The favourite of the night was Jonathan Margi who sang “How Far I’ll Go” from the movie Moana. He managed to get the highest percentage of the night – 88% (and Yes from all 4 judges).
Not far behing followed Netta Barzilai with 82% supporting votes. She performed Rihanna‘s Rude Boy in a very original style, impressing both the judges and the audience.
