Apr\u00e8s des mois d’attente, les 15 artistes du jour vont enfin pouvoir se produire sur LA sc\u00e8ne de de la Wiener Stadthalle pour tenter de d\u00e9crocher une des 10 places qui les emm\u00e8nera \u00e0 la finale de samedi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un bref rappel: cette ann\u00e9e, les jury font leur retour en demi-finale. Ainsi, chaque pays sera not\u00e9 \u00e0 la fois par le public par un t\u00e9l\u00e9vote, et par un jury de professionnels. We wrote an article about this.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deux pays qualifi\u00e9s d’office se produiront \u00e9galement (Germany <\/a>and Italy<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
