TEL AVIV 🇮🇱 2019

The Eurovision Song Contest 2018 was the 63rd edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Lisbon, Portugal, following Salvador Sobral’s win at the 2017 contest in Kyiv, Ukraine with the song “Amar pelos dois”. It was the first time Portugal had hosted the contest – 54 years after the country made its debut. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP), the contest was held at the Altice Arena and consisted of two semi-finals on 8 and 10 May, and the final on 12 May 2018. The three live shows were hosted by Filomena Cautela, Sílvia Alberto, Daniela Ruah and Catarina Furtado. It was the first Eurovision Song Contest held on the Atlantic coast. Forty-three countries participated in the contest, equalling the record of the 2008 and 2011 editions. Russia returned after their absence from the previous edition, and for the first time since 2011, no country withdrew from the contest.

The winner was Israel with the song “Toy”, performed by Netta and written by Doron Medalie and Stav Beger. This was Israel’s fourth victory in the contest, following their wins in 1978, 1979, and 1998, and their first top-five placing in more than a decade. Cyprus, Austria, Germany and Italy rounded out the top five. Cyprus achieved their best result in their Eurovision history. Further down the table, the Czech Republic also achieved their best result to date, finishing sixth. Portugal finished in the last place of the final, making it the third time that the host country ranked in the bottom five since 2015. For the first time since the introduction of the semi-finals in 2004, Azerbaijan, Romania, and Russia all failed to qualify for the final. Also, for the first time since 2005, no countries of the Caucasus region (Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) participated in the final. The EBU reported that the contest had a worldwide audience of around 186 million viewers, surpassing the 2017 edition by over 4 million.

RUSSIA 🇷🇺 Surely a national broadcaster has its right to hold a national selection in the way they want. But it was Channel One's spokesperson who stated they are seeking transparency and more interaction with the audience (LOL). 6 0
