This morning Australia time, the second semi-final of Spain's Eurovision national selection Benidorm Fest was held.


Eight songs competed to move onto the Grand Final on February 2 Australia time.


This year has seen changes in voting at Benidorm Fest.


The jury, consisting of four Spaniards and four international members, contributed to 50% of the result.


The Polling panel replaces the Demoscopic jury. The results of the panel are collected from an app-based survey - essentially voting by the Benidorm Fest app. This makes up 25% of the results.


The final 25% of the results is made up of telephone calls and SMS votes.


Another change to Benidorm Fest result is the presentation of the semi-final results.


In previous years viewers could see the specific number of points each semi-finalist received.


However now the four finalists were revealed in a random order, with their points hidden from the viewers. This is to add excitement in the Grand Final.


First the jury announced who their top four entries were. They were:

  • Melody - Esa diva

  • J Kbello - VIP

  • Mel Ömana - I'm a Queen

  • Mawot - Raggio di sole


The top four of the public were then announced. They were:

  • J Kbello - VIP

  • DeTeresa - La pena

  • Melody - Esa diva

  • Mel Ömana - I'm a Queen


The four finalists that qualified to the weekend's Grand Final were:

  • Melody - Esa diva

  • J Kbello - VIP

  • Mel Ömana - I'm a Queen

  • Mawot - Raggio di sole


This means these four acts were eliminated:

  • Henry Semler - No lo ves

  • DeTeresa - La pena

  • Carla Frigo - Bésame

  • Celine Van Heel - La casa
