Another episode of The Next Star aired in Israel last night, in which a further group of artists auditioned for the opportunity to represent the country at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest.
In last night’s audition episode, a further 3 artists auditioned to both the audience and the 4-member jury panel, with hopes of qualifying to the next stage of the national selection.
The eventual winner of The Next Star will become Israel’s next representative at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest, flying to Lisbon in May to compete in one of the 2 semi-finals.
One more artist advances
Whilst 3 artists auditioned in last night’s show, only one artist managed to advance in the competition.
- Michael Dahan (71%, ‘Yes’ vote from 3 judges)
This is the first time this series that only 1 artist has qualified on a night of Israel’s The Next Star. Dahan received a total of 71% of the ‘Yes’ vote in last night’s show, qualifying to the next stage of the show.
Cher Rachmani and M-ya did not qualify to the next stage of the competition.
The audition phase of The Next Star has now come to an end, with the next stage of the selection set to continue next week on Keshet 12 at 20:00 CET (21:00 local time).
