As in previous editions, 7 candidates from each semi-final will make it through to the Grand Final which is set to take place on Friday. This year, however, the decision will be made by a mix of professional jury panel and public vote. Today’s qualifiers will join the ones from the First Semi-Final completing the 14 acts that will fight at the Albanian final.
