fair and safe environment, respecting the inclusive spirit of the event and ensuring it remains a platform for music and culture free from divisive actions or hate speech.

With Basel hosting Eurovision 2025, these regulations represent a significant step toward reinforcing respect and neutrality at one of Europe’s most beloved cultural institutions. Fans and participants hope that this approach will restore harmony to the contest and safeguard its tradition as a unifying cultural celebration.

Conclusion

Practically, all of the above means that the EBU is determined not to allow incidents in Basel that could inflame tensions, whether caused by statements or actions from artists, accredited journalists, or delegation members. Political neutrality will be mandatory for everyone accessing the contest venues. As mentioned earlier this summer, the EBU’s model will follow the environment seen at the Paris Olympics, where athletes, stakeholders, and spectators alike demonstrated respect for all sides. These international events aim to bring people closer, not resolve global issues.

The Grand Final will take place at  Žalgiris Arena in Kaunas. Unlike the earlier stages, where jury opinions will play a role, the Grand Final winner will be determined solely by public televoting, ensuring that the Lithuanian public has the final say in their Eurovision representative.

Artist Withdrawal Deadline

Artists have until December 20th to withdraw their participation. After this date, the lineup will be considered final.

Last year, Lithuania was represented by Silvester Belt with his track “Luktelk”  finishing 14th in the Eurovision 2024 Grand Final with 90 points.

Will Lithuania’s next representative build on this success?
