This year Israel is represented by Hovi Star. He won The Next Star for Eurovision with Made of Stars. That song has been thoroughly adapted.

Hovi Star was not very happy with the original version of Made of Stars and therefore it was song to his hand. It was a R&B-ballad with piano and violin for the classic nut. ‘ Hovi is in part also American and loves big R&B-ballads. I have the chorus taken care of so that everyone understands the message of the song. We need to find the humanity in every form. We are all made of stars, we are all equal. We must transcend differences ‘, says composer Doron Medalie.

So sounded the first version.

Hovi Star is a direct competitor of Laura Tesoro in the second semifinal.
