Ema 04: Predizbor 02 (second semifinal) has finished and we have three new finalists for EMA 04 which will determine Slovenian representative for this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Istanbul. Natalija Verboten (pictured) won with a huge margin.

Hardly a surprise, the televoting decided that the following artists and songs proceed to the EMA final on 16th February:

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.

The next semifinal with 8 new songs and 3 new seats for the final takes place next Sunday, 25th February. Stay tuned!
