Hey!

First of all I want to wish you a happy Hanukkah, Chag Sameach!

I'm a goy trying to broaden my musical horizon a bit so i've come to you because I am curious if you have any song recommendations from Israeli and/or Jewish artists? It doesn't really matter what kind of song it is, what genre, what language etc. but let me know if narrowing down may help. :') Maybe you also know some other people on here who can or would like to help with this quest? Sorry if i'm asking for a lot.

Thank you in advance, I am looking forward to your response Also: You're awesome!

Thank you so much for the ask! You’re certainly not asking for too much, I will never pass up a chance to talk about music. But first, a bit of a disclaimer before we begin: I obviously don’t know your taste in music. I can tell you what my favorites are, and give you recommendations from my other Jewish/Israeli friends, but this is all very subjective, so just keep that in mind.

Firstly, my area of expertise: musical theater. Les Mis, Wicked, West Side Story, anything by Stephen Sondheim (my favorite of his is Into the Woods), Rodgers and Hammerstein, or Alan Menken. Fiddler on the Roof, The Producers… Tbh, pick a musical, and there’s a good chance it’s written by one of us.

For diaspora singers, I recently learned that Pink is actually Jewish! I have always adored her music, so I highly recommend. There’s also Barbra Streisand (duh), Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Adam Levine, and Carol King.

For Israeli singers—and keep in mind that I’m not Israeli—Ofra Haza is obviously gonna be my first recommendation. She’s one of the most incredible singers I’ve ever heard. For more modern pop, I would recommend Keren Peles, Sarit Hadad, and Eyal Golan. Of all the Israeli pop I’ve listened to, those have been my favorites. I asked some of my Israeli friends, too, and they recommended Shlomi Shabat, Shiri Maimon, and Eden Ben Zaken.

Any other Jews and Israelis who want to add on, by my guest.

Eurovision 2005: The Scoreboards

This year's scoreboard is an unfussy affair. The graphics are utilitarian - back to the spreadsheet chic of 2000 albeit with little wormholes in the graphics for the spokesperson and the voting country's flag.

There's no room for the hearts of last year, this is a scoreboard that means business and promises no messing about, let's get straight to the results. Of course, the voting sequence takes just as long as it always does with the same tomfoolery from all taking part.

For the semi-final there is one small innovation. The envelopes are still present with the names of the countries who've qualified for the final, however this time as the hosts randomly select envelopes the successful acts are added to the running order of the final sequentially.

The first drawn country gets the first available slot. If you're drawn first, you have the relief of knowing you're through, but you get an early draw - possibly even the death slot! If you're last out, then you've had a minor heart attack, but you get the prime later running order slots. Genius!

It's 2005 Spoiler Time!

The ten countries that qualified are (in a very particular order):

Romania - 235 points

Moldova (on their debut!) - 207 points

Denmark - 185 points

Croatia - 169 points

Hungary (on their return!) - 167 points

Norway - 164 points

Israel - 158 points

Switzerland - 114 points

North Macedonia - 97 points

Latvia - 85 points

Poland missed out by only four points in eleventh place. This is also probably the place to point out that the two smallest countries taking part, Monaco and Andorra finished second-bottom and third-bottom in an televote semi-final. For countries without large diasporas or huge numbers of neighbourly friends, it would appear that the televote has drawbacks.

As is going to become the norm, the points scored were revealed only after the grand final. The contents of the envelopes were the only place I noticed where the heart symbol appeared this year - the flags were printed inside hearts on those cards.

In the grand final, once again, the voting sequence was not that tense. At around the halfway mark, there was no clear leader, in fact the country that qualified from the semi-final in tenth place, Latvia, was leading but after that, Greece slowly pulled away. The result was obvious a long way from the end.

