The last major Eurovision 2025 qualifying phase is about to begin. It was this Thursday, May 15 from 9 PM, that the second semifinal of the competition will take place at the Halle Saint-Jacques de Basel, in Switzerland. In France, tonight will be broadcast live on France 4, TNT Channel 14 and in the official YouTube account of Eurovision. And unlike the first, French spectators can vote.
To do this, several possibilities: You can download the official Eurovision application in which the procedure will be indicated, go to the official website www.esc.vote Or follow the indications transmitted on the screen during the night, if any. Everyone can Vote up to 20 times; As always, he does not have to vote for the candidate of his own country.
Expected service
If the French could not vote during the first semifinal, it is due to somewhat complex rules. During the semifinals, only the spectators of the countries that occur during the night are taken to vote. And it is during this Thursday night that Louane, representative of France, will play his song Mother.
However, his candidacy will not be subject to this night vote because his qualification for the final is already sure. This is the case, every year, of the 5 large countries (the five largest financial taxpayers in the competition, of which France is a part) and the host country, this Swiss year.
Second skim
On the night of the grand final, the result comes from the votes of the spectators and those of the international jurors. During the semifinals, only spectators are taken to vote.
Sixteen countries will compete with each other during this second semifinal, and ten of them will get their ticket for the final. There will be 26 this Saturday to compete on the stage of the Eurovision final.
