Israel have embarked on a massive search for their Eurovision 2015 representative. After an initial thought of having an internal selection, they are now using the show ‘The Next Star’ to find their act for Vienna.

Next stage of the contest will be 3 shows of 15 contestants where they will have to perform. The 4 judges will vote to keep them or send them home. To pass you must get at least 3 ‘Yes’ from the judges. 5 singers will progress from each of the 3 shows. If there are more than 5 acts that have received 3 votes then the judges will have to select just 5 to progress.

We have pulled together some videos from the final 45 singers.

What do you think? Is there a Eurovision Winner there? Can Israel reverse there run of bad luck at the contest this year?
