Re: SLOVENIJA - Slovenia 2011
please don't leave me without Slovenia among my favorites, don't break my tradition, so don't send Lendero, Manca and other boring stuff...
As for me, i wouldn't have anything against something like internal slovenian dance pop, better male (you could guess by the way
) or a ballad; but a good ballad - which, for sure, means for me NOT a ballad with a good voice and a lot of pathetic cries like in Tukaj Sem Doma (how can it be compared with a wonderful ballad of Vania, no idea at all). Good ballad is a sad one in minor, possibly ethnic, possibly not.
... dunno if slovenians themselves see the difference, but in Slovenia, like in many other countries, there is a special kind of melodies which takes a stable percent of internal pop and is easily marked as slovenian when you hear it even if it is sung in other language. It is recognized by intervals, rhythm and sometimes arrangement, and we can hear such songs every year in EMA, it's like schlagers in Sweden. And I simply adore 95% of such songs.
You know, in 2005 it was Noe, Noe, in 2006 Plan B, in 2009 Stereotipi. Among other examples are Sebastian... it is absolutely not perspective for ESC, as well as swedish schlagers, but when tell me please, when did Slovenia take good places in ESC? I don't remember, and best examples didn't even pass the semi. So why not send something of that kind?
