I agree with Relyana. The contest looks more like an Olympic Music Contest now.
What is the next step? Introducing Quarter-finals?
I think that only a final is possible if only the top 10 will qualify for the edition next year and the rest have to wait two years to participate again. Only a final is dissapointing for the countries that end out of the top 10 every time they participate, but the current system is dissapointing for countries like Andorra, that failed to qualify for the final six times in a row.
