Why no one here talks about Tijana Depcevic? She represented Macedonia at the ESC 2014! Unfortunately her song seems weak.
Barely anyone remembers her 2014 entry
Love her song this time tho !

The selection is ok (nothing really extreme and risky, but Serbia normally doesn't do risky anyway), here are some comments from a Bosnian-Serbo-Croatian speaker because I am more objective since I am from EX YU . It all depends on the actual show so our impressions mean not too much. Anyway, my overall impression is that many songs are stuck in mid 2000's.
- Zorja: a better version of Nina Kraljić's song from Dora 2021; still I don't really think this should win, we have seen this and EX YU has been totally non-innovative over the last 10 years, please move forward
- Ivona, Znam: cute, has potential for something, as it develops the songs gets better, English works here, the first I listened until the end
- Origami: catchy, this must be in English since Savij moje telo origami is a ridiculous line, but modern music scene in Serbia is not really known for great lyrics anyway so who knows... This would be ok for ESC, but even without ESC this will be a local hit
- Aca Lukas: please, don't forget, he is a very big folk name in EX YU and has fans and huge concerts so let's see how juries will react on this. Overall, not a bad thing, but I don't see this in ESC
- Konstrakta: we need some edgy staging for this, it's very interesting ("Nemam knjižicu", this is so funny, specially when you understand a typical Balkan context related to this )
- Zejna: hop hop, this is a danger for big favourites. It has some Sobral elements. Probably a jury thing
- Sara Jo: I don't know, it starts cool, but it takes me nowhere
- Naiva: this is not bad
There are more songs that are cool, but let's wait for the actual show. Overall: I will say Origami.

She has a significant number of hits and she is well known in the region, but her 2014 was nothing, I don't really think anyone remembers it.Why no one here talks about Tijana Depcevic? She represented Macedonia at the ESC 2014! Unfortunately her song seems weak.

I think she will qualify for the final though..
Also Goca Trzan..
While I'm not a huge fan of Tijana's entry here, I really do love Goca Trzan's one..

But the solution is not to translate to some random generic bad English lyrics with questionable accents (as I've seen proposed in here), not sure how that would help?Yeah, haven’t heard a good lyric from ex Yu music scene in ages.
At least for non-native speakers, there will be some mystery if Serbian is left (regardless if the lyrics are bad or not, obviously most won't understand), translation will just lead to more people understanding that the lyrics are bad
(and of course erase the authenticity and flow of the entries).randajad

Every song should stay in the language it was constructed in, imo at least.
Also lyric in question is hilarious “bend my body like origami”

Lol, but that's actually amazing, love it! Far more interesting than some "I stand proud, let's take our hands, love will conquer all" yadda yadda nonsense as we mostly get in English language entries in ESCAlso lyric in question is hilarious “bend my body like origami”

In the song "Haos" when I heard the line "Tko prvi pisne......", I had a subconscious chain reaction where I immediately wanted to finish that sentence.
Yeah...I´m childish.
I know, I know.

On a serious note, Sara Jo has my vote. It left the biggest impression on me, especially on re-listen.
Which is a surprise because I expected not to like it before listening to it. Probably because I imagined that it would be something more on a safe side. I don´t really follow her work so I thought it would be something like Hurricane´s "Hasta la vista" which I didn´t care for that much.
But I´m definitely digging the experimental vibe that it has. I´m absolutely living for that gloomy instrumental.
Lyrics are.....ehh.
But I already expected that, so it didn´t really drive me away.
