World Song Contest
when Music rules the World
Semi Finals
| 51 songs took part in the semi final of the 50th edition of the World Song Contest, and 31 went to the final, when Estonia and Indonesia didn't vote in time and were disqualified and finally it was decided that the three songs which came eleven in each heat all qualified, as for once there was no jury. With more than 50% of the highest possible score in heat C, Portugal was the clear winner of these semi finals, followed by Montenegro and Serbia. It has to be noticed that none of these songs managed to reach the top 3 in the final. They were all beaten by songs which did lower in these semi finals, including New Zealand, which only reached the 9th position in Heat C or Brazil, 5th in Heat A. |
