Ive come to the conclusion that alternating languages doesn't work in Eurovision...look at Norway
Its probably too much for small Eastern European Brains to comprehend

I really hope you're not talking about hebrew! I am so glad that you have this rule that your songs have to be at least partly in hebrew to compete. It's such a beautiful language. Especially in songs!

Hebrew is my favourite language. ;) Very beautiful, really.

I'm sorry for Dana.

Chen Aharoni should have won Kdam.

Such a shame, Dana gave a spectacular performance, the crowd loved her, I loved her but it's just a shame that the audience didnt love her :(. Im sure Israel will come back fighting next year :). :il:

I'm really sorry, Dana was not be perfect, but she was much better than many qualifiers (especially better than Mika, Eric or Moldovan guys).
Shes place is in final!

And this is idiotic attitude.

I thought the performance was bit on the weak side tonight. I still liked it, but not as much as I did previously.

Also it so pales in comparison to Diva.

The vocals were surprisingly great but it was a boring performance, not to mention this version of the song didn't work... It had great potential with the first version and I can't believe no one decided to go for a more elaborate coreography. :eek:

Hey friends, good morning all!
I felt very bad yesterday but after semi 1 I didn't expected much from any of the countries. For me, Dana did an amazing performance, she had the charisma, it was a winner performance, but maybe the juries were the ones who made her fall. For me, she is the DIVA and none will forget her winning in 1998 . . .



At least, we had a great performance to remember. I'm sure so many surprises gonna happen tomorrow, and I won't be in shock if Moldova will win. Dana you are always in my hearth!
Another issue, I wish Israel won't take part in the next years, it's time to give up after the bad results since 2000!

Well I did tell you. All along I told you this was no good! It was a hopeless song and a bland performance and totally didn't deserve to qualify. Your blind hero worship for Dana must make you deaf. This was not a surprise, all the rehearsals were poor as well and it got its just desserts. I agree it may be time to give up if this is the sort of cack Israel is going to send, but maybe instead of pouting and sulking, it would be better to actually send someone who can sing better, with a decent song!?

In the end, a poor song went out. Big Deal!! It certainly won't be missed in the final.

Boker tov. Dont give up, for me it wouldn't be the same without Israel. As results go Shiri came 4th, Boaz 9th, and if you had given Noa & Mira 'will you dance with me' instead of 'there must be another way' 2009 would have been a good result too. Harel would have gotten a better place if he had stuck to his first version. Just send something kick ass next time.

Can you behave better to a person who feel so bad? :/ A shame!

And one important thing to add, Dana had an amazing performance, one of the best yesterday, so give me a favor
