Slovenia: Plans on selection method will be announced On December 8!

According to reliable information, the final decisions on the representation of the country in the upcoming Eurovision 2023  will be made on December 8th.

Local media reports that the country’s state broadcaster, RTV Slovenija, will either follow the internal selection method or repeat the EMA, the established national final for the country’s representation in the competition.

Important, of course, is the fact that so far according to the official programming of RTV Slovenia, it has not been officially decided to hold a national final. The program and production plan is a fundamental document of the state body, which is approved annually by the Program Board of RTV Slovenia and defines the content that viewers, listeners, readers and other users of public media services will be able to watch. In this plan, among other things, the broadcasts of the entertainment program, such as the EMA and also the Eurovision Song Contest, are listed every year!

A few days therefore wait until the country’s official announcements on December 8th on how the country will select to bring the best possible result to Liverpool in 2023.

We remind you that this year’s winners of EMA 2022 and representatives of Slovenia at Eurovision 2022 were LPS with the song “Disko” who finished in the last place of the first semi-final:

Slovenia: “We shouldn’t even participate in Eurovision for years” says councilor of RTVSLO!

Sašo Hribar, councilor of Slovenia’s public broadcaster – RTVSLO, caused quite a stir at the last council meeting, by stating that they “should not participate in Eurovision for several years, because no one takes responsibility for poor rankings year after year”.

The Slovene news website novice.svet24 invited Vanja Vardjan, editor-in-chief of RTV Slovenia’s entertainment program, in a conversation about Eurovision and Slovenia’s relationship with it.

Slovenia: LPS’ Disko will remain in Slovenian!

The Slovenian broadcaster, RTVSLO, announced that LPS, Slovenia’s representatives in Turin, have decided to keep the song “Disko” in their native language!

LPS won EMA 2022 and therefore secured their ticket to Italy. Their journey started at EMA Freš, a qualifying event organised by RTVSLO for unestablished artists where they came second in the jury, giving them a qualification for the semi-finals of EMA 2022.

Their song “Disko” is entirely in Slovenian. The song was written by all five members of the band in August during a rehearsal at Gimnazija Celje – Center. In an interview with MMC, they revealed that they do not intend to change the lyrics, as they are based on several true events.

LPS’ victory was a surprise for them as well, with the band having rapid success in recent months. From a high school band, the five of them are now preparing for the stage in Turin. As they say, they haven’t thought much about the staging in Italy, but have been rehearsing a lot for EMA 2022. They also added that, above all, the plan is to enjoy the experience that is the Eurovision Song Contest.

Music is our way of life and performing at Eurovision will mean a lot to us.

LPS won EMA 2022 and therefore the right to represent Slovenia in Turin, you can listen to their entry here:
