Nevena was spot on!
The song is still meh, but she managed to make it work so great!

As far as balkan ballad goes it's one of the more generic and unnecessary "pop-ish" versions that we got in ESC, however still deserved to qualify in this context and the live performance really made the song grow as well... the English parts still feel out of place though.

After this I predicted it would qualify but believe that it will make a more boring final

I was very pleased to see Serbia qualify. Nevena certainly deserved it. There's something familiar and quite comforting about Kruna. It's not reinventing the wheel but it doesn't need to. It's beautiful just as it is. Nevena was wonderful to watch. Stunning makeup as well courtesy of [MENTION=14007]lavieenrose[/MENTION] Studios. That gorgeous subtle lipstick. To die for.

Songs in native languages are always a big + for me especially when they are delivered in such a powerful manner. The composition itself is still not my cup of tea but man she nailed it last night. Deserved qualifier.

It was good and I don't have much more to say! (also I AM a sucker for staging that makes the female singer look like a Japanese RPG sorceress)

Stunning. Just like Zena, she totally owned it without issue. Self-assured world-class performance. The song isn't my favourite either though I don't dislike it all, but I really just enjoy her.

I am so happy she made it! Serbia is my top 10 (although I never actually sat down to make my top 10 this year but I'm sure she'll be there 
) and Nevena deserved a spot in the final. For me it should end up on the left side of the board. I will say it again, good old classic Serbian ballads. Keep 'em coming 
I wish it was in full Serbian though...

I was really proud with this performance 
It was pretty much flawless both vocally and visually.
We will see what happens in the final but I am optimistic, and in any case, I think everyone in can and should be proud with a performance like this.
Really good job.

I loved it. If I remember correctly, I said "Finally, something good" when sharing my impressions on twitter. I hope this goes far.
