Ten entries competed in each semi-final and the top six from each semi-final, as selected solely by a public vote, advanced to the final. Twelve entries competed in the final on 24 January where votes from six regional juries first selected the top six to advance to a second round. In the second round, votes from the public selected "Takes 2 to Tango" performed by Jari Sillanpää as the winner with 98,987 votes. Finland competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2004. Performing as the opening entry for the show in position 1, "Takes 2 to Tango" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Finland placed fourteenth out of the 22 participating countries in the semi-final with 51 points.
