Boaz was great - professional, perfect and handsome. Excellent song, staging and performance. Kol HaKavod. We are very proud of Boaz.

Boaz was amazing and so were the dozens of Israelis as they waved the Blue and White flags. We are indeed a great and proud nation!

it was worth sending all these sms!! Boaz's performance was perfect and the song was definitely the best in this 1st semi-final, if musical quality is your main criteria. In the final, Boaz will most probably have to face some tough competitors : some amazing, like Ukraine and Sweden, some not so good, but supported nontheless, like Russia (Dima's performance was crap, sorry guys).

Kol Hakavod Boaz! His wonderful voice, professionalism and presentation outshone the others, but .. how will the contest be judged?

Finally someone we can be proud of. He is such a talented singer and ofcourse well done to Dana International who along with Shai wrote the song. Lets hope Boaz does well on Satuday night.

Boaz' voice was sensational and he looked fabulous. Dana's song is one of the best. The only thing that ruined the performance was when the backup singers were jumping up and down (and not even in sync) behind Boaz. The voters should be focused on Boaz when he is pouring his heart and soul into the song's climax. The guys can move behind him, but not vertically. Boaz, however, should not change one little thing about his performance. He needs to rest and repeat exactly what he did today next Saturday. Kol ha kavod ve b'hatzlacha!

Anything is better than the crap that represented us last year

It's all political and we are not looked at in a very favourable light right now, so 'aucuns points pour l'Israël' !!! Let's not be too upset.

The Eurovision content has long since lost it's pedigree.

im just kidding.

Many Europeans are saying that Israel is their favorite. In the 1st semi final Boaz had the best voice of the 19 entries and possibly the best song. The audience went wild for Boaz. See for yourself and enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw_6gdieBRY
