Most Wins: Sweden 6 (Israel 4)
Bookmakers favourite: Sweden 8/1 (Israel 400/1 - 300/1 before first semi was performed)
Michael Ben David, who is known for musical theatre, won the Israeli version of X-Factor, which is used to select the entry for Eurovision. Cornelia Jakobs won Melodifestivalen 2022 on her first attempt as a solo singer songwriter. She wrote "Best of Me" performed by Efraim Leo at Melodifestivalen 2021 which did not make the final and she has performed at Melodifestivalen in 2011 and 2012 as part of girl group Love Generation (Later named Stockholm Syndrome) who broke up in 2016. This makes Cornelia the more seasoned singer though Michael is the bigger performer.
Cornelia's song is not the most exciting song but it is very relatable song about loving someone but the time is not right. Michael Ben David's song appeals to a niche audience which could be described as a large section of the Eurovision Audience. The song is a little over the top though and is in a strong semi
In the end it comes down to how it works on stage. The performer needs a presence and needs to fill the stage without crowding it. I fear Michael Ben David' will overcrowd the stage without even without dancers, but without dancers he could be messy.
This round goes to Sweden.
