Quote:In the event that Australia should win the Eurovision Song Contest, the EBU had confirmed that in accordance with the rules, Australia would not host the event in the southern hemisphere, and instead would co-host the contest in Europe.[6] Further to the EBU's statement it was confirmed that Germany and their broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) would be the first choice, and United Kingdom's broadcaster British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) being the back-up hosts should Germany decline.[6]
So we're done with the second semi, Australia, Denmark, Hungary (wtf), Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Serbia, Slovenia, Sweden and Ukraine qualified.
I'd prefer to exchange Australia and Hungary with Poland and Montenegro but hey, such is the way of Eurovision. Generally though, first semi had much better acts.
