It has been a turbulent week in the world of Eurovision. No less than four countries presented their participant, one of which also included a song. And as if that was not enough, the EBU also presented the theme art.
Israel
Let’s all start were it started. The 10th of december was the day of the next round in Israel. This was the result:
- Malki Lipsker, 95%
- Raz Levi, 53%
- Dor Shimon, 93%
- Yehuda Saado, 73%
None of them took part before in Kokhav Nolad when it was the national final for Eurovision. However, Yehuda Saado won the contest in 2005, way before it became the Eurovision national final.
The Netherlands
Last Monday, it was announced that the Netherlands will be represented by Joost Klein. Joost is especially known for his international hit “Frieschenjung”. You can read everything about Joost here. The song will be presented in March.
Slovenia
Tuesday was the day of Slovenia. Rumour had it already, but now it was confirmed that Raiven will be the Slovenian representative. Raiven took part in the national selection EMA more than once. Read all about it here.
