During the second and last semifinal heat of the Junior Nationaal Songfestival, which took place Saturday night in the Amsterdam Pepsi Stage venue, Anouk (11) and Danny (8) were selected as final participants.

Anouk received 12 points from the professional jury and the kids' jury and 10 points from the televoters. Danny received 10 points from the professionals, the minimum of 6 from the kids' jury and 12 points from the televoters.

This weeks final ranking:

1. Anouk (34 points)
2. Danny (28 points)
3. 4 Flying Elements (24 points)
4. Kika (22 points)
5. Denise (21 points)

Anouk her song Over en uit (It's over) and Danny's song Van zingen word ik blij (Singing makes me happy) both continue to next week's final, in which five songs participate. Last week, Shakira with Dansen in Afrika (Dancing in Africa) and Marnix with Het aller, aller, aller grootste hart (The biggest, biggest, biggest heart) were chosen.

As planned, the jury gave away one wildcard. Klaartje & Nicky were chosen to perform their song Hij is een kei (He's great) in the final. It might be interesting to know that host Angela Groothuizen declared the two girls as winners last week by mistake. A wildcard for Klaartje & Nicky to heal the pain?
