The semis CAN work, it's just that we can do them better now than we could then. It was a bit of a mess back then because it was early in mappervision. We now have 47 participants which is more than Eurovision or Mappervision has ever had so I think that we will need semis really very soon because they're too many people. Also, there are troll songs, bad songs, good songs, songs that actually aren't really songs - we need semis to actually have a good proper competition and a good final. If it's too much work to do semis then we have 3 hard working people doing the contest, and maybe it's possible that 3 is simply too little to do semis. I think that if we need more help we could always get other competent people.
