We have another set of results from tonight’s episode of The Next Star in Israel, in which a further 5 artists auditioned for a place in the next stage of the competition.

With 6 artists advancing in yesterday evening’s The Next Star show, tonight saw another 5 artists performing in the hope of qualifying to the next stage of the selection.

Artists were looking to gain the votes of both the audience and the 4-member judging panel, with every performing act needing to receive at least 70% of the vote in order to qualify.

Tonight’s results are in

Five more artists auditioned in tonight’s episode of the Israeli national selection; 3 of whom managed to proceed to the next part of the competition. The artists were as follows:

  • Barak Mizrahi (76%, ‘Yes’ vote from all 4 judges)
  • Mishell (79%, ‘Yes’ vote from 3 judges)
  • Vicky Kleichman (43%*, ‘Yes’ from 1 judge)

*Whilst Vicky Kleichman received under the asking 70% of the ‘Yes’ vote, a new twist in the show saw the 2 hosts, Assi Azar and Rotem Sela, save the artist and therefore advance to the next stage.

Two artists failed to qualify in tonight’s show: King Phoenix and Netanel Sabag.

Vicky Kleichman was the final artist to audition in tonight’s show, originally only receiving 1 ‘Yes’ vote from the judges (Keren Peles). However following calls from the audience, the 2 hosts of the selection decided the save the singer, who has therefore qualified to the next stage.

Catch up on all of tonight’s auditions by checking out the performances via the official selection website.

The Next Star continues next week on Keshet 12 at 20:00 CET (21:00 local time), with further details expected over the coming days.
