Английская Википедия:Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox song contest national year Israel participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, United Kingdom. The Israeli broadcaster Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (IPBC/Kan) internally selected Noa Kirel to represent the country with the song "Unicorn", which was written by Kirel along with Doron Medalie, May Sfadia, and Yinon Yahel. Kirel was announced as the Israeli representative on 10 August 2022, while the song, "Unicorn", was presented to the public on 8 March 2023.
Israel was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2023. Performing during the show in position 9, "Unicorn" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 14 May. It was later revealed that Israel placed third out of the 15 participating countries in the semi-final with 127 points. In the final, Israel performed in position 23 and placed third out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 362 points.[1]
Background
Шаблон:Main Prior to the 2023 contest, Israel has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest forty-four times since its first entry in Шаблон:Escyr.[2] Israel has won the contest on four occasions: in Шаблон:Esccnty with the song "Шаблон:Lang" performed by Izhar Cohen and the Alphabeta, in Шаблон:Esccnty with the song "Hallelujah" performed by Milk and Honey, in Шаблон:Esccnty with the song "Шаблон:Lang" performed by Dana International and in Шаблон:Esccnty with the song "Toy" performed by Netta Barzilai. Since the introduction of semi-finals to the format of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2004, Israel has, to this point, managed to qualify to the final eleven times, including three top ten results in Шаблон:Esccnty with Shiri Maimon and "Шаблон:Lang" placing fourth, in Шаблон:Esccnty with Boaz and "The Fire In Your Eyes" placing ninth, and in Шаблон:Esccnty with Nadav Guedj and "Golden Boy" placing ninth, in addition to the victory in 2018. In Шаблон:Esccnty, Michael Ben David with the song "I.M" failed to qualify for the final.
The Israeli national broadcaster, Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (IPBC/Kan), has been in charge of the nation's participation in the contest since Шаблон:ESCYr. Kan confirmed Israel's participation in the contest on 21 February 2021.[3] Between 2015 and 2020, the Israeli entry was selected through the reality singing competition Шаблон:Lang ("The Next Star for Eurovision") in collaboration with Keshet and Tedy Productions, while in 2022, Kan cooperated with Reshet to select the Israeli entry through the reality singing competition The X Factor Israel.[4][5] On 13 June 2022, Kan announced that they would not continue their cooperation with Reshet and would independently conduct an internal selection to select the artist that would represent Israel instead. This marked the first time since Шаблон:Esccnty that Israel had used an internal selection, and the first time that Kan selected the Israeli entry without collaborating with other broadcasters.[6]
Before Eurovision
Internal selection
The Israeli representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 was internally selected by Kan.[7] A special committee consisting of members from Kan, music editors and external representatives each suggested two artists from 78 initially considered based on airplay on Gimel and Galgalatz, and nominees for Singer of the Year and Group of the Year awards in 2019, 2020 and 2021.[8][9] Among artists that were considered included Mergui, Ella-Lee Lahav, Noa Kirel, Static & Ben-El Tavori and Ran Danker.[10] The members of the committee were Ofri Gopher (Director of Kan Music Stations), Yuval Cohen (Creative Director and Deputy Executive Producer of the Шаблон:Escyr), Kobi Nussbaum (Head of Production at Kan), Sharon Drix (culture and entertainment director of Kan), Tali Katz (Head of Delegation for Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest), Tal Argaman (DJ and music editor at Kan 88), Yossi Gispan (lyricist), Eden Darso (singer-songwriter), Avia Farchi (MTV Israel presenter) and Leon Feldman (music editor and presenter).[11] On 11 July 2022, Kan announced that Noa Kirel had topped the list with Mergui placing second.[11][12] Despite Kirel stating the following day that she and her team had yet to make a decision, Israeli television channel HaHadashot 12 reported in early August 2022 that the invitation had been accepted by the singer, which was later confirmed during a press conference held at the Hotel Carlton in Tel Aviv on 10 August 2022.[13][14][15]
Kirel was given artistic freedom from the Israeli broadcaster.[16] The singer was offered songwriters from other countries, but decided to stick with a local Israeli team for Eurovision, adding that her song will contain "all kinds of ethnic, Mediterranean and even Israeli directions".[16] In early September 2022, it was reported that the Israeli song would be created in a songwriting camp that would allow songwriters to work with each other to create their entry, with composers such as Doron Medalie, Ron Beaton, Jordi, Nitzan Kaykov, Itay Shimoni, and Eitan Peled all being rumoured to take part.[17] In late September 2022, the Israeli budget for the contest was revealed to be around Шаблон:Currency, with a majority being covered by Kirel's team, and the rest by Kan.[16]
On 17 January 2023, it was revealed that "Unicorn", written by Medalie, May Sfadia, Yinon Yahel and Kirel herself, was chosen to represent Israel from an initial pool of four songs.[18][19] On 8 March, "Unicorn" and its accompanying music video was premiered during a special televised broadcast titled Шаблон:Lang ("Our Song for Eurovision") on Kan 11, as well as online via kan.org.il.[20][21]
Promotion
To promote the song, Kirel was featured with the president of Israel, Isaac Herzog, along with the First Lady of Israel, Michal Herzog. In interviews, Kirel was stated that she would show "chutzpah" during her Eurovision performance.[22][23]
At Eurovision
According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 31 January 2023, an allocation draw was held, which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, and determined which half of the show they would perform in. Israel has been placed into the first semi-final, to be held on 9 May 2023, and has been scheduled to perform in the second half of the show.[24]
Once all the competing songs for the 2023 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. Israel was set to perform in position 9, following the entry from Шаблон:Esccnty and before the entry from Шаблон:Esccnty.[25]
At the end of the show, Israel was announced as a qualifier for the final.
