The only one who's result made me happy. I expected to do a bit worse to be honest not cause of the performance but the running order. However he achieved to bring to his country to a position that they hadn't been for too long. He sung great even though he had to dance. 3rd place in the semi final was expected judging the performance and that there wasn't any other upbeat song in the semi.

Such a shame Greece didn't gave him any point. And oh my god our commentator hated it. I seriously wanted to punch her. From the semifinal she said that it would fail and every time it was getting points at the final she was critisize it.For gods shake she said it didn't deserve a top 10. I suppose she at her 16 was the most successful reporter or that ever she is doing. She was here to translate and introduce the songs not telling her opinion about the songs. I hope next year they will change her.

Well that turned out pretty weird but she was seriously bitchy. Anyway Nadav made me really happy or even I could say proud. Congrats for once again for your amazing performance

^Unfortunately dear, that's anti Israel...when a country like Greece don't vote for Israel with such a song there is no other word to describe that :) with all my love!

Well that was mostly jury's fault cause the rank it 24th while our televoting rank it 10th. So we would actually give you :1: although and this is a not lower from the usual points we give you.
But also if you hear the commentator repeating every time she sees Israel "how bad the song is" may some people get influenced.

I'm so happy about the result, especially considering in last few years Israel was very underrated. The song and performance were very energetic. I hope Israel will keep it up and maybe we will be heading to Tel Aviv/Jerusalem for Eurovision in 2017 :)

Maybe a little too high, considering how the previous (imo) better :il: songs were failing, but he deserved to have success. The song is catchy, uplifting and memorable. The performance was also good so...........well done Israel.

Here starting with 8:50 you can see our reaction on Israel making to the final :D


I was so freaking nervous on that last qualifier, i'd have a heart attack if Israel didn't make it!
I am so so so happy for the Top-10 placing and it was well deserved, keep up a great work and make us shake asses every year with this ethnic delight x12s

U better not speak badly of Maria Kozakou! :evil: Seriously! :?

She is a great journalist, she did an amazing job as a commentator and she just expressed herself in an open and humorous way! I guess u have never experienced a BBC commentary! :mrgreen:

Well I don't know if she is good or bad at her job but she said at least 4 times that he didn't deserved to be at top 10. I mean they put her here to translate and introduce the songs not to make her personal comments.

Massive well done Israel! The awesome thing that I took from the final was just how spread out the points were - seriously, Israel was in the majority of country's top 10 rankings, and that can only mean one thing... MASSIVE SUMMER HIT!

Enjoy the spoils of your wonderful performance Nadav - you deserve it xlove

Official earworm for this year´s ESC-week... don´t know how often I had the refrain in my mind. So I was very, very happy Israel qualified this year after Mei was robbed last year.

For me, it was a top-3 contestant. This was pure energetic joy and fun to be on stage and to entertain the crowd! Great performance!

Wooohooo. You can't even imagine how nerve wrecking it was to wait for Israel to qualify (and on the last envelop to, same with Belgium in the first semi final, which was my favorite). Every time they were about to announce the qualifiers, I was yelling Israel, but there was always another country. Finally they got through, and I am so happy. Of course the draw wasn't great, but apparently it didn't stop Nadav from achieving 9th place in the final. I am very happy with the result, and I hope it gives Israel something new to work with.

And he's 16?!?!? He has done more than I had at 16 xD

Israel is still number 3 in my 2015 list! A very good and catchy performance as well!
I SURE will be playing this every time I wanna dance or party during this summer! And probably for a lot of years to come (yeah.... I still put on Dum Tek Tek whenever I feel like having fun... xballon)
