The last 4 semifinalists display an array of diverse and unique talents, which are equally impressive as their singer and magician counterparts. Bolivia with a well-choreographed dance routine accompanied by the Rihanna track “Where have you been?”, Croatia who performed gymnastics routines on rings, horizontal bars, and the floor, Czech Republic with a fantastic display of dance routine, going from modern dance music into a Latin American sound, and Venezuela who performed a Karate routine whilst playing drum.

Wales

Two contestants, however, are yet to perform their talent. Netherlands is an accomplished piano player, but sadly the audition room did not have a piano. After showing the judges some video clips of his playing skills, he has been given the chance to take a separate audition in the near future, whereas Russia wants to use his film making skills as his talent. The judges are waiting to see his film which he is finishing the production on, and will be given the verdict later on as well. So they may be added to the shortlist if the judges are duly impressed.
