The upcoming Eurovision Song Contest is expected to take place this May in Liverpool, England, when Israel will be represented by singer Noa Kirel. But now it becomes clear that as far as the decision on the semi-finalists is concerned, he will not be like his predecessors.
The European Broadcasting Union announced today (Tuesday) that the decision regarding the contestants for the semi-finals will be determined only by the viewers at home. The decision changes the method that was used until today, in which the decision on the contestants was made by weighing the viewers’ vote together with the judges’ vote.
However, the voting method in the final will remain as it was used in the past. Another decision that was made is that voting will be open to the whole world.
