Unlike in previous editions in which the points awarded were a combination of 50% national juries and 50% televoting, from 2016 onwards only the professional juries would be taken into account, bringing an end to the use of televoting for the first time. The Kids Jury votes will be announced by a spokesperson, followed by the jury votes from each participating country." Yeah, no more televoting. Also...we have more ballads then ever but thank god we have some childish songs this year (thanks Belarus, Cyprus, Macedonia, Netherlands and Serbia). Armenia, Israel, Malta and Poland seem to have just released heir songs so I have no idea if they are ballads or not. I'm surprised that Georgia has a ballad this year o.O We're waiting on Ireland right now for their entry. Ah that's annoying, and very difficult to do. Melodifestivalen-inspired, huh?
