Eden Golan is who? What does his Eurovision 2024 song say?

Eden Golan, an Israeli participant who was subjected to jeers from certain segments of the audience throughout her semifinal and general rehearsals this week, gave a performance on Saturday in the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest, which was held in Malmo, Sweden, this year.

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which is the organizer of the competition, made an effort to maintain the contest’s focus on the performers. However, some have called for a boycott of the event since it refused to exclude Israel, despite the fact that Israel is still engaged in a war against Hamas in Gaza.

Through the performance of the song “Hurricane” on Saturday, Israel was able to guarantee its spot in the final; however, he did not emerge victorious. Nemo and his song “The Code,” which is an anthem about the struggle towards recognizing his non-binary identity, won the competition for Switzerland.

“I hope this competition can live up to its promise and continue to uphold the peace and dignity of all people,” Nemo said after winning the prize. “I hope this competition can take its promise seriously.”

Eden Golan, a singer-songwriter who hails from Tel Aviv and is only a few years old, was the representative of Israel in the second semi-final of Eurovision 2024. This Saturday, she will be competing in the final. When she triumphed in the talent competition known as HaKokhav HaBa (The Next Star) in February of last year, her participation in Malmö was officially established in her home country.

Since Golan had previously competed in the Junior Eurovision preselection in 2015, he had previous experience in a previous phase of the competition. However, he was representing Russia at that time.

When Golan was younger, he participated in gymnastics practices and fantasized about competing in the Olympic Games. However, he eventually gravitated toward music, as he stated in an interview that he gave in February for the HaKokhav HaBa program. Beyoncé and Ariana Grande are among his primary musical inspirations, and he asserts that Miley Cyrus was a significant factor in shaping his musical style. He resides in Tel Aviv.

The response that CNN received in response to their request to interview the Israeli interpreter was that the interview would only be scheduled if questions were provided in advance. This is contrary to the customary protocols that are followed by journalists.

The song “Hurricane” by Golan, which has a duration of slightly more than three minutes, was the one that Golan sent to the Eurovision 2024 competition. With the exception of the final verse, which is written in Hebrew, the lyrics are almost all translated into English. Over one hundred fifty thousand people have liked it on YouTube, and over forty thousand people have commented on it.

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) was compelled to take action after it was determined that Golan’s proposed song, which was named “October Rain,” contained an excessive amount of references to the attacks that Hamas carried out on Israel on October 7.

A political metaphor was directed toward the “writers of history” in the song’s lyrics, which also made reference to the month of October. The stanza “I’m still wet from that October rain” was one of the adjustments that was made to the song’s lyrics.

Due to an alleged slip in the Italian broadcast that went viral on social networks, Golán rocketed up to second place among the bets of some specialized houses for the grand final on Thursday, just minutes after it was confirmed that she would be competing in the final.

It would appear that RAI disclosed the outcomes of the televoting conducted by its audience during the duration of its live program, which is something that national networks should avoid doing. During the semi-final round of sixteen finalists, the results revealed that Israel had received 39% of the votes cast by the Italian public. This resulted in Israel’s victory among Italian voters by a significant margin.

CNN was informed by the RAI that the results were released incorrectly owing to a “technical problem.” The network then apologized to the EBU, which stated that it had requested that the RAI “review its procedures.”

If Israel had been victorious on Saturday, it would have been eligible to organise the competition for the following year. Noel Curran, the Director General of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), stated to CNN that in such a scenario, the EBU will “do what it always does,” which is to meet with the Israeli station KAN to discuss practicalities.

Nevertheless, such a result would be extremely problematic for the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), since it would ensure that the competition would remain mired in geopolitics and controversy for an additional year, and it would also make it difficult for other broadcasters to take part.

As a result of the Russian invasion, Ukraine was unable to host the competition after it had defeated Russia in 2022. As a result, the United Kingdom, which had finished in second place, arranged a celebration edition of the competition on behalf of Kyiv. In the case that Israel’s war with Hamas is still ongoing, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) might try to get a similar promise while preparing the event. However, it might be more challenging to locate a country that is ready to host the event on Israel’s behalf, given the expected reaction from some segments of the Eurovision community.

Contradictory views that provoked cries for double standards were taken by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which chose not to remove Israel due to its war in Gaza. On the other hand, Russia was barred due to its large-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly two years ago. CNN was informed by Director Curran that “the two things are not comparable at all,” and he claimed that the Israeli national network KAN did not breach the rules of the competition in the same way that the Russian network did. This is the most important factor in determining whether or not a person is eligible to participate in the competition.

At the grand final of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, which will take place tonight in Malmo, Sweden, Eden Golan, who is representing Israel, will perform her song “Hurricane.”

The singer, who is twenty years old, was subjected to jeers and yells of “free Palestine” at the dress rehearsal for the second semi-final, which took place on Thursday, May 9 prior to the actual competition.

Pro-Palestine demonstrators were also seen waving Palestinian flags and banners with Eurovision-style branding and the phrase “genocide” scrawled across them outside of the Malmo Arena, which is where the event is being hosted. Protests were also taking place inside the arena.

Israel has categorically refuted allegations that a genocide is taking place in Gaza, despite the fact that it is now engaged in a conflict with Hamas which was precipitated by the attacks that took place on October 7th. More than 34,000 Palestinians, including more than 14,000 children, have been murdered as a result of Israeli strikes since October 7th.

Following her performance in the semi-final, Golan was able to secure a spot in the final round of voting. She will now compete against other delegates from other countries, including Baby Lasagna from Croatia, Bambie Thug from Ireland, Joost from the Netherlands, and Olly Alexander from the United Kingdom.

Golan began her career as a musician by competing in the Russian selection for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2015. She then went on to make an appearance on the Russian television show The Voice Kids. Golan was born in Russia. As of the year 2022, the family relocated back to Israel.

In order to choose a representative for Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2024, the Israeli government collaborated with the Keshet 12 channel and the talent program Rising Star to pick potential candidates.

The judges were blown away by Golan’s performances of Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” and Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” during the final round of the competition, which contributed to Golan’s victory in every round of the competition.
