One of the best editions of KDAM ever. Many good songs. Liora was the right winner - and I am glad my country (the UK) gave it 12, and it's a very strong and powerful ballad. Did she have much of a career after ESC? I like Dana International's song, but "Diva" was better. It'd be interesting how ESC would have took to her in 1995 with 100% jury. She might have done very badly. Yulia's song is better than her effort in 1993 with that cheesy group - very 1990s. The girl band Bnot Ya'akov had a very 1990s song but their harmonies were poor. A good bit of Israeli pop. Haya Samir had a wonderful ethno-pop song and more suited to ESC in that era. Eli Luzon had a great ballad but let down with a cheesy performance sadly. Tali Koren's song was very of it's time but not for ESC. Shalva Berti..."Mayim" it ain't despite her wonderful voice. Lea Laputin and Ofer Levi had a nice song, but Lea bless her never got the chance to go solo. A shame as she is a singer who has the vocals, songs, presence and looks. Si Heiman had a nice rock song but nothing more. That "Kesef" song was weird as fuck mind. The only songs I didn't like were Ya'akov Nave and Avi Eylot despite the fantastic backings on the latter.
מי היה מאמין שגם עופר לוי הופיע בקדם אירוויזיון זה יחד עם לאה לופטין. אך לגבי השיר "הארץ המובטחת" שהוא אחד משירי התחרות, כל זה היה בעקבות ההצלחה המשותפת בשיר "הכל פתוח" שכל המדינה נדלקה עליו ובזכותו עופר לוי נהפך לפופולרי בכל מדינת ישראל אחרי 6 שנות קריירה ראשונות שלמעשה היו רק במועדוני זמר טורקי וערבי-מצרי. אבל כבר באותו הזמן עופר לוי החל בתהליך של חזרה בתשובה, דבר שהאט את הקריירה שלו ושגם מנע מהצמד (עופר לוי ולאה לופטין) להמשיך את הפופולריות שצברו
