Finegold, 31, who was chosen to represent Israel in the 2014 competition which will be held in Copenhagen in May, was one of the finalists of the seventh season of reality television show "A Star is Born."
Since then, she has participated in a play based on the songs of singer Shlomo Artzi and in the Cameri Theater's production of "Kazablan," for which she won the best supporting actress award in the 2012 Israel Theater Prize ceremony.
She will attempt to break Israel's series of failures to make it to the competition's final in the past three years.
"I believe I can win and even more," Finegold told Ynet in a special interview after she was selected. "I don't see an option of losing, and I'm not even preparing for it mentally. I would like to believe that in a singing competition there will be a fair and honest selection, and that the songs will be what counts – not politics."
