[[Monaco]]'s entry in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2004]] in [[Istanbul]] was the first after a twenty-five-year break. They were represented by Maryon with the song "Notre planète".
[[Monaco]] participated in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2004]] with the song "Notre planète" written by Philippe Bosco and Patrick Sassier. The song was performed by Maryon, who was internally selected by the Monégasque broadcaster [[Télé Monte-Carlo]] (TMC), which returned to the Eurovision Song Contest after a twenty-five-year absence, to represent Monaco in the 2004 contest in [[Istanbul]], Turkey. The selection of Maryon and "Notre planète" as the Monégasque entry was announced on 22 February 2004.


Monaco competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2004. Performing during the show in position 9, "Notre planète" 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 Monaco placed nineteenth out of the 22 participating countries in the semi-final with 10 points.

It was announced that the competition's format would be expanded to include a semi-final in 2004. According to the rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country, the "[[Big Four (Eurovision)|Big Four]]" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) and the ten highest placed finishers in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2003|2003]] contest are required to qualify from the semi-final on 12 May 2004 in order to compete for the final on 15 May 2004; the top ten countries from the semi-final progress to the final. On 23 March 2004, an allocation draw was held which determined the running order for the semi-final and Monaco was set to perform in position 9, following the entry from [[Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004|Malta]] and before the entry from [[Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004|Greece]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bakker |first=Sietse |date=23 March 2004 |title=Eurovision 2004: this is the running order! |url=http://esctoday.com/2382/eurovision_2004_this_is_the_running_order/ |access-date=30 August 2021 |website=Esctoday}}</ref> At the end of the semi-final, Andorra was not announced among the top 10 entries in the semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final.

Because of Monaco's absence from the contest, they had to compete in the semi-final (incidentally this was the first televised Eurovision semi-final).

Monaco participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "Notre planète" written by Philippe Bosco and Patrick Sassier. The song was performed by Maryon, who was internally selected by the Monégasque broadcaster Télé Monte-Carlo (TMC), which returned to the Eurovision Song Contest after a twenty-five-year absence, to represent Monaco in the 2004 contest in Istanbul, Turkey. The selection of Maryon and "Notre planète" as the Monégasque entry was announced on 22 February 2004.

Monaco competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2004. Performing during the show in position 9, "Notre planète" 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 Monaco placed nineteenth out of the 22 participating countries in the semi-final with 10 points.

Background

Main article: Monaco in the Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2004 contest, Monaco has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest twenty-one times since its first entry in 1959. The nation has won the contest once (in 1971 with the song "Un banc, un arbre, une rue" performed by Séverine), making them the only microstate to have won the contest to date.[1] Monaco has also placed last on two occasions: in 1959 and 1965 which also received nul points.[2] Since 1980, Monaco did not participate in the contest for financial reasons and lack of interest.[3]

The Monégasque national broadcaster, Télé Monte-Carlo (TMC), broadcasts the event within Monaco and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. On 15 October 2003, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) confirmed that Monaco would participate in the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest following a twenty-five-year absence.[4] All Monégasque entries were selected by TMC through an internal selection, a method that was continued for their 2004 participation.[5]

Before Eurovision

Internal selection

Maryon was internally selected to represent Monaco in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004

The Monégasque entry for the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest was selected internally by TMC.[5] Female performers residing in Monaco, Corsica or South-Eastern France were able to apply by submitting a cover of a song, preferably in French, between 24 January 2004 and 14 February 2004.[6] "Prenez soin de notre planéte" (later retitled as "Notre planéte") was announced as the Monégasque song on 31 January 2004, while 21 performers selected from 500 applicants auditioned in front of a ten-member jury panel on 21 February 2004 at the Stars'n'Bar in Monte Carlo where Maryon Gargiulo was selected to represent Monaco from four shortlisted candidates: Cindie Bruzzie, Elise Granier, Maryon Gargiulo and Sandra Betty. The audition was also attended by Monaco's Prince Albert who congratulated Maryon publicly upon her selection.[7][8] "Notre planéte" was written by Philippe Bosco and Patrick Sassier, and is a disco-themed song about the Mediterranean Sea and its need for protection.[9][10]
