You can still have the five big contributors pre-qualify, as well as the previous winners. Should that be one of the big five you can check the votes and have the next best entry out the non-qualifiers; top five from each qualifier, to make a total of 21. That sounds like a sensible compromise.
A couple of the songs grew on me as I listened to them again, but the top four pretty much remained the top four through the whole process, though Norway & France gained on Estonia which itself gained so much I broke my rule for the first time and awarded them and Spain six points. Hear hear. Norway was just so much fun! And the singer was delightful.
Never had time to put together any Eurovision posts this year, but I can hopefully do something next weekend. I do want to do some posts about all the previous contests anyway. I shall definitely point people your way!
