After last
year and the big success of Nadav Guedj with the song Golden Boy
(finished 9th place) , Israel stayed with the format of "Rising Star To
Eurovision " to choose an act for the Eurovision song contest 2016.
After a long
season , 4 candidates for the win reached the final :Hovi Star ,
Nofar Salman , Ella Daniel and Gil Hadash .
The national
final was alright , pretty long and personally I think the format didn't work
as well as last year.
The format
worked as a battles format : a battle to determine who will compete in the
superfinal and another one to determine who is the winner.
First battle
was Hovi aganist Ella - Hovi won and qualified to the superfinal.
 |
| Hovi Star will represent Israel in Stockholm this year. |
Second
battle was Gil aganist Nofar - Nofar won and qualified to the superfinal.
This year
the superfinal cotained 3 candidates , so the jury had to pick between
Ella and Gil and they picked Ella to continue to the superfinal .
So after a
pretty long show the winner was Hovi star with his song "Made of Stars
".Hovi is an Israeli singer , who has participated before in the
"Rising Star" but didn't make it through the final .
My thoughts and Rating of the songs , by their ranking :
1st -
Hovi Star - "Made Of Stars" - Hovi has powerful voice skills
and the staging looked very nice although the song isn't the best. 6\10
2nd- Nofar
Salman - "Made Of Stars"( Hovi and Nofar shared the same song with
different musical arrangement ) - very special voice and powerful
vocals , I liked this one better , it was more oriental and unique. 8\10
3rd - Ella
Daniel - "Somebody Out There" - Very Catchy song and it would fit to
Eurovision more the Hovi's song , although I wasn't impressed from the vocals
in that performance but by following the season I can tell she is an amazing
singer ! 7\10
4th -Gil
Hadash - "Follow The Sun"- She didn't got to sing it since she didn't
qualifie the superfinal but anyway my thoughts on the song : the song has a
pretty unique style although not sure it would fit to Eurovision . 5/10
