A special committee, led by the IBA chairman, made that decision today. They will perform four songs to the public. A specialized committee will be responsible for 60% of the votes, leaving the rest for the audience who can vote by SMS and on the internet.

Noa, whose real name is Achinoam Nini, is Israel's leading international concert and recording artist. She has toured and sung with rock superstar Sting, performed her song Child of Man with Stevie Wonder for a CBS TV special in the U.S., and shared the stage and microphone with many well-known artists.

Mira Awad is an Israeli-Arab singer and actress currently living in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Last year Boaz represented Israel in Belgrade, Serbia and achieved the 9th place with The Fire In Your Eyes.
