Slovenia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Italy, with the song "Disko", written by Filip Vidušin, Žiga Žvižej, Gašper Hlupič, Mark Semeja, Zala Velenšek and Jakob Korošec and performed by LPS. The Slovenian entry for the 2022 contest was selected via a two-stage national final organised by the Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO). The first stage EMA Freš began on 29 November 2021 with the purpose of selecting four newcomer artists to advance to the second stage EMA 2022. The national final featured twenty entries competing across two semi-finals on 5 and 12 February 2022, and the final on 19 February 2022, where a combination of jury and public voting decided the Slovenian representative in Turin among twelve entries.
Slovenia was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2022. Performing during the show in position 5, "Disko" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Slovenia placed last out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with just 15 points.
Background
[edit]Prior to the 2022 contest, Slovenia had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest twenty-six times since its first entry in 1993.[1] Slovenia's highest placing in the contest, to this point, has been seventh place, which the nation achieved on two occasions: in 1995 with the song "Prisluhni mi" performed by Darja Švajger and in 2001 with the song "Energy" performed by Nuša Derenda. The country's only other top ten result was achieved in 1997 when Tanja Ribič performing "Zbudi se" placed tenth. Since the introduction of semi-finals to the format of the contest in 2004, Slovenia had thus far only managed to qualify to the final on six occasions. In 2021, Slovenia was represented by Ana Soklič with the song "Amen", which failed to qualify for the final, finishing in 13th place in the first semi-final with 44 points.
The Slovenian national broadcaster, Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTV Slovenija), broadcasts the event within Slovenia and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. RTV Slovenija confirmed Slovenia's participation in the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest on 15 September 2021.[2] The Slovenian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest has traditionally been selected through a national final entitled Evrovizijska Melodija (EMA), which has been produced with variable formats. To this point, the broadcaster has only foregone the use of the national final twice; in 2013 and in 2021 when the Slovenian entry was internally selected.
Before Eurovision
[edit]EMA Freš 2022
[edit]EMA Freš returned as the first phase for Slovenia's selection for the Eurovision Song Contest for the second time after its first appearance in 2020, with a revamped format from the first edition. Newcomer artists who were not more than 30 years old and had released a maximum of three songs were eligible to apply for EMA Freš via a submission period opened by RTVSLO on 8 October 2021. A total of 24 artists were selected to take part in the selection, which commenced on 29 November 2021.[3] After a series of nights, each showcasing a duel, 14 entries advanced to take part in the televised final on 28 January 2022. The remaining fourteen entries competed for four places in EMA 2022, two selected by public voting and two selected by a jury.[4]
Format
[edit]Twenty-four songs competed in a series of duels starting in November 2021 for four weeks. After the duels, the fourteen winning songs competed in a televised live final selection show, which took place on 28 January 2022. The selection show saw the remaining fourteen songs compete for four places in the emerging category of EMA 2022.[5]
After the four duels held each week (on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday), a weekly final was held on each Saturday where three out of the four weekly winners advanced: one selected via a public online vote and the other two by a committee composed of Joker Out singer Bojan Cvjetićanin, singer Eva Boto, who represented Slovenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, and rapper Arne Međedović. Non-qualifiers were given a second chance on the following week (20 to 24 December), when one more act was chosen among three every day, for a total of fourteen finalists.
On 28 December 2021, Radiotelevizija Slovenija revealed that over 48,000 votes were cast during the online voting rounds of EMA Freš between 29 November and 24 December. The full results were revealed after EMA 2022 on 20 February 2022.[6][7]
The 14 remaining entries were then originally meant to compete in two final selection shows, in which two entries would qualify from each show.[8] However, on 12 January 2022, it was revealed by RTVSLO that all 14 entries would compete in one show on 28 January 2022 due to programming issues and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in Slovenia at the time. The final saw four songs qualify for EMA 2022, with two songs chosen by the public and two by the jury.[9]
Competing entries
[edit]Artists and composers were able to submit their entries to the broadcaster between 8 October 2021 and 22 November 2021.[10] All artists were required to be under the age of 30 and have three commercially released songs or fewer. Two days after the closing of the submission window, RTVSLO announced a total of 127 applications had been received for both competitions.[11] The competing artists for EMA Freš were announced on 26 November 2021, along with which songs would compete in each duel.[12] Among the competing composers was Josip-Cole Moretti , who represented Slovenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 1993 as member of the 1X Band, and Raay, who represented Slovenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 as member of Maraaya.

EMA 2022
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/EMA_2017_Stage.jpg/250px-EMA_2017_Stage.jpg)
EMA 2022 was the twenty-fourth edition of Slovenia's annual national final for the Eurovision Song Contest EMA. After RTVSLO internally selected Slovenia's entrant in 2021, the broadcaster confirmed the return of the selection process on 8 October 2022. The event consisted of two semi-finals, which were held on 5 and 12 February 2022, and a grand final on 19 February 2022 at the Gospodarsko razstavišče in Ljubljana. The venue previously hosted the EMA final in 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2017. All shows were hosted by Melani Mekicar and Bojan Cvjetićanin, with Nejc Šmit reporting live from the green room in the final.[36] The competition was broadcast on TV SLO 1, Radio Val 202, Radio Koper, Radio Maribor and online via the broadcaster's RTV 4D platform.
