At Eurovision

All countries except the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom), and the host country, are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 17 January 2011, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. [17] Bosnia and Herzegovina was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 12 May 2011, and was scheduled to perform in the first half of the show. The running order for the semi-finals was decided through another draw on 15 March 2011 and Bosnia and Herzegovina was set to open the show and perform in position 1, before the entry from Austria.

The two semi-finals and the final were broadcast in Bosnia and Herzegovina on BHT 1 with commentary by Dejan Kukrić. The Bosnian spokesperson, who announced the Bosnian votes during the final, was Ivana Vidmar.

Semi-final

Dino Merlin took part in technical rehearsals on 3 and 6 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 9 and 10 May. This included the jury show on 9 May where the professional juries of each country watched and voted on the competing entries.

The Bosnian performance featured Dino Merlin in a checked jacket and brown trousers, joined on stage by five backing vocalists who each played an instrument: contrabass, keyboard, banjo, tambourine and trumpet.

[19] [20] The five backing vocalists that joined Dino Merlin were: Aida Mušanović, Edvin Hadžić, Mahir Sulejmanović, Maya Sar and Nermin Puškar.

Shortly after the second semi-final, a winners' press conference was held for the ten qualifying countries. As part of this press conference, the qualifying artists took part in a draw to determine the running order for the final. This draw was done in the order the countries were announced during the semi-final. Bosnia and Herzegovina was drawn to perform in position 2, following the entry from Finland and before the entry from Denmark. [23]

Dino Merlin performed a repeat of his semi-final performance during the final on 14 May. At the conclusion of the voting, Bosnia and Herzegovina finished in sixth place with 125 points. [24]

Voting

Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding points from 1-8, 10 and 12 as determined by a combination of 50% national jury and 50% televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.

Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that Bosnia and Herzegovina had placed sixth with the public televote and eleventh with the jury vote in the final. In the public vote, Bosnia and Herzegovina scored 151 points, while with the jury vote, Bosnia and Herzegovina scored 90 points. In the second semi-final, Bosnia and Herzegovina placed second with the public televote with 131 points and eleventh with the jury vote, scoring 65 points. [25]
