3. Israel - Eddie Butler: "Together We Are One"

Israel isn't in Europe, but gets to compete because, come on, who doesn't love Israeli pop? The song is a generic "Wind Beneath My Winds"-type ballad, with Hebrew and English lyrics. Eddie Butler is a good singer, but the song is trite. Also, is it me or is it weird for Israel's song to have a gospel breakdown near the end? Decent crowd response, though.
