The Semifinals
The Icelandic Semi-Finals were held at Fiskislóð 45 in Reykjavík, hosted by Garðar Thor Cortes & Brynhildur Guðjónsdóttir. The top 4 songs in the first two semi-finals (chosen by televoting) qualified for the final. As Silvía Nótt’s song was available to download on the internet shortly before the 3rd semi-final, it was decided that the top 5 songs in the 3rd semi-final would qualify for the final. The 5th placed songs from the first two semi-finals also qualified for the final as ‚wildcards‘.
