Qualifying from the semifinals when performing out of the second spot in the running order is also a very rare occurrence, in 2014 for example neither song performed second (Latvia in semi 1 and Israel in semi 2) advanced to the final, and both finished near the bottom of their respective semis. 1957 winner Corry Brokken was the first victim of this phenomenon when she performed second in the 1958 contest on home ground in Hilversum and finished last. The only times a second-spot performer has done well was second in 1965 and equal third in both 1997 and 2002.
