Slovenia: Almost 206,000 viewers watched EMA 2025!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Slovenian national final has returned as a selection process after a two-year absence, and the country’s audience seems to have responded positively, as the viewing figures are quite satisfactory.

In detail, RTVSLO, the country’s public broadcaster, announced that 206,500 viewers watched the final live on TV SLO 1, reaching a percentage as high as 24%. In total, over 514,000 viewers watched at least one minute of the broadcast, while the largest number of viewers watching simultaneously was 267,000 viewers.

The young audience was also increased, as viewers aged 15-34 were seven times more likely to watch TV SLO 1 at that time slot, compared to the whole month of January.

However, the numbers are relatively lower than the last time that EMA took place, in 2022, by 3% and by approximately 28,300 viewers.

Slovenia will be represented by Klemen at Eurovision 2025 with the song “How Much Time Do We Have Left” and will compete in the first half of the first semi-final on May 13:

Round 1

The result was determined through two rounds of voting.

In the first round, a jury panel evaluated all 12 competing entries and selected the top two songs to advance to the final round. The jury panel consisted of 5 committees from specific groups, which voted in the same method as in Eurovision:

  • Music jury (singers, musicians, producers, songwriters creators etc.): 12 points awarded to Klemen 
  • Television jury (editors, presenters, directors, choreographers etc.) 12 points awarded to Klemen 
  • Radio jury (radio editors, journalists, presenters, etc.): 12 points awarded to Klemen 
  • OGAE Slovenia jury: 12 points awarded to July Jones
  • International Eurovision influencer jury (bloggers, vloggers, online journalists etc.):  12 points awarded to July Jones 

The two acts that advanced to the second and final round were the following:

  • July Jones – New Religion
  • Klemen – How Much Time Do We Have Left

The jury’s detailed results were as follows:

Round 2

In the final round, the two artists performed again, with the Slovenian public having the final say on who would represent the country at Eurovision 2025.

During the voting process, Ana Soklič, Slovenia’s representative at Eurovision 2020 and 2021, took the stage alongside Soul Crew to perform “Silvia”.

She was followed by Lea Sirk, the country’s 2018 Eurovision representative, as well as Urban Koritnik and Filip Vidušin, two members of the band LPS, which represented Slovenia in the 2022 contest. Together, they delivered a rendition of Slovenia’s 1993 Eurovision entry, “Tih deževen dan”.

Lastly, the two hosts, Raiven and Štras, performed “Zaljubila” along with a rendition of “Zažarim”, the song Raiven competed with in the country’s national final in 2017.

Ultimately, Klemen emerged victorious with his song “How Much Time Do We Have Left”, securing his place as Slovenia’s representative in Basel.
