Tonight: National final in FYR Macedonia

Tonight, the national final of Skopje Fest 2010, the Macedonian pre-selection to determine the country's representative at this year's Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Oslo, will be held. 14 acts will compete for the honour of representing FYR Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest.

The Show

The show will be broadcast on MKRTV- Channel One and on MKRTV SAT and will start at 20:30 CET. 28 songs competed in the two semi finals and out of them, 14 were chosen to compete for the  Macedonian ticket to Oslo in tonight's national final.  All songs have to be sung in Macedonian language. Tonight's show programme will start with performances of former Macedonian Junior Eurovision Song Contest entrants. Later on, there will be two of this year's Eurovision Song Contest representatives of other countries performing as interval acts, namely Bosnia and Herzegovina's Vukasin Brajic and Albania's Juliana Pasha. The show programme will be concluded with a mini concert of Macedonian superstar Karolina, the only artist so far who managed to represent the country twice at the Eurovision Song Contest, in 2002 and 2007.

The voting

The results will be decided by a mixture of televoting and jury voting, each of them having a stake of 50% in the outcome. The televoting will start at the beginning of the first song and will finish 15 minutes after the end of the last song. Televoting is possible by calling in or sending an SMS. However, the voting will be confined to five times (including calling in and sending an SMS) per telephone number per song. Citizens from Australia, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey can also vote via SMS in the semi finals, as well as in the final.

Interviews

Esctoday.com has spoken to some of the Macedonian finalists:

In 2009, FYR Macedonia was represented by Next Time, who reached 10th place in the first semi final with their song Nesto shto kje ostane, but narrowly missed out on qualifying to the final due to the jury favouring Finland to get the 10th qualifying spot for the final.

I actually like maja's song. I believe it shows a very modern side to macedonia's taste in music.
Believe she'll have an awesome performance if she goes to oslo...
however, im not familiar with her so she could also fail

Ok, this is a bit strange. Apparently the story is now open and everybody could win. Don't know if they'll keep the same jury or not. We'll see tonight.
