Israel selected Kobi Marimi for Tel Aviv through reality show / singing competition HaKokhav HaBa (The Next Star, הַכּוֹכָב הַבָּא). A song will be found for the winner of the competition.

Netta gave Israel their fourth victory, 20 years after their last one and 40 years after their first.
Although we have not forgiven the people at Netta's headquarters for not giving us a cdsingle or any physical release, we clucking love Netta.
