As the first semi final will take place this saturday, I've decided to put the poll up today.

There will be 30 second snippets of each performance, which will be revealed in performing order on thursday,
and will also be released between 10.00 to 18.00 CET.

There will also be a 2.30 minute version of each song revealed on Saturday just some hours before the performance.
