Shows Semi-finals Voting in the semi-finals was done by a 10-member jury panel. Since songs introduced in semi-finals 8 or 9 could not get to the top 3 in 3 semi-finals and qualify for the final, the rules to qualify for the final were changed for semi-final 9. Songs had to receive at least 72.1 points, the average number of points that every song that qualified to the final got in their last semi-final. } After semi-final 1, Louis van Rymenant, Ann Soetaert's producer, filed a complaint against "Waar is de zomer" and "Wondermooi" for lasting over 3 minutes during the show, despite lasting under 3 minutes during rehearsals. The two songs were disqualified and the two songs tied for 4th place qualified instead. } Semi-final 2 was hosted by
Willem Duys, as Jan Theys was sick. } Louis Neefs was absent from semi-final 3 as he was in Berlin for a TV programme and would have been too ill to return to Brussels in time. } } } Semi-final 6 was not broadcast live like the other eight semi-finals. It was recorded on the 30th December and broadcast on the 31st. } } After semi-final 8, Louis Neefs withdrew "Alleen met z'n tweeën" as he wanted to participate with a different song in semi-final 9. } After the songs were performed, "Je naam" and "Hoor je dat hart" were disqualified for lasting longer than 3 minutes.
Final Even though eight songs qualified for the final, only seven songs took part, as Louis Neefs had decided to withdraw "Zij was zo mooi" in order not to run the risk of splitting his vote. Voting was done by a 15-member jury who each gave one point to their favourite song. Only three of the songs registered any points on the board. } == At Eurovision ==
