A Eurovision winner?

This year Israel's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest Harel Skaat is daring to dream about winning the competition. The young singer could be set to walk in the footsteps of Dana International with his song 'Words'. Skaat is confident that he can pass the semi final stages and is praying to even win the competition. Just as the 55th Eurovision contest is set to get underway in Oslo, Norway with the first of two semi finals already held on Wednesday, Skaat who will feature in the second semi final believes he has a strong chance of progressing. His song, 'Words' is an emotionally charged ballad and is looking to be a favourite for the competition title as book makers and betting agents have him as a strong contender in 2nd or 3rd position. Skaat is also happy that the usual Pro Palestinian objections to Israeli entries have yet to materialise.
