She then got another chance when her duet partner since several years, Noa, was offered the ticket in 2009 and insisted that Mira Awad should join her.</p><p>Here we will learn all the details about this historic participation which was considered controversial in both camps and how she dealt, and still deals, with the criticism.</p><br><p>Legend: Mira Awad מירה עווד ميرا عوض‎</p><br><p>Song: <em>There Must Be Another Way </em>(Israel 2009)</p><br><p>Host:&nbsp;Emil Löfström</p><br><p>Contact:&nbsp;emil@schlagervannerna.se</p><br><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/eurovisionlegendspodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/eurovisionlegendspodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><br><p><a href="https://shows.acast.com/5ef9a2bf2a01c450649b1146" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http//www.eurovisionlegends.se</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
