Re: SERBIA 2018

Wow, Maja actually delivered! Definitely my favourite from the selection.
But I doubt she has any chances, since people consider her crazy? :(

I think you have a lot of meh songs in your line up but there were many I also enjoyed very much. "Svatovi" "Nova deca" "Pod krošnjom bagrema" "Zemlja čuda" I think are my top 4 from what I listened to and each would make a great entry. After the displeasure of my own NF, Serbia has reignited my excitement for ESC this year.

DJ Niko (Nikola Burovac) who is part of Biber here have a gay porn scandal. Actually he made gay porn video with two male journalist from Slovenia :p

Re: SERBIA 2018

To [MENTION=12196]Mrm[/MENTION] with love from Rainyxheart


Love

Jača od svih - Lana i Aldo I like this partly for the wrong reasons as it's very WTF and brought a big smile to my face. That melody! What is it even trying to be!? Iconic. I need to see the live performance. I was living for the entire 3 minutes. Slay me Lana i Aldo.
Hajde da igramo sada – Sevdah bejbi Wooo super duper funky. This takes me on a bubblegum trip. I really like it's groove.
Nema te – Rambo Amadeus i Beti Đorđević Woah I wasn't expecting such a moody jazz number. Beti Đorđević's vocals are absolutely wonderful. This would look super classy in Lisbon. Rambo's spoken word section whilst Beti is scat singing... my body slayed. This is awesome. Love nocturnal sounding jazz.
Pesma za tebe - Saška Janks Soulful, classic sounding number that stands out. The verses really appeal to me, but the whole thing hasn't quite got me on board yet, but I think with time I could grow to fully love this. One to watch. Ok, that was quick. Two listens was all I needed to fall in love. This is gorgeous. Flute part is a bit questionable for me, but I think people will be charmed by it and somehow it adds a Serbian touch to what is quite a Western sounding composition.

Like

Bar da znam – Srđan i Emil Quite charming and strangely catchy, and rock guitar soloxyes
Zemlja čuda - Maja Nikolić Sofi Marinova meets Elitsa & Stoyan. Eurovision needs songs like this and this has potential to be epic in Lisbonxheat Performance could make me fall in love.
Umoran - Rejbass So mysterious. Those deep vocals took me by surprise. A very strange song but I enjoyed it. Would be utterly bizarre to see it at Eurovision.
Samo nek se okreće - Lord I LOVE the instrumental part. Super delightful. Hmmm but rest of the song didn't grab me in the same way. I think this is a grower.

Pretty ok

Nova deca - Sanja Ilić i Balkanika Interesting. I like the mixture of ethnic and trashy delicious club beats. Only problem is I felt like it was missing a decent refrain or hook. I enjoyed my 3 minutes with it but then remembered nothing.
Ni sunca ni meseca - Ivan Kurtić Nothing to complain about here, but didn't get me excited. Nice voice though.
Pod krošnjom bagrema – Dušan Svilar Nice music and again another good voice. Feels very typical but still enjoyable.
Ruža sudbine – Danijel Pavlović Another extremely typical Balkan ballad. Has a nice bridge section, and probably the best pay off of the three ballads i've just talked about.
Probudi se - Osmi vazduh i Drugari I was confused as this was playing. This NF is... bizarre..... in a good way. I like the 80s synth pop thing it's got going on. Nowhere near as good as "Hajde da igramo sada" though. That one does the retro thing much better.
Vila - Boris Režak Bless this sprightly little number. It's kind of cute. Perhaps has the power to annoy after a while.

Mixed feelings

Beži od mene - Igor Lazarević No surprises but pleasant balkan ballad. Didn't come close to wowing me though.
Zato - Koktel Balkan Nice melody in the verses but chorus was a let down. As a song it's inoffensive to me but you can do better.
Svatovi – Biber I DJ Niko Bravo This song is melded together in quite a weird way. That first chorus just arrives and it's jarring. Song is certainly ok. Maybe a grower but right now i'm not that into it.


Congratulations, you have a 17 song NF where not a single one of the songs managed to offend me. That's nothing but a miracle, all things considered. My opinion is that Saška Janks is Lisbon ready. "Pesma za tebe" is beautiful and will do all the talking needed to reach the final. If she's good live then simple, classy staging would make you stand out with this song. Rambo Amadeus and Beti Đorđević's "Nema te" is a big risk of an entry that I wouldn't rule out actually paying off for you if you sent it. It's very high quality and unique, but also strange. If there's one year for an entry like this to shine then it's going to be this one in Lisbon. I've no idea how Sevdah bejbi would do, but damn that song is cool. Lana i Aldo's "Jača od svih" is basically me trying to sabotage youxlove But it's probably actually my legit favourite because sometimes I just need to unleash my legendary train crashing into a river side. The song is just so fabulous that I cannot resist it.

Queen Lana i Aldo for Lisbon! Go the Serbia.

Re: SERBIA 2018

The best song for esc has definitely Balkanika.Great potential and energy lies in this song plus a very strong performance.
The Biber (svatovi) is very very OK - solid song but does not pay attention as Nova deca .

Others are not worth commenting.
Maja Nikolic has a bad song, unfortunately. What they thought would be achieved with Hey Mom ? !!! No No No and NOOOOOO ..., after Moldavia last year...
Maja Nikolic would hardly be in the finals, but most probably not.

Serbia will decide cleverly .. Balakanika. Top 10 has a certain !

"Nova deca" gives me Bulgaria 2007 vibe. Although "Voda" was way better.

But you see, it was worth listening to all these entries... :D :mrgreen: I wouldn't call you for nothing.. :lol:

I like how strange this NF is....and I'm glad now I bought tickets to attend it live at Sava Centar..

My fave is Rambo & Beti..you described it so well! xup

Lana i Aldo is MESMERIZINGLY SUREAL and BIZZARE...I still can't believe it is what it is..and i'm still not sure what it actually is... xshrug :D But I LOVE it!

What you will get from me is vote for Lana i Aldo and Rambo & Beti in the final..

Nova Deca and Jutros. Love them. I can't chose which one is my favorite. I want both songs for the ESC.

Re: SERBIA 2018

People always complain, especially esc fans, but this song is made for big stage and with good staging this can do very well. Do you remember reactions on Jelena's Oro after she won Beovizija - bland song, quite boring, blah blah. And what's happened o Eurovision? Booom and we got one of the best Serbian esc songs and even today majority fans much more like Oro than for example Molitva or Lane.

I am quite optimistic about Balkanika this year. And btw Beti & Rambo are now on my 3rd place, Nema te is just great song. I will notcomplain at all if they win
