They stopped doing that a few years ago when the number of countries increased.
Basically the 'big 5': UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, and the host country are the only ones that qualify.
There are two semis with around 18-19 countries that then sing for 10 spots available from each one.
Waterline is a lot worse than Lipstick, they may get through but won't do as well as last year.
EDIT
They scraped through their semi in 8th, I wonder if they may not even get through it this year!
