Орналасқан жері
1999 жылғы байқау Израильдің Иерусалим қаласында өтті, себебі ел "Diva" әнімен, орындаушысы Дана Интернешнл болған, бұрынғы байқауда жеңіс одіс еткен еді. Израильде бұл байқау екінші рет ұйымдастырылды, алғашқысы да Иерусалимде өткен болатын. Таңдалған орын – Халықаралық конгресс орталығының Уссишкин аудиториясы, еврей тілінде Binyenei HaUma деп белгілі, ол Израильдің бұрынғы байқауды өткізу орны ретінде таңдалған еді. Израильдің байқауды өткізуі елдегі православиелік еврей қауымының наразылығын тудырды, тіпті Иерусалимнің вице-мэрі Хайм Миллер қалада байқау өткізілуіне қарсы шықты. Іс-шараны қаржыландыру туралы қосымша алаңдаушылықтар байқау Мальтаға немесе Ұлыбританияға көшірілуі мүмкін деген болжамдарға себеп болды, өйткені бұл елдер өткен жылы Израильмен бірге үштікке кірген еді. Дегенмен, Израиль үкіметінің берген қаржылық кепілдіктері байқау Израильде өтуіне мүмкіндік берді. Іс-шараны ашық ауада өткізу мүмкіндігі де талқыланды, бірақ қауіпсіздік мәселелері іс-шара үшін жабық орынды таңдауға әкеп соқты.
The 1999 contest took place in Jerusalem, Israel, following the country's victory at the with the song "Diva", performed by Dana International. It was the second time that Israel had staged the contest, following the also held in Jerusalem. The selected venue was the Ussishkin Auditorium of the International Convention Centre, commonly known in Hebrew as Binyenei HaUma , which also served as the host venue for Israel's previous staging of the event. The prospect of Israel staging the contest resulted in protest by members of the Orthodox Jewish community in the country, including opposition by the deputy mayor of Jerusalem Haim Miller to the contest being staged in the city. Additional concerns over funding for the event also contributed to speculation that the contest could be moved to Malta or the United Kingdom, the nations which had finished in the top three alongside Israel the previous year. Financial guarantees by the Israeli government however helped to ensure that the contest would take place in Israel. The possibility of holding the event in an open air venue was discussed, however concerns over security led to the choice of an indoor venue for the event.
