The grand final of the 2017 EMA national selection took place and Omar Naber has taken the crown and will represent Slovenia for the second time at the Eurovision Song Contest with his charming ballad On My Way.

Eight acts competed –

  • Sell Out – Ni panike
  • Nuška Drašček – Flower In The Snow 
  • Tim Kores – Open Fire
  • Nika Zorjan – Fse
  • KiNG FOO – Wild Ride
  • Omar Naber – On My Way 
  • BQL – Heart Of Gold 
  • Raiven – Zažarim

Voting was a combination of televoting and jury. In second place was the boy duo BQL, who took the top marks with the televoting. Omar ironically represented Slovenia also in Kiev in 2005 with Stop.

The interval acts were last year’s Slovenian participant, ManuElla, Toni Cetinski (who represented Croatia at the 1994 Eurovision) and last year’s winning ESC act, Jamala, from Ukraine.
