- Once per day, after the daily news program, an artist will perform his 2 songs live in front of the other artists in the selection.
- The daily show will be held at 19:40 CET
- The rest of the artists will advise the performer, which of the 2 songs to perform in the final.
- However, the performers will have their own right to pick the song for the final.
The host of the national selection will be Peter Van de Veire
Peter commented:
We have made a song club out of the artists; each artist performs their two songs to the other artists. The rest of the song club then give advice on which of the two songs they think is more suitable for the final. The artist can choose to follow the advice or decide for themselves.
The artists have noticed that they could hand each other victory. That is not so obvious in such a competition
