The Semifinals
The winners in the first four semi-finals were chosen in two rounds of televoting – the first round to decide the top 4, and the second round to decide the top 2 songs that would go directly to the final. The 3rd and 4th placed songs got another chance in the 5th semi-final, where there was just one round of televoting.
