Today in Azerbaijan’s national final, it was time for Milli Seçim Turu’s final show in the first heat. The nine competitors had their last chance in "to be or not to be" battle which was won by the current leader Orhan Kerimli.
This evening’s show started with the introduction of a few well-known names by host, Hüsniye Maharramova, who announced the Azeri votes at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2009.
Surprisingly, the guest of the day was Nigar Jamal. As this year Azerbaijan is hosting the Eurovision Song Contest, Nigar (Nikki), who won with Eldar (Ell), happily advertised her new album and of course the new video. It was also mentioned that Eldar had wanted to join her on the stage, but unfortunately he had a very busy schedule. We were able to watch her newest video, Crush on You.
The final day in the first heat finally kicked off with the performances in the order below:
• Ramin Guliyev
• Janana Zeinalova
