LUMA would have been guaranteed qualifiers, I am 100% sure of that given the semi 1 lineup. And it was their only option this year to secure a good result imo, "Girls Can Do Anything" and "Mim Pravil" would have been in the borderline zone at best.
I never believed "Disko" would do much, not that it's a bad effort, but it's not remarkable enough for a country like Slovenia that historically has to go the extra mile to stand a chance of advancing.
At least, they are trying new things. But it's really frustrating when a missed opportunity occurs. "All In" is my most played entry of the year, I listen to it daily and have even set it as a ringtone. Too bad for me locals didn't care enough.
Most years, EMA gets some gems with potential, but people tend to like other stuff for some reason. Hence why RTVSLO has used weird formats for the show in the past I guess.
