EMA, Slovenia's vehicle for choosing their ESC representative took place on February 1 in Ljubljana with hosts Gregor Strasbergar and last years Raiven, who both wore .. let's say questionable outfits all evening. I could give you a huge run down on each act, but in the interest of keeping it fun, I'll share my one liner notes on each act of the night.
Anna - Cau. Teen lite bop where the most exciting thing is the dancing boys in tier PVC pants. shiny! this finished 9th
Zven - Divja. A bit of witchy ethno pop where some kind of exorcism happens in front of my very eyes 5th
PolarAce - Kind. Oh. i feel like i'm watching a church talent show. He's so sweet. but so bad. i can't say more. 10th
Astrid - Touche. I see what she was trying to do here. A rock vaudeville kind of number, but it's just messy in pretty much every way. 3rd
Jon Vitezic- Vse Ti Dam. . Serves up some edgy dark late night pop. It's all very monotone though. 7th
Kiki - O-Ou! Finally, some character. Something that actually stands out among this list of songs. I like this. 4th
Eva Pavli - Niti.. Gives an operatic ethno ballad, though that makes it sound way more interesting than it actually is. 8th
Klemen - How Much Time Do We Have Left? A very emotional and extremely touching song that hits right heart strings. You can tell this one is real. Super finalist
July Jones - New Religion. You know when you can just tell someone is solely a studio artist and a showgirl? This is a fine example of that. Super finalist.
Zan Videc - Pusti Da Gori. A bit of blues funk with little to no personality. 11th
Trine - Grace. A cruisy mid tempo number with some great lyrics, but very poorly executed. 12th
RAI - Fredericks Dead. Theatre rock! Fun! This works way better than it really should! 6th
Then we move to the superfinal with the two top scorers Klemen and July Jones performing again, before the voting opens for the second time. This time the votes are counted and the totals were
July Jones 4400
Klemen 8895
Klemen will be in Basel singing for Slovenia, and us all !
