/0 Comments/in , /by

Today is the fourth day of rehearsals, the day when the countries participating in the First Semi Final will take over the stage for their second rehearsal at M&S Bank Arena, in Liverpool!

Next up on stage for their second rehearsal is Israel and Noa Kirel with the song “Unicorn“.

Who is Noa Kirel?

Noa Kirel is an Israeli singer,dancer and actress,with various musical accolades. She was the winner of the MTV Europe Music Awards for the best Israeli act between 2017 and 2022 and is one of the most critically acclaimed performers in the Israeli pop scene. Some notable milestones in her 7-year career include becoming a judge in Israel’s Got Talent in 2018 (and becoming,thus,the youngest judge ever at the age of 17), signing a contract with American record company Atlantic Records and opening Miss Universe 2021 with her song “Bad Little Thing”.

The Rehearsal

Watching Noa Kirel on the big screen is a totally different experience from in the arena.

Noa starts her performance in a huge box lit with LEDs, with some nice rotating camerawork and lots of strobe lighting. She’s supported by five backing dancers, all in matching black and pink wet-look costumes, and the whole routine is pop-video polished from start to finish.

‘I’ve got the power of a unicorn,’ sings Noa, and you’ll be delighted to hear we took the opportunity to research what specific powers unicorns have. It turns out their horns have healing properties, so we’ll be calling on Noa for all our backstage first aid needs.

The camerawork is amazing, and every one of her facial expressions is entirely fierce.

Eurovision 2023: The odds after the first rehearsals of the countries of the first semifinal!

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The first rehearsals for the countries of the first semifinal have been completed and, as it is expected, the odds have been refreshed for those ones. It is the second year in a row that the press center has been closed so there is no more information about the perfomances than the TikTok videos that Eurovision account have published. As a result, there are no big chances in the first days compared to last years.

1st Semi Final: The race of qualification

Most countries have been stabled in their position, except Switzerland who has overpassed Croatia and is now 7th in the betting odds to qualify for the Grand Final. Remo Forrer odds are between 1.33 and 1.4 compared to Let 3 who are between 1.36-1.55. It is also crusial to mention that Portugal has grown the gap with the Netherlands and, despite being 10th, has more chances to qualify compared to “Burning Daylight“. Also, Latvia, Malta, Ireland and Azerbaijan seem to loose ground and that it will be difficult for them to qualify to the Grand Final of Eurovision 2023.

1st Semi Final: The Winner

For the first time since 2007, televoting will decide 100% the result of the semi final, which means that the ten countries who will qualify and also the winner of the semi will be determined only by the viewers. Finland is ahead of this race and it is believed that “Cha cha cha” will win the televoting of the semifinal. The dynamic stage presentance, catchy chorus and also the fact that Kaarija is closing the show are making the odds to believe that he will overtook Loreen and “Tattoo“, the big favourite of this year’s competition. Honorouble mention to Israel and Noa Kirel, who has decreased the difference with Norway and is coming for the third place after the great reviews of her first rehearsal. Could “Unicorn” be the dark horse of the semifinal?

The Big Final

All “blue” for Finland and Israel, who are probably the gainers of the first rehearsals, in the betting odds. Kaarija has decreased his difference with Loreen and is now aiming for the first place. Also, Israel has overtook Austria and is now in the 7th place of the betting odds after her dance break. However, Loreen and “Tattoo” are still on the top of the scoreboard with a “safe” gap from Finland, until now. Sweden has managed to transfer the Melodifestivalen’s staging to Liverpool, despite the fears and difficulties, and did not dissapoint.

/0 Comments/in , /by

It was announced today that Ilanit will announce Israel’s jury score in the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023.

She stated the following:

“I am thrilled to close the cycle of 50 years of Israel’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest with “Ey sham”, with which I represented Israel for the first time in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1973. I wish dear Noa good luck, I have no doubt that she will do well!”

Israel is the fifth country to announce its spokesperson. The other four are:

Greece: Fotis Sergoulopoulos
Cyprus: Loukas Hamatsos
Spain: Ruth Lorenzo
