A dramatic show, ten great acts and of course an amazing winner; how else can we describe the final of KDAM 2013? Moran Mazor won quite convincingly with the song Rak bishvilo (Only For Him) and will now represent Israel at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden in May
Watch the Israeli song below:
Israel has an impressive history at the Eurovision Song Contest and hopes to continue that success in Sweden with Moran Mazor. The country has won three times: in 1978, 1979 and 1998. The latter caused a huge stir when Dana International won the contest in Birmingham in 1998 with Diva.
