The ranking of the artists can be found below, together with the song they sang tonight.

That means Petra, Yass, Tisha Cyrus and Axeela have qualified for the semifinals. They can now start looking for their perfect Eurovision entry. Day One, Sil, Bandits and Mister Jones will have to prove themselves oncemore in next week’s callback.
Former Eurovision entrants Aelia, who were part of 2003 entrants Urban Trad, failed to impress the jury and were eliminated tonight. Day One was the most discussed act this week, as they did not reveal their identities. Rumour has it Kate Ryan, who represented Belgium in 2006, was behind the mask of the vocalist.
