2009 EMA - February 2009
Different formula for 2009 - Not the same result we hope!
RTVSLO have decided to change the way that their selection runs for 2009. There will be just the one semi final and the one final. The SemiFinal, to take place on 31st January in Ljubljana. The top 8 songs from this semi as chosen by 50/50 Televote and Jury will qualify for the final the following day on February 1st. There, the 8 songs will join 6 pre-selected songs from Ober Nader (2005), Eva Cerna ( Runner up in 07), Langa ( Runner up in 08), Alya and Rudi Bucar, Samuel Lucas and Cuki.
The final songs are listed below in the running order. The Semi Final is listed immediately below that with Qualifiers in Yellow. As Usual, click the link to hear the songs. The Voting is 50-50 Televote and Jury.

Slovenia have been in the contest since they entered the pre-selection in 1993. They have not always done too well, but the EMA has always been great value for money.
