All of the 36 acts will take part in live auditions, where a jury of music professionals will judge each song based on their originality, melody and how well the singer has performed the song. The jury members will award each song a score from 0 to 12. After the audition round, it is unsure whether a winner will be decided then and there, or whether they will have more audition rounds until they chose a winner.
