Yeah, now i need her to qualify. The song is not my cup of coffee at all, but i want her in. Don't give up hope and vote instead! If the commentators say that Montenegro came back and got a death slot, there will be people who will react to that.

The song isn't my cup of tea either, but I don't strongly dislike it. It's ok. I'd rather it qualified to the final than some of the other muck in SF2 (Ireland, Armenia, Australia)

An absolutely sensational piece right there. Given it's Marija Magdalena, there wasn't much room to go wrong but she delivered big with that

Could this be a shock Q? The song is nothing to write home about but it's quite competently presented. Also seen a bit of sympathy for them getting the death slot so the fans might then come out and support it.

Meh, I don´t think so. If you don´t really like a song you won´t suddenly support it only because you have "sympathy" with her.
And we shouldn´t forget that
doesn´t really have a strong voter base, in this semi there´s only on their side and back in 2022 they finished last in all televotes outside of former .

Sadly, it is a fake new by Eurovoiox, the fake account pretending to be Eurovoix's account.

I think Slovenia and Croatia have more chances than montenegro. Slovenia because its the only competing ballad in its semi and Croatia because of its running order.
What about Albania and Greece ?

I sort of want Montenegro to do well this year - I'm not prepared to lose another country. Plus I'm visiting just after ESC so am interested in all things Montenegrin at the moment

Today it was turn at the ESC kompakt songchecks 2025.
esc-kompakt.de
The verdict of the bloggers:
Chris - Technically, everything's sound. And live, the James Bond-esque revamp seems to have brought some improvement. But the song is just a bit too bland for top marks.
Giulia - A typically melancholic, emotive, yet languid ballad from the Balkans. I still have a relatively good grasp of the song, but unfortunately I've already heard something like that countless times at the Eurovision Song Contest. It doesn't add any freshness to the Eurovision Song Contest.
Laureen - A beautiful song. A nice song. Unfortunately, it doesn't resonate with me. Nina has a great voice and stage presence, and I was very happy when it was announced that she would be representing Montenegro. Still, the song isn't strong enough for me. It's missing that special something.
Peter - Nina has a lot of style and a lot of pathos, and she looks great. Her outfit in the official video is fantastic and way ahead of the game, but the song is rather difficult to access. In the local language, it sounds edgy and exciting, but where's the instant appeal? Where's the memorable melody? The staging with raised neon lights doesn't give the song the necessary adrenaline rush. Not a winner, unfortunately.
Rick - Nina is a great singer of course, and the quality of the song is undeniable. I also love the sound of the language and the choice of words in the chorus, but overall, musically speaking, the whole thing is far too melancholic and unspectacular for me. I would really like Montenegro to stay with us at the Eurovision Song Contest for the long term. But with songs like this, you can't really make much of a splash these days, I guess.

That outfit looks awful and Nina shouldn't be wearing the eye mask at any stage. I think any slim chance it had of qualifying is gone.
Oh my dear nina
I still truly believe that if Serbia and Montenegro had swapped running orders, Serbia wouldn't have qualified while Montenegro would’ve had a real shot.
Some songs are bulletproof and can qualify from any position. But more delicate entries, like ballads from smaller countries, often rely heavily on a good slot to leave a lasting impression.
In this case, the EBU really didn’t do Montenegro any favors. They needed a moment of visibility, and instead, they were placed where they were most likely to be forgotten.
Farewell, Dobrodosli... Proud to say you were my favorite of the whole semi.
