Before Eurovision

EMA 2011

EMA 2011 was the 16th edition of the Slovenian national final format Evrovizijska Melodija (EMA). The competition was used by RTV Slovenija to select Slovenia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2011. Ten artists, invited by RTV Slovenija, competed in EMA 2011.

Final

EMA 2011 took place on 27 February 2011 at the RTV Slovenija studios in Ljubljana, hosted by Klemen Slakonja. The winner was selected over two rounds of voting. In the first round, a three-member jury panel selected two entries to proceed to the second round: "Vanilija" performed by Maja Keuc and "Ladadidej" performed by April. The jury consisted of Darja Švajger (singer, vocal coach and 1995 and 1999 Slovenian Eurovision entrant), Mojca Mavec and Severina (2006 Croatian Eurovision entrant). In the second round, a public vote selected "Vanilija" performed by Maja Keuc as the winner.

gollark: Only Turing and later have good enough on-chip processors to use it, apparently.
gollark: nvidia-open is quite funny, since they just moved all of the proprietary stuff to a giant tens-of-megabytes firmware blob.
gollark: I think we still just run on L1/2/3 caches, occasionally L4 things, then RAM, and possibly persistent-memory DIMMs or really fast NVMe disks.
gollark: I don't know all the magic semiconductory details, but higher voltage generally means more power, but is needed to maintain stability if you're switching things fast.
gollark: Yes. Modern CPUs can dynamically adjust their voltage based on how much work they're doing.
