Tonight the Second Chance heat was aired to select the Israeli entry for the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö.

This was the fourth of five programmes in this, the biggest selection process by IBA, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, in their Eurovision history.

We watched the three contestants who achieved fourth place in their respective heats battle it out for that precious tenth position in the National Final.

  • Judah Gavra   – We’re beautiful
  • Yarden Tzur – Replace you
  • Nicki Goldstein – We are one

The outcome was that

  • Judah Gavra   – We’re beautiful

won through and will join these nine candidates in the final on 7 March 2013.

  • Shany Zamir  – Forever
  • Ron Weinreich – Love is one
  • Kathleen Reiter – Back to me
  • Ran Sandler – Find a way
  • Vladi Bleiberg  We are free
  • Moran Mazoz  Give me a sign
  • Hila Ben David – Beautiful

I attended my first Eurovision Song Contest in 1995, and from 1996 presented daily live reports for radio stations from the event. Since then I have been providing material from everywhere the contest has been held. I also enjoy compiling most of the video materials for three UK ESC events each year. In 2010 I first provided material for esctoday.com.
