1. Natalija Verboten – Cry on my shoulder – 11694 votes (4.)
2. Monika Pučelj – Nič ne ustavi me – 2593 votes (5.)
3. Yuhubanda – #268;e zdaj odide� sama – 2478 votes (1.)
The number in parentheses indicates the song's place in the running order for the final. The finalists drew numbers after the results of the televoting were announced.
Jasmina Cafnik, Chantall Hartmann, Marijan Novina, Ana De�man and Yuhubanda still have a chance to participate in the final since en 'expert' jury will give wildcards to 4 songs that were not selected by televoting.
It was also revealed that the German singer/songwriter Chantal Hartmann was the only foreigner selected for EMA 04 semifinals among the 12 songs submitted by non Slovenians, not counting the band Number One whose singer is Italian.
