The first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 will feature a diverse range of performers representing fifteen countries. Participating nations include Moldova, Sweden, Croatia, Greece, Portugal, Georgia, Italy, Finland, Montenegro, Estonia, Israel, Germany, Belgium, Lithuania, San Marino, and Serbia. Last year’s victor, Austrian singer Jochen “JJ” Luger, secured the win with his operatic ballad “Wasted Love” in Basel, Switzerland.
As the host country, Austria, along with the “Big Four” – France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom – automatically qualify for the grand final. Germany and Italy are also scheduled to perform in this initial semi-final. Furthermore, Austria, France, and the United Kingdom will compete in the subsequent semi-final, and will also retain the right to cast votes.
The ten highest-scoring countries from each of the two semi-finals will advance to the grand final. These rankings will be determined by a combination of public votes from viewers and listeners across the globe. The competition aims to identify the overall winner of the Eurovision Song Contest.
