Geographical note

Despite 100% televoting, Eastern Europe did not dominate this semi final, which is often claimed. Seven of the ten qualifiers are usually considered "Western" in the statistics. The three most "classic" voting blocs showed different results: Only one out of three former Yugoslav countries made the final and one out of two former USSR countries qualified. On the other hand, all three Nordic countries in this semi final (Finland, Sweden, Iceland) reached the final.
