The casting stage of The Next Star, the Israeli national selection, is now over. A total of 45 acts have qualified to the next stage by getting more than 70% of the votes by the crowd and jury. One of them will go on to represent Israel in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest.

In the next stage, each of the participants will go into a “rehearsal room”, where they believe they just rehearse for their next audition. However, the jury will be watching and listening to the rehearsal and decide if a specific act will go through to the next stage or not.

In order to qualify to the next stage, an act must get at least three votes (out of four) from the jury. 15 acts will participate in each show and only 5 will qualify from each show to the next stage. If there are more than 5 acts with at least three votes at the end of the program, the jury will have to decide which acts will not proceed to the next stage.

The 45 acts that will fight for 15 tickets to the next stage are:

  1. Abraham Ratiga
  2. Adir Edri
