So here is the voting process for Luxembourg:
As anticipation builds for the Luxembourg Song Contest at Rockhal, viewers are gearing up for the competition that will determine Luxembourg's representative at the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö.

People seem annoyed here in Luxembourg that their song is going to be chosen mainly by 'outsiders' (50% votes = an international jury, 50% votes = audience from Luxembourg and abroad).
I get the irritation.
Much as I'd be happy if I could vote in every NF possible (let' be honest!), I think it's a wrong decision to open up the voting to an 'abroad audience' for this rather special ESC return.
RTL is having such a hard time getting the Luxembourgish/local public on board and interested in Eurovision again, so this really doesn't seem the best way to go… It's like we don't get to decide anything.
They already messed up the auditions with their 100% 'international jury' and not letting the artists sing their own songs. Now it seems like they are taking away even more of the Luxembourgish culture (and yes, there is one ;-) ).
But then again, I'm not sure how many people abroad (or even here) will take out their credit card and pay 0,99€ for casting a vote. We'll see.
I'm still very excited to see the show - and am hoping for the best outcome!
