PORTUGAL

The Portuguese Semi-Finals were held at the RTP TV Studios in Lisbon. Six songs in each semi-final qualified for the final in two rounds of voting - in the first round the top 5 were chosen by televoting (50%) & an "expert" jury (50%). In the second round one more song was selected by televoting. During the first round of voting in the 1st semi-final, the televoting line for Esse Povo had technical issues and therefore they were awarded an automatic 'wildcard' to the final.
