Press conference to be held on Friday

Exclusive: EMA 2010 on February 20 and 21

RTVSLO has revealed the dates of the EMA semi-final and final exclusively to esctoday.com today. Unlike previous reports, Slovenia's annual national song contest will not take place during the first half of March. The semi-final (EMA Predizbor) will take place on February 20 and the final (EMA Izbor) will take place one day later as usual, on February 21. Further details will be announced tomorrow during a press conference organised by the broadcaster.

Three weeks ago, the the 14 selected songs and artists were revealed. During the semi-final all 14 songs will be presented to the audience and televoting will decide which songs will proceed to the final. It’s not known yet how many songs will be admitted to this year’s EMA final.

EMA 2010 will introduce a number of new features to the contest: for the very first time the winner will be decided by televoting only and all songs will be sung in the Slovene language - both in EMA and at the Eurovision Song Contest - in order to promote the Slovene language.

The following 14 acts and songs have been selected for this year's edition of EMA:

  1. Nina Pušlar - Dež
  2. Martina Šraj - Dovolj Ljubezni
  3. Zadnji Taxi - Franjo
  4. Vaso & D Plejbeks - Gremo na emo
  5. Petra Pečovnik - Iz Nevade
  6. Martina Feri - Le en dan
  7. Maro Vozelj - Maj si zrak
  8. Anz. Roka Žlindere & Kalamari - Narodnozabavni rock
  9. Sara Kobold - Od tod do Večnosti
  10. Brigita Šuler - Para me
  11. Ylenia Zobec - Priznam
  12. Langa - Roko di maj
  13. Manca Špik - Tukaj sem doma
  14. Saša Zamernik - Živim za zdaj

@ Layla
Yes for example that song is very good - ballad, those girls can be so different from nice ballad to cheap chalga and turbo folk song!! :D
For example this one is turbo folk, but it was very popular in the second part of 2009:

@ Layla
pimp hahahah :D
In those newspapers there was interwiev with this guy on the video and they asked him: Will you try for ESC maybe, coz they wanted to try earlier, I think he even composed some entries for Beovizija coz he is composer!! He answered: Maybe, who knows, if we find OK song for this year", but I'm a bit confused about that question coz officialy is comfirmed that insted of Beovizija one composer will write song for several singers!! So I don't know is it true!? :S

Don't worry, just because they are lesser known doesn't necessarily mean they are not good singers. ;)

Congratulations, RTVSLO! Going for Slovenian is a wise choice. As Little Imp has just wrote, it promotes variety and imo athenticity. This the way to go.

Slovene language in ESC? That's great! We need more songs in own language. I appreciate variety in ESC.
