Semifinals

3 semifinals supported the first part of this edition. The first semi had 13 countries participating, and the last 2 semis, took 12 contestants, each one. As this was the first edition, anybody was yet in final, so, the semifinals took all the participants that were trying to be qualifiers. A lot of kinds of music were taken by the players. From "House" to "RnB", the songs were played and the contest was very great, according to the most part of the players. The reason that made the manager took 3 semifinals, instead of 2, was that he wanted to take this contest attractive and original.

Final

As  Russia didn't vote because the player withdraw from the contest, 36 participants voted in the contest. 25 countries were placed at final and 12 countries didn't pass the semifinal elimination. The final mixed a lot of music and some voters classified as "hard to vote", just due to this variety, that was good. A recap was made to present in a 10 minute video, all the finalists - Some voters used this way to vote - Maybe they knew all songs.
