The Semis
In 2009, 2 live qualifiers were held before the Eurovision Contest itself. In these semi finals, all the countries except the 'Big 4' and the hosts, Russia, competed for the remaining 20 places in the final. Countries voted in their own semi, and the 5 finalists were required to vote in 1 semi, decided by a draw. The top 10s were announced in random order, the top 9 decided by the televotes, and the final qualifier was the entry with the next highest score from the jury votes.
- Where?
The 2008 Semi Finals will be held in Moscow, Russia.
- When? Tuesday 12th and Thursday 14th May, 2008.
- Who? The presenters were crap.
- Winner? We'll have to wait and see.
Semi 1 - Tuesday 12th May
