Monday, 06 May 2024

  As Eurovision week is unwinding ,this evening the Jury rehearsal show for the Semi Final 1 competing acts will take place in Malmo Arena. 

  The 15 competing acts will take the stage in addition with the pre-qualified finalists from Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom. All acts will perform entries which will be watched by the 18 national juries.

  The Jury show in the past edition was of significant importance as the jury votes counted as the 50% of the score with the rest 50% been deteremined by the televoting. Howerver, this no longer the case as the jury voting in the Semi-Finals this year will only be used unless a valid audience vote has not been recorded or needs to serve as  a valid voting results.
