David D'Or at Istanbul (2004)

Israel was represented in the Eurovision by David D'Or who sang the bilingual English / Hebrew song "Leha'amin" (Hebrew script: להאמין; English translation: "To Believe")

In November 2003, the Israel Broadcasting Authority (the "IBA") chose D'Or to represent the country in the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest in Istanbul. The song was co-written by D'Or and Ehud Manor.[1]

Selection during program "Israel Selects a Song"

The song was chosen on February 5, 2004, in voting during the program "Israel Selects a Song" held during a break in a televised Maccabi Tel Aviv Euroleague basketball game at which videos of four songs sung by D'Or were shown.[2] The vote was by both a special IBA Eurovision Committee (including prior Israeli entrants Lior Narkis and Gali Atari), which accounted for 40% of the vote, and a televote by viewers, who accounted for the remaining 60% of the vote. "Leha'amin" won 60% of the jury's vote, and 66% of the viewers' televotes.[3]

Eurovision

David D'Or performed his song in the semi-final receiving 57 points which was not enough to qualify for the finals.