Although there were no nul points this year, there is one glaring aspect of the final scoreboard to address. The bottom five places were occupied by the host country and the Big Four. In fact, of the bottom twelve in the voting, that is the entire right-hand side of the scoreboard, eleven of them hadn't performed in the semi-final. Is this a new and perhaps unexpected aspect of the semi-final system? It's something to keep an eye-on. It's not going to stop some commentators yelling it's all about politics though.

Here's the full rundown of the 2005 Eurovision final scores:

Greece - Helena Paparizou - "My Number One" - 230 points

Malta - Chiara - "Angel" - 192 points

Romania - Luminița Anghel and Sistem - "Let Me Try" - 192 points

Israel - Shiri Maimon - "HaSheket SheNish'ar" - 154 points

Latvia - Walters and Kazha - "The War Is Not Over" - 153 points

Moldova - Zdob și Zdub - "Boonika bate doba" - 148 points

Serbia and Montenegro - No Name - "Zauvijek moja" - 137 points

Switzerland - Vanilla Ninja - "Cool Vibes" - 128 points

Norway - Wig Wam - "In My Dreams" - 125 points

Denmark - Jakob Sveistrup - "Talking to You" - 125 points (joint 9th)

Croatia - Boris Novković feat. Lado members - "Vukovi umiru sami" - 115 points

Hungary - Nox - "Forogj, világ" - 97 points

Türkiye - Gülseren - "Rimi Rimi Ley" - 92 points

Bosnia and Herzegovina - Feminnem - "Call Me" - 79 points

Russia - Natalia Podolskaya - "Nobody Hurt No One" - 57 points

Albania - Ledina Çelo - "Tomorrow I Go" - 53 points

North Macedonia - Martin Vučić - "Make My Day" - 52 points

Cyprus - Constantinos Christoforou - "Ela Ela" - 46 points

Sweden - Martin Stenmarck - "Las Vegas" - 30 points

Ukraine - GreenJolly - "Razom nas bahato"- 30 points (joint 19th)

Spain - Son de Sol - "Brujería" - 28 points

United Kingdom - Javine - "Touch My Fire" - 18 points

France - Ortal - "Chacun pense à soi" - 11 points

German - Gracia - "Run & Hide" - 4 points

For the uplifting/empowering Jewish music anon: I feel like Chai by Ofra Haza is a really good one! Another song that I absolutely adore is Ba'Shana Ha'Ba'a by Shiri Maimon. It's a slower song, but the lyrics are just so hopeful and beautiful, I can't get enough of it

Good evening Europe!

It's that magical time of the year again when we all come together to trash each others' musical tastes!

The point system has changed many times over the years, and as various countries have come and gone, it is hard to determine who did "the best" based on the points they got alone as, since the maximum available points doubled with the jury and televote scores no longer being combined, post 2016 entries would have an obvious advantage and, likewise, the contests with 40+ participants would also have more maximum available points to give so a country getting 200 points in 2004 is not the same as another getting 200 points in 2009 or 2016.

But if we divide the points each entry got by the maximum available points for the respective year it competed, we get a percentage score that can easily be measured against entries from years with differing point systems.

So, for example, in 2009 42 countries participated. The maximum points each country can award is of course 12 and you can't vote for yourself. So 41 × 12 = 492. Let's then take Norway's total of 387 points and divide it by the 492 total of maximum available points. We get 78.6, meaning Norway and Alexander Rybak amassed 78.6% of the total points in 2009!

In the case of tie breaks the entry that placed higher in its respective year wins the tie break and if there's still a tie I used rules similar to the actual contest; the winner of a tie is the entry that received more points from televoting. If there are no split results available to the public, the entry that received points from more countries, then the country that received more 12 points, then 10 points all the way down to 1. If the tie cannot be broken in this way, the entry that performed earlier wins the tie break.

I've set 2004 as the "beginning of time", if you will, because that's when I started watching Eurovision and because there also had to be some sort of limit to how far back I would go with this 🤣

With that very long-winded explanation of my measuring tactics out of the way, shall we see our current Top 100 before new entries are added after the 2023 Grand Final is over?
