The five-week Qualifiers rounds aired March 21, March 28, April 4, April 11 and April 18. At the end of each Qualifiers performance show, the national jury advanced one artist immediately to the Semi-Finals. The remaining three spots were then determined through a combination of votes from the jury and you at home.
The Semi-Finals took place over two weeks, airing April 25 and May 2. In those rounds, 11 acts performed an elevated performance of their original song each night. The round also featured a “redemption” song which added an eliminated artist back into the competition. At the end of each Semi-Final night, the jury awarded their highest-rated contestant with an immediate spot in the Grand Final, while America’s votes solely picked four other finalists.
The Grand Final is scheduled for Monday, May 9. That’s when the Top 10 participants will take the stage one last time in the hopes of winning enough viewer votes to earn the title of best hit song of 2022.
