Hello everyone ....
This is in my view an important move to counter the issues that arose at this year's event. The comparatively smaller (much smaller) televote in the Semi Finals makes rooting out issues with the jury vote in these semi finals less easy to detect. By eliminating the jury vote the playing field is immediately levelled. Remember all of these votes go through Digame and irregularities identified with them quickly.
The problem we've now got is the nature of the 'additional country' non participants, international vote in the final, the hoops notably with the credit card validation process will skew that imo.
