Tonight: Semi final in Azerbaijan
The show
The show to be broadcast in ITV will start at 17:00 CET (20:00 local time) and it will be hosted at the Buta Palaca in Baku. Six acts will perform one song each and a jury will select three of them to compete in the national final, which is expected to be held at the end of February. However, the televised national selection is primarly a performer selection as the song performed by the winner might well be replaced by another entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010.

Ofcourse these couldn't be OSLO's song, as all the songs are written by azeri composers, as they haven't heard their nieghbours' songs!!!!! But Finaly some singers-candidates will get their own songs as some of them don't have their own songs and are just singing plagiatic songs!!!!!!!
oh wow
so even if the song wins
it might not be the actual Eurovision song?
i was going to watch, but as its 4pm here, i'll only just be leaving uni, and i won't be home until 5
I will watch it today.
I will try to watch it. The performers don't seem that interesting though and it sucks that they might change the song later on.
first time i will watch a national final.. it's really worth to watch..
good luck azerbaycan
bol şans
Oh, I will miss this one. Won't be home so soon. Good luck, Azerbaijan!
Should be good!
