The show consists of 2 stages. In round 1, the top 7 songs that received the most votes from the audience will go on to qualify to the next stage. Then, one of the songs that didn't make it through the first round will be selected to join them. This song will be chosen by a star-studded jury including Jean-Paul Gaultier, Amir, and Eurovision winners Marie Myriam and Duncan Laurence.
The 8 remaining songs will then compete in the second round of voting, where votes from the audience and the juries will both count for 50%.
The show will be broadcast live from Paris.
