How does the "Big 5 + Host" System Work ? 

The best players in terms of points are exempt from applications and are given the treat of Just choosing a song and choosing what half of their semi they want to take part in.

 The Players marked in Green are the ones that are currently in the Big 5. Any Players marked in Red have withdrawn from the present edition, and players marked in Yellow are also guaranteed a place In The Big 5 For a special reason. Any Player(s) marked in Bold are exempt as they are the current winner(s), and get auto-qualification to the final.
