Very beautiful song, but still can't believe you did not choose "Le'an". ;)

Good luck, Israel! One of the best songs this year!

andrew berlin,
it's not something i invented. you see that many people mentioned this fact in the past. even when israel came first , we could have got more points. it also depends on which year and what was the political situation then. my aim in saying all that is that people should leave politics to politicians. we are all human beings and in every nation there are good people and bad people. so see the positive thing in what i said.

Netherlands 100/1- My advice, get a bet on now!!! I have a suspicion that Netherlands will win the surprise winner this year!!!

if that's true, what would be the real placing of Israel in 1978, 1979, 1999 etc.. if what you claim was really true, Israel would never be able to reach a top 3 or 4 position, which is obviously not the case.

for those who say that politics takes a big roll in voting-you are right. in israel, we know that the final placing we get should be 4-5 places higher and we lost points just because of politics...however, i don't see any politics involved when we, in israel, are voting. we give points to turkey, greece, sweden, norway and uk- countries which are always against us (boycoting etc...). this year i am going to vote for the lovely song of sweden and in don't care if one minister there said things against us, and i don't care if half of their nation is anti israeli.

Still disappointed, that Le'an wasn't chosen, but Milim is a beautiful song sund by a very charesmatic and brilliant young singer, so my votes go anyway to Israel, caus harel skaat is an outstanding and likeable artist. israeli song and artist is the best package this year so, fingers crossed for our dear friends in Israel. Good luck Israel from Germany

Sorry, but I've just heard the song, and it reminded me an old BG film's title, which is "Something of Nothing". Just PR... I had the same feeling with the Serbian winner song a few years ago.

I'm happy to se Denmark at the top of the list this year - allthough the songs in the top of the bookies usually never win the ESC.

No Israel can't win! Their song is not the best - I've listened to it and was bored. Azerbaijan deserve to win!!

@ Well done Thomas, great work. Nice to watch ...

But Ireland, Norway and Greece won´t be that high, no way. Of course Lena should be 3rd insted of being 13th.

I love Slovakia, too, but do you think Europe will love again Eastern Traditional? - a few got really sick of that.

@ true fantasy

I guess we want the same and our opinions aren´t that different and of course I have a lot of respect to .. yes, you know what I mean, even if I am the third generation as well - I never took part in anything, but it sounds so fixed, some kind of ... being always a victim of anything, instead of taking response for today. (Sounds cruel, but I don´t mean it cruel!).

Maybe the truth is in between - sometimes we can´t forget the past to make a better future, but we should not hold on to old things too much. I just don´t like to speak of ... THE Dutch, THE Germans, THE Greek, THE Jew, THE British ... for me it´s too simple, that a folk or people stand for .. being cruel, nice or funny.

I really travelled most of Europe and found everything everyehere - you now what I mean?

Enyjoy and many greetings!
