Israel has had a terrible Eurovision track record over the past few years. Having been a powerhouse nation in prior decades, the 2010s have seen Israel miss the final for the past four years.
IBA, the Israeli broadcaster, is hoping to change that by sending the winner of the reality singing competition HaKokhav HaBa to Vienna.
Nadav Gued "Golden Boy"
In a year of drowsy ballads, this dance number with a feel of the souk about it is doing to stand out. There's nothing else that sounds remotely like this in the contest--a Justin Timberlake song--and that's in Israel's favor.
However, for Nadav to qualify for the contest, it's going to depend on the performance. Right now, "Golden Boy" isn't special enough to overcome the lack of friendly neighbor countries on the song alone.
But if Gued can loosen up and let out his inner Timberlake and the Israeli team can come up with a visually appealing stage show for the viewers, this can make it to the finals.
