Imagine if "Savior In The Sound" wins

I would give up my hopes for ESC 2020, what a boring start of the decade.

To be honest, "Savior In The Sound" is actually really good IMO, my 2nd favourite of 4 entries (if I am just looking at the Israeli song selection). It pawns all the ballads this year. But if you have 3 other good uptempo songs and to stand out in this competition, they need to send any of the other 3.

savior in the sound would still be an easy top 10 here tbh

Saviour In The Sound is my favourite cause I'm occasionally a basic bitch, but it just absolutely has to be Feker Libi. Give us THE bop, Israel. It's a instant classic before even reaching Eurovision.

 

[A-lister]

To send Saviour when you have Feker Libi or Rakata is just a waste of opportunity... but this whole ESC season is just one wasted opportunity after the other so

But now with all the male ballads, to come with an authentic Bop would make you stand out and Israel could, potentially, win again...

"Rakata" and I'm rooting (sorry for the pun) for Tel-Aviv 2021. But it's too good yo be true, it'll probably "Fekir Libi", which isn't a bad song though.

Some snippets of rehearsals. The girl can definitely sing and I think it's going to be a very good NF.
I am shocked that Israel is not rising up the odds, especially they have 4 great songs to choose from.

By the way, does anyone know if there will be a livestream of the NF?

I am shocked that Israel is not rising up the odds, especially they have 4 great songs to choose from.

I guess odds should be taken with a grain of salt this early on, but I think it could be a combo of various factors...

1) Israel just recently won and hosted just last year, and sometimes that actually brings a country down in odds rather than up due to low probability of winning again that close and the public tendency to root for countries that didn't win recently or in a long time, and also see my point 3...

2) Juries in ESC dislike ethno-styled entries (which is really sad but yeah, that's how they are) and they are also party-poopers in general...

and now the two more controversial ones

3) There are anti-Israel and anti-semitic sentiments growing stronger in Europe (which is very sad but true), and we could see groups loudly last year trying to create boycotts and later on, after their hatred failed, tried to trash the contest again so with that in mind, Israel is judged much harsher than many other countries...

4) There is a slight skin-color bias in ESC unfortunately, I mean things are getting better surely and the problem isn't really within the ESC community, but there are still groups out there, especially in Eastern Europe / Central-Eastern Europe and some Southern countries, where racism is still alive and kicking quite well even to this date, and while I would stress I do think this issue is a minor one in a Eurovision context since the worst people don't even tune into this event, I think we can't ignore that it is still a reality to a certain degree.

"Rakata" is a contender to be my favorite entry since 2015, "Feker Libi" would also be ok with me... I would put "Roots" in this list if the song didn't have that annoying part

Queen ! I really hope that she'll dance during "Rakata".

 

[Mrm]

Let's danceeeeeee!

Baby Rakataaaa!

 

[Romeo]

This time tomorrow I will be in a really awkward position... I will have to remove a country from my top 5 to make room for Israel! and if Rakata or Feker Libi wins then I will be deciding who needs to me moved out of my top 3 or maybe my number 1.

Germany, Iceland, Serbia, Australia, and Greece are all at risk

''Feker Libi'' would get my 1st place right now!

[Zonne147]
