Comparable to Slovenia last year. Although no, this one is better, the singer is at least not annoying.

I want to like this. I usually adore the Balkan ballads, but this one doesn't really do it for me. :( I love the atmosphere of it, I love the little orchestra, I love the feeling of it.. but the melody/chord progression (which for me is what makes the song) is not to my taste at all. 5 points.

I think this one has the ability to surprise a lot of people in May. 2014 and 2016 show that Montenegro really knows what to do with staging so I'm holding out hope.

Agree on everything you said... I want to like this more, since I'm very into balkan ballads, but I feel like there's something in this one that's missing :(

I just realised that the verse of this Greek Balad is similar with Inje's verse...especially the piano is almost the same!!

This is not that bad. Actually, the music is pretty good, I like it. Yes, it's a Balkan typical style ballad, but there are many typical pop songs every year and nobody is complaining "Oh, one more pop song". This song needs:
- revamp
- better lyrics (well, I don't think they will change it)
- epic staging. :D

The guy is ok, nothing wow. Reminds me of Sergej Ćetković.

Can someone explain why this is consistently at the bottom of every poll, ranking video etc. I can find?

I think RTCG's sound problems are to blame..look at how he's holding the mike.. + lack of visual elements
Everything about this is low budget and awkward
Only true balkan ballad lovers enjoy this. Personally, i can differentiate between this and 2014 & 2015

I thought the revamp was supposed to come out yesterday? I'm hoping for the verses to be transformed, violins and strings added, and more depth and explosion for the chorus, especially at the end...then this could be a worthy Balkan ballad!

Google Translate + this article tells me the revamp is now scheduled for 20:00 CET tonight.

Because song is very weak, even for us who understands the language

Well, to me, the verse sounds like Lejla and the chorus like any Balkan ballad (which is good cause I usually love them). Considering Moj Svijet and Adio were also good but not as good as Inje (imo) I really hope people will see the beauty of this song and vote it into the final. Just hope the revamp won‘t disappoint me because almost all revamps of the past have been shitty.

I was right, the revamp is equally amazing. xheart The song wasn't changed drastically, but became more powerful in my opinion.

Waited until the revamp to hear this. Wish the last minute was stronger, but another good Balkan ballad at Eurovision. Likely grower, but for now...
