This national final will start with two semifinals with 8 songs each. To vote, rate the songs in one or both semifinals individually. You also have the option to disclose your favorite song in that semifinal. The songs across all semifinals that received the highest ratings will move on to the grand final, in which voters will rank their favorite finalists.