Prior to the final on 19 February 2022, RTVSLO also broadcast a video analysis of all performances in a podcast hosted by Jaka Dolinšek, Eva Beus and Marko Crnković.[42]
A live after-party and analysis of the results was also broadcast on TV SLO 2 with green room host Nejc Šmit following the final.[43]
Format
[edit]Upon announcing the return of EMA for 2022, RTVSLO revealed that, for the first time since 2017, the event would be held over three evenings. Twenty artists participated in two live semi-finals, with four newcomer acts chosen via EMA Freš and sixteen established acts chosen via a submission period opened by Radiotelevizija Slovenija in October 2021. In each semi-final, eight established artists and two newcomer (EMA Freš) artists competed to advance to the final. Public voting selected three finalists and a jury selected another three. In the final, five five-member juries (50%) and public voting (50%) decided which of the 12 finalists would represent Slovenia in Turin.
Competing entries
[edit]RTVSLO opened a submission period between 8 October 2021 and 22 November 2021 for artists and composers to submit their entries. All applicants were required to be at least sixteen years old on 1 February 2022, and the main performer (or at least half of the main performers in multi-performance ensembles) of the submitted composition must have permanent or temporary residence in the Republic of Slovenia.[44] Two days after the closing of the submission window, RTVSLO announced a total of 127 applications had been received for both competitions.[11] An expert jury panel consisting of Maja Keuc, Matjaž Vlašič, Žiga Pirnat, Maša Kljun and Žiga Klančar selected sixteen established acts to progress to EMA 2022. The first sixteen established competing acts were revealed on 19 December 2021, with the final newcomer four acts selected via EMA Freš on 28 January 2022.[45] Among the competing acts were BQL, who participated in both EMA 2017 and EMA 2018 and finished as runners-up respectively, and Slovene-British performer July Jones, who wrote "Kaos" for Raiven which finished second in EMA 2019. Among the competing songwriters were Maraaya, who won EMA 2015 and represented Slovenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015. Raay also wrote the EMA 2014 winning song and Slovenian Eurovision entry "Round and Round" for Tinkara Kovač and wrote the Slovenian Junior Eurovision entries in both 2014 and 2015.

Promotion
[edit]LPS made several appearances across Europe and in Slovenia to specifically promote "Disko" as the Slovenian Eurovision entry. The band first performed at the Eurovision in Concert at Amsterdam's AFAS Live on 9 April, which was hosted by Edsilia Rombley and Cornald Maas.[59] Having made several appearances across Slovenian television, the band travelled to Zagreb, Croatia where they appeared on the Zvijezde pjevaju show alongside the Serbian entrant Konstrakta on 16 April 2022.[60][61]
On 11 April 2022, an accompanying music video was released by the band and was uploaded to the Eurovision YouTube channel.[62] On 9 May 2022, the day before the first semi-final, the band released an English language version of the song.[63]
At Eurovision
[edit]![Civita di Bagnoregio in the Province of Viterbo was the location of LPS' postcard.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Civita_%28Bagnoregio%29_-_Panorama.jpg/220px-Civita_%28Bagnoregio%29_-_Panorama.jpg)
According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 25 January 2022, an allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. Slovenia was placed into the first semi-final, which was held on 10 May 2022, and was scheduled to perform in the first half of the show.[64]
Once all the competing songs for the 2022 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. Slovenia was set to perform in position 5, following the entry from Switzerland and before the entry from Ukraine.[65]
In Slovenia, the semi-finals were broadcast on TV SLO 2 and the final was broadcast on TV SLO 1, with commentary by Andrej Hofer . The first semi-final and the final were also broadcast on Radio Maribor , Radio Val 202 and on RTVSLO's 4D platform, with commentary by Maruša Kerec .[66][67][68][69] The Slovene spokesperson, who announced the top 12-point score awarded by the Slovenian jury during the final, was Lorella Flego, who previously announced the points for Slovenia in both 2012 and 2021.[70]
Semi-final
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Eurovision_2022_-_Semi-final_1_-_Slovenia_-_LPS.jpg/220px-Eurovision_2022_-_Semi-final_1_-_Slovenia_-_LPS.jpg)
LPS took part in technical rehearsals on 30 April and 4 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 9 and 10 May. This included the jury show on 9 May where the professional juries of each country watched and voted on the competing entries.
The Slovenian performance featured LPS scattered across the stage encircling a giant disco ball, with drummer Gašper Hlupič positioned above the disco ball on a tall black drum kit. The band members were dressed in 1960s inspired suits with burgundy being the predominant colour theme of the performance. The camera work was carried out in a way that rotated around the disco ball and band members for the entirety of the Slovenian show.[71]
At the end of the show, Slovenia was not announced among the top 10 entries in the first semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final. This was the second consecutive absence of Slovenia from the final, having last appeared in 2019. It was later revealed that Slovenia placed seventeenth (last) in the semi-final, receiving a total of just 15 points: 8 points from the televoting and 7 points from the juries. This marked Slovenia's worst Eurovision performance since 2013 and the second time the nation finished in last place in the semi-final.
Voting
[edit]Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Slovenia during the first semi-final. Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting.[72] The exact composition of the professional jury, and the results of each country's jury and televoting were released after the final; the individual results from each jury member were also released in an anonymised form.[73][74] The Slovenian jury consisted of Alenka Godec, Arne Međedović , Gaber Radojevič, Lucija Harum, and Tilen Artač .[73][74] In the first semi-final, Slovenia finished in seventeenth place out of seventeen entries, marking Slovenia's first last place finish in a Eurovision semi-final since 2013 attaining only 15 points. Over the course of the contest, Slovenia awarded its 12 points to Lithuania (jury) and Croatia (televote) in the first semi-final, and to Italy (jury) and Serbia (televote) in the final.[75][76]
